Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Article V of the By-Laws of Alcoa provides that Alcoa shall indemnify, under specified circumstances, persons who were or are directors, officers or employees of Alcoa or who served or serve other business entities at the request of Alcoa. Under these By-Law provisions, a person who is wholly successful in defending a claim will be indemnified for any reasonable expenses. To the extent a person is not successful in defending a claim, reasonable expenses of the defense and any liability incurred are to be indemnified under these provisions only where independent legal counsel or another disinterested person selected by the board of directors determines that such person acted in good faith and in a manner such person reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interests of Alcoa, and in addition with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the conduct of such person was unlawful. Any expense incurred with respect to any claim may be advanced by Alcoa if the recipient agrees to repay such amount if it is ultimately determined that such recipient is not to be indemnified pursuant to Article V.

The foregoing By-Law provisions generally parallel Sections 1741 and 1745 of the Pennsylvania Business Corporation Law (“PBCL”). Section 1746 and the By-Laws both also provide that the indemnification provided for therein shall not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which those seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.

Section 1746 of the PBCL and the By-Laws provide for increased indemnification protections for directors, officers and others. Indemnification may be provided by Pennsylvania corporations in any case except where the act or failure to act giving rise to the claim for indemnification is determined by a court to have constituted willful misconduct or recklessness.

Section 1713 of the PBCL also sets forth a framework whereby Pennsylvania corporations, with the approval of the shareholders, may limit the personal liability of directors for monetary damages except where the act or omission giving rise to a claim constitutes self-dealing, willful misconduct or recklessness. The section does not apply to a director’s responsibility or liability under a criminal or tax statute and may not apply to liability under Federal statutes, such as the Federal securities laws.

Alcoa’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws were amended by the shareholders to implement the increased protections made available to directors under the PBCL as described in the preceding paragraph. Article VIII of the By-Laws provides that, except as prohibited by law, every director of Alcoa shall be entitled as of right to be indemnified by Alcoa for expenses and any and all liability paid or incurred by such person by reason of such person being or having been a director of Alcoa. Expenses incurred with respect to any claim may be advanced by Alcoa, subject to certain exceptions. The shareholders have also approved a form of indemnity agreement. Alcoa has entered into such an indemnity agreement with each of its current directors and officers.

Alcoa has purchased a directors and officers liability insurance policy with an aggregate limit of $500 million for liability of directors and officers. The insurance includes within that limit $250 million of coverage, subject to a retention, for reimbursement to Alcoa for indemnification provided to directors and officers. The policy has an expiration date of October 1, 2013 and provides liability insurance and reimbursement coverage for Alcoa, and its directors and officers that is permitted by the laws of Pennsylvania.

The Articles of Incorporation provide that except as prohibited by law, Alcoa may indemnify any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of Alcoa or is or was serving at the request of Alcoa as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, including, without limitation, any employee benefit plan, and may take such steps as may be deemed appropriate by the board of directors, including purchasing and maintaining insurance, entering into contracts, including, without limitation, contracts of indemnification between Alcoa and its directors and officers, creating a trust fund, granting security interests or using other means, including, without limitation, a letter of credit to ensure the payment of such amounts as may be necessary to effect such indemnification. The By-Laws provide for indemnification of such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law.

 

3


The Articles of Incorporation also provide that to the fullest extent that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania permit elimination or limitation of the liability of directors, no director of Alcoa shall be personally liable for monetary damages for any action taken, or any failure to take any action.

For the undertaking with respect to indemnification, see Item 9 herein.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended;

(ii) to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii) to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

 

4


provided, however, that paragraphs (i) and (ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

New York, New York 10022-4608

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished in connection with the registration by Alcoa Inc. (the “Company”) pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), of an aggregate of 55,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of common stock of the Company, par value $1.00 per share (“Common Stock”), that are to be offered and sold by the Company through the 2013 Alcoa Stock Incentive Plan (the “2013 Plan”).

As a Counsel of the Company, I am of the opinion, based upon my familiarity with the affairs of the Company and upon my examination of the law and pertinent documents, that the Shares, when issued and sold pursuant to the 2013 Plan, will be legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock of the Company.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) as an Exhibit to the Registration Statement with respect to the Shares under the 1933 Act. In giving this consent, I do not admit that I am in the category of persons whose consent is required under Section 7 of the 1933 Act or the Rules and Regulations of the Commission issued thereunder.

 

Very truly yours,
