The tender offers and consent solicitations are subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions as described in the Offer to Purchase, including (1) the receipt of at least $4 billion in gross proceeds from one or more offerings of senior notes and the entry into of new senior secured credit facilities (a) to refinance the Notes and Novelis’ existing senior secured credit facilities and (b) to fund a distribution to return capital to Novelis’ parent company, and (2) the receipt by Novelis of the consents of holders holding at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the applicable series of Notes, and the execution of the applicable supplemental indenture giving effect to the proposed amendments to the indentures, in each case as described in more detail in the Offer to Purchase. If any of the conditions are not satisfied, Novelis may terminate the applicable tender offer and return tendered Notes, may waive unsatisfied conditions and accept for payment and purchase all validly tendered Notes, may waive unsatisfied conditions and accept for payment and purchase all validly tendered Notes that are not validly withdrawn, may extend the applicable tender offer or may otherwise amend the applicable tender offer.

The “Total Consideration” for each $1,000 principal amount of 7.25% Notes and each $1,000 principal amount of 11.50% Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable tender offer will be an amount equal to $1,030.00 and $1,235.00, respectively, payable in cash to holders that validly tender their Notes at or prior to the Consent Deadline, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

Holders of Notes validly tendered after the Consent Deadline will not receive a Consent Payment.

Notes validly tendered prior to the Consent Deadline may be validly withdrawn and the related consents may be validly revoked at any time at or prior to the Consent Deadline. Notes validly tendered prior to the Consent Deadline and the related consents may not be validly withdrawn or validly revoked after the Consent Deadline.

The proposed amendments would amend each applicable indenture in order to eliminate or modify substantially all restrictive covenants, certain events of default and other provisions contained in each such indenture. Holders may not deliver consents to the proposed amendments without validly tendering the related Notes in the applicable tender offer and may not revoke their consents without withdrawing the previously tendered Notes to which they relate. In order for the proposed amendments to be effective, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of each series of Notes must consent to the proposed amendments.

If any Notes remain outstanding following completion of the tender offers, Novelis intends to promptly redeem such Notes in accordance with the terms of the Notes and the indentures governing the Notes.

The complete terms and conditions of each tender offer are set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal that are being sent to holders of the Notes. Holders are urged to read the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal carefully when they become available.
