How is the dividend classified from a U.S. tax perspective?

Distributions will be treated as dividends for tax purposes to the extent that they are paid out of Alcoa’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds Alcoa’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the excess will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Alcoa shares or CDIs. The balance of the excess, if any, will be treated as gain from the sale of shares. Non-dividend distributions characterized as “return of capital” for U.S. tax purposes require Alcoa to post on its website Form 8937 reflecting the impact on shareholders’ tax basis for each distribution made during the previous year. The information contained in the Form 8937 is based on reasonable assumptions and estimates at the time the Form is posted. Such estimates and assumptions can change and, if they do, Alcoa will file a corrected Form 8937. When applicable, you can download Form 8937.

Is the dividend taxable in the year it is distributed?

The extent to which Alcoa Corporation’s distributions are taxable as dividends for U.S. tax purposes is reported to U.S. shareholders on Form 1099-DIV.

What if my broker sent me an incorrect Form 1099-DIV?

To ensure that information regarding brokerage accounts is correctly reported to the IRS, a shareholder who receives an incorrect Form 1099-DIV should contact the broker directly to request a corrected Form 1099-DIV. Brokers can access the correct information through the Depository Trust Company’s databank.

Will dividends be subject to withholding tax?

Distributions will be treated as dividends to non-U.S. holders to the extent that they are paid out of Alcoa’s current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds Alcoa’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, the excess will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its Alcoa shares or CDIs. The balance of the excess, if any, will be treated as gain from the sale of shares. Please refer to the section above on a dividend’s classification for U.S. tax purposes and reporting on Form 8937. Taxable dividends paid to a non-U.S. holder generally will be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate, or a reduced rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty. To obtain a reduced rate of withholding under an applicable income tax treaty, a holder generally will be required to provide a properly executed Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN or Internal Revenue Service Form W-8BEN-E, as applicable, certifying its entitlement to benefits under the income tax treaty. A non-U.S. holder eligible for a reduced rate of U.S. federal withholding tax pursuant to an income tax treaty may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the Internal Revenue Service. Shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. tax consequences of these distributions, as additional withholding rules may apply under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or “FATCA”.

Where can I find further information regarding the U.S. income tax treatment of dividends and returns of capital?

See IRS Publication 550, Investment Income and Expenses. State tax treatment may vary. Shareholders are encouraged to consult their tax advisors regarding the income tax consequences of these distributions.

Where can I find further information regarding non-U.S. income tax treatment of dividends and returns of capital?

Shareholders are encourage to consult their tax advisors regarding the income tax consequences of these distributions.

What is the timing of dividend payments?

We intend to pay a cash dividend on a quarterly basis. However, our ability to pay dividends will depend on our ongoing ability to generate cash from operations and on our access to the capital markets. We cannot guarantee that we will pay a dividend in the future or continue to pay any dividends if and when we commence paying dividends. The payment of any dividends in the future, and the timing and amount thereof, is within the discretion of Alcoa Corporation’s Board of Directors. The Board of Directors’ decisions regarding the payment of dividends will depend on many factors, such as our financial condition, earnings, capital requirements, debt service obligations, restrictive covenants in our debt, industry practice, legal requirements, regulatory constraints and other factors that our Board of Directors deems relevant.
