 PLEA AGREEMENT 

The United States of America, by and through the Fraud Section of the Criminal Division of the United States Department of Justice and the
United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Pennsylvania (the “United States” or the “Department”), and the defendant, Alcoa World Alumina LLC (the “Defendant”), by and through its undersigned
attorneys, and through its authorized representative, pursuant to authority granted by Defendant’s Board of Member Representatives, hereby submit and enter into this plea agreement (the “Agreement”), pursuant to Rule 11(c)(1)(C) of
the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure. The terms and conditions of this Agreement are as follows: 
 The Defendant’s Agreement

 1. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(1)(C), the Defendant agrees to waive its right to grand jury indictment and its right to
challenge venue in the District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania, and to plead guilty to a one-count Information charging the Defendant with one count of violating the anti-bribery provisions of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of
1977 (“FCPA”), as amended, Title 15, United States Code, Section 78dd-2, and Title 18, United 







 
States Code, Section 2. Upon acceptance by the Court of this Agreement, the Defendant further agrees to persist in that plea through sentencing and, as set forth below, to cooperate fully
with the Department in its investigation into all matters related to the conduct charged in the Information. 
 2. The Defendant understands
and agrees that this Agreement is between the Department and the Defendant and does not bind any other division or section of the Department of Justice or any other federal, state, or local prosecuting, administrative, or regulatory authority.
Nevertheless, the Department will bring this Agreement and the cooperation of the Defendant, its direct or indirect affiliates, subsidiaries, and majority shareholder to the attention of other prosecuting authorities or other agencies, if requested
by the Defendant. 
 3. The Defendant agrees that this Agreement will be executed by an authorized corporate representative. The Defendant
further agrees that a resolution duly adopted by the Defendant’s Board of Member Representatives, attached to this Agreement as Exhibit 1, or in similar form, authorizes the Defendant to enter into this Agreement and take all necessary steps to
effectuate this Agreement, and that the signatures on this Agreement by the Defendant and its counsel are authorized by the Defendant’s Board of Member Representatives on behalf of the Defendant. In connection with this Agreement, the Defendant
will also provide to the Department a certified resolution of the Board of Directors of Alcoa Inc., attached as Exhibit 2 hereto, or in similar form, that provides that Alcoa Inc. (“Alcoa”), and its subsidiaries, divisions, groups and
affiliates, except for the Defendant, agree to certain undertakings as set forth in this Agreement in exchange for the United States’ agreement in paragraph 20. 

4. Except as may otherwise be agreed by the parties hereto in connection with a particular transaction, the Defendant agrees that if, at any
time while the Defendant has 







 
obligations under this Agreement, the Defendant sells, merges, or transfers all or substantially all of its business operations as they exist as of the date of this Agreement, whether such
sale(s) is/are structured as a stock or asset sale, merger, or transfer, the Defendant shall include in any contract for sale, merger, or transfer a provision fully binding the purchaser(s) or any successor(s) in interest thereto to the guarantees
and obligations described in this Agreement. 
 5. The Defendant waives any statute of limitations with regard to any conduct relating to
corrupt payments and related internal accounting controls or books and records violations as of the date of this Agreement through the full term of the Defendant’s probation and until all of the Defendant’s obligations under this Agreement
have been satisfied. 
 6. The Defendant agrees and represents that it has the full legal right, power, and authority to enter into and
perform all of its obligations under this Agreement. 
 7. The Defendant agrees to pay the United States a criminal fine in the amount of
$209,000,000 in five equal annual installments of $41,800,000. The first payment shall be made in full on or before the tenth (10) business day after the date of the entry of the judgment of conviction following the Defendant’s sentencing,
and the second, third, fourth and fifth payments shall be due in full, respectively, on the first, second, third, and fourth-year anniversaries of the entry of the judgment of conviction. The Defendant agrees to wire transfer these payments to the
Clerk of the Court for the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania. The Defendant further agrees to pay the Clerk of the Court for the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania the mandatory
special assessment of $400 within ten (10) business days from the date of entry of the judgment of conviction. The Defendant acknowledges that no tax deductions may be sought in connection with the payment of the fine. 







 8. As a result of the Defendant’s conduct as set forth in the Statement of Facts, attached
as Exhibit 3 hereto, the parties agree the Department could institute a civil and/or criminal forfeiture action against certain funds held by the Defendant and that such funds would be forfeitable pursuant to Title 18, United States Code, Section
981 and Title 28, United States Code, Section 2461. The Defendant hereby acknowledges that at least $ 14,000,000 was involved in transactions described in Exhibit 3 in violation of Title 15, United States Code, Section 78dd-2 and Title 18, United
States Code, Section 2. The Defendant hereby agrees to administratively forfeit to the United States the sum of $14,000,000 (the “Forfeiture Amount”). The Defendant and Alcoa hereby agree that, in the event the funds used to pay the
Forfeiture Amount are not directly traceable to the transactions, the monies used to pay the Forfeiture Amount shall be considered substitute res for the purpose of forfeiture to the United States pursuant to Title 18, United States Code,
Section 981, and the Defendant and Alcoa release any and all right, title, interest, and claims they may have to such funds. To accomplish this administrative forfeiture, the Defendant agrees to pay the Forfeiture Amount plus any associated transfer
fees within ten (10) business days of the date of entry of the judgment of conviction following the Defendant’s sentencing by check or wire transfer made payable to the United States Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. The
Defendant and Alcoa agree to sign any additional documents necessary to complete forfeiture of the funds. The Defendant and Alcoa take no position as to the disposition of the funds after payment and waive any statutory or procedural notice
requirements with respect to the United States’ disposition of the funds. The Defendant and Alcoa knowingly and voluntarily waive any claim or defense they may have under the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, including any
claim of excessive fine or penalty with respect to the forfeited assets. In the event of a breach of this Agreement, the Defendant and Alcoa acknowledge that the United States may pursue additional civil and criminal forfeiture in excess of the
Forfeiture Amount. 







 9. The Defendant agrees to abide by all terms and obligations of this Agreement as described
herein, including, but not limited to, the following: 
 a. to plead guilty as set forth in this Agreement; 

b. to abide by all sentencing stipulations contained in this Agreement; 

c. to appear, through its duly appointed representatives, as ordered for all court appearances, and obey any other ongoing court order in this
matter; 
 d. to commit no further crimes; 

e. to be truthful at all times with the Court; 

f. to pay the applicable fine and special assessment; and 

g. to continue to participate in and abide by the Corporate Compliance Program established by Alcoa, which Alcoa has separately agreed to
continue to implement and maintain, attached as Exhibit 4. 
 10. The Defendant agrees to continue to cooperate fully with the Department,
the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigations Division (the “IRS”), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (the “FBI”), and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) in a manner consistent with
applicable law and regulations, in any and all matters relating to the conduct described in this Agreement and Exhibit 3, and other conduct under investigation by the Department that has commenced before or during the term of this Agreement, until
the date upon which all investigations and prosecutions arising out of such conduct are concluded, whether or not those investigations and prosecutions are concluded within the term of Defendant’s probation in paragraph 35(c). At the request of
the Department, the Defendant shall also cooperate fully with foreign law enforcement authorities and agencies and the Multilateral Development Banks (“MDBs”). Such cooperation shall include, but not be limited to, the following: 

a. The Defendant shall, to the extent consistent with the foregoing, truthfully disclose to the Department all factual information not
protected by a valid claim of attorney-client privilege or work product doctrine protection with respect to the activities of the Defendant, Alcoa and their affiliates, their present and former member representatives, directors, officers, employees,
agents, consultants, contractors, and subcontractors, concerning all matters relating to corrupt payments to foreign public officials or to employees of private customers or concerning related internal controls or books and records violations about
which the Defendant or Alcoa have any knowledge and about which the Department, the FBI, the IRS, the SEC, or, at the request of the Department, any foreign law enforcement authorities and agencies and MDBs, shall inquire; 







 b. The Defendant shall provide to the Department, upon request, any nonprivileged or
non-protected document, record, or other tangible evidence relating to such corrupt payments to foreign public officials or to employees of private customers about which the aforementioned authorities and agencies shall inquire of the Defendant,
subject to the direction of the Department; and 
 c. The Defendant shall ensure that the Department is given access to all current, and to
the extent possible, former member representatives, officers, employees, agents, and consultants of the Defendant and Alcoa for interviews and testimony in the United States relating to such payments. 

11. The Defendant agrees that if it or any of its direct or indirect affiliates or subsidiaries issues a press release or holds a press
conference in connection with this Agreement, 







 
the Defendant shall first consult with the Department to determine whether (a) the text of the release or proposed statements at any press conference are true and accurate with respect to
matters between the Department and the Defendant and Alcoa; and (b) the Department has no objection to the release or statement. Statements at any press conference concerning this matter shall be consistent with this press release. 

Alcoa’s Agreement 

12. In exchange for the United States’ agreement in paragraph 20, Alcoa agrees that it and its subsidiaries, divisions, groups and
affiliates will fulfill the commitments and be bound to the terms outlined in paragraphs 8, 9(g), and 13 to 19 of this Agreement and in Exhibits 2 and 4 attached hereto. 

13. Alcoa agrees to guarantee, secure and ensure delivery by the Defendant of all payments due from the Defendant under the Agreement;
provided, however, that such guarantee shall be expressly conditioned upon the Court’s acceptance of the Agreement and entry of a judgment consistent with all provisions of the Agreement. Alcoa acknowledges that no tax deductions may be sought
in connection with the payment of the fine. 
 14. Alcoa agrees not to institute or participate in any proceeding to interfere with, alter,
or bar enforcement of any fine, penalty, special assessment or forfeiture order imposed on the Defendant pursuant to this Agreement pursuant to the automatic stay or other provision of the United States Bankruptcy Code. 

15. Except as may otherwise be agreed by the parties hereto in connection with a particular transaction, Alcoa agrees that if, at any time
while Alcoa still has obligations and commitments to the United States as set forth in this Agreement, Alcoa sells, merges, or transfers all or substantially all of its business operations as they exist as of the date of this Agreement,








 
whether such sale(s) is/are structured as a stock or asset sale, merger, or transfer, Alcoa shall include in any contract for sale, merger, or transfer a provision fully binding the purchaser(s)
or any successor(s) in interest thereto to the guarantees and obligations described in this Agreement. 
 16. Alcoa agrees that it and its
subsidiaries, divisions, groups and affiliates shall continue to cooperate fully on matters and in a manner substantially similar to the cooperation required of the Defendant in paragraphs 10(a)-(c) with the Department, the IRS, the FBI, and
the SEC. Such cooperation shall be in a manner consistent with applicable law and regulations. This includes cooperating fully in any investigation of Alcoa and its subsidiaries, divisions, groups and affiliates, and any of its present and former
officers, directors, employees, agents and consultants, or any other party, in any and all matters relating to this Agreement and Exhibit 3. 

17. Alcoa agrees that if it or any of its direct or indirect affiliates or subsidiaries issues a press release or holds a press conference in
connection with this Agreement, Alcoa shall first consult with the Department to determine whether (a) the text of the release or proposed statements at any press conference are true and accurate with respect to matters between the Department
and the Defendant and Alcoa; and (b) the Department has no objection to the release or statement. Statements at any press conference concerning this matter shall be consistent with this press release. 

18. Other than as may be necessary with respect to defense of civil litigation or arbitration relating to this matter, Alcoa waives all
rights, whether asserted directly or by a representative, to request or receive from any department or agency of the United States any records pertaining to the investigation or prosecution of this case, including without limitation any records that
may be sought under the Freedom of Information Act, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552, or the Privacy Act, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552a. 







 19. Alcoa waives all defenses based on the statute of limitations, venue, speedy trial under the
United States Constitution and the Speedy Trial Act, and any and all constitutional and non-jurisdictional defenses with respect to any prosecution of Alcoa that is not time-barred on the date that this Agreement is signed related to or arising from
the conduct charged in the Information to be filed against the Defendant, in the event that Alcoa fails to fulfill its commitments as set forth in this Agreement for any reason, provided such prosecution is brought within one year of such breach or
failure plus the remaining time period of the statute of limitations as of the date that this Agreement is signed. 
 The United
States’ Agreement 
 20. In exchange for the guilty plea of the Defendant and the complete fulfillment of all of the
Defendant’s and Alcoa’s obligations as set forth in this Agreement, the Department agrees that it will not file additional criminal charges against the Defendant or Alcoa, or any of their direct or indirect affiliates or subsidiaries,
relating to (a) any of the conduct described in the Statement of Facts, attached as Exhibit 3, or the criminal information filed pursuant to this Agreement or (b) information disclosed by the Defendant or Alcoa to the Department prior to the date of
this Agreement. This paragraph does not provide any protection against prosecution for any corrupt payments, false accounting, or failure to implement internal controls or circumvention of internal controls, if any, made in the future by the
Defendant or Alcoa. This Agreement does not close or preclude the investigation or prosecution of any natural persons, including any officers, directors, member representatives, employees, agents, or consultants of the Defendant or Alcoa, who may
have been involved in any of the matters set forth in the Information, Statement of Facts, or in any other matters. 







 Factual Basis 

21. The Defendant is pleading guilty because it is guilty of the charge contained in the Information. The Defendant admits, agrees, and
stipulates only that the factual allegations with respect to its conduct as set forth in the Statement of Facts, attached hereto as Exhibit 3 and incorporated herein, are true and correct, that it is responsible for the acts of its officers and
employees described in the Statement of Facts, and that the Statement of Facts accurately reflects the Defendant’s criminal conduct. 

Defendant’s Waiver of Rights, Including the Right to Appeal 

22. Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(f) and Federal Rule of Evidence 410 limit the admissibility of statements made in the course of plea
proceedings or plea discussions in both civil and criminal proceedings, if the guilty plea is later withdrawn. The Defendant expressly warrants that it has discussed these rules with its counsel and understands them. Solely to the extent set forth
below, the Defendant voluntarily waives and gives up the rights enumerated in Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 11(f) and Federal Rule of Evidence 410. Specifically, the Defendant understands and agrees that any statements that it makes in the
course of its guilty plea or in connection with the Agreement are admissible against it for any purpose in any U.S. federal criminal proceeding if, even though the Department has fulfilled all of its obligations under this Agreement and the Court
has imposed the agreed-upon sentence, the Defendant nevertheless withdraws its guilty plea. 
 23. The Defendant is satisfied that the
Defendant’s attorneys have rendered effective assistance. The Defendant understands that by entering into this Agreement, the Defendant surrenders certain rights as provided in this Agreement. The Defendant understands that the rights of
criminal defendants include the following: 
 a. If the Defendant had persisted in a plea of not guilty to the charges, the Defendant would
have the right to a speedy jury trial with the assistance of counsel. The trial may be conducted by a judge sitting without a jury if the Defendant, the United States, and the Court all agree. 







 b. At a trial, the United States would be required to present its witnesses and other evidence
against the Defendant. The Defendant would be able to confront and cross-examine adverse witnesses. In turn, the Defendant could, but would not be required to, present witnesses and other evidence on its own behalf. If the witnesses for the
Defendant would not appear voluntarily, the Defendant could require their attendance through the subpoena power of the Court. 
 c. At a
trial, no inference of guilt could be drawn from the Defendant’s refusal to present evidence. However, if the Defendant desired to, do so, it could present evidence on its own behalf. 

24. The Defendant also understands that Title 18, United States Code, Section 3742, affords a defendant the right to appeal the sentence
imposed. Nonetheless, the Defendant knowingly waives the right to appeal the conviction and sentence imposed by the Court, provided that such sentence is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, in exchange for the concessions made by the United
States in this Agreement. This Agreement does not affect the rights or obligations of the United States as set forth in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3742(b). 

25. The Defendant is also aware that the United States Constitution and the laws of the United States afford the Defendant the right to
contest or “collaterally attack” its conviction or sentence after the conviction has become final. Knowing that, the Defendant knowingly 







 
waives the right to contest or “collaterally attack” the Defendant’s plea, conviction, and sentence, provided that such sentence is consistent with the terms of this Agreement, by
means of any post-conviction proceeding. 
 26. Other than as may be necessary with respect to defense of civil litigation or arbitration
relating to this matter, the Defendant also hereby waives all rights, whether asserted directly or by a representative, to request or receive from any department or agency of the United States any records pertaining to the investigation or
prosecution of this case, including without limitation any records that may be sought under the Freedom of Information Act, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552, or the Privacy Act, Title 5, United States Code, Section 552a. 

27. The Defendant waives all defenses based on the statute of limitations and venue with respect to any prosecution that is not time-barred on
the date that this Agreement is signed in the event that: (a) the conviction is later vacated for any reason; (b) the Defendant or Alcoa violates this Agreement; or (c) the plea is later withdrawn, provided such prosecution is brought
within one year of any such vacation of conviction, violation of agreement, or withdrawal of plea plus the remaining time period of the statute of limitations as of the date that this Agreement is signed. The Department is free to take any position
on appeal or any other post-judgment matter. 
 28. The Defendant waives all defenses to its conduct charged in the Information based on
venue, speedy trial under the Unites States Constitution and the Speedy Trial Act, and any and all constitutional and non-jurisdictional defects. 

29. The Defendant acknowledges that no threats have been made against the Defendant and that the Defendant is pleading guilty freely and
voluntarily because the Defendant is guilty. 







 Penalty 

30. The statutory maximum sentence that the Court can impose for a violation of Title 15, United States Code, Section 78dd-2, is a fine
of $2,000,000 or twice the gross pecuniary gain or gross pecuniary loss resulting from the offense, whichever is greatest, Title 18, United States Code, Section 3571(c)(3) and (d); five years’ probation, Title 18, United States Code,
Section 3561(c)(1); and a mandatory special assessment of $400, Title 18, United States Code, Section 3013(a)(2)(B). 
 31. The
Defendant hereby stipulates and agrees not to institute or participate in any proceeding to interfere with, alter, or bar enforcement of any fine, penalty, special assessment or forfeiture order pursuant to the automatic stay or other provision of
the United States Bankruptcy Code. 
 32. The Defendant agrees that nothing in this Agreement is intended to release the Defendant from any
and all of the Defendant’s excise and income tax liabilities and reporting obligations for any and all income not properly reported and/or legally or illegally obtained or derived. 

Sentencing Recommendation 

33. The United States and the Defendant agree that pursuant to United States v. Booker, 543 U.S. 220 (2005), the Court must determine
an advisory sentencing guideline range pursuant to the United States Sentencing Guidelines. The Court will then determine a reasonable sentence within the statutory range after considering the advisory sentencing guideline range and the factors
listed in Title 18, United States Code, Section 3553(a). The parties’ agreement herein to any guideline sentencing factors constitutes proof of those factors sufficient to satisfy the applicable burden of proof. 







 34. The United States and the Defendant agree that a faithful application of the United States
Sentencing Guidelines (U.S.S.G.) to determine the applicable fine range yields the following analysis: 
  

	 	a.	The 2012 U.S.S.G. are applicable to this matter. 

  

	 	b.	Offense Level. Based upon U.S.S.G. § 2C1.1, the total offense level is 48, calculated as follows: 

  

							
	 (a)(2)
	  	 Base Offense Level
	  	 	12

	  	 	+4	  
		  		  	  
	  
	 
		
	 TOTAL
	  	 	48	  

  

	 	c.	Base Fine. Based upon U.S.S.G. § 8C2.4(a)(1) and § 2C1.1(d), the base fine is $446,000,000 (the pecuniary gain from the offense) 


 

	 	d.	Culpability Score. Based upon U.S.S.G. § 8C2.5, the culpability score is 5, calculated as follows: 

  

							
	 (a)
	  	 Base Culpability Score
	  	 	5	  
			
	 (b)(4)
	  	the organization had 50 or more employees and an individual within substantial authority personnel participated in, condoned, or was willfully ignorant of the offense	  	 	+2

 35. Pursuant to Rule 11(c)(1)(C) of the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure, the United States and the
Defendant agree that the following represents the appropriate disposition of the case: 
 a. Fine. Pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P.
11(c)(1)(C), the United States and the Defendant agree that the appropriate disposition of this case is, and agree to recommend jointly, that the Court impose a sentence requiring the Defendant to pay to the United States a criminal fine of
$209,000,000. Because the immediate payment of the entire fine “would pose an undue burden on” the Defendant and Alcoa, U.S.S.G. § 8C3.2(b), the United States and the Defendant agree that the entire fine shall be paid in five equal
annual installments of $41,800,000, with the first payment due in full on or before the tenth (10th) business day after the date of the entry of the judgment of conviction. Thereafter, the second, third, fourth and fifth payments shall each be due
in full, respectively, on the first, second, third, and fourth-year anniversaries of the date of the entry of judgment of conviction (“the recommended sentence”). The United States and the Defendant have agreed that a fine of $209,000,000
is the appropriate disposition based on the following factors and those in 18 U.S.C. § 3553(a): (a) the impact of a penalty within the guidelines range on the financial condition of the Defendant’s majority shareholder, Alcoa, and its
potential to “substantially jeopardiz[e]” Alcoa’s ability to compete, see U.S.S.G. § 8C3.3(b), including, but not limited to, its ability to fund its sustaining and improving capital expenditures,








 
its ability to invest in research and development, its ability to fund its pension obligations, and its ability to maintain necessary cash reserves to fund its operations and meet its
liabilities; (b) the significant remedy being imposed on the Defendant’s majority shareholder, Alcoa, by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for Alcoa’s conduct in this matter; (c) after learning of the allegations of
FCPA violations, Alcoa’s Board of Directors appointed a Special Committee of the Board of Directors to oversee an internal investigation by independent counsel; (d) the substantial cooperation provided to the Department by the
Defendant’s majority shareholder, Alcoa, including conducting an extensive internal investigation, voluntarily making employees available for interviews, and collecting, analyzing, and organizing voluminous evidence and information for the
Department; (e) the remedial efforts already undertaken and to be undertaken by the Defendant’s majority shareholder, Alcoa, which affect both the Defendant’s operations and those of Alcoa, including the hiring of new senior legal and
ethics and compliance officers and the implementation of enhanced due diligence reviews of the retention of third-party agents and consultants; and (f) Alcoa’s separate commitment to ensuring that its anti-corruption compliance program
will be maintained to continue to satisfy the minimum elements set forth in Exhibit 4 to this Agreement. 
 b. Mandatory Special
Assessment. The Defendant shall pay to the Clerk of the Court for the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania within ten (10) business days of the date of the entry of the judgment of conviction the mandatory
special assessment of $400. 
 c. A Term of Four Years Probation. A four-year term of probation shall be imposed on the Defendant.
The term of probation shall include the following mandatory and discretionary special conditions, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 3563(a) and (b): (i) The Defendant 







 
shall not commit another federal, state or local crime; (ii) the Defendant shall provide the probation officer with any information or documents requested by the probation officer;
(iii) the Defendant shall notify the Court of any material change in the Defendant’s economic circumstances that might affect the Defendant’s ability to pay the fines and other financial obligations set forth herein; and (iv) the
Defendant shall pay the criminal fine set forth in paragraph 35(a) above. 
 d. Court Not Bound. This Agreement is presented to the
Court pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(1)(C). The Defendant understands that, if the Court rejects this Agreement, the Court must: (a) inform the parties that the Court rejects the Agreement; (b) advise the Defendant’s counsel that
the Court is not required to follow the Agreement and afford the Defendant the opportunity to withdraw its plea; and (c) advise the Defendant that if the plea is not withdrawn, the Court may dispose of this case less favorably toward the
Defendant than the Agreement contemplated. If the Court rejects this Agreement pursuant to Fed. R. Crim. P. 11(c)(5), the United States and the Defendant agree that the Defendant will be allowed to withdraw its plea, and that neither the Defendant
nor the United States shall be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. If the Defendant withdraws its plea of guilty under the circumstances described in the immediately preceding sentence, this Agreement, the guilty plea, and any statement made
in the course of any proceeding under Fed. R. Crim. P. 11 regarding the guilty plea or this Agreement, or made in the course of plea discussions with an attorney for the United States, shall not be admissible against the Defendant in any criminal or
civil proceeding. The Defendant, however, also understands that if the Court accepts this Agreement, the Court is bound by the sentencing provisions in paragraphs 35(a), (b) and (c). 







 36. The parties further agree, with the permission of the Court, to waive the requirement of a
pre-sentence investigation report pursuant to Federal Rule of Criminal Procedure 32(c)(l)(A)(ii), based on a finding by the Court that the record contains information sufficient to enable the Court to meaningfully exercise its sentencing power. The
parties agree, however, that in the event the Court orders the preparation of a pre-sentence investigation report prior to sentencing, such order will not affect the Agreement set forth herein. In the event the Court so orders, the Department will
fully inform the preparer of the pre-sentence report and the Court of the facts and law related to the Defendant’s case. 
 37. The
parties further agree to ask the Court’s permission to combine the entry of the plea and sentencing into one proceeding, and to conduct the plea and sentencing hearings of the Defendant in one proceeding. The parties agree, however, that in the
event the Court orders that the entry of the guilty plea and sentencing hearing occur at separate proceedings, such an order will not affect the Agreement set forth herein. 

Breach of Agreement 

38. The Defendant agrees that if it breaches the terms of this Agreement, commits any federal crime subsequent to the date of this Agreement,
or has provided or provides deliberately false, incomplete, or misleading information in connection with this Agreement, the Department may, in its sole discretion, characterize such conduct as a breach of this Agreement. In the event of such a
breach, (a) the Department will be free from its obligations under the Agreement and may take whatever position it believes appropriate as to the sentence; (b) the Defendant will not have the right to withdraw the guilty plea; (c) the Defendant
shall be fully subject to criminal prosecution for any other crimes that it has committed, if any, including perjury and obstruction of justice; and (d) the Department will be free to use against the Defendant, directly and indirectly, in any
criminal or civil proceeding any of the information or materials provided by the Defendant and Alcoa pursuant to this Agreement, as well as the admitted Statement of Facts. 







 39. In the event of a breach of this Agreement by the Defendant, if the Department elects to
pursue criminal charges or any civil or administrative action that was not filed as a result of this Agreement, then: 
 a. The Defendant
agrees that any applicable statute of limitations is tolled between the date of the Defendant’s signing of this Agreement and the discovery by the Department of any breach by the Defendant, plus one year; and 

b. The Defendant gives up all defenses based on the statute of limitations relating to the facts and conduct described in the Statement of
Facts and the criminal information to be filed against the Defendant pursuant to this Agreement, any claim of pre-indictment delay, or any speedy trial claim with respect to any such prosecution or action, except to the extent that such defenses
existed as of the date of the signing of this Agreement. 







 Complete Agreement 

40. This document states the full extent of the agreement between the parties. There are no other promises or agreements, express or implied.
Any modification of this Agreement shall be valid only if set forth in writing in a supplemental or revised plea agreement signed by all parties.

 EXHIBIT 3 

STATEMENT OF FACTS 







 EXHIBIT 3 

STATEMENT OF FACTS 

The following Statement of Facts is incorporated by reference as part of the Plea Agreement (the “Agreement”) between the United
States Department of Justice, Criminal Division, Fraud Section (the “Department”) and the Defendant, ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC hereby agrees and stipulates that the following information, to the extent it relates to
its actions and the actions of its officers and employees, is true and accurate. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC does not admit to the conduct of any other entity or person, and references to such conduct are for background purposes only. ALCOA WORLD
ALUMINA LLC admits, accepts, and acknowledges that it is responsible for the acts of its officers or employees, as set forth below. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC further agrees that it will neither contest the admissibility of, nor contradict, this
Statement of Facts with respect to its actions or the actions of its officers or employees in any prosecution of it arising from a breach of the Agreement. 

If this matter were to proceed to trial, the Department has represented that it would prove beyond a reasonable doubt, by admissible evidence,
the facts alleged below, and that this evidence would establish the following: 
 Relevant Entities and Individuals 

The Defendant 
 1.
Defendant ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC was a Limited Liability Company formed under Delaware law which maintained its principal place of business in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the Western District of Pennsylvania. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC owned
and operated (either directly or indirectly) bauxite mining and alumina 

  
 1 








 
refining assets in North America, Europe, South America, Africa and the Caribbean. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC was a “domestic concern” within the meaning of the FCPA, Title 15, United
States Code, Section 78dd-2(a). 
 Relevant Alcoa Entities 

2. Alcoa Inc. (“Alcoa”) was a corporation organized under the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Until 2006,
Alcoa’s principal place of business was in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in the Western District of Pennsylvania. In 2006, Alcoa moved its principal place of business to New York, New York. Alcoa issued and maintained a class of publicly traded
securities registered pursuant to Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which were traded on the New York Stock Exchange. Alcoa was therefore an “issuer” within the meaning of the FCPA, Title 15, United States Code,
Section 78dd-l(a). 
 3. Alcoa was a global provider of primary aluminium and fabricated aluminium. Alcoa was also a global provider of
smelter grade alumina, the raw material that is supplied to smelters to produce aluminium. Alcoa refined alumina from bauxite it extracted from its global mining operations. Alcoa operated worldwide through subsidiaries and affiliated entities in
North America, Asia, Australia, Europe, South America, Africa and the Caribbean. 
 4. Alcoa World Alumina and Chemicals
(“AWAC”) was an unincorporated global bauxite mining and alumina refining enterprise formed in 1995 between Alcoa and Alumina Limited (“Alumina”), the majority and minority owners of AWAC, respectively. AWAC conducted its
operations by and through the coordinated activity of several affiliated enterprise companies, with each enterprise company being owned by Alcoa and Alumina in proportion to their respective ownership interests in the AWAC enterprise. In matters of
strategy and policy, the AWAC enterprise companies received direction and counsel from a “Strategic Council” that was chaired by Alcoa. AWAC was a “domestic concern” within the meaning of the FCPA, Title 15, United States Code,
Section 78dd-2(a). 

  
 2 








 5. Defendant ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC was an AWAC enterprise company. Beginning in or around 2000,
executives at ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC’s offices in Pittsburgh and Knoxville, Tennessee, assumed primary responsibility for all of AWAC’s relationships with global alumina customers, including Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (“Alba”), a
state-owned and state-controlled aluminium smelter in Bahrain. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC personnel responsible for these functions reported indirectly to Alcoa personnel in New York. 

6. Alcoa of Australia Limited (“Alcoa of Australia”) was the AWAC enterprise company that owned and operated AWAC’s
bauxite mining and alumina refining assets in Australia. Alcoa of Australia’s principal place of business was in Melbourne, Australia, until 1996, and was thereafter in Perth, Australia. Alcoa of Australia owned and operated mines in Western
Australia that extracted bauxite, which Alcoa of Australia then processed into smelter grade alumina in refineries it owned and operated. Alcoa of Australia sold the smelter grade alumina to aluminium smelters it owned in the state of Victoria,
Australia, as well as to customers and alumina traders around the world. 
 Relevant ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC Individual 

7. Executive A held a senior sales and marketing position at ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, starting in or around
2000, when he took over responsibility for the relationship with Alba. 

  
 3 








 The Intermediary and Related Entities 

8. Consultant A was an international middleman who resided in London and was a citizen of Canada, Jordan, and the United Kingdom.
Consultant A had close contacts with certain members of Bahrain’s Royal Family, some of whom were senior officials in the Government of Bahrain. Consultant A met with ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC executives in London, New York, and elsewhere to
discuss matters relating to the alumina supply relationship with Alba. 
 9. Alumet Limited (“Alumet”) was a shell entity
controlled by Consultant A and incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, with its purported places of business in Australia, Guernsey, and Switzerland. Alumet had no legitimate business operations and no history in the alumina business. Alumet
held bank accounts at the Royal Bank of Canada (“RBC”) in Switzerland and the Channel Islands. 
 10. AA Alumina and Chemicals
Ltd. (“AAAC”) was a shell entity controlled by Consultant A and incorporated in the British Virgin Islands, with its purported places of business in Australia, Guernsey, and Switzerland. AAAC had no legitimate business operations and
no history in the alumina business. AAAC held bank accounts at RBC in Switzerland and the Channel Islands. 
 11. Consultant A held an
account at RBC Guernsey in the name of United Legal Engineering Co. (“ULECO”), a shell entity, that contained funds from, among other sources, the purported sales of alumina to Alba by Alumet and AAAC on behalf of Alcoa of
Australia, as explained more fully in the paragraphs alleged below. Consultant A sometimes used a ULECO bank account to wire money directly or indirectly to accounts beneficially owned by officials of the Kingdom of Bahrain. 

  
 4 








 12. Consultant A also maintained a bank account at HSBC in Luxembourg under the name of another
shell company, La Fosca. Consultant A would wire money to Official C through that account from ULECO’s account at RBC Guernsey. 

Relevant Entities and Foreign Officials in Bahrain 

13. Aluminium Bahrain B.S.C. (“Alba”) was an aluminium smelter operating in Bahrain. The state holding company of the Kingdom of
Bahrain, the Mumtalakat, which was controlled by the Ministry of Finance, held 77 percent of the shares of Alba. The Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (“SABIC”), which was majority-owned and controlled by the government of the Kingdom of
Saudi Arabia, held a 20 percent minority stake in Alba, and three percent of Alba’s shares were held by a German investment group. The majority of profits earned by Alba belonged to the Mumtalakat, though part of the profit was permitted to be
used by Alba for its operations. The Ministry of Finance had to approve any change in Alba’s capital structure and had to be consulted on any major capital projects or contracts material to Alba’s operations. Members of the Royal Family of
Bahrain and representatives of the government sat on the Board of Directors of Alba, controlled its Board, and had primary authority in selecting its chief executive officer and chief financial officer. Accordingly, Alba was an “agency”
and “instrumentality” of the Government of Bahrain and Alba’s directors, officers and employees were “foreign officials” within the meaning of the FCPA, Title 15, United Sates Code, Section 78dd-2(h)(2)(A). 

14. Official A was a member of Bahrain’s Royal Family and served as a member of the board of directors of Alba from 1982 to 1997.
From 1988 to 1990, Official A was also a member of Alba’s tender committee, which was responsible in part for awarding major contracts to Alba’s suppliers, such as Alcoa entities supplying alumina to Alba. As an officer of Alba, Official A
was a “foreign official” within the meaning of the FCPA, Title 15, United States Code, Section 78dd-2(h)(2)(A). 

  
 5 








 15. Official B served on Alba’s board from at least 1986 to 2000 as a representative
of SABIC. From 1988 to 1990, Official B also served on Alba’s tender committee with Official A. As an officer of Alba, Official B was a “foreign official” within the meaning of the FCPA, Title 15, United States Code,
Section 78dd-2(h)(2)(A). 
 16. Official C was a senior member of Bahrain’s Royal Family, a senior government official of
Bahrain from at least 1995 to 2005, and served as a high-ranking officer of Alba from 1995 to 2005. As a high-ranking officer of Alba, Official C was extremely influential over the assignment of contracts to Alba’s suppliers. Official C relied
on Consultant A to assist him in opening international bank accounts using various aliases or shell entities for the purpose of receiving corrupt funds from kickbacks from Alba’s suppliers. As an officer of Alba and a senior government
official, Official C was a “foreign official” within the meaning of the FCPA, Title 15, United States Code, Section 78dd-2(h)(2)(A). 

THE CORRUPTION SCHEME IN BAHRAIN 

Background 
 17.
From 1989 to approximately 1996, Alcoa of Australia managed its long term supply relationship with Alba. As part of that relationship, Alcoa of Australia retained Consultant A to assist in long-term contract negotiations with Alba and Bahraini
government officials. By 2000, when ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC assumed direct oversight of the Alba relationship, Consultant A was playing a significant role in the relationship between Alcoa of Australia and Alba. Executive A, who inherited the Alba
oversight relationship as part of his duties at ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, became the primary liaison with Consultant A regarding the Alba relationship. 

  
 6 








 Overview 

18. In or around 2002, ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, through Executive A, caused Alcoa of Australia to enter into a purported distributorship for
the sale of approximately one million tons of alumina annually to Alba through Consultant A’s shell companies, Alumet and AAAC. 
 19.
In or around 2004, ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, through Executive A, coordinated another purported distribution agreement that involved the sale of up to 1.78 million tons of alumina to Alba every year through Alumet and AAAC. This corrupt
arrangement lasted through on or about December 31, 2009. 
 20. As part of the 2002 and 2004 purported distributorship agreements,
Consultant A imposed a mark-up on Alumet’s and AAAC’s purported sales of alumina to Alba and used the mark-up from those sales to enrich himself and pay bribes to senior government officials of Bahrain. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, through
Executive A, consciously disregarded the fact that Consultant A would pay bribes to senior government officials from the mark-up on alumina sales to Alba. 

I. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, through Executive A, Enlarged 

Consultant A’s Role in the Alumina Supply Relationship 

21. By 2000, Executive A, who was then based in ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC’s offices in Pittsburgh, had assumed direct responsibility for
managing the Alba relationship. 

  
 7 








 22. From April to December 2001, Executive A took a series of steps to cause Alumet and AAAC to
become Alcoa of Australia’s purported distributors for all of its sales of alumina to Alba. 
 23. On or about April 12, 2001,
Executive A wrote to Official C to advise him that “Alcoa wishes” to extend the “present supply contract [with Alba] for three years to December 31, 2004.” 

24. On or around August 15, 2001, after receiving a request from Alba to continue the existing supply arrangements through December 2003,
Executive A facilitated Alba’s entering into an extension of the existing alumina supply arrangement through December 2003. 
 25. On
or about February 14, 2002, Executive A caused Alcoa of Australia to enter into a purported distribution agreement with Alumet and AAAC for the supply of approximately one million tons of alumina intended for sale to Alba. 

26. Executive A knew that Alcoa of Australia would continue to ship alumina directly to Alba. Executive A consciously disregarded the fact
that the purported contractual arrangement he crafted with Consultant A would permit Alumet and/or AAAC to mark-up sales to Alba of alumina from Alcoa of Australia. In or around February 2002, Alcoa of Australia ceased to invoice Alba directly for
shipments of alumina. 
 The Mark-Up and Commission Payments From 2002 Through 2004 

27. From 2002 to 2004, Executive A, acting on behalf of ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, caused AAAC to receive in excess of $79 million in mark-ups
on alumina sales to Alba. 
 28. AAAC also received a commission under the terms of the 2002 distribution agreement. The purported 2002
distribution agreement provided for a commission of 0.125% of all payments made by AAAC to Alcoa of Australia for alumina. From 2002 to 2004, Alcoa of Australia paid AAAC a commission of $493,509. 

  
 8 








 Consultant A Channeled Corrupt Payments to Government Officials 

From 2002 through 2004 

29. From 2002 through 2004, Consultant A made corrupt payments to Officials B and C from bank accounts at RBC in Guernsey held in the name of
Alumet and ULECO. 
 II. Executive A Retained Consultant A For 

Joint Venture Negotiations between Alcoa and Alba 

30. In 2002, Alcoa was attempting to negotiate a joint venture with Alba, in which Alcoa would supply Alba with alumina from the AWAC
system’s smelters, and, in exchange, Alba would supply Alcoa with aluminium. Executive A participated in the negotiations for Alcoa and retained Consultant A to privately lobby Official C on behalf of Alcoa’s position. On or about
April 27, 2002, Executive A caused Alcoa to enter a consulting agreement with Consultant A pursuant to which Consultant A would receive an $8 million “success fee” based on limited specified negotiation “advice and assistance to
Alcoa” if the joint venture were successful. 
 31. As part of the negotiations, Executive A proposed a joint venture structure that
contemplated supplying alumina to Alba through a distributor. 
 32. On or about March 26, 2003, an in-house attorney in Alcoa’s legal
department sent an email asking Executive A to explain the role of the distributor. On or about March 27, 2003, Executive A responded that “[t]he Distributorship rol[e] is something the Bahrain Government wants” and that Alcoa
“shouldn’t get too involved with how the Distributor and the Government interact. We are currently selling the alumna we supply to Alba through a Distributor.” In response, the in-house attorney wrote that “we will need to
understand the Distributor’s role completely ... for Foreign Corrupt Practice Act purposes.” 

  
 9 








 33. On September 15, 2003, Alcoa and Alba agreed to a Memorandum of Understanding
(“MOU”) outlining an equity investment by Alcoa in Alba and providing for alumina to be sold to the Government of Bahrain, as majority shareholder of Alba, “directly or through an associated company of Alcoa satisfactory to GoB
[Government of Bahrain] and Alcoa.” The MOU was approved by Official C on behalf of Alba. However, the joint venture negotiations fell through, and Consultant A was never paid the $8 million success fee. 

34. Within 17 days of the signing of the MOU, Consultant A transferred $2 million to Official C’s account at Deutsche Bank in Geneva,
Switzerland, from a ULECO bank account at RBC in Guernsey. 
 III. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, Through Executive A, Caused Alcoa of
Australia 
 to Secure a 2005 Long-Term Alumina Supply Deal with Alba 

35. By the summer of 2004, Alcoa of Australia was supplying approximately one million metric tons of alumina annually to Alba, but was
invoicing Alba indirectly through Consultant A’s companies. Alba’s obligations under pre-existing supply arrangements with Alcoa of Australia were set to expire at the end of 2004. 

36. In the summer of 2004, Executive A and one of his supervisors, another senior member of ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC’s global alumina
sales department, sought to secure a new long term alumina supply agreement with Alba. On or around August 5, 2004, Executive A and his supervisor were advised by a former senior Alcoa executive who had a relationship with Consultant A that if
they attempted to negotiate a direct contractual relationship between Alcoa of Australia and Alba, rather than negotiate a supply arrangement through Consultant A and one of his companies, some or all of Alba’s business could be lost to another
alumina supplier.

 37. On or about August 19, 2004, Executive A and his supervisor met with Consultant A at
Consultant A’s London Office to discuss using Consultant A’s companies “as Alcoa’s exclusive distributor in the region.” 

38. On or about August 22, 2004, Executive A sent an email to his supervisor documenting with more specificity certain items that were
discussed at the meeting. Among them, Executive A noted that “[w]e agreed to supply [Consultant A] with pricing indications for supply to [AAAC] by 8/24 so he can have these for his meeting [in Bahrain] with [Official C]. We mentioned pricing
close to 14%.” Executive A’s email also noted that “[Official C] is holding on to publishing [Alba’s] alumina tender [to the market] until he has further discussions with [Consultant A] on 8/29.” The pricing terms per metric
ton of alumina that Executive A quoted to Consultant A at the meeting in London were less than the pricing terms for Alba that Executive A had quoted to Official C approximately one month earlier. 

39. On or around September 29, 2004, Executive A facilitated AAAC’s tendering a bid to supply Alba up to 1.6 million tons of
alumina for ten years commencing in 2005. 
 40. On or about October 8, 2004, Attorney 1, the in-house attorney responsible for
supporting the alumina business, suggested terminating the consulting agreement that Alcoa had entered with Consultant A, as “the terms of [Consultant A’s] current engagement created a lot of anxiety in the organization.” Executive A
advised that the consultancy agreement should not be terminated until Alcoa had secured a new long-term alumina supply agreement with Alba. 

41. On or about November 1, Official C caused Alba to accept AAAC’s tender offer for a ten-year supply of alumina. 

  
 11 








 42. On or about December 31, 2004, Executive A caused Alcoa of Australia to enter a
purported ten-year distributorship agreement with Alumet and AAAC to purportedly supply them with up to 1.78 million tons of alumina for sale to Alba from 2005 to 2014. From 2005 to 2009, the price term was 13.9% of LME minus $0.25 per ton of
alumina. From 2010 to 2014, the price decreased to 13.5% of LME minus $0.25 per ton of alumina. Executive A consciously disregarded the fact that Alcoa of Australia would continue to supply alumina directly to Alba that was purportedly being
“distributed” through Alumet and AAAC. 
 43. On or about March 4, 2005, a representative of Consultant A sent the CEO of
Alba a final, unexecuted contract for the purported supply agreement between AAAC and Alba. 
 44. On or about June 8, 2005, the final
agreement negotiated between AAAC and Alba was signed by Alba’s CEO on behalf of Alba. The agreement’s effective date was January 1, 2005, and its term was through December 31, 2014. The agreement provided that AAAC would supply Alba
with 1.508 million metric tons of alumina in 2005, and 1.6 million metric tons of alumina thereafter for each remaining contract year. From 2005 to 2009, the price formula in the agreement resulted in an average price to Alba of 14.98% of
LME per metric ton of alumina. From 2010 through 2014, the price formula in the agreement resulted in an average price to Alba of 14.42 % of LME per metric ton of alumina. Alba was required to bear the cost of shipping and insurance. 

Consultant A’s Mark-up on Alumina Sales From 2005 to 2009 

45. As a result of ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC’s conduct, through Executive A, from 2005 through 2009, Alumet and AAAC received in excess of
$188 million on the mark-up of alumina sales to Alba. This money was transferred from the initial accounts in which payment from Alba was received through various bank accounts controlled by Consultant A, including accounts in the name of shell
entities Alumet and ULECO at RBC in Guernsey. 

  
 12 








 Additional Corrupt Payments to Official C 

46. From 2005 through 2006, Consultant A made millions in corrupt payments from the account of ULECO at RBC in Guernsey through the account of
La Fosca in Luxembourg to accounts that were beneficially owned by Official C under client code names at ABN AMRO Bank in Luxembourg and LGT Bank in Liechtenstein. 

47. Under these circumstances, ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, through Executive A, consciously disregarded the fact that the mark-up imposed by
Consultant A on Alumet and AAAC’s sales of alumina to Alba was facilitating corrupt payments to government officials who controlled Alba’s tender process. 

IV. ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC Caused Alcoa to Extend Materially 

Significant Lines of Credit to Consultant A 

48. Consultant A sought a line of credit from Alcoa to cover the cost of alumina shipments to Alba until Alba remitted payment to Alumet and
AAAC. Consultant A, however, refused to provide financial statements for Alumet or AAAC to Alcoa’s credit department, which was normally required for a significant extension of credit to a third-party. Notwithstanding this, in or around
December 2004, ALCOA WORLD ALUMINA LLC, through Executive A, sought and received approval to extend credit to Consultant A’s companies and thereby caused Alcoa’s credit department to extend a $23 million line of credit to Alumet and AAAC.

 49. Thereafter, in each of contract years 2005 through 2009, Alcoa continued to grant business unit overrides to extend materially
increasing credit lines to Consultant A’s purported distributorships. By 2007, Alcoa was extending a credit line of $58 million to Alumet and AAAC. During this period, Alcoa granted Alumet and AAAC credit lines that were significantly greater
than those granted by Alcoa to any other third-party. 

  
 13 








 50. By facilitating the extension of credit to Consultant A, Executive A enabled the purported
distributorship scheme by allowing Consultant A to defer paying Alcoa of Australia for the multi-million dollar shipments of alumina to Alba until Alumet and AAAC received payment from Alba.
