Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 1, 2025, Alcoa Corporation (“Alcoa” or the “Company”) issued a press release announcing the closing of the Company's sale of its full ownership interest of 25.1% in the Ma’aden joint venture to Saudi Arabian Mining Company (“Ma’aden”), pursuant to a binding share purchase and subscription agreement (the “Agreement”). Alcoa received proceeds of approximately 86 million shares of Ma’aden (valued at approximately $1.2 billion) and $150 million in cash (to be used primarily for related taxes and transaction costs) and expects to record a gain of approximately $780 million in other income in the third quarter of 2025. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Alcoa will hold its Ma’aden shares for a minimum of three years and can sell one-third of the shares after each of the third, fourth and fifth anniversaries of closing of the transaction (the “holding period”). During the holding period, Alcoa is permitted, under certain conditions, to hedge and borrow against its Ma’aden shares. Under certain circumstances, such minimum holding period can be reduced.
A copy of the press release is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
