(NOVELIS LOGO)
February 11, 2007
Dear Novelis Team:
Today we announced that we have agreed to be acquired by Hindalco Industries Ltd. whereby Hindalco will pay approximately $6 Bn for Novelis. Hindalco is India’s largest non-ferrous metals company and the flagship company of the Aditya Birla Group, one of the top three and most well respected global business groups in India.
Upon shareholder and regulatory approvals, we will become part of Hindalco, which is already one of the biggest producers of primary aluminum in Asia, and will be the world’s largest aluminum rolling company.
This presents an exciting new opportunity for all of us. We will be a much stronger company, committed to being a premium metals supplier, and ideally positioned to serve the growing demands of the Asian marketplace. Hindalco believes in our promising future — our growth strategy in high-value markets. Also, they have a global vision and set of values that are well aligned with ours.
We currently expect the transaction to be completed in the second quarter. There are many details that have not yet been finalized. I will endeavor to keep you updated as key developments unfold.
Until the transaction is completed, please remember that we are separate companies and our focus must remain on Novelis’ objective of providing our customers the highest quality rolled aluminum. I am also counting on each of you to embody our values, especially safety, as you maintain focus on delivering on our objectives.
Sincerely,
Ed Blechschmidt
Acting CEO
Novelis Inc.
