Explanatory Note
This Amendment
No. 1 on Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment No. 1”) is being filed by Arconic Inc. to amend the Current Report on Form
8-K filed on March 5, 2020 (the “Original Report”), to correct a typographical error found in Item 1.01 of the
Original Report. This Amendment No. 1 corrects the reference to the financial covenant found in Item 1.01 of the Original
Report to be “no greater than 3.50 to 1.00” which conforms to the Amendment (as defined in the Original Report)
filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Original Report. This Amendment No. 1 also adds a description of the maturity date of the Credit
Agreement (as defined below).
Item 1.01 .
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On

dated June 5, 2015, and as further amended pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Credit Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2016, and
Amendment No. 2 to Credit Agreement, dated as of June 29, 2018, the “Existing Credit Agreement” and the Existing Credit
Agreement, as amended by the Amendment, the “Credit Agreement”), by and among the Company, a syndicate of lenders and
issuers named therein, Citibank, N.A., as administrative agent for the lenders and issuers, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as syndication
agent and Goldman Sachs Bank USA, as documentation agent.
The
Amendment was entered into (i) to permit the “ 2020 Separation Transaction” (as defined in the Amendment) and
(ii) to amend certain terms of the Existing Credit Agreement, to become effective on the “2020 Separation Transaction Effective
Date” (as defined in the Amendment), including the following changes:
•
the financial covenant in the Credit Agreement will require the Company’s ratio of Consolidated Net Debt (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to be no greater than 3.50 to 1.00;
•
the Total Commitment (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be automatically and permanently reduced from $3,000,000,000 to $1,500,000,000; and
•
the Initial Scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the Credit Agreement) will be the fifth anniversary of the 2020 Separation Transaction Effective Date (as defined in the Amendment).
The foregoing description of the Amendment is not intended to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, which is incorporated herein by reference
to Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Other Events
The Company
will redeem on April 6, 2020 (the “Redemption Date”) all $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its
outstanding 6.150% Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 013817AU5) (the “6.150% Notes”) and $300,000,000 aggregate principal
amount of its outstanding 5.40% Notes due 2021 (CUSIP No. 013817AV3) (the “5.40% Notes” and, together with the
6.150% Notes, the “Notes”) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Notes and the Indenture dated as of
September 30, 1993, as supplemented, between Arconic Inc. and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee
(the “Indenture”). As of March 5, 2020, the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 6.150% Notes is
$1,000,000,000 and the aggregate outstanding principal amount of the 5.40% Notes is $1,250,000,000.
The Redemption Price for the 6.150% Notes shall be equal to
the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 6.150% Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date or (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate, plus 50 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of redemption.
The Redemption Price for the 5.40% Notes shall be equal to the
greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 5.40% Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued interest, if any, to the Redemption
Date or (ii) the sum of the present values of the Remaining Scheduled Payments, discounted on a semiannual basis, assuming a 360-day
year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the Treasury Rate, plus 30 basis points, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the
date of redemption.
Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined herein shall
have the same meaning as given in the Indenture, the 6.150% Notes or the 5.40% Notes, as the case may be.
Forward-Looking Statements
This
Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that relate to future events and expectations and as such constitute forward-looking
statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include those
containing such words as “anticipates,” “believes,” “could,” “estimates,” “expects,”
“forecasts,” “goal,” “guidance,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,”
“plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “sees,” “should,” “targets,”
“will,” “would,” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that reflect the Company’s expectations,
assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including,
without limitation, statements regarding the separation and future expenses and tax rates. Forward-looking statements are not
guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict.
Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions,
it can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained and it is possible that actual results may differ materially
from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties. Such risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to (a) uncertainties as to the timing of the separation and whether it will be completed; (b) the
possibility that various closing conditions for the separation may not be satisfied; (c) the outcome of contingencies, including
legal proceedings; (d) the impact of the separation on the businesses of the Company; (e) the risk that the businesses will not
be separated successfully or such separation may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected, which could result
in additional demands on the Company’s resources, systems, procedures and controls, disruption of its ongoing business and
diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; (f) disruptions or volatility in the global financial
markets, including changes affecting U.S. Treasury securities or failure of the trustee to receive moneys from the Company sufficient
to pay the redemption price of the Notes, whether due to third-party payments system disruptions or other events; and (h) the
other risk factors discussed in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and other reports filed by
the Company with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company disclaims any obligation to update publicly any forward-looking
statements, whether in response to new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by applicable law.
