PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) allows Alcoa to “incorporate by reference” in the Registration Statements the information in the documents that it files with the SEC, which means that Alcoa can disclose important information to you by referring you to those documents. The information incorporated by reference in the Registration Statements is considered to be a part of the Registration Statements, and information in documents that Alcoa files later with the SEC will automatically update and supersede information contained in documents filed earlier with the SEC or contained in the Registration Statements. Alcoa incorporates by reference in the Registration Statements the documents listed below and any future filings that it may make with the SEC under Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) after the date of this Amendment and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statements which indicates that all securities offered thereby have been sold or which deregisters all securities then remaining unsold, except that Alcoa is not incorporating by reference any information that is deemed to have been furnished and not filed in accordance with SEC rules.

 

    Alcoa’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 (the “Annual Report”);

 

    Alcoa’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q filed since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report;

 

    Alcoa’s Current Reports on Form 8-K filed since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Annual Report; and

 

    The description of Common Stock contained in Alcoa’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-197371), filed July 11, 2014, as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form S-3/A on July 25, 2014.

Alcoa will furnish without charge to you, upon written or oral request, a copy of any or all of the documents described above, except for exhibits to those documents, unless the exhibits are specifically incorporated by reference into those documents. Requests for copies should be addressed to:

Alcoa Inc.

Attention: Investor Relations

Telephone: (212) 836-2674

Item 4. Description of Securities.

Not Applicable.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

The validity of the Common Stock to be issued in connection with the Plans will be passed upon by Thomas F. Seligson, Esq., Counsel of Alcoa. Mr. Seligson is paid a salary by Alcoa, is a participant in various benefit plans offered by Alcoa to employees of Alcoa generally and beneficially owns, or has rights to acquire, an aggregate of less than 1% of Alcoa’s outstanding Common Stock.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Alcoa has purchased a directors and officers liability insurance policy with an aggregate limit of $500 million for liability of directors and officers. The insurance also includes within that limit $250 million of coverage, subject to a deductible, for reimbursement to Alcoa for indemnification provided to directors and officers. The policy has an expiration date of October 1, 2016 and provides liability insurance and reimbursement coverage for Alcoa, and its directors and officers that is permitted by the laws of Pennsylvania.

Article V of the By-Laws of Alcoa provides that Alcoa shall indemnify, under specified circumstances, where not prohibited by law, persons who were or are directors, officers or employees of Alcoa or who served or serve other business entities at the request of Alcoa. Under these By-Law provisions, a person who is wholly successful in defending a claim will be indemnified for any reasonable expenses. To the extent a person is not successful in defending a claim, reasonable expenses of the defense and any liability incurred are to be indemnified under these provisions only where independent legal counsel or another disinterested person selected by the board of directors determines that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Alcoa, and in addition with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. Any expense incurred with respect to any claim may be advanced by Alcoa if the recipient agrees to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such recipient is not to be indemnified pursuant to Article V.

The foregoing By-Law provisions generally parallel Sections 1741 and 1745 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (“PBCL”). Section 1746 and the By-Laws both also provide that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.

Section 1746 of the PBCL and the By-Laws provide for increased indemnification protections for directors, officers and others. Indemnification may be provided by Pennsylvania corporations in any case except where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

Section 1713 of the PBCL also sets forth a framework whereby Pennsylvania corporations, with the approval of the shareholders, may limit the personal liability of directors for monetary damages except where the act or omission giving rise to a claim constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. The section does not apply to a director’s responsibility or liability under a criminal or tax statute and may not apply to liability under Federal statutes, such as the Federal securities laws.

Alcoa’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws were amended by the shareholders to implement the increased protections made available to directors under the PBCL as described in the preceding paragraph. Article VIII of the By-Laws provides that, except as prohibited by law, every director of Alcoa shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by Alcoa for expenses and any and all liability paid or incurred by such person by reason of such person being or having been a director of Alcoa. Expenses incurred with respect to any claim may be advanced by Alcoa, subject to certain exceptions. The shareholders have also approved a form of indemnity agreement. Alcoa has entered into such an indemnity agreement with each of its current directors and officers.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN FOR HOURLY EMPLOYEES OF ALCOA USA CORP.

EFFECTIVE AUGUST 1, 2016

Alcoa USA Corp. (herein called “Alcoa”) established the Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees of Alcoa USA Corp. (the “Hourly Plan” or “Plan”) for the exclusive benefit of its eligible employees who are paid on an hourly basis, including both collectively bargained and non-bargained employee populations. The Plan is a defined contribution, individual account 401(k) plan intended to qualify under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code. The purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement benefits, and to enable Participants to acquire a stock interest in the Company’s parent corporation.

Effective August 1, 2016, in anticipation of its separation into two separate publicly-traded companies, Alcoa Inc. spun off certain assets and liabilities from the Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan for Bargaining Employees (now referred to as the Arconic Bargaining Retirement Savings Plan), Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees (now referred to as the Arconic Salaried Retirement Savings Plan) and the Alcoa Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Non-Bargaining Employees (now referred to as the Arconic Non-Bargaining Retirement Savings Plan) (collectively referred to as the “Predecessor Plans”) to form this Plan. This Plan is intended as a continuation of the Predecessor Plans for the Participants covered by this Plan and recognizes elections and Retirements under the Predecessor Plans. No person is entitled to a benefit under both this Plan and either of the Predecessor Plans. References in this Plan to dates and actions prior to August 1, 2016, refer to the applicable Predecessor Plan.

The Alcoa Stock Fund is an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), within the meaning of Section 4975(e) of the Code, and is intended to comply with all applicable provisions. The assets held in the ESOP must be invested primarily in employer securities as defined in Code Section 409(l).

The Plan is intended to be construed in accordance with any regulatory guidance issued with respect to applicable laws and regulations.

(b) Direct Rollovers.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this subsection, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, and to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

(ii) Definitions:

(1) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution means any distribution to an employee of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the employee in the Plan, and as otherwise described in this subsection (1). An eligible rollover distribution does not include any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee’s designated beneficiary, or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and any amount distributed on account of hardship.

(2) Eligible retirement plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity described in Sections 408(a) and 408(b) of the Code, a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution, an annuity plan or contract described in Sections 403(a) and 403(b) of the Code, or an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code that is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state that agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this Plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan will also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse of a Participant, or spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. With respect to an eligible rollover distribution to a Participant’s nonspouse Beneficiary, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or annuity described in Sections 408(a) and 408(b) of the Code established for the purpose of receiving such distribution, and identifying the deceased Participant and Beneficiary.

(3) Distributee: A distributee includes an employee or former employee. In addition, the employee’s or former employee’s surviving spouse and the employee’s or former employee’s spouse or former spouse who is an alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the spouse or former spouse.

The value of any delisted stock that is no longer publicly traded but that is held in the Participant’s Brokerage Account shall not be considered for purposes of the preceding valuation. Any such delisted stock shall be distributed in-kind where the value of the Participant’s vested account balances (not including Rollover Contributions) in all qualified defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates is less than five thousand dollars ($5,000), in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Benefits Management Committee. Upon such distribution of de-listed stock, the amounts distributed will be reported for income tax purposes using reasonable methods available at such time and determined by the Plan.

(ii) If the Current Market Value of all of the Participant’s vested account balances in all defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000), the distribution is made upon the consent of the Participant, or surviving spouse if applicable, and if no consent is given and no claim for benefits has been made, such distribution is made in total upon his or her attainment of age 69.

With respect to any shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock which are to be sold for the account of the recipient, the Trustee may, at its option (1) purchase such shares for Plan purposes at the Current Market Value on the Effective Date of distribution, or (2) sell such shares on the open market for the account of the recipient.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section, distribution of a Participant’s account balances commences at the later of retirement or the April 1 next following the calendar year in which the Participant attains age 70-1/2 years in accordance with Section 12(b) (or, for Participants transferred to this Plan from the Predecessor Plan who were already receiving distributions from the Predecessor Plan after reaching their required distribution dates, April 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the Participant attained age 70-1/2).

At the time of withdrawal by a Participant or Beneficiary, he or she will receive shares or cash. There is no guarantee that the Current Market Value of any investment will be equal to or greater than the amount of the Participant’s Savings therein. This Plan is designed to comply with and operate under Section 404(c) of ERISA. A Participant and his or her Beneficiaries assume all risk in connection with any decrease in the value of any investments allocated to such Participant’s account. For purposes of Section 404(c)(1) of ERISA, in the absence of Participant of Beneficiary investment direction, a Participant or Beneficiary shall be treated as having exercised control over the assets invested in any investment which qualifies as a QDIA in accordance with Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Plan does not and should not be construed as conferring any rights upon any person for a continuation of employment, nor does it interfere with the rights of Alcoa or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any person or to take any personnel action affecting such person without regard to the effect which such action might have upon such person or his or her Beneficiaries as a prospective recipient of benefits under the Plan.

(b) Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Internal Revenue Code.

The duties of each Trustee and manager, to the extent not set forth in the Plan, are set forth in a trust agreement or other written documents approved by the Board or its designee. Except as otherwise provided in such documents or in the Plan, each such investment manager has sole investment control and management responsibility with respect to those assets of the Plan for which it is designated the investment manager. The Board may delegate its authority to appoint an investment manager, to remove an investment manager, to approve and direct the execution by the proper officer or officers of Alcoa of amendments to agreements with any investment manager, and to review the performance of any such managers. Such delegation also includes the authority to approve written documents setting forth the duties of any manager and to direct the execution of investment management agreements by the proper officer or officers of Alcoa. No Trustee has any investment responsibility for any assets which are subject to the investment control of another investment manager, and as to such assets it only has custodial duties if it is the custodian.

(c) Designation of Investment Strategy. The Board or its designee (including but not limited to the Benefits Management Committee) may from time to time designate, as to part or all of the assets of the Plan, that a separate fund or funds be established. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as to each such separate fund the Board or its designee may specify the investment strategy to be employed and the investment manager is thereupon relieved of responsibility for assuring that the specified investment strategy creates suitable diversification of the overall assets of the Plan, provided that such investment manager has followed such specifications.

(d) (1) Acquisition of Fixed Income Investments by the Trustee. The Trustee will enter into investment arrangements with insurance companies, banks or money managers, as directed by an investment manager duly appointed by the Board or its designee for the Fixed Income Fund. The Trustee will invest all Savings and other amounts to be invested in the Fixed Income Fund in accordance with such directions.

(2) Accounting for Participant’s Accounts. Participants’ investments in the Fixed Income Fund are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in the Fixed Income Fund as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participant’s accounts to be invested therein. Such allocations will be made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective Date of the transfer or withdrawal.

(e) (1) Acquisition of Alcoa Inc. Stock by Trustee. The Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, Negotiated Deferral Contributions, Discretionary Contributions, Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions to be invested in the Alcoa Stock Fund are used by the Trustee to purchase from time to time shares of Alcoa Inc.

The Trustee, to the extent reasonable, invests any cash held in the fund in cash equivalents (including commercial paper). The Trustee also holds for the purpose of allocation to the accounts of individual Participants as hereinafter provided (i) shares of such stock which the Trustee has acquired upon withdrawal by a Participant, and (ii) shares of such stock which the Trustee has acquired pursuant to Participants’ elections to transfer investments under the provisions of Section 9. All shares of such stock purchased by the Trustee are carried in the accounts of the Trustee at the actual cost thereof, including any taxes, commissions, etc. which are not paid by the Participating Employer, incident to the purchase except that shares acquired upon the exercise of warrants or rights are carried at the Current Market Value of such shares on the date of such exercise.

(2) Allocation of Stock to Participants’ Accounts. Participants’ investments in the Alcoa Stock Fund are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in the Alcoa Stock Fund as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participants’ accounts to be invested therein.

Once received, dividends are invested in the Alcoa Stock Fund. A Participant may elect to receive an annual distribution of the dividends posted to their account during the Plan Year. Such election must be made prior to the last dividend record date in the Plan Year, and distribution will be made as soon as administratively practical following the date the final dividends are posted to the Participant’s account. Distribution will be paid in a lump sum from the Alcoa Stock Fund. To the extent the Participant’s account balance in the Alcoa Stock Fund is insufficient to pay the dividends, the balance of the distribution will be paid pro-rata from the Participant’s other Core Fund investments.

(4) Warrants & Purchase Rights. A Participant has no right of request, direction or demand upon the Trustee to exercise in his or her behalf warrants or rights to purchase shares of common stock or other securities of Alcoa, except as otherwise determined by the board of directors of Alcoa Inc.

Stock appertaining to shares of such stock held by the Trustee, and may sell any warrants or rights to purchase other securities of Alcoa appertaining to shares of such stock held by the Trustee.

(5) Stock Splits & Dividends. Shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock received by the Trustee by reason of a stock split or stock dividend become part of the Alcoa Stock Fund.

(f) (1) Acquisition of Other Investments by Trustee. Alcoa has and in the future will enter into investment arrangements with various investment managers. Any such arrangements must be approved by the Benefits Management Committee. Expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by the investment manager are paid from the applicable Investment Fund.

(2) Accounting for Participant’s Accounts. Participants’ investments in the Core Funds are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in each of the Core Funds as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participant’s accounts to be invested therein. Such allocations will be made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective Date of the transfer or withdrawal.

(g) Transition Provision. Pending investment under an arrangement established pursuant to this Section, and pending distribution to Participants following withdrawal from such an arrangement, cash is invested by the Trustee in short-term fixed income securities or cash equivalents (including commercial paper) and the value of such securities or cash equivalents is allocated to the accounts of Participants in an equitable manner determined by the Benefits Management Committee.

(h) Brokerage Account. Participant’s have the right to invest and personally manage investments outside of the Core Funds by investing through the Brokerage Account offered by a broker selected by the Plan (“Broker”). Investment options through the Brokerage Account are mutual funds (other than those already available as Core Funds), any taxable equity or fixed income security publicly traded in a U.S. security market (including American Depository Receipts), and money market funds. Pre-Tax Savings, After-Tax Savings, Rollover Contributions, Participating Employer Contributions, Negotiated Deferral Contributions, Discretionary Contributions, Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions that are subject to transfer as provided in Section 9, may not be directly invested in the Brokerage Account, nor may withdrawals, distributions or loans be made directly from the Brokerage Account. Such transactions must be processed through the Core Funds.

(1) Restrictions of Trading in the Brokerage Account. Certain restrictions apply to investment vehicles that may be available through the Brokerage Account: Specifically, the following investments are not available through the Brokerage Account: Alcoa Inc. Stock (common or preferred) and bonds; funds currently available in the Core Funds; tax-free funds; securities of publicly traded limited partnerships; options contracts; purchase on short sales, futures, precious metals, and currencies; real estate (other than funds); annuities; life insurance policies; collectibles; commodities; foreign stocks (not American Depository Receipt); and margin trading and trade-away trades that are placed by another broker and settle with the Broker.

(2) Trading within the Brokerage Account. Investment purchases in the Brokerage Account may be made after such amounts are transferred from the Participant’s Core Fund accounts. Transfers from Core Funds may be made as provided in Section 9. Transferred funds will be held in the Broker’s money market fund until the Participant’s buy orders are received by the Broker. Trades may be subject to initial and subsequent investment minimums required by a mutual fund.

Transfers are made out of the Brokerage Account and into the Core Funds from the Schwab money market fund. If there are insufficient funds to make the requested transfer, the participant must submit a sell order with Schwab. The proceeds of securities sold will be invested automatically in the Broker’s money market fund and will be subsequently transferred out of the Brokerage Account to the Core Funds as directed by the Participant.

(3) Expenses Incurred by Trading and Voting. The Broker’s standard commission schedule will be deducted from the Brokerage Account of the Participant who initiates the trades, and any other fees and expenses incurred through the Brokerage Account will be paid directly by the Participant.

The Broker will execute proxies for any securities held in the Brokerage Account in accordance with written directions of any Participant.

(b) Sale of Assets, etc. In the event any assets of any business of any Participating Employer are transferred to another entity by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise, and the entity to which said assets are transferred has in effect, or thereupon establishes, a tax-qualified plan and related trust for the exclusive benefit of employees which qualify under the applicable provisions of the Code, all assets under the Plan, held in

37


the accounts of Participants who continue in the employment of the transferee entity, may be transferred and paid, for their respective accounts, to the trust for the tax-qualified plan of said transferee entity, provided that any such transfer of investments will be effected in such manner as to preclude, for federal income tax purposes, a termination of the Plan or the constructive receipt of benefits thereunder with respect to said Participants.

(c) Transfer of Plan Assets.

(1) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or a transfer of any of the assets and liabilities of the Plan to, any other plan, each affected Participant must (as if such plan were terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer) be entitled to a benefit under such other plan which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive under the Plan immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer (as if the Plan had then terminated). In the event that assets are transferred to this Plan from any other plan sponsored by Alcoa or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, each Participant who has assets transferred from such plan or plans will be entitled to a benefit under this Plan which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she had under such other plan.

Investments in the Core Funds will be subject to an administrative expense fee, which will be used to pay the expenses of the Plan. Initially the fee will be set at five basis points per year, and will be charged on a daily basis. The fee will be periodically adjusted by the Plan Administrator based on the actual expenses of the Plan.

 

SECTION 22. SELECTION OF BENEFICIARIES

(a) Designation of Beneficiary. Subject to such administrative procedures as may be adopted from time to time, the Beneficiary with respect to all of the assets in the accounts of a Participant will be the Participant’s spouse if then living, or if not, the Participant’s estate. With the written notarized consent of a Participant’s spouse, a Participant may file with the Plan Administrator or its Designee a written designation of a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries other than his or her spouse. In the event the designation of such other Beneficiary is revoked in writing by the Participant, his or her spouse will become the Beneficiary of said assets until such time as the Participant, with his or her spouse’s written notarized consent, designates in writing another Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. Beneficiaries named under the Predecessor Plan shall be recognized for purposes of this Plan.

In the event a Participant certifies that he or she does not have a spouse, a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries with respect to all or part of the assets in the accounts of the Participant may be designated or revoked by the sole action of the Participant.

If there is no designated Beneficiary, or if no Beneficiary is living at the time of the Participant’s death, the Beneficiary is the Participant’s spouse if then living, or if not, the Participant’s estate.

Written designations of a primary Beneficiary or a, contingent Beneficiary to receive the assets of a Participant in the case where the primary Beneficiary is deceased, spousal consents, and revocations are made on a form or forms approved by the Plan Administrator. Any such written designation, consent or revocation become effective on the calendar day on which such designation, consent or revocation is Properly Received. After the death of a Participant, a properly designated Beneficiary may name his or her own Beneficiary to receive a distribution of the Beneficiary’s account balances when the Beneficiary is deceased (“Subsequent Beneficiary”). A Subsequent Beneficiary shall receive a total distribution of the Subsequent Beneficiary’s account balance within the greater of: (i) ninety (90) days after death of the Beneficiary who named such Beneficiary or (ii) five (5) years of the Participant’s death.

(b) Other Payments. In case of incapacity of a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to a benefit under the Plan, benefit payment are made to such person’s legal representative who makes claim therefore, or if no such claim has been received, to such other person or persons as the Benefits Management Committee, utilizing objective criteria, selects from among dependents, next of kin, or friends. Any payment of a benefit under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of this Section is a complete discharge of any liability for the payment of such benefit under the Plan.

Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans will be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Section 401(k) of the Code.

(b) In the event the Plan does not pass the ADP test, the test will be disaggregated by removing from the test all participants who have not attained age 21 and completed one eligibility year within 6 months of the last day of the plan year.

(c) All ESOP portions of the Savings Plan shall be aggregated for ADP with the Non-ESOP portions of the Savings Plan.

7. Treatment of Qualified Matching Contributions. If any Qualified Matching Contributions are made on behalf of Eligible Employees for a Plan Year, Alcoa may elect, in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Treasury under Section 401(k) of the Code, to treat all or a portion of such Qualified Matching Contributions as Pre-Tax Savings for purposes of calculating the Actual Deferral Percentages of Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Any such Qualified Matching Contributions for a Plan Year must be made no later than the end of the 12 month period immediately following the close of the Plan Year.

8. Correction of Excess Contributions.

(a) General Rule. If the Plan does not satisfy one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix as of the end of a Plan Year, the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year will be corrected if the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year are timely recharacterized as employee After-Tax Savings contributions in accordance with subsection (c) below or timely distributed to Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with subsection (d) below.

(b) Allocation of Excess Contributions. In the event the nondiscrimination requirements of paragraph 5 of this Appendix are not satisfied for a Plan Year, the “deferral percentage leveling method” described in the preceding paragraph is performed as a first step in order to determine the total dollar amount of Excess Contribution to be distributed: a calculation is made to determine the dollar amount of Elective Deferrals necessary to reduce the deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest deferral percentage to be equal to the deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest deferral percentage, and where necessary, calculations are made to determine the dollar amounts of reductions of the deferral percentage of subsequent Highly Compensated Employees that may be required in order to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements in paragraph 5 of this Appendix. The total dollar amount of Excess Contribution that must be distributed for the Plan Year is the sum of the dollar amounts so calculated for each Highly Compensated Employee whose deferral percentage is so reduced.

Distribution of the total amount of Excess Contribution determined in the paragraph above is made using the “dollar leveling method.” Excess Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of contributions for the Plan Year shall be distributed to the extent necessary to cause that Highly Compensated Employee’s dollar amount of Excess Contributions to equal the dollar amount of Excess Contributions of the Highest Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Excess Contributions for the Plan Year. If the total amount distributed is less than the amount of total Excess Contribution, then both Highly Compensated Employees’ amounts are reduced to the same dollar level of the Highly Compensated Employee electing the third highest dollar amount and the dollar leveling process is repeated until the total dollar amount that should be reduced as calculated in the above paragraph is distributed. However, if reduction of a lesser amount of contributions would equal the total dollar amount of Excess Contributions that must be distributed for the Plan Year, the lesser amount is distributed.

A participant who has had his contributions reduced in accordance with this subparagraph shall have the amount of such reduction paid to him in cash as soon as practicable, subject to applicable payroll taxes. The amount of the Excess Contributions to be distributed shall be reduced by excess deferrals under 402(g) previously distributed for the Plan Year. The distributions of Excess Contributions shall include the income allocable thereto, including both the income allocable for the Plan Year for which the Contributions were made and the income for the period between the end of that Plan Year and the date as of which the distribution is made. The distribution of Excess Contributions shall include the income or loss allocable only for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions, and will not include the income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date distribution is made. In addition, any Company Matching Contributions associated with the Excess Contribution shall be treated as forfeiture and used to reduce the Employer’s contribution under Section 3 of the Plan.

(c) Recharacterization of Excess Contributions. Any recharacterization of Excess Contributions as employee After-Tax Savings will be accomplished by the Plan Administrator in the manner provided in subsection (b) above within 2 12 months after the close of the Plan Year, providing such notices and following such procedures as required by regulations of the Secretary of Treasury, and will be deemed to occur no earlier than the date on which the last Highly Compensated Employee is informed in writing of the amount of his or her recharacterized Excess Contributions and the consequences thereof. Any Excess Contributions that are recharacterized as employee after-tax contributions for a Plan Year will, in combination with other Participating Employer Contributions to the Plan for the Plan Year, satisfy the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the Plan Year. Any recharacterized Excess Contributions remain nonforfeitable under the Plan and are subject to the same distribution requirements as Pre-Tax Savings. Recharacterized Excess Contributions are taxable to the Highly Compensated Employee for the year in which the Highly Compensated Employee could have originally elected to receive the Excess Contributions amount in cash.

(d) Distribution of Excess Contributions. If any Excess Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year are not corrected by recharacterization under (c) above, then such Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, will be distributed to Highly Compensated Employees no later than 12 months following the close of the Plan Year.

(e) Income or Loss Allocable to Excess Contributions. The income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions referred to in subsection (d) above include the allocable income or loss for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions and the allocable income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of the Excess Contributions, calculated as follows:

The income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocable to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings and amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the total account balance attributable to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings and amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix as of the end of the Plan Year, reduced by the investment gain (or increased by the investment loss) allocated to such total amount for the Plan Year.

 

Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees of Alcoa USA Corp.

The income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions referred to in subsection (d) above will include only the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions, and not the income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of Excess Contributions.

(f) Coordination with Excess Pre-Tax Savings. The amount of any Excess Contributions to be recharacterized under subsection (c) above or distributed under subsection (d) above with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is reduced by any excess Pre-Tax Savings previously distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee for the employee’s taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year.

(g) Accounting for Excess Contributions. The amount of Excess Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year that is recharacterized under subsection (c) above or distributed under subsection (d) above is attributed first to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year and then, to the extent such Excess Contributions exceed the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year, attributed to amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 4 of this Appendix in proportion to the amounts of such contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year.

9. Average Contribution Percentage Tests. For each Plan Year for which Participating Employer Contributions are made to the Plan (other than Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) or any After-Tax Savings are made to the Plan (including any Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax Savings for the Plan Year under paragraph 8(c) of this Appendix), both the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan will satisfy one of the following Average Contribution Percentage tests for the Plan Year (or will collectively satisfy, if aggregated):

(a) the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(b) the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two, provided that the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year does not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points.

(c) the Average Contribution Percentage Test applies separately to the ESOP portion of the Plan (unless aggregated with the non-ESOP portion).

10. Special Rules.

(a) Aggregation of Plans. In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a) (4), 401(m) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then the provisions stated herein will be applied by determining the Contribution Percentages of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated to satisfy Section 401(m) of the Code only if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans will be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Section 401(k) of the Code.

(b) In the event the Plan does not pass the ACP test, the test will be disaggregated by removing from the test all participants who have not attained age 21 and completed one eligibility year within 6 months of the last day of the plan year.

(c) All ESOP portions of the Savings Plan shall be aggregated for ACP with the Non-ESOP portions of the Savings Plan.

11. Treatment of Pre-Tax Savings as Participating Employer Contributions.

Alcoa may elect, in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Treasury under Section 401(m) of the Code, to treat all or a portion of the Pre-Tax Savings made on behalf of Eligible Employees for a Plan Year as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of calculating the Contribution Percentages of Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Any such Pre-Tax Savings for a Plan Year must be made no later than the end of the 12 month period immediately following the close of the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the preceding, Alcoa may elect to treat Pre-Tax Savings as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of calculating Contribution Percentages only if one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix is satisfied before the Pre-Tax Savings are treated as Participating Employer Contribution for the Plan Year, and one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix continues to be satisfied for the Plan Year excluding the Pre-Tax Savings treated as Participating Employer Contributions for the Plan Year.

12. Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(a) General Rule. If the Plan does not satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentages tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix as of the end of a Plan Year, the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year will be corrected by the Employer if the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year are forfeited or timely distributed to Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with subsection (c) below.

49


(b) Allocation of Excess Aggregate Contributions. In the event Excess Aggregate Contributions are made to the Plan for a Plan Year, the Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of deferrals for the Plan Year will be reduced to minimum extent necessary either:

(i) to enable the Plan to satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the Plan Year; or

(ii) to cause the Highly Compensated employee’s Contribution Percentage to equal the next highest Contribution Percentage of any Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year.

This process is repeated until the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year is sufficiently reduced to enable the Plan to satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the Plan Year. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions to be allocated to each Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year is equal the total After-Tax Savings and Participating Employer Contributions, including Pre-Tax Savings on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Employee’s reduced Contribution Percentage (as determined above) by the employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year.

(c) Forfeiture or Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions. Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus any income or minus any loss allocable thereto, must be forfeited to the extent attributable under subsection (f) below to Participating Employer Contributions that are not vested, and otherwise distributed to Highly Compensated Employees no later than 12 months following the close of the Plan Year.

(d) Income or Loss Allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions. The income or loss allocable to the Excess Aggregate Contributions referred to in subsection (c) above include the allocable income or loss for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the allocable income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions, calculated as follows:

(i) the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocable to the Participant’s After-tax Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, and any other amounts taken into account under this section for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the total account balance attributable to the Participant’s After-tax Savings, Participating Employer Contributions and other amounts taken into account under this section as of the end of the Plan Year, reduced by the investment gain (or increased by the investment loss) allocated to such total amount for the Plan Year;

 

Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees of Alcoa USA Corp.

Effective as of August 1, 2016

 

50


(ii) the income or loss allocable to the period (if any) between the end of the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions by the Plan is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss allocated to the Participant’s Participating Employer Contributions and amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this Appendix for such period by a fraction determined under the method described in (i) above. In the alternative, the income or loss allocable to the period between the end of the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions equals 10% of the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year (as determined under (i) above multiplied by the number of calendar months that elapse between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution. For these purposes, a distribution occurring on or before the fifteenth day of a calendar month is treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding calendar month, and a distribution occurring after the fifteenth date of a calendar month is treated as having been made on the first day of the following calendar month.

The income or loss will include only the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions, and not the income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(e) Coordination with Excess Contributions. The determination of the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year is made after the determination of the amount of any Excess Contributions for the Plan Year.

(f) Accounting for Excess Aggregate Contributions. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is attributed to Participating Employer Contributions and any amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions in proportion to the amounts of such contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year.

13. Recordkeeping Requirements.

(a) Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests. The Employer maintains records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix for each Plan Year, and the extent to which any Qualified Matching Contributions are treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix for purposes of such tests. The determination of Eligible Employees’ Actual Deferral Percentages, and the disposition of all Pre-Tax Savings (and any Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) on behalf of Participants, must satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury.

(b) Average Contribution Percentage Tests. The Employer maintains records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for each Plan Year, and the extent to which any Pre-Tax Savings are treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this Appendix for purposes of such tests. The determination of Eligible Employees’ Average Contribution Percentages, and the disposition of all Participating Employer Contributions (and any Pre-Tax Savings) on behalf of Participants, must satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury.

14. Distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals. Excess Elective Deferrals means Pre-Tax Savings that is includible in a Participant’s gross income under Section 402(g) of the Code to the extent it exceeds the dollar limitation. Excess Elective Deferrals are treated as annual additions under the Plan unless such amounts are distributed no later than the first April 15th following the close of the Participant’s taxable year. Excess Elective Deferrals are adjusted for any income or loss up to the date of distribution as calculated under paragraph 8(e) and 12(d) of this Appendix. A Participant is deemed to notify the Plan Administrator of Excess Elective Deferrals that arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and any other plans of the Employer. A Participant may assign any Excess Elective Deferrals made by the Participant to any other plans other than those of the Employer by notifying the Plan Administrator on or before January 15th of the following year.

APPENDIX B

CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATIONS

The limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code are hereby incorporated by reference. If there is any discrepancy between the provisions of this Plan and the provisions of Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder, the discrepancy will be resolved in such a way to give full effect to the provisions of Code Section 415.

The maximum annual additions provided by the Plan will be exactly equal to the maximum amounts permitted under Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder. In the event a Participant’s annual additions for any Plan Year would exceed the maximum amount of annual additions permitted under Code Section 415, such Participant’s Savings are automatically reduced, in whole or in part, by the amount required to eliminate such excess.

For purposes of applying the limitations described in this Appendix B, compensation will include any differential pay received by a Participant absent for military leave and any payment earned prior to a Participant’s separation from employment that is paid within a period ending on the later of i) two and one-half months following the date the Participant separated from employment, or ii) the end of the Plan Year in which the date the Participant separated from employment (“Post-Separation Compensation”). Post-Separation Compensation will include any payments for vacation, sickness, or leave of absence that otherwise would have been included as compensation had the Participant remained employed.

APPENDIX C

TOP HEAVY RULES

(a) This Plan constitutes a “Top Heavy Plan” for a Plan Year if as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year the present value of the cumulative account balances under the Plan for Participants who are Key Employees exceed 60 percent of the present value of the aggregate of all account balances for all Participants in the Plan. A non-Key Employee means any Participant or former Participant who is not a Key Employee.

(b) This Plan constitutes a Top Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if the employee benefit plans which make up the group of plans of which this Plan is considered a part are such that, when aggregated, the sum of (1) the present value of the account balances of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans in the group, and (2) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits of Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in the group exceed 60 percent of the sum of such amounts for all employees who participate in the plans in the said group.

(1) The group of plans in which this Plan is considered a part includes (A) all plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates which enable the particular plans in which a Key Employee participates to meet the qualification requirement of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code or Section 410 of the Code; and, (B) all plans which Alcoa, in its discretion, decides to include, provided that the inclusion of such plan or plans would not prevent the group of plans from meeting the qualification requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. The date upon which the account balances are valued for purposes of calculating the top heavy ratio to determine whether or not the Plan is Top Heavy for a particular Plan Year is the determination date, which is the last day of the preceding Plan Year, or in the case of the first plan year of any plan, the last day of such plan year.

(2) The amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date are increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the plan and any plan aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence also applies to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision is applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period.”

(3) The accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the employer during the one-year period ending on the determination date are not taken into account.

54


(c) The following provisions are applicable to Participants for any Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is Top Heavy:

(1) The minimum Participating Employer Contribution for a Participant who is a non-Key Employee and has not separated from service at the end of the Plan Year must not be less than three percent of his or her Eligible Compensation for the Top Heavy Plan Year. If said allocation is less than three percent of his or her Eligible Compensation, then said allocation is the largest percentage allocated to a Key Employee for the Top Heavy Plan Year. In the event the highest rate allocated to a Key Employee for the Top Heavy Plan Year is less than three percent, Pre-Tax amounts contributed to the Plan are included in determining contributions made on behalf of Key Employees. Compensation for determining a minimum benefit, a minimum contribution and for all other Top Heavy purposes is the Participant’s W-2 earnings for the calendar year that ends with the Plan Year.

Participating Employer Contributions used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements are treated as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.

(2) With respect to benefits accruing during any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top Heavy, average compensation is limited to amounts not in excess of the amount permitted under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. If the accrued benefit as of the end of the last Plan Year before the Plan became Top Heavy is greater than the accrued benefit determined by limiting compensation, that higher accrued benefit cannot be reduced.

(3) In the event the Plan is Top Heavy with respect to a Plan Year and ceases to be Top Heavy for a subsequent Plan Year the Participant’s account balance in any such subsequent Plan Year is not less than the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings (subject to adjustment for earnings) computed as of the end of the most recent Plan Year for which the Plan was Top Heavy.

(d) Notwithstanding any of the above, if a non-Key Employee participates in this Plan and a defined benefit pension plan included in a required aggregation group which is top heavy, a minimum allocation of five percent of Section 415 compensation is provided under this Plan. The Plan will not be deemed Top Heavy if ninety percent is substituted for sixty percent in (b)(1) of this Appendix and Participating Employer provides additional contributions to the Plan on behalf of non-Key Employees who participate in both defined benefit and defined contribution plans maintained by a Participating Employer, in amounts at least equal to the amount set forth in Paragraph (c)(1) of this Appendix as modified by substituting “seven and one-half percent” for “three percent.” If the non-Key Employee does not participate in a defined benefit plan maintained by Alcoa, a Subsidiary or Affiliate, such employee will receive an additional contribution of four percent.

1.3. Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Appendix D will be determined and made in accordance with Section 401(a)(9) of the Code and Treasury regulations §§1.401)(a)(9)-2 through -9, which will override any inconsistent distribution provisions of the Plan. Distribution of any incidental death benefit requirements provided under the Plan will be a distribution for purposes of this Appendix D.

1.4. TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Appendix D, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the plan that relate to section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

Section 2. Time and Manner of Distribution.

 

2.1. Required Beginning Date. The participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the participant no later than the participant’s required beginning date.

2.2. Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the participant dies before distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the designated beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the participant’s death. If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the participant but before distributions to either the participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant. This election will apply to all distributions.

If there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the participant’s death, the participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the participant’s death.

56


2.3. Forms of Distribution. Unless the participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with sections 3 and 4 of this Appendix D. If the participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of section 40l(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.

Section 3. Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime.

3.1. Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:

(a) the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the participant’s age as of the participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

(b) if the participant’s sole designated beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

3.2. Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this section 3 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the participant’s date of death

Section 4. Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.

4.1. Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the participant or the remaining life expectancy of the participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as follows:

 

Retirement Savings Plan for Hourly Employees of Alcoa USA Corp.

Effective as of August 1, 2016

 

57


(1) The participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(2) If the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

(3) If the participant’s surviving spouse is not the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, the designated beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the beneficiary in the year following the year of the participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

4.2. Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the participant’s account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the participant’s designated beneficiary, determined as provided in section 4.1.

(b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the participant’s death, distribution of the participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the participant’s death.

(c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the participant dies before the date distributions begin, the participant’s surviving spouse is the participant’s sole designated beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section 2.2, this section 4.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the participant.

5.2. Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under section 2.2. The required minimum distribution for the participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

5.3. Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

RETIREMENT SAVINGS PLAN FOR SALARIED EMPLOYEES OF ALCOA USA CORP.

Alcoa USA Corp. (herein called “Alcoa”) established the Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees of Alcoa USA Corp.

The purpose of the Plan is to provide retirement benefits, and to enable Participants to acquire a stock interest in the Company’s parent corporation.

This Plan is intended as a continuation of the Predecessor Plan for the Participants covered by this Plan and recognizes elections and Retirements under the Predecessor Plan. No person is entitled to a benefit under both this Plan and the Predecessor Plan. References in this Plan to dates and actions prior to August 1, 2016, refer to the Predecessor Plan.

The Alcoa Stock Fund is an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), within the meaning of Section 4975(e) of the Code, and is intended to comply with all applicable provisions. The assets held in the ESOP must be invested primarily in employer securities as defined in Code Section 409(l).

The Plan is intended to be construed in accordance with any regulatory guidance issued with respect to applicable laws and regulations. The plan is intended to conform to safe harbor provisions under Code Sections 401(a)(12) and 401(m)(11)_applicable with the first 12 month period after the adoption of the plan.

(b) Direct Rollovers.

(i) Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a distributee’s election under this subsection, a distributee may elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Plan Administrator, to have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

(ii) Definitions:

(1) Eligible rollover distribution: An eligible rollover distribution means any distribution to an employee of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of the employee in the Plan, and as otherwise described in this subsection (1). An eligible rollover distribution does not include any distribution that is one of a series of substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the distributee’s designated Beneficiary; or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and any amount distributed on account of hardship.

(2) Eligible Retirement Plan: An eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity described in Sections 408(a) and 408(b) of the Code; a qualified trust described in Section 401(a) of the Code that accepts the distributee’s eligible rollover distribution; an annuity plan or contract described in Sections 403(a) and 403(b) of the Code; or an eligible plan under Section 457(b) of the Code which is maintained by a state, political subdivision of a state, or any agency or instrumentality of a state or political subdivision of a state that agrees to separately account for amounts transferred into such plan from this plan. The definition of eligible retirement plan will also apply in the case of a distribution to a surviving spouse of a Participant or the spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order as defined in Section 414(p) of the Code. With respect to an eligible rollover distribution to a Participant’s nonspouse Beneficiary, an eligible retirement plan is an individual retirement account or annuity described in Sections 408(a) and 408(b) of the Code established for the purpose of receiving such distribution, and identifying the deceased Participant and Beneficiary.

SECTION 12. PAYMENT OF DISTRIBUTIONS UPON TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT

(a) Subject to the following provisions of this Section, payment to a Participant or Beneficiary of the Current Market Value of all Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions in the Participant’s account from any Investment Fund, other than the Alcoa Stock Fund, upon the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service is made in cash. All amounts held in the Alcoa Stock Fund at the time of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service are paid in cash or Alcoa Inc. Stock.

(i) If the Current Market Value of all of the Participant’s vested account balances (not including Rollover Contributions) in all qualified defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates is less than one thousand dollars ($1,000), then a total distribution of all of the Participant’s vested account balances will be made to the Participant at a time determined by the Plan. If the Current Market Value of all of the Participant’s vested account balances (not including Rollover Contributions) in all qualified defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates (i) is greater than one thousand dollars ($1,000) but less than five thousand dollars ($5,000), the distribution will be paid in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Benefits Management Committee unless the Participant, or Beneficiary if applicable, elects to have such distribution paid directly to an eligible retirement plan specified by the Participant or Beneficiary in a direct rollover or to receive the distribution directly in cash. The value of any delisted stock that is no longer publicly traded but that is held in the Participant’s Brokerage Account shall not be considered for purposes of the preceding valuation. Any such delisted stock shall be distributed in-kind where the value of the Participant’s vested account balances (not including Rollover Contributions) in all qualified defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates is less than five thousand dollars ($5,000), in a direct rollover to an individual retirement account designated by the Benefits Management Committee. Upon such distribution of de-listed stock, the amounts distributed will be reported for income tax purposes using reasonable methods available at such time and determined by the Plan.

(ii) If the Current Market Value of all of the Participant’s vested account balances in all defined contribution plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates exceeds five thousand dollars ($5,000), the distribution is made upon the consent of the Participant, or surviving spouse if applicable, and if no consent is given and no claim for benefits has been made, such distribution is made in total upon his or her attainment of age 69. Prior to the distribution of the total Current Market Value of the Participant’s total account balance, the Participant, or the Beneficiary in the case of a Participant who dies with an account balance in the Plan, may request four partial distributions (subject to a $250.00 minimum) during each Plan Year in which the account balance is maintained in the Plan. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a claim for benefits is made, a distribution is made no later than the 60th day after the latest of the last day of the Plan Year in which occurs: (1) the date on which the Participant attains the earlier of age 65, (2) occurs the tenth anniversary of the year in which the Participant commenced participation in the Plan, or (3) the Participant terminates his or her service with the Participating Employer.

Stock which are to be sold for the account of the recipient, the Trustee may, at its option (1) purchase such shares for Plan purposes at the Current Market Value on the Effective Date of distribution, or (2) sell such shares on the open market for the account of the recipient.

Upon his or her subsequent termination from employment, the Participant’s account balances are paid in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this Section 12.

This Plan is designed to comply with and operate under Section 404(c) of ERISA. A Participant and his or her Beneficiaries assume all risk in connection with any decrease in the value of any investments allocated to such Participant’s account. For purposes of Section 404(c)(1) of ERISA, in the absence of Participant or Beneficiary investment direction, a Participant or Beneficiary shall be treated as having exercised control over the assets invested in any investment which qualifies as a QDIA in accordance with Section 404(c)(5) of ERISA and the regulations promulgated thereunder.

The Plan does not and should not be construed as conferring any rights upon any person for a continuation of employment, nor does it interfere with the rights of Alcoa or any Subsidiary or Affiliate to terminate the employment of any person or to take any personnel action affecting such person without regard to the effect which such action might have upon such person or his or her Beneficiaries as a prospective recipient of benefits under the Plan.

(b) Military Service. Notwithstanding any provision of this Plan to the contrary, contributions, benefits and service credit with respect to qualified military service will be provided in accordance with Section 414(u) of the Internal Revenue Code.

SECTION 16. MANAGEMENT OF FUNDS

(a) General. Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, Discretionary Contributions, Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions paid to the Trustee are invested as provided in the Plan.

(b) Trustees and Investment Managers. The Board or its designee (including but not limited to the Benefits Management Committee) has the responsibility to appoint, review the performance of, and remove where deemed appropriate, one or more Trustees, and one or more investment managers each of which is a bank, insurance company or other investment adviser qualified under Section 3(38) of ERISA. The duties of each Trustee and manager, to the extent not set forth in the Plan, are set forth in a trust agreement or other written documents approved by the Board or its designee. Except as otherwise provided in such documents or in the Plan, each such investment manager has sole investment control and management responsibility with respect to those assets of the Plan for which it is designated the investment manager. The Board may delegate its authority to appoint an investment manager, to remove an investment manager, to approve and direct the execution by the proper officer or officers of Alcoa of amendments to agreements with any investment manager and to review the performance of any such managers. Such delegation also includes the authority to approve written documents setting forth the duties of any manager and to direct the execution of investment management agreements by the proper officer or officers of Alcoa. No Trustee has any investment responsibility for any assets which are subject to the investment control of another investment manager and as to such assets it only has custodial duties if it is the custodian.

(c) Designation of Investment Strategy. The Board or its designee (including but not limited to the Benefits Management Committee) may from time to time designate, as to part or all of the assets of the Plan, that a separate fund or funds be established. Except as otherwise provided in the Plan, as to each such separate fund the Board or its designee may specify the investment strategy to be employed and the investment manager is thereupon relieved of responsibility for assuring that the specified investment strategy creates suitable diversification of the overall assets of the Plan, provided that such investment manager has followed such specifications.

(d) (1) Acquisition of Fixed Income Investments by the Trustee. The Trustee will enter into investment arrangements with insurance companies, banks or money managers, as directed by an investment manager duly appointed by the Board or its designee for the Fixed Income Fund. The Trustee will invest all Savings and other amounts to be invested in the Fixed Income Fund in accordance with such directions.

(2) Accounting for Participant’s Accounts. Participants’ investments in the Fixed Income Fund are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in the Fixed Income Fund as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participant’s accounts to be invested therein. Such allocations will be made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective Date of the transfer or withdrawal.

(e) (1) Acquisition of Alcoa Inc. Stock by Trustee. The Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, Discretionary Contributions, Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions to be invested in the Alcoa Stock Fund are used by the Trustee to purchase from time to time shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock (i) from Alcoa, at the Current Market Value thereof, or (ii) to the extent Alcoa does make shares available for purchase by the Trustee for such purpose, on the open market, unless Alcoa otherwise directs, or (iii) by the exercise of warrants or rights as provided in this Section. The Trustee, to the extent reasonable, invests any cash held in the fund in cash equivalents (including commercial paper). The Trustee also holds for the purpose of allocation to the accounts of individual Participants as hereinafter provided (i) shares of such stock which the Trustee has acquired upon withdrawal by a Participant, and (ii) shares of such stock which the Trustee has acquired pursuant to Participants’ elections to transfer investments under the provisions of Section 9. All shares of such stock purchased by the Trustee are carried in the accounts of the Trustee at the actual cost thereof, including any taxes, commissions, etc. which are not paid by the Participating Employer, incident to the purchase except that shares acquired upon the exercise of warrants or rights are carried at the Current Market Value of such shares on the date of such exercise.

(2) Allocation of Stock to Participants’ Accounts. Participants’ investments in the Alcoa Stock Fund are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in the Alcoa Stock Fund as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participants’ accounts to be invested therein. Such allocations are made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective Date of the transfer or withdrawal.

(3) Allocation of Dividends to Participants’ Accounts. In valuing the units, dividends are accounted for on the date the board of directors of Alcoa Inc. declares the dividend. Once received, dividends are invested in the Alcoa Stock Fund. A Participant may elect to receive an annual distribution of the dividends posted to their account during the Plan Year. Such election must be made prior to the last dividend record date in the Plan Year, and distribution will be made as soon as administratively practical following the date the final dividends are posted to the Participant’s account. Distribution will be paid in a lump sum from the Alcoa Stock Fund. To the extent the Participant’s account balance in the Alcoa Stock Fund is insufficient to pay the dividends, the balance of the distribution will be paid pro-rata from the Participant’s other Core Fund investments.

(4) Warrants & Purchase Rights. A Participant has no right of request, direction or demand upon the Trustee to exercise in his or her behalf warrants or rights to purchase shares of common stock or other securities of Alcoa, except as otherwise determined by the board of directors of Alcoa Inc. The Trustee, in its discretion, may exercise or sell any warrants or rights to purchase shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock appertaining to shares of such stock held by the Trustee and may sell any warrants or rights to purchase other securities of Alcoa appertaining to shares of such stock held by the Trustee.

(5) Stock Splits & Dividends. Shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock received by the Trustee by reason of a stock split or stock dividend become part of the Alcoa Stock Fund.

(6) Voting. The Trustee exercises its voting rights in accordance with written directions of each Participant with respect to at least the number of whole shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock held by it in the Participants’ accounts on the record date for voting. With respect to all other shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock held by the Trustee on the record date for voting (the “Other Shares”), including but not limited to, (i) fractional shares in the Participants’ accounts (if they are not subject to direct voting), (ii) shares for which it has not received written directions from any Participant, and (iii) any shares which have not yet been allocated to Participants’ accounts, the Trustee exercises its voting rights in the same proportion (for, against, abstain and so on) on each matter as it exercises its voting rights with respect to shares of Alcoa Inc. Stock for which voting directions were received from all participants in all plans which participate in the Alcoa Stock Fund.

(f) (1) Acquisition of Other Investments by Trustee. Alcoa has and in the future will enter into investment arrangements with various investment managers. Any such arrangements must be approved by the Benefits Management Committee. Expenses incurred in connection with the purchase or sale of securities by the investment manager are paid from the applicable Investment Fund.

(2) Accounting for Participant’s Accounts. Participants’ investments in the Core Funds are accounted for on a unit basis. The Trustee allocates to the accounts of each Participant such units in each of the Core Funds as may be acquired with funds (if any) in such Participant’s accounts to be invested therein. Such allocations will be made in a uniform manner as determined by the Benefits Management Committee. Transfers and withdrawals are valued based on the Current Market Value per unit on the Effective Date of the transfer or withdrawal.

(g) Transition Provision. Pending investment under an arrangement established pursuant to this Section and pending distribution to Participants following withdrawal from such an arrangement, cash is invested by the Trustee in short-term fixed income securities or cash equivalents (including commercial paper) and the value of such securities or cash equivalents is allocated to the accounts of Participants in an equitable manner determined by the Benefits Management Committee.

(h) Brokerage Account. Participants have the right to invest and personally manage investments outside of the Core Funds by investing through the Brokerage Account offered by a broker selected by the Plan (“Broker”). Investment options through the Brokerage Account are mutual funds (other than those already available as Core Funds), any taxable equity or fixed income security publicly traded in a U.S. security market (including American Depository Receipts), and money market funds. Pre-Tax Savings, After-Tax Savings, Rollover Contributions, Participating Employer Contributions, Discretionary Contributions Restricted Discretionary Contributions, and Employer Retirement Income Contributions that are subject to transfer as provided in Section 9, may not be directly invested in the Brokerage Account, nor may withdrawals, distributions or loans be made directly from the Brokerage Account.

Transfers from Core Funds may be made as provided in Section 9. Transferred funds will be held in the Broker’s money market fund until the Participant’s buy orders are received by the Broker. Trades may be subject to initial and subsequent investment minimums required by a mutual fund.

Transfers are made out of the Brokerage Account and into the Core Funds from the Schwab Money Market Fund. If there are insufficient funds to make the requested transfer, the participant must submit a sell order with Schwab.

(3) Expenses Incurred by Trading and Voting. The Broker’s standard commission schedule will be deducted from the Brokerage Account of the Participant who initiates the trades, and any other fees and expenses incurred through the Brokerage Account will be paid directly by the Participant.

The Broker will execute proxies for any securities held in the Brokerage Account accounts in accordance with written directions of any Participant.

(b) Sale of Assets, etc. In the event any assets of any business of any Participating Employer are transferred to another entity by sale, merger, consolidation or otherwise, and the entity to which said assets are transferred has in effect, or thereupon establishes, a tax-qualified plan and related trust for the exclusive benefit of employees which qualify under the applicable provisions of the Code, all assets under the Plan, held in the accounts of Participants who continue in the employment of the transferee entity, may be transferred and paid, for their respective accounts, to the trust for the tax-qualified plan of said transferee entity, provided that any such transfer of investments will be effected in such manner as to preclude, for federal income tax purposes, a termination of the Plan or the constructive receipt of benefits thereunder with respect to said Participants.

(c) Transfer of Plan Assets.

(1) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of any merger or consolidation of the Plan with, or a transfer of any of the assets and liabilities of the Plan to any other plan, each affected Participant must (as if such plan were terminated immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer) be entitled to a benefit under such other plan which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she would have been entitled to receive under the Plan

immediately prior to such merger, consolidation or transfer (as if the Plan had then terminated). In the event that assets are transferred to this Plan from any other plan sponsored by Alcoa or any Subsidiary or Affiliate, each Participant who has assets transferred from such plan or plans will be entitled to a benefit under this Plan which is equal to or greater than the benefit he or she had under such other plan.

SECTION 22. SELECTION OF BENEFICIARIES

(a) Designation of Beneficiary. Subject to such administrative procedures as may be adopted from time to time, the Beneficiary with respect to all of the assets in the accounts of a Participant will be Participant’s spouse if then living, or if not, the Participant’s estate. With the written notarized consent of a Participant’s spouse, a Participant may file with the Plan Administrator or its Designee a written designation of a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries other than his or her spouse. In the event the designation of such other Beneficiary is revoked in writing by the Participant, his or her spouse will become the Beneficiary of said assets until such time as the Participant, with his or her spouse’s written notarized consent, designates in writing another Beneficiary or Beneficiaries. Beneficiaries named under the Predecessor Plan shall be recognized for purposes of this Plan.

32


In the event a Participant certifies that he or she does not have a spouse, a Beneficiary or Beneficiaries with respect to all or part of the assets in the accounts of the Participant may be designated or revoked by the sole action of the Participant.

If there is no designated Beneficiary, or if no Beneficiary is living at the time of the Participant’s death, the Beneficiary is the Participant’s spouse if then living, or if not, the Participant’s estate.

Written designations of a primary Beneficiary or a contingent Beneficiary to receive the assets of a Participant in the case where the primary Beneficiary is deceased, spousal consents, and revocations are made on a form or forms approved by the Plan Administrator. Any such written designation, consent or revocation becomes effective on the calendar day on which such designation, consent or revocation is Properly Received. After the death of a Participant, a properly designated Beneficiary may name his or her own Beneficiary to receive a distribution of the Beneficiary’s account balances when the Beneficiary is deceased (“Subsequent Beneficiary”). A Subsequent Beneficiary shall receive a total distribution of the Subsequent Beneficiary’s account balance within the later of: (i) ninety (90) days after death of the Beneficiary who named such Beneficiary or (ii) five (5) years of the Participant’s death.

(b) Other Payments. In case of incapacity of a Participant or Beneficiary entitled to a benefit under the Plan, benefit payment are made to such person’s legal representative who makes claim therefore, or if no such claim has been received, to such other person or persons as the Benefits Management Committee, utilizing objective criteria, selects from among dependents, next of kin or friends. Any payment of a benefit under the Plan in accordance with the provisions of this Section is a complete discharge of any liability for the payment of such benefit under the Plan.

 

SECTION 23. PARTICIPANT’S STATEMENT

A statement showing each Participant’s interest in each of the Plan’s Investment Funds will be made available at least quarterly.

(d) “Contribution Percentage” means the ratio, expressed as a percentage calculated to the nearest one-hundredth of one percent, of the sum of Participating Employer Contributions (other than Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) and any After-Tax Savings on behalf of an Eligible Employee for a Plan Year to the Employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year, whether or not the employee was a Participant for the entire Plan Year. For these purposes, an Eligible Employee’s Contribution Percentage for any Plan Year is calculated by excluding any forfeitures of Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to the Eligible Employee’s account for the Plan Year.

(e) “Compensation” means the total amount of compensation (within the meaning of Section 415(c)(3) of the Code, and subject to the limitation of Section 401(a)(17) of the Code) received by an employee from the Employer while an Eligible Employee under the Plan during the Plan Year. An Eligible Employee’s Compensation for a Plan Year includes all Pre-Tax Savings made to the plan for the Plan Year, and all other such employee savings made by the Employer for the Plan Year to any other plan on behalf of the employee that are not currently includible in the gross income of the employee under Sections 125, 132(f)(4), 402(a)(8), 402(h) or 403(b) of the Code, provided that Alcoa has elected to treat all such elective contributions as compensation with respect to all employees under all plans of the Participating Employer.

(f) “Eligible Employee” means, with respect to any Plan Year, any employee who is eligible to commence participation in the Plan under Section 1 of the Plan and to have Savings made to the Plan under Section 2 of the Plan for the Plan Year, regardless of whether any contributions are made to the Plan on behalf of the employee for the Plan Year.

(g) “Excess Contributions” means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of Pre-Tax Savings, including Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Elective Deferrals under paragraph 7 of this Appendix, actually made to the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under paragraph 5 of this Appendix.

(h) “Excess Aggregate Contributions” means, with respect to any Plan Year, the excess of the aggregate amount of Participating Employer Contributions and any After-Tax Savings actually made to the Plan on behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year over the maximum amount of such contributions permitted under paragraph 9 of this Appendix.

(i) “Employer” means Alcoa Inc. and all other entities as required to be covered under Section 414(c) of the Code.

(j) “Highly Compensated Employee” includes, for any Plan Year, the following Employees:

(i) A Highly Compensated Active Employee includes any employee (other than employees who are non-resident aliens and receive no earned income from sources within the U.S.) who performs service for the Employer during the Determination Year and who during the Look-Back Year:

(1) was a 5 % owner (within the meaning pursuant to Section 416(i)(1) of the Code) at any time during the year or the preceding year, or

(2) for the preceding year received Compensation from the Employer in excess of $80,000 (as adjusted pursuant to Section 415(d) of the Code) for such year.

(ii) A Highly Compensated Former Employee means:

36


(1) any employee who was a Highly Compensated Employee when the employee separated from service, or

(2) any employee who was a Highly compensated Employee at any time after attaining the age 55.

(k) “Non-Highly Compensated Employee” means, for any Plan Year, an employee who is not a Highly Compensated Employee.

(l) “Qualified Matching Contributions” means any Participating Employer Contributions to this Plan on behalf of Eligible Employees, provided that amounts attributable to such contributions are not distributable merely on account of the Employee’s hardship and are immediately vested.

5. Average Actual Deferral Percentage Test. For each Plan Year, the Plan must satisfy one of the following Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests with respect to Pre-Tax Savings, and Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix, made to both the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan for the Plan Year:

(a) the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(b) the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two, provided that the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year does not exceed the Average Actual Deferral Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points.

(c) The Average Actual Deferral Percentage Test for all contributions to the ESOP portion of the Plan will be computed separately under this Section.

For Plan Years in which the Plan is operated in accordance with the safe harbor requirements of Section 401(k)(12) of the Code, Section 5 of this Appendix A does not apply.

6. Special Rules.

(a) Aggregation of Plans. In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a)(4), 401(k) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then the provisions stated herein will be applied by determining the Actual Deferral Percentages of Employees as if all such plans (excluding other ESOPs) were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated in order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code only if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans will be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Section 401(k) of the Code.

(b) In the event the Plan does not pass the ADP test, the test will be disaggregated by removing from the test all participants who have not attained age 21 and completed one eligibility year within 6 months of the last day of the plan year.

(c) All ESOP portions of the Savings Plan shall be aggregated for ADP with the Non-ESOP portions of the Savings Plan.

7. Treatment of Qualified Matching Contributions. If any Qualified Matching Contributions are made on behalf of Eligible Employees for a Plan Year, Alcoa may elect, in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Treasury under Section 401(k) of the Code, to treat all or a portion of such Qualified Matching Contributions as Pre-Tax Savings for purposes of calculating the Actual Deferral Percentages of Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Any such Qualified Matching Contributions for a Plan Year must be made no later than the end of the 12 month period immediately following the close of the Plan Year.

8. Correction of Excess Contributions.

(a) General Rule. If the Plan does not satisfy one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix as of the end of a Plan Year, the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year will be corrected if the Excess Contributions for the Plan Year are timely recharacterized as employee After-Tax Savings contributions in accordance with subsection (c) below or timely distributed to Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with subsection (d) below.

(b) Allocation of Excess Contributions. In the event the nondiscrimination requirements of paragraph 5 of this Appendix are not satisfied for a Plan Year, the “deferral percentage leveling method” described in the preceding paragraph is performed as a first step in order to determine the total dollar amount of Excess Contribution to be distributed: a calculation is made to determine the dollar amount of Elective Deferrals necessary to reduce the deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the highest deferral percentage to be equal to the deferral percentage of the Highly Compensated Employee with the next highest deferral percentage, and where necessary, calculations are made to determine the dollar amounts of reductions of the deferral percentage of subsequent Highly Compensated Employees that may be required in order to satisfy the nondiscrimination requirements in paragraph 5 of this Appendix. The total dollar amount of Excess Contribution that must be distributed for the Plan Year is the sum of the dollar amounts so calculated for each Highly Compensated Employee whose deferral percentage is so reduced.

 

Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees of Alcoa USA Corp.

Effective August 1, 2016

 

38


Distribution of the total amount of Excess Contribution determined in the paragraph above is made using the “dollar leveling method.” Excess Contributions of the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of contributions for the Plan Year shall be distributed to the extent necessary to cause that Highly Compensated Employee’s dollar amount of Excess Contributions to equal the dollar amount of Excess Contributions of the Highest Compensated Employee with the next highest dollar amount of Excess Contributions for the Plan Year. If the total amount distributed is less than the amount of total Excess Contribution, then both Highly Compensated Employees’ amounts are reduced to the same dollar level of the Highly Compensated Employee electing the third highest dollar amount and the dollar leveling process is repeated until the total dollar amount that should be reduced as calculated in the above paragraph is distributed. However, if reduction of a lesser amount of contributions would equal the total dollar amount of Excess Contributions that must be distributed for the Plan Year, the lesser amount is distributed.

A participant who has had his contributions reduced in accordance with this subparagraph shall have the amount of such reduction paid to him in cash as soon as practicable, subject to applicable payroll taxes. The amount of the Excess Contributions to be distributed shall be reduced by excess deferrals under 402(g) previously distributed for the Plan Year. The distributions of Excess Contributions shall include the income allocable thereto, including both the income allocable for the Plan Year for which the Contributions were made and the income for the period between the end of that Plan Year and the date as of which the distribution is made. The distribution of Excess Contributions shall include the income or loss allocable only for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions, and will not include the income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the date distribution is made. In addition, any Company Matching Contributions associated with the Excess Contribution shall be treated as forfeiture and used to reduce the Employer’s contribution under Section 3 of the Plan.

(c) Recharacterization of Excess Contributions. Any recharacterization of Excess Contributions as employee After-Tax Savings will be accomplished by the Plan Administrator in the manner provided in subsection (b) above within 2  12 months after the close of the Plan Year, providing such notices and following such procedures as required by regulations of the Secretary of Treasury, and will be deemed to occur no earlier than the date on which the last Highly Compensated Employee is informed in writing of the amount of his or her recharacterized Excess Contributions and the consequences thereof. Any Excess Contributions that are recharacterized as employee after-tax contributions for a Plan Year will, in combination with other Participating Employer Contributions to the Plan for the Plan Year, satisfy the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the Plan Year. Any recharacterized Excess Contributions remain nonforfeitable under the Plan and are subject to the same distribution requirements as Pre-Tax Savings. Recharacterized Excess Contributions are taxable to the Highly Compensated Employee for the year in which the Highly Compensated Employee could have originally elected to receive the Excess Contributions amount in cash.

39


(d) Distribution of Excess Contributions. If any Excess Contributions allocated to Highly Compensated Employees for a Plan Year are not corrected by recharacterization under (c) above, then such Excess Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto, will be distributed to Highly Compensated Employees no later than 12 months following the close of the Plan Year.

(e) Income or Loss Allocable to Excess Contributions. The income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions referred to in subsection (d) above include the allocable income or loss for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions and the allocable income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of the Excess Contributions, calculated as follows:

The income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocable to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings and amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Contributions allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the total account balance attributable to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings and amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix as of the end of the Plan Year, reduced by the investment gain (or increased by the investment loss) allocated to such total amount for the Plan Year.

The income or loss allocable to the Excess Contributions referred to in subsection (d) above will include only the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Contributions, and not the income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of Excess Contributions.

(f) Coordination with Excess Pre-Tax Savings. The amount of any Excess Contributions to be recharacterized under subsection (c) above or distributed under subsection (d) above with respect to any Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is reduced by any excess Pre-Tax Savings previously distributed to the Highly Compensated Employee for the employee’s taxable year ending with or within the Plan Year.

(g) Accounting for Excess Contributions. The amount of Excess Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year that is recharacterized under subsection (c) above or distributed under subsection (d) above is attributed first to the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year and then, to the extent such Excess Contributions exceed the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year, attributed to amounts treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 4 of this Appendix in proportion to the amounts of such contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year.

9. Average Contribution Percentage Tests. For each Plan Year for which Participating Employer Contributions are made to the Plan (other than Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings for the Plan Year under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) or any After-Tax Savings are made to the Plan (including any Excess Contributions recharacterized as After-Tax Savings for the Plan Year under paragraph 8(c) of this Appendix), both the ESOP and non-ESOP portions of the Plan will satisfy one of the following Average Contribution Percentage tests for the Plan Year (or will collectively satisfy, if aggregated):

 

Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees of Alcoa USA Corp.

Effective August 1, 2016

 

40


(a) the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

(b) the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year will not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year multiplied by two, provided that the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year does not exceed the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Non-Highly Compensated Employees by more than two percentage points.

(c) For Plan Years in which the Plan is operated in accordance with the safe harbor requirements of Sections 401(k)(12) and 401(m)(11) of the Code with respect to Participating Employer Contributions only, Section 9 of this Appendix A does not apply. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Plan Administrator may include Participating Employer Contributions, or any other employer contributions that meet the definition of qualified non-elective contributions, in the Average Contribution Percentage Tests for any Plan Year, to the extent that such inclusion is permitted under the law and would improve the Average Contribution Percentage testing results. The Average Contribution Percentage Test applies separately to the ESOP portion of the Plan (unless aggregated with the non-ESOP portion).

10. Special Rules.

(a) Aggregation of Plans. In the event that this Plan satisfies the requirements of Section 401(a)(4), 401(m) or 410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one or more other plans, or if one or more other plans satisfy the requirements of such sections of the Code only if aggregated with this Plan, then the provisions stated herein will be applied by determining the Contribution Percentages of Employees as if all such plans were a single plan. Plans may be aggregated to satisfy Section 401(m) of the Code only if they have the same plan year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, certain plans will be treated as separate if mandatorily disaggregated under regulations under Section 401(k) of the Code.

(b) In the event the Plan does not pass the ACP test, the test will be disaggregated by removing from the test all participants who have not attained age 21 and completed one eligibility year within 6 months of the last day of the plan year.

(c) All ESOP portions of the Savings Plan shall be aggregated for ACP with the Non-ESOP portions of the Savings Plan.

11. Treatment of Pre-Tax Savings as Participating Employer Contributions.

Alcoa may elect, in accordance with the regulations of the Secretary of Treasury under Section 401(m) of the Code, to treat all or a portion of the Pre-Tax Savings made on behalf of Eligible Employees for a Plan Year as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of calculating the Contribution Percentages of Eligible Employees for the Plan Year. Any such Pre-Tax Savings for a Plan Year must be made no later than the end of the 12 month period immediately following the close of the Plan Year. Notwithstanding the preceding, Alcoa may elect to treat Pre-Tax Savings as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of calculating Contribution Percentages only if one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix is satisfied before the Pre-Tax Savings are treated as Participating Employer Contribution for the Plan Year, and one of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix continues to be satisfied for the Plan Year excluding the Pre-Tax Savings treated as Participating Employer Contributions for the Plan Year.

12. Correction of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

(a) General Rule. If the Plan does not satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentages tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix as of the end of a Plan Year, the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year will be corrected by the Employer if the Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year are forfeited or timely distributed to Highly Compensated Employees in accordance with subsection (c) below.

(b) Allocation of Excess Aggregate Contributions. In the event Excess Aggregate Contributions are made to the Plan for a Plan Year, the Contribution Percentage for the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest dollar amount of deferrals for the Plan Year will be reduced to minimum extent necessary either:

(i) to enable the Plan to satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the Plan Year; or

(ii) to cause the Highly Compensated employee’s Contribution Percentage to equal the next highest Contribution Percentage of any Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year.

This process is repeated until the Average Contribution Percentage for the group of Eligible Employees who are Highly Compensated Employees for the Plan Year is sufficiently reduced to enable the Plan to satisfy one of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for the Plan Year. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions to be allocated to each Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year is equal the total After-Tax Savings and Participating Employer Contributions, including Pre-Tax Savings on behalf of the Highly Compensated Employee for the Plan Year minus the amount determined by multiplying the Highly Compensated Employee’s reduced Contribution Percentage (as determined above) by the employee’s Compensation for the Plan Year.

42


(c) Forfeiture or Distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions. Excess Aggregate Contributions, plus any income or minus any loss allocable thereto, must be forfeited to the extent attributable under subsection (f) below to Participating Employer Contributions that are not vested, and otherwise distributed to Highly Compensated Employees no later than 12 months following the close of the Plan Year.

(d) Income or Loss Allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions. The income or loss allocable to the Excess Aggregate Contributions referred to in subsection (c) above include the allocable income or loss for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the allocable income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions, calculated as follows:

(i) the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss (including dividends, interest, realized gains or losses, and unrealized appreciation or depreciation) allocable to the Participant’s After-tax Savings, Participating Employer Contributions, and any other amounts taken into account under this section for the Plan Year by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to the Participant for the Plan Year, and the denominator of which is the total account balance attributable to the Participant’s After-tax Savings, Participating Employer Contributions and other amounts taken into account under this section as of the end of the Plan Year, reduced by the investment gain (or increased by the investment loss) allocated to such total amount for the Plan Year;

(ii) the income or loss allocable to the period (if any) between the end of the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions by the Plan is determined by multiplying the total investment income or loss allocated to the Participant’s Participating Employer Contributions and amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this Appendix for such period by a fraction determined under the method described in (i) above. In the alternative, the income or loss allocable to the period between the end of the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions and the distribution of the Excess Aggregate Contributions equals 10% of the income or loss allocable to the Participant’s Excess Aggregate Contributions for the Plan Year (as determined under (i) above multiplied by the number of calendar months that elapse between the end of the Plan Year and the date of distribution. For these purposes, a distribution occurring on or before the fifteenth day of a calendar month is treated as having been made on the last day of the preceding calendar month, and a distribution occurring after the fifteenth date of a calendar month is treated as having been made on the first day of the following calendar month.

The income or loss will include only the income or loss allocable for the Plan Year of the Excess Aggregate Contributions, and not the income or loss for the period between the end of the Plan Year and the distribution of Excess Aggregate Contributions.

43


(e) Coordination with Excess Contributions. The determination of the amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions for a Plan Year is made after the determination of the amount of any Excess Contributions for the Plan Year.

(f) Accounting for Excess Aggregate Contributions. The amount of Excess Aggregate Contributions allocated to a Highly Compensated Employee for a Plan Year is attributed to Participating Employer Contributions and any amounts treated as Participating Employer Contributions in proportion to the amounts of such contributions on behalf of the Participant for the Plan Year.

13. Recordkeeping Requirements.

(a) Average Actual Deferral Percentage Tests. The Employer maintains records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Actual Deferral Percentage tests of paragraph 5 of this Appendix for each Plan Year, and the extent to which any Qualified Matching Contributions are treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix for purposes of such tests. The determination of Eligible Employees’ Actual Deferral Percentages, and the disposition of all Pre-Tax Savings (and any Qualified Matching Contributions treated as Pre-Tax Savings under paragraph 7 of this Appendix) on behalf of Participants, must satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury.

(b) Average Contribution Percentage Tests. The Employer maintains records sufficient to demonstrate satisfaction of the Average Contribution Percentage tests of paragraph 9 of this Appendix for each Plan Year, and the extent to which any Pre-Tax Savings are treated as Participating Employer Contributions under paragraph 11 of this Appendix for purposes of such tests. The determination of Eligible Employees’ Average Contribution Percentages, and the disposition of all Participating Employer Contributions (and any Pre-Tax Savings) on behalf of Participants, must satisfy such other requirements as may be prescribed by the Secretary of Treasury.

14. Distribution of Excess Elective Deferrals. Excess Elective Deferrals means Pre-Tax Savings that is includible in a Participant’s gross income under Section 402(g) of the Code to the extent it exceeds the dollar limitation. Excess Elective Deferrals are treated as annual additions under the Plan unless such amounts are distributed no later than the first April 15th following the close of the Participant’s taxable year. Excess Elective Deferrals are adjusted for any income or loss up to the date of distribution as calculated under paragraph 8(e) and 12(d) of this Appendix. A Participant is deemed to notify the Plan Administrator of Excess Elective Deferrals that arise by taking into account only those Elective Deferrals made to this Plan and any other plans of the Employer. A Participant may assign any Excess Elective Deferrals made by the Participant to any other plans other than those of the Employer by notifying the Plan Administrator on or before January 15th of the following year.

15. Safe Harbor Alternative Discrimination Testing. The Average Actual Deferral Percentage Test in section 5, and Average Contribution Percentage Test in section 9 of this Appendix A with respect to Participating Employer Contributions only, will be treated as satisfied for a Plan Year providing the following requirements are met:

44


(a) Participating Employer Contributions equal to 100% of each dollar of Pre-Tax Savings up to six percent of the Participant’s Eligible Compensation are made on behalf of each Participant as described in Section 3(b) of the Plan, or the safe harbor contribution requirements of Section 401(k)(12)(B) or (C) and Section 401(m)(13)(B) are otherwise met;

(b) within the period commencing no earlier than ninety days but no later than thirty days before the beginning of each Plan year, the Plan Administrator provides to each Eligible Employee the written notice described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.401(k)-3 of their rights and obligations under the Plan, including, but not limited to a description of the safe harbor Participating Employer Contributions, withdrawal and vesting provisions; and

(c) the Participating Employer Contributions contributed to the Plan described in subparagraph (a) are nonforfeitable and may not be distributed before the earliest of the following to occur: the Participant’s Severance from Service Date, attainment of age 59  12, or date of the Plan’s termination.

APPENDIX B

CODE SECTION 415 LIMITATIONS

The limitations imposed by Section 415 of the Code are hereby incorporated by reference. If there is any discrepancy between the provisions of this Plan and the provisions of Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder, the discrepancy will be resolved in such a way to give full effect to the provisions of Code Section 415.

The maximum annual additions provided by the Plan will be exactly equal to the maximum amounts permitted under Code Section 415 and the regulations thereunder. In the event a Participant’s annual additions for any Plan Year would exceed the maximum amount of annual additions permitted under Code Section 415, such Participant’s Savings are automatically reduced, in whole or in part, by the amount required to eliminate such excess.

For purposes of applying the limitations described in this Appendix B, compensation will include any differential pay received by a Participant absent for military leave and any payment earned prior to a Participant’s separation from employment that is paid within a period ending on the later of i) two and one-half months following the date the Participant separated from employment, or ii) the end of the Plan Year in which the date the Participant separated from employment (“Post-Separation Compensation”). Post-Separation Compensation will include any payments for vacation, sickness, or leave of absence that otherwise would have been included as compensation had the Participant remained employed.

APPENDIX C

TOP HEAVY RULES

(a) This Plan constitutes a “Top Heavy Plan” for a Plan Year if as of the last day of the preceding Plan Year the present value of the cumulative account balances under the Plan for Participants who are Key Employees exceed 60 percent of the present value of the aggregate of all account balances for all Participants in the Plan. A non-Key Employee means any Participant or former Participant who is not a Key Employee.

(b) This Plan constitutes a Top Heavy Plan for a Plan Year if the employee benefit plans which make up the group of plans of which this Plan is considered a part are such that, when aggregated, the sum of (1) the present value of the account balances of Key Employees under all defined contribution plans in the group, and (2) the present value of the cumulative accrued benefits of Key Employees under all defined benefit plans in the group exceed 60 percent of the sum of such amounts for all employees who participate in the plans in the said group.

(1) The group of plans in which this Plan is considered a part includes (A) all plans of Alcoa, the Subsidiaries and Affiliates which enable the particular plans in which a Key Employee participates to meet the qualification requirement of Section 401(a)(4) of the Code or Section 410 of the Code; and, (B) all plans which Alcoa, in its discretion, decides to include, provided that the inclusion of such plan or plans would not prevent the group of plans from meeting the qualification requirements of Sections 401(a)(4) and 410 of the Code. The date upon which the account balances are valued for purposes of calculating the top heavy ratio to determine whether or not the Plan is Top Heavy for a particular Plan Year is the determination date, which is the last day of the preceding Plan Year, or in the case of the first plan year of any plan, the last day of such plan year.

(2) The amounts of account balances of an employee as of the determination date are increased by the distributions made with respect to the employee under the plan and any plan aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2) of the Code during the one-year period ending on the determination date. The preceding sentence also applies to distributions under a terminated plan which, had it not been terminated, would have been aggregated with the plan under Section 416(g)(2)(A)(i) of the Code. In the case of a distribution made for a reason other than severance from employment, death, or disability, this provision is applied by substituting “five-year period” for “one-year period.”

(3) The accounts of any individual who has not performed services for the employer during the one-year period ending on the determination date are not taken into account.

(c) The following provisions are applicable to Participants for any Plan Year with respect to which the Plan is Top Heavy:

 

Retirement Savings Plan for Salaried Employees of Alcoa USA Corp.

Effective August 1, 2016

 

47


(1) The minimum Participating Employer Contribution for a Participant, who is a non-Key Employee and has not separated from service at the end of the Plan Year, must not be less than three percent of his or her Eligible Compensation for the Top Heavy Plan Year. If said allocation is less than three percent of his or her Eligible Compensation, then said allocation is the largest percentage allocated to a Key Employee for the Top Heavy Plan Year. In the event the highest rate allocated to a Key Employee for the Top Heavy Plan Year is less than three percent, Pre-Tax amounts contributed to the Plan are included in determining contributions made on behalf of Key Employees. Compensation for determining a minimum benefit, a minimum contribution and for all other Top Heavy purposes is the Participant’s W-2 earnings for the calendar year that ends with the Plan Year.

Participating Employer Contributions used to satisfy the minimum contribution requirements are treated as Participating Employer Contributions for purposes of the actual contribution percentage test and other requirements of Section 401(m) of the Code.

(2) With respect to benefits accruing during any Plan Year in which the Plan is Top Heavy, average compensation is limited to amounts not in excess of the amount permitted under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code. If the accrued benefit as of the end of the last Plan Year before the Plan became Top Heavy is greater than the accrued benefit determined by limiting compensation, that higher accrued benefit cannot be reduced.

(3) In the event the Plan is Top Heavy with respect to a Plan Year and ceases to be Top Heavy for a subsequent Plan Year, the Participant’s account balance in any such subsequent Plan Year is not less than the Participant’s Pre-Tax Savings (subject to adjustment for earnings) computed as of the end of the most recent Plan Year for which the Plan was Top Heavy.

(d) Notwithstanding any of the above, if a non-Key Employee participates in this Plan and a defined benefit pension plan included in a required aggregation group which is top heavy, a minimum allocation of five percent of Section 415 compensation is provided under this Plan. The Plan will not be deemed Top Heavy if ninety percent is substituted for sixty percent in (b)(1) of this Appendix and Participating Employer provides additional contributions to the Plan on behalf of non-Key Employees who participate in both defined benefit and defined contribution plans maintained by a Participating Employer, in amounts at least equal to the amount set forth in Paragraph (c)(1) of this Appendix as modified by substituting “seven and one-half percent” for “three percent.” If the non-Key Employee does not participate in a defined benefit plan maintained by Alcoa, a Subsidiary or Affiliate, such employee will receive an additional contribution of four percent.

(e) For Plan Years in which the Plan meets the safe harbor alternative method of discrimination testing described in Paragraph 16 of Appendix A, the term “Top Heavy Plan” described in this Appendix C does not apply.

APPENDIX D

MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS

Section 1. General Rules

1.1. Purpose. The provisions of this Appendix D will apply for purposes of determining required minimum distributions for calendar years.

1.2. Precedence. The requirements of this Appendix D will take precedence over any inconsistent provisions of the Plan.

1.3. Requirements of Treasury Regulations Incorporated. All distributions required under this Appendix D will be determined and made in accordance with section 401(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and Treasury regulations §§1.401)(a)(9)-2 through -9, which will override any inconsistent distribution provisions of the Plan. Distribution of any incidental death benefit requirements provided under the Plan will be a distribution for purposes of this Appendix D.

1.4. TEFRA Section 242(b)(2) Elections. Notwithstanding the other provisions of this Appendix D, distributions may be made under a designation made before January 1, 1984, in accordance with section 242(b)(2) of the Tax Equity and Fiscal Responsibility Act (TEFRA) and the provisions of the Plan that relate to section 242(b)(2) of TEFRA.

Section 2. Time and Manner of Distribution.

 

2.1. Required Beginning Date. The Participant’s entire interest will be distributed, or begin to be distributed, to the Participant no later than the Participant’s required beginning date.

2.2. Death of Participant Before Distributions Begin. If the Participant dies before distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed to the designated Beneficiary by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death. If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary and the surviving spouse dies after the Participant but before distributions to either the Participant or the surviving spouse begin, this election will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant. This election will apply to all distributions.

If there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, the Participant’s entire interest will be distributed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

2.3. Forms of Distribution. Unless the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company or in a single sum on or before the required beginning date, as of the first distribution calendar year distributions will be made in accordance with sections 3 and 4 of this Appendix D. If the Participant’s interest is distributed in the form of an annuity purchased from an insurance company, distributions thereunder will be made in accordance with the requirements of section 40l(a)(9) of the Code and the Treasury regulations.

Section 3. Required Minimum Distributions During Participant’s Lifetime.

3.1. Amount of Required Minimum Distribution For Each Distribution Calendar Year. During the Participant’s lifetime, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year is the lesser of:

(a) the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the distribution period in the Uniform Lifetime Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s age as of the Participant’s birthday in the distribution calendar year; or

(b) if the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary for the distribution calendar year is the Participant’s spouse, the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the number in the Joint and Last Survivor Table set forth in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations, using the Participant’s and spouse’s attained ages as of the Participant’s and spouse’s birthdays in the distribution calendar year.

3.2. Lifetime Required Minimum Distributions Continue Through Year of Participant’s Death. Required minimum distributions will be determined under this section 3 beginning with the first distribution calendar year and up to and including the distribution calendar year that includes the Participant’s date of death

Section 4. Required Minimum Distributions After Participant’s Death.

4.1. Death On or After Date Distributions Begin.

(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the longer of the remaining life expectancy of the Participant or the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, determined as follows:

(1) The Participant’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(2) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death using the surviving spouse’s age as of the spouse’s birthday in that year. For distribution calendar years after the year of the surviving spouse’s death, the remaining life expectancy of the surviving spouse is calculated using the age of the surviving spouse as of the spouse’s birthday in the calendar year of the spouse’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent calendar year.

(3) If the Participant’s surviving spouse is not the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary’s remaining life expectancy is calculated using the age of the Beneficiary in the year following the year of the Participant’s death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

(b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies on or after the date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year after the year of the Participant’s death, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the Participant’s remaining life expectancy calculated using the age of the Participant in the year of death, reduced by one for each subsequent year.

4.2. Death Before Date Distributions Begin.

(a) Participant Survived by Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is a designated Beneficiary, the minimum amount that will be distributed for each distribution calendar year after the year of the Participant’s death is the quotient obtained by dividing the Participant’s account balance by the remaining life expectancy of the Participant’s designated Beneficiary, determined as provided in section 4.1.

(b) No Designated Beneficiary. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin and there is no designated Beneficiary as of September 30 of the year following the year of the Participant’s death, distribution of the Participant’s entire interest will be completed by December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the Participant’s death.

(c) Death of Surviving Spouse Before Distributions to Surviving Spouse Are Required to Begin. If the Participant dies before the date distributions begin, the Participant’s surviving spouse is the Participant’s sole designated Beneficiary, and the surviving spouse dies before distributions are required to begin to the surviving spouse under section 2.2, this section 4.2 will apply as if the surviving spouse were the Participant.

Section 5. Definitions.

5.1. Designated Beneficiary. The individual who is designated as the Beneficiary under Section 22 of the Plan and is the designated Beneficiary under section 40l(a)(9) of the Internal Revenue Code and section 1.401(a)(9)-1, Q&A-4, of the Treasury regulations.

5.2. Distribution calendar year. A calendar year for which a minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning before the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the calendar year which contains the Participant’s required beginning date. For distributions beginning after the Participant’s death, the first distribution calendar year is the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin under section 2.2. The required minimum distribution for the Participant’s first distribution calendar year will be made on or before the Participant’s required beginning date. The required minimum distribution for other distribution calendar years, including the required minimum distribution for the distribution calendar year in which the Participant’s required beginning date occurs, will be made on or before December 31 of that distribution calendar year.

5.3. Life expectancy. Life expectancy as computed by use of the Single Life Table in section 1.401(a)(9)-9 of the Treasury regulations.

5.4. Participant’s account balance. The account balance as of the last valuation date in the calendar year immediately preceding the distribution calendar year (valuation calendar year) increased by the amount of any contributions made and allocated or forfeitures allocated to the account balance as of dates in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date and decreased by distributions made in the valuation calendar year after the valuation date. The account balance for the valuation calendar year includes any amounts rolled over or transferred to the Plan either in the valuation calendar year or in the distribution calendar year if distributed or transferred in the valuation calendar year.

5.5 Required beginning date. The date specified in section 13(b) of the Plan.

Plans, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of common stock of the Company.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares under the 1933 Act. In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.

Very truly yours,
