EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Under a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-91331) (the “Registration Statement”), Alcoa Inc., a Pennsylvania corporation (the “Registrant”), offered for sale 200,000 shares of its common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”) and plan interests under the Alumax Inc. Thrift Plan for Salaried Employees, the Alumax Inc. Thrift Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees and the Alumax Inc. Thrift Plan for Hourly Employees (collectively, the “Alumax Thrift Plans”). The Registrant hereby amends the Registration Statement by filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.

 

Effective November 1, 2003, the Alumax Inc. Thrift Plan for Collectively Bargained Employees was merged with and into the Alcoa Savings Plan for Bargaining Employees. Effective November 1, 2003, the Alumax Inc. Thrift Plan for Salaried Employees and the Alumax Inc. Thrift Plan for Hourly Employees were merged with and into the Alcoa Savings Plan for Non-Bargaining Employees, and immediately thereafter selected employee populations were transferred to the Alcoa Savings Plan for Subsidiary and Affiliate Employees.

 

As a result of these transactions, the offering described in the Registration Statement under each of the Alumax Thrift Plans has terminated. This Post-Effective Amendment is being filed solely to remove from registration any shares of Common Stock offered under the Registration Statement under the Alumax Thrift Plans that remained unsold at the termination of the offering.
