This is an historic moment for RTI.
This morning we announced that RTI has entered into a
definitive agreement to be acquired by Alcoa, a $24 billion
company with a more than 125-year history, as part of a $1.5
billion deal.
Alcoas offer confirms the value we have worked so hard to
create. Alcoa will acquire all outstanding shares of RTI in a
stock-for-stock transaction where RTI shareholders will
receive 2.8315 Alcoa shares for each RTI share,
representing a value of $41 per RTI share based on Alcoas
closing price on March 6, 2015.
This transaction is a great fit of resources, capabilities and
strategy
that
will
benefit
both
companies
shareholders,
customers and employees worldwide.
The Announcement |

We have completed due diligence, and our boards have approved
a definitive agreement.
This transaction will not be finalized immediately, nor can we
communicate all details immediately. We are working to
accomplish required regulatory filings.
We must set a date for our shareholders to vote to approve the
transaction.
We anticipate the transaction will close in late spring or early
summer.
You will receive regular updates regarding the status of the
transaction through its closing, beginning with a joint Alcoa/RTI
webcast at 11:00 a.m. this morning.
The Process |

We will continue to do business as usual
and remain
focused on driving our strategic initiatives.
We must deliver the same quality, service and financial
performance that we outlined in our 2015 operating plan.
RTIs bonus plan provides for a quarterly payment based on
achievement of our operating plan targets. These payments
should serve as a retention incentive and a motivator to
continue running our business to our usual standards of
excellence.
You will be provided with key messages to assist you in
communications with your team members, customers and
suppliers.

Alcoa has acquired us as an ongoing concern.
When the transaction closes, the name on the door will change, but we
will continue to do business.
With Alcoa, RTI will take its innovative technologies to the next level
and deliver even more value-added titanium and specialty metals
solutions.

and similar expressions
to identify these forward-looking statements that are intended to be covered by the safe
harbor provisions of the PSLRA. Actual results could differ materially from the
results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including: the risk
that the businesses will not be integrated successfully; the risk that the cost savings and any
other synergies from the transaction may not be fully realized or may take longer to
realize than expected; restrictions imposed by outstanding indebtedness; worldwide and
regional economic, business, and political conditions; changes in customer demand and

proprietary know-how; ability to attract and retain key personnel; escalation in the cost of
providing employee health care; disruption from the transaction making it more difficult to
maintain relationships with customers, employees or suppliers; the failure to obtain
governmental approvals of the transaction on the proposed terms and schedule, and any
conditions imposed on the combined company in connection with consummation of the merger; the
failure to obtain approval of the merger by the requisite vote of the shareholders of RTI
and the failure to satisfy various other conditions to the closing of the merger
