Item 1.01.		Entry into Material Definitive Agreements.

Novelis Inc. (the “Company”) purchases a large quantity of its primary aluminum supply, including re-melt ingot, molten metal and sheet ingot in North America and Europe on terms and conditions that were originally determined primarily by Rio Tinto Alcan Inc. (“Alcan”), formerly Alcan Inc., which spun-off the Company in 2005. On February 26, 2008, the parties agreed to amend and restate four existing multi-year metal supply agreements, which took effect as of January 1, 2008.

The amended and restated metal supply agreement for the supply of remelt aluminum ingot amends and restates the supply agreement dated January 5, 2005 between the parties. This amended agreement extends the term, establishes an annual quantity of remelt ingot to be supplied and purchased subject to adjustment, establishes certain delivery requirements, changes certain pricing provisions, and revises certain payment terms, among other standard terms and conditions.

The amended and restated molten metal supply agreement for the supply of molten metal to the Company’s Saguenay Works Facility amends and restates the supply agreement dated January 5, 2005 between the parties. This amended agreement changes certain pricing provisions, and revises certain payment terms, among other standard terms and conditions.

The amended and restated metal supply agreement for the supply of sheet ingot in North America amends and restates the supply agreement dated January 5, 2005 between the parties. This amended agreement extends the term, establishes an annual quantity of sheet ingot to be supplied and purchased subject to adjustment, changes certain pricing provisions, and revises certain payment terms, among other standard terms and conditions.

The amended and restated metal supply agreement for the supply of sheet ingot in Europe amends and restates the supply agreement dated January 5, 2005 between the parties. This amended agreement extends the term, establishes an annual quantity of sheet ingot to be supplied and purchased subject to adjustment, and changes certain pricing provisions, among other standard terms and conditions.

The above descriptions of the amended and restated metal supply agreements are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of those agreements, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2008, with portions omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment.
