Item 5. Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements.

The information set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule TO is amended and supplemented by adding the following disclosure reflected in Alcoa’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2007:

“On June 20, 2007, Alain J.P. Belda, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Alcoa Inc. (“Alcoa”), sent a letter (the “June 20th Letter”) to Richard B. Evans, President and Chief Executive Officer of Alcan Inc. (“Alcan”), regarding then-recent press articles that referred to a data room that Alcan may have made available to third parties. Mr. Belda stated in the June 20th Letter that if such a data room was in existence, Alcoa would welcome the opportunity to visit the data room and immediately begin reviewing the available information in order to determine whether additional value for Alcan’s shareholders might be unlocked beyond that which Alcoa had already determined.

During the morning of June 22, 2007, Mr. Evans called Mr. Belda to discuss the June 20th Letter. Later that day, Mr. Evans sent a letter (the “June 22nd Letter”) to Mr. Belda informing Mr. Belda that Alcan was exploring alternatives “consistent with the best interests” of Alcan shareholders, including ongoing discussions with third parties.

On June 27, 2007, Mr. Belda sent a letter (the “June 27th Letter”) to Mr. Evans reiterating Alcoa’s desire to determine whether there is additional value for Alcan’s shareholders beyond that reflected in Alcoa’s pending offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all outstanding Alcan common shares. In the June 27th Letter, Mr. Belda also proposed a meeting between Alcan and Alcoa representatives to be held in Montreal within a few days.

On the evening of June 27, 2007, Mr. Evans sent the following email message to Mr. Belda:

Dear Alain,

Your letter of this morning has been brought to the attention of the Strategic Committee of Alcan’s Board of Directors and discussed thoroughly. At this point we see no reason to engage in further discussions or correspondence.

Regards,

Dick

On June 28, 2007, Mr. Belda sent a letter (the “June 28th Letter”) to Mr. Evans reiterating Alcoa’s willingness to consider value for Alcan’s shareholders beyond that reflected in the outstanding Offer and stating his belief that Alcoa’s effort to do so was consistent with Alcan’s stated goal of finding additional value for Alcan’s shareholders and the fiduciary duties of Alcan’s board of directors. Mr. Belda reiterated that Alcoa and its advisors stood ready to engage in substantive discussions with Alcan and its board of directors at the earliest practicable time.”

The Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on July 3, 2007 is hereby incorporated by reference into Item 5 of the Schedule TO.
