Novelis - 2013 Annual Incentive Plan (“2013 AIP”)

Key features of the Scheme:

 

1.

Title and Administration: The plan shall be referred to as the 2013 AIP. The
plan will be administered by Novelis Corporate Human Resources.

 

2.

Performance Year: For this plan the performance period will be April 1, 2012 to
March 31, 2013. Payouts, computed on the basis of performance, will be made
following necessary approvals.

 

3.

Eligibility: Employees in bands 11B and above are eligible to participate.

 

4.

Opportunity: The target opportunity across regions will be in line with market
practice and defined to be competitive and motivate employees to drive the
desired behavior in the organization.

 

5.

Measures and application of weights to each measure to be used for computation
of the 2013 AIP: Three measures shall be used to compute performance. The three
measures are as follows:

 

  a.

Normalized EBITDA: Defined as Net Revenues — COGS without depreciation - S&AE —
R&D + Realized G/L on Derivatives. This will carry a 50% weighting on the
overall plan.

 

  b.

Operating Free Cash Flow: Defined as Operating EBITDA — CAPEX — Change in
Working Capital — Change in Deferred Items. In terms of specifics, the measure
of operating free cash flow will be used for the regions and Free Cash Flow
(FCF), which includes interest, tax, dividends and corporate costs, will be used
for overall Novelis performance. This will carry a 30% weighting on the overall
plan.

 

  c.

Individual Performance: This is based on the individual performance rating in
the Performance Management System for Novelis. This will carry a 20% weighting
in the overall plan.

 

6.

Mix of business performance impact: Different levels and roles will carry a
differential weighting on the basis of line of sight and impact. Some of the
weightings will be as follows :

 

  a.

All Corporate Staff, members of the Global Operating Committee, employees in Job
Band 2, and Global Value Stream Leaders are 100% based on overall Novelis
results.

 

  b.

All other Region staff will be 50% overall Novelis performance and 50% on Region
performance.

 

7.

Performance Measures and Targets for the 2013 AIP: The performance measures,
including thresholds, targets and maximums, will be as approved by the Board for
FY 2013.

 

8.

Overall Threshold: No AIP bonus will be paid with respect to Normalized EBITDA,
Operating Cash Flow, and Individual Performance components unless overall
Novelis Normalized EBITDA for the fiscal year is at least 80% of target. Once
the 80% minimum overall Novelis Normalized EBITDA threshold is achieved, the
actual payout under each of these three components will range from 50% of target
(threshold) to 175% of target (maximum) depending upon the actual results
attributable to each such component.

Other aspects of the plan :

 

  a.

Payments will be made in a lump sum during the first quarter following the close
of the performance year. An individual needs to either be employed in a 2013 AIP
eligible position or transferred or hired into an eligible position during the
performance year to receive payout under the AIP.

 

  b.

Eligibility and payouts for employees who join during the plan year will be
determined by the “Plan Rules Administration” document maintained by the
Corporate Compensation department.

 

  c.

Eligibility and payouts for employees who leave during the plan year will be
determined by the “Plan Rules Administration” document maintained by the
Compensation department.
