On May 25, 2005, Alcoa Inc.

Also, on May 25, 2005, Alcoa’s Canadian subsidiary, Alcoa Ltée, received from the Competition Bureau Canada an order issued by the Federal Court of Canada in Vancouver, British Columbia. The order relates to an inquiry pursuant to the Competition Act into the sale and supply of aluminum fluoride in Canada and elsewhere and calls for the production of certain records and information in the possession of or under the control of Alcoa Ltée, Alcoa and/or Alcoa World Alumina LLC. In addition, by letter dated May 26, 2005, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) requested Alcoa’s Australian subsidiary, Alcoa of Australia Limited, to provide certain information and documents to assist in the ACCC’s investigation of possible anti-competitive conduct by suppliers of aluminum fluoride.
