Prospectus Supplement
(To Prospectus dated July 30, 2014)

Alcoa Inc.
$1,250,000,000 5.125% Notes due 2024

We are offering $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.125% notes due 2024 (the "Notes"). The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 5.125% per
year. We will pay interest on the Notes semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning April 1, 2015. The Notes will mature on
October 1, 2024, unless earlier repurchased or redeemed.
The Notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with all of our other existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated
indebtedness.
This offering is part of the financing for the Acquisition (as defined herein) and related fees and expenses. We expect the remainder of the funds for the
Acquisition to come from the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering, as defined herein, if completed, or we may also borrow under the Bridge
Facility (as defined herein) or our revolving credit facilities or issue commercial paper to finance the Acquisition if this offering or the Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock Offering are not completed or if the net proceeds from this offering and the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering are less than the
aggregate amount of the cash purchase price of the Acquisition and related fees and expenses. For a more detailed discussion, see "Use of Proceeds." This
offering is not contingent on the completion of the Acquisition, which, if completed, will occur subsequent to the closing of this offering. In the event that the
Acquisition is not completed on or before April 1, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), or, if prior to such time, the Purchase Agreement (as defined
herein) is terminated, other than in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition and is not otherwise amended or replaced, we will be required to
redeem the Notes, in whole but not in part, as described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of the Notes--Mandatory Redemption Upon
Acquisition Termination." Additionally, we may redeem the Notes at our option prior to maturity, in whole or in part, at any time at the redemption prices
described in this prospectus supplement under "Description of the Notes--Optional Redemption." If we experience a change of control repurchase event, we
may be required to offer to purchase the Notes from holders.
As previously announced, we are offering, by means of a separate prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus, 25,000,000 depositary shares (or
28,750,000 depositary shares if the underwriters exercise in full their overallotment option to purchase additional depositary shares), each representing a 1/10th
interest in a share of 5.375% Class B Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 1 (such offering, the "Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering").
The Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering is expected to close on September 22, 2014. This offering is not contingent on the completion of the
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering or on the completion of the Acquisition. This prospectus supplement is not an offer to sell or a solicitation of
an offer to buy any securities being offered in the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering.

Investing in the Notes involves risks. See "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-8 of this prospectus supplement.
Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or
determined if this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offense.

In any European Economic Area Member State that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (a "Relevant Member State"), this

Directive.
This prospectus supplement and accompanying prospectus have been prepared on the basis that any offer of the Notes in any Relevant

Notes. Accordingly, any person making or intending to make any offer within the European Economic Area of the Notes, which are the subject of
the offering contemplated in this prospectus supplement, may only do so in circumstances in which no obligation arises for Alcoa or any of the
underwriters to publish a prospectus pursuant to Article 3 of the Prospectus Directive in relation to such offer. Neither Alcoa nor the underwriters
have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer of the Notes in circumstances in which an obligation arises for Alcoa or the
underwriters to publish a prospectus for such offer.

the 2010 PD Amending Directive, to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State), and includes any relevant implementing measure in

circumstances in which the prior consent of the underwriters has been given to the offer or resale; or (ii) where the Notes have been
acquired by it on behalf of persons in any Relevant Member State other than qualified investors, the offer of those Notes to it is not

NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus contain or incorporate by reference "forward-looking statements" within the
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking
statements include those containing such words as "anticipates," "believes," "estimates," "expects," "forecasts," "intends," "outlook," "plans,"
"projects," "should," "targets," "will," or other words of similar meaning. All statements that reflect Alcoa's expectations, assumptions, or
projections about the future other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, forecasts
concerning aluminum industry growth or other trend projections, anticipated financial results or operating performance, targeted or planned
schedules for completion and start-up of growth projects, statements regarding the proposed acquisition of the Firth Rixson business, including the
expected benefits of the transaction, expected synergies, and expected timing of the closing of the transaction, and statements about Alcoa's
strategies, objectives, goals, targets, outlook, and business and financial prospects. Forward-looking statements are subject to a number of known
and unknown risks, uncertainties, and other factors and are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results, performance, or outcomes may
differ materially from those expressed in or implied by those forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include:

· material adverse changes in aluminum industry conditions, including global supply and demand conditions and fluctuations in London

Metal Exchange-based prices, and premiums, as applicable, for primary aluminum, alumina, and other products, and fluctuations in
index-based and spot prices for alumina;

· global economic and financial market conditions generally, including the risk of another global economic downturn and uncertainties

regarding the effects of sovereign debt issues or government intervention into the markets to address economic conditions;

· unfavorable changes in the markets served by Alcoa, including automotive and commercial transportation, aerospace, building and

construction, packaging, oil and gas, defense, and industrial gas turbine;

· the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on costs and results, particularly the Australian dollar, Brazilian real,

Canadian dollar, euro, and Norwegian kroner;

· increases in energy costs, including electricity, natural gas, and fuel oil, or the unavailability or interruption of energy supplies;

· increases in the costs of other raw materials, including caustic soda or carbon products;

· Alcoa's inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, improvement in profitability and margins, fiscal
discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations (including moving its alumina refining and aluminum smelting businesses

down on the industry cost curves and increasing revenues and improving margins in its Global Rolled Products and Engineered
Products and Solutions segments) anticipated from its restructuring programs, cash sustainability, productivity improvement, and other
initiatives;

· Alcoa's inability to realize expected benefits, in each case as planned and by targeted completion dates, from sales of non-core assets,

or from newly constructed, expanded, or acquired facilities, including facilities supplying auto sheet capacity or aluminum-lithium
capacity, or from international joint ventures, including the joint venture in Saudi Arabia;

· Alcoa's failure to successfully implement, or to realize expected benefits from, new technologies, processes, equipment or innovative

products, whether due to competitive developments, changes in the regulatory environment, trends and developments in the aerospace,
metals engineering and manufacturing sectors, or other factors;

S-v
Table of Contents
· political, economic, and regulatory risks in the countries in which Alcoa operates or sells products, including unfavorable changes in

laws and governmental policies, civil unrest, imposition of sanctions, expropriation of assets, and other events beyond Alcoa's control;

· the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings, government investigations, and environmental remediation;

· the outcome of negotiations with, the potential loss of, and the business or financial condition of, key customers, suppliers, and business

partners;

· adverse changes in tax rates or benefits;

· adverse changes in discount rates or investment returns on pension assets;

· the impact of cyber attacks and potential information technology or data security breaches;

· unexpected events, unplanned outages, supply disruptions, or failure of equipment or processes to meet specifications;

· risks associated with large infrastructure construction projects;

· the risk that the Firth Rixson business will not be integrated successfully or that such integration may be more difficult, time-

consuming or costly than expected, which could result in additional demands on Alcoa's resources, systems, procedures and controls,
disruption of its ongoing business and diversion of management's attention from other business concerns;

· failure to receive, delays in the receipt of, or unacceptable or burdensome conditions imposed in connection with, all required

regulatory approvals and the satisfaction of the closing conditions to the proposed acquisition of the Firth Rixson business; and

· the potential failure to retain key employees of Alcoa or Firth Rixson as a result of the proposed transaction or during integration of the

businesses.
The above list of factors is not exhaustive or necessarily in order of importance. Additional information concerning factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include those discussed under "Risk Factors" beginning on page S-8 of
this prospectus supplement, in "Forward-Looking Statements" beginning on page 5 of the accompanying prospectus, and in our periodic reports
referred to in "Where You Can Find More Information" above, including the risk factors summarized in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
year ended December 31, 2013 and our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the quarters ended March 31, 2014 and June 30, 2014. Alcoa
disclaims any intention or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether in response to new information, future events, or
otherwise, except as required by applicable law.

PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT SUMMARY
This summary contains basic information about us and the offering. Because it is a summary, it does not contain all of the information
that you should consider before making an investment decision. You should read this entire prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus carefully, including the section entitled "Risk Factors," our financial statements and the notes thereto incorporated by reference
into this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, and the other documents incorporated by reference into this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus, before making an investment decision. For a more detailed description of the offering, please
refer to the section entitled "Description of the Notes."
ALCOA INC.
Formed in 1888, Alcoa is a Pennsylvania corporation with its principal office at 390 Park Avenue, New York, New York 10022-4608
(telephone number (212) 836-2600).
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/4281/000119312514345577/d789004d424b5.htm[9/18/2014 3:58:45 PM]

Prospectus Supplement
A global leader in lightweight metals technology, engineering and manufacturing, Alcoa innovates multi-material solutions that advance
our world. Our technologies enhance transportation, from automotive and commercial transport to air and space travel, and improve industrial
and consumer electronics products. We enable smart buildings, sustainable food and beverage packaging, high-performance defense vehicles
across air, land and sea, deeper oil and gas drilling and more efficient power generation. We pioneered the aluminum industry over 125 years
ago, and today, our 60,000 people in 30 countries deliver value-add products made of titanium, nickel and aluminum, and produce bauxite,
alumina and primary aluminum products.
Alcoa is a global company operating in 30 countries. Based upon the country where the point of sale occurred, the U.S. and Europe
generated 51% and 26%, respectively, of Alcoa's sales in 2013. In addition, Alcoa has investments and operating activities in, among others,
Australia, Brazil, China, Guinea, Iceland, Russia, and Saudi Arabia, all of which present opportunities for substantial growth. Governmental
policies, laws and regulations, and other economic factors, including inflation and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates and interest
rates, affect the results of operations in these countries.
Alcoa's Portfolio Transformation
Alcoa is continuing to execute on its strategy of transforming its portfolio by growing its value-add business to capture profitable growth
as a lightweight metals innovation leader and by creating a lower cost, competitive commodity business. We are investing in our value-add
manufacturing and engineering businesses to capture growth opportunities in strong end markets like automotive and aerospace. We also are
building out our value-add businesses, including by introducing innovative new products and technology solutions, and investing in
expansions of value-add capacity. From time to time, we also pursue growth opportunities that are strategically aligned with our objectives,
such as the acquisition of the Firth Rixson business discussed below. In addition, we are optimizing our rolling mill portfolio as part of our
strategy for profitable growth in our midstream business. At the same time, we are creating a competitive commodity business by taking
decisive actions to lower the cost base of our upstream operations, closing or curtailing high-cost global smelting capacity, optimizing alumina
refining capacity, and pursuing the sale of our interest in certain other operations as we continually review our portfolio. For example, on
August 25, 2014, we announced the permanent closure of our Portovesme primary aluminum smelter in Italy, which has been curtailed since
November 2012, because it is one of the highest cost smelters in the Alcoa system and not competitive.
The Acquisition
On June 25, 2014, we entered into an agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") with FR Acquisition Corporation (US), Inc., FR
Acquisitions Corporation (Europe) Limited, FR Acquisition Finance Subco (Luxembourg), S.à.r.l. (the "Seller"), and Oak Hill Capital Partners
III, L.P. and Oak Hill Capital Management

S-1
Table of Contents
Partners III, L.P. (collectively, the "Seller Representative"), to acquire the Firth Rixson business for an aggregate purchase price of $2.85
billion (the "Acquisition"), consisting of $500 million of our common stock (equivalent to 36,523,010 shares at a per share price of $13.69, as
determined in the Purchase Agreement) and $2.35 billion in cash, subject to a customary post-closing adjustment based on, among other
things, the amount of cash, debt and working capital in the Firth Rixson business at the closing date. In connection with the pending
Acquisition, on July 25, 2014, we entered into a 364-Day Bridge Term Loan Agreement providing for a $2.5 billion senior unsecured bridge
term loan facility (the "Bridge Facility").
Firth Rixson is a global leader in aerospace jet engine components and provides engineered products to the aerospace sector and other
industries requiring highly engineered material applications. The purpose of the Acquisition is to strengthen our aerospace business and
position us to capture additional aerospace growth with a broader range of high-growth, value-add jet engine components. The Acquisition is
strategically aligned with Alcoa's objective to continue to build our value-add businesses. The transaction is subject to customary conditions
and regulatory approvals and is expected to close by the end of 2014.
In connection with the Purchase Agreement, we also entered into an Earnout Agreement, dated as of June 25, 2014, with the Seller and
the Seller Representative, pursuant to which we agreed to make earn-out payments up to an aggregate maximum amount of $150 million to
the Seller, beginning after the closing of the Acquisition until December 31, 2020, with the amount of such payments to be determined based
on the post-closing financial performance of Firth Rixson's Savannah, Georgia facility.
We intend to use the net proceeds of this offering and, if completed, the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering to finance the
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/4281/000119312514345577/d789004d424b5.htm[9/18/2014 3:58:45 PM]

Prospectus Supplement
Acquisition and pay related fees and expenses. However, this offering is not contingent upon the completion of the Acquisition, which, if
completed, will occur subsequent to the closing of this offering. We may also borrow under the Bridge Facility or our revolving credit
facilities or issue commercial paper to finance the Acquisition if this offering or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering is not
completed or if the net proceeds from the offerings are less than the aggregate amount of the cash purchase price of the Acquisition and related
fees and expenses. For a more detailed discussion, see "Use of Proceeds."
We cannot assure you that the Acquisition will be completed or, if completed, that it will be completed within the time period or on the
terms and with the anticipated benefits contemplated by this prospectus supplement. The Purchase Agreement is included as Exhibit 2.1 to our
Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on June 27, 2014, which is incorporated by reference herein. See "Risk Factors--Risks
Related to Our Pending Acquisition of Firth Rixson."
Financing of the Acquisition
In addition to this offering, we expect to obtain additional financing for the Acquisition and related fees and expenses as described
below.
Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering. As previously announced, we are offering, by means of a separate prospectus
supplement and accompanying prospectus, 25,000,000 depositary shares (or 28,750,000 shares if the underwriters exercise in full their
overallotment option to purchase additional depositary shares), each representing a 1/10th interest in a share of 5.375% Class B Mandatory
Convertible Preferred Stock, Series 1 in the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering. This prospectus supplement is not an offer to
sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any securities being offered in the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering.
We expect the remainder of the funds for the Acquisition to come from the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering, if
completed, or we may also borrow under the Bridge Facility or our revolving credit facilities or issue commercial paper to finance the
Acquisition if this offering or the Mandatory Convertible

Table of Contents
Preferred Stock Offering is not completed or if the net proceeds from this offering and the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering are
less than the aggregate amount of the cash purchase price of the Acquisition and related fees and expenses.
If the Acquisition is not completed on or before April 1, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time), or, if prior to such time, the Purchase
Agreement is terminated, other than in connection with the consummation of the Acquisition and is not otherwise amended or replaced, the
Notes issued in this offering will be required to be redeemed, in whole but not in part. Additionally, if the Acquisition is not completed on or
before April 1, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) or, if the Purchase Agreement is terminated or we determine in our reasonable
judgment that the Acquisition will not occur, we will have the option, but will not be required, to redeem the depositary shares representing
the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock, in whole but not in part, at a redemption price equal to $505 per share of Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock (equivalent to $50.50 per depositary share) plus accumulated and unpaid dividends to the date of redemption or, in certain
circumstances, at an early redemption price that includes a make-whole adjustment. Accordingly, if the Acquisition does not occur, the Notes
issued in this offering will not remain outstanding and, if we exercise our option to redeem the depositary shares pursuant to the Mandatory
Convertible Preferred Stock Offering, the depositary shares will not remain outstanding. See "Risk Factors--Risks Related to Our Pending
Acquisition of Firth Rixson."
The completion of this offering is not contingent upon completion of the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering or the
Acquisition. We cannot assure you that we will complete this offering or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering on the terms
contemplated by this prospectus supplement or at all.

Further Issuances
We may create and issue further notes ranking equally and ratably with the Notes
offered by this prospectus supplement in all respects, so that such further notes will be
consolidated and form a single series with the Notes offered by this prospectus
supplement and have the same terms as to status, redemption or otherwise as the Notes

Other than as described in the accompanying prospectus under "Description of Senior

immediately due and payable. These amounts automatically become due and payable if

Ranking
The Notes will be our general unsecured obligations that will rank senior in right of
payment to any of our future indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of

Prospectus Supplement
payment to the Notes and equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future
unsecured indebtedness and liabilities that are not so subordinated. The Notes will
effectively rank junior to any secured indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the
value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and will be effectively subordinated to
all debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.

As of June 30, 2014, we had a total of approximately $8.1 billion of outstanding
indebtedness, including long-term debt and short-term debt, which amount does not
include the debt we expect to incur in connection with this offering. Approximately
$620 million of that amount was indebtedness to third parties of our subsidiaries, which

is structurally senior to the Notes because it consists of obligations at the subsidiary
level. We also have and, following this offering and the Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock Offering, expect to have the ability to incur a substantial amount of
additional indebtedness, including under our revolving credit facilities.

Use of Proceeds
We estimate that the net proceeds to us from this offering, after deducting estimated
underwriting discount and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us,
will be approximately $1.2 billion.

We intend to use the net proceeds from this offering, together with, if completed,
estimated net proceeds of $1.2 billion from the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock
Offering (assuming no exercise of the overallotment option that we granted to the
underwriters in the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering) to finance the
Acquisition and pay related fees and expenses. We may also borrow under the Bridge
Facility or our revolving credit facilities or issue commercial paper to finance the

Acquisition if this offering or the Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock Offering is not
completed or if the net proceeds from this offering and the Mandatory Convertible
Preferred Stock Offering are less than the aggregate amount of the cash purchase price
of the Acquisition and related fees and expenses. If the Acquisition does not occur, we
will be required to redeem the Notes. See "Use of Proceeds" and "Description of the
Notes--Mandatory Redemption Upon Acquisition Termination."

Book-Entry Form

global certificates deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company
("DTC") and registered in the name of a nominee of DTC. Investors may elect to hold

only through, records maintained by DTC or its nominee, and any such interests may not
be exchanged for certificated securities, except in limited circumstances.

Absence of a Public Market for the Notes
The Notes are a new issue of securities, and there is currently no established market for
the Notes. Accordingly, we cannot assure you as to the development or liquidity of any
market for the Notes. The underwriters have advised us that they currently intend to
make a market in the Notes. However, they are not obligated to do so, and they may
discontinue any market making with respect to the Notes without notice.

We do not intend to apply for a listing of the Notes on any securities exchange.
