Alcoa Issues Response Following Change to DJIA

The composition of the Dow Jones Industrial Average has no impact on Alcoa's AA ability to successfully execute our strategy, and we remain focused on delivering shareholder value. We continue to grow our value-add businesses and capture growth opportunities in end markets like aerospace and automotive. At the same time we are optimizing our upstream competitiveness. We are focused on the things we can control, pressing our innovation edge and strong position in end markets, while lowering our cost position in our commodity business.
