Certain statements made or incorporated by reference in this prospectus are
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the United States Private
Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are
subject to risks and uncertainties. Forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements concerning industry growth and other trend
projections, anticipated financial or operating performance, business and
financial prospects, strategies, objectives, goals, targets and synergies, as
well as the effects on Alcan of its recent acquisitions, including of Pechiney,
and of its spin-off of Novelis Inc. (the "Novelis Spin-Off"). Forward-looking
statements in this prospectus are sometimes preceded by, followed by or include
the words "believes", "expects", "estimates", "intends", "anticipates", "plans",
"may", "could", "should", "will" or similar expressions. Although Alcan's
management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking
statements are reasonable, readers are cautioned that these forward-looking
statements by their nature involve risk and uncertainty because they relate to
events and depend on circumstances that will occur in the future. Many factors,
in addition to those discussed elsewhere in this prospectus and in the documents
we incorporate by reference, could cause actual results and developments to
differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking
statements.
The following factors, among others, could cause actual results or outcomes
to differ from the results expressed or implied by forward-looking statements:
- changes in global supply and demand conditions for aluminum and other
products;
- changes in aluminum ingot prices;
- changes in raw materials costs and availability;
- changes in the relative values of various currencies;
- cyclical demand and pricing within the principal markets for Alcan's

environmental, health or safety compliance;

- fluctuations in the supply of and prices for power in the areas in which
Alcan maintains production facilities;
- the consequences of transferring, on January 6, 2005, most of the
aluminum rolled products businesses operated by Alcan to Novelis Inc.
("Novelis"), in particular as regards to the liabilities that could
arise as a result of the Novelis Spin-off;
- the effect of integrating acquired businesses and the ability to attain
expected benefits from acquisitions;
- potential discovery of unanticipated commitments or other liabilities
associated with the acquisition and integration of Pechiney;
- major changes in technology that affect Alcan's competitiveness;
- the risk of significant losses from trading operations, including losses
due to market and credit risks associated with derivatives;
- changes in prevailing interest rates and equity market returns related
to pension plan investments, which may result in Alcan's being required
to make larger than expected pension plan contributions;
- potential catastrophic damage, increased insurance and security costs
and general uncertainties associated with the increased threat of
terrorism or war;
- the effect of international trade disputes on Alcan's ability to import
materials, export its products and compete internationally;

and suppliers;
