Exhibit 1

Vesting Schedule

Vesting. Except as otherwise provided in this Exhibit 1, provided that the Participant has not incurred a termination of Service as of the applicable vesting date, the RSUs will vest in accordance with the following schedule:


Vesting Date	Percentage of RSUs
1^st anniversary of the Date of Grant		33 1/3	%
2^nd anniversary of the Date of Grant		33 1/3	%
3^rd anniversary of the Date of Grant		33 1/3	%

Termination of Service.

Death or Disability. Subject to Section 2(f) and Section 3 in this Exhibit 1, if the Participant incurs a termination of Service as a result of death or Disability, the unvested RSUs will become fully vested as of the time immediately prior to such termination of Service.

Retirement. Subject to Section 2(f) and Section 3 in this Exhibit 1, if the Participant incurs a termination of Service as a result of Retirement, the Participant will continue to vest in the unvested RSUs on each Vesting Date following such termination of Service as if Participant’s Service continued through each such date.

For purposes of this Exhibit 1 and the Agreement, Participant shall only be considered to have terminated Service due to “Retirement” if Participant voluntarily terminates active Service after each of the following conditions have been met: (i) Participant attains age 65 year or has a combination of age and years of Service greater than or equal to 65 with a minimum age of 55, and thereafter provides at least six (6) months’ written notice of Participant’s intended retirement; (ii) the Committee (or its delegate) accepts Participant’s intended retirement in writing, subject to successfully fulfilling transition duties and responsibilities and remaining employed until a Retirement date set by the Committee (or its delegate), it being understood that these duties and responsibilities are in addition to Participant’s regular duties and responsibilities, and may require continued employment beyond the end of the six (6) month notice period; and (iii) the Committee (or its delegate) determines that Participant has successfully fulfilled Participant’s transition duties and responsibilities. The Committee (or its delegate) shall, in its sole discretion, (A) decide whether or not to accept Participant’s intended Retirement, (B) set forth in writing the terms of Participant’s transition duties and responsibilities and Participant’s Retirement date and (C) determine whether or not Participant has successfully met such transition duties and responsibilities not later than sixty (60) days after Participant’s date of termination.

Termination without Cause or for Good Reason. Subject to Section 2(f) and Section 3 in this Exhibit 1, if Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason, on each Vesting Date following the Participant’s termination of Service Participant will vest in the number of RSUs subject to vesting on the applicable Vesting Date, pro-rated through the date of termination. The pro-rated RSUs

on each Vesting Date will be determined by multiplying such number of RSUs subject to vesting on the applicable Vesting Date by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which is the number of full months from the Grant Date through the date of termination and (ii) the denominator is (A) 12, in the case of the first Vesting Date, (B) 24, in the case of the second Vesting Date and (C) 36, in the case of the third Vesting Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant has attained age 65 or has a combination of age and years of Service greater than or equal to 65 with a minimum age of 55 at the time the Participant’s Service is terminated pursuant to this Section 2(c), the Participant’s RSUs shall vest at the greater of the vesting treatment provided in Section 2(b) in this Exhibit 1 and this Section 2(c). All unvested RSUs that do not become vested pursuant to this Section 2(c) will be forfeited.

Change in Control. Subject to Section 2(f) and Section 3 in this Exhibit 1:

If a Change in Control occurs and the successor or purchaser in the Change in Control has assumed the Company’s obligations with respect to the RSUs or provided a substitute award and within 12 months following the occurrence of the Change in Control, the Participant’s Service is terminated by the Company without Cause or by Participant for Good Reason, the unvested RSUs will become fully vested as of the time immediately prior to such termination of Service.

ii.

If a Change in Control occurs and the successor or purchaser in the Change in Control has not assumed the Company’s obligations with respect to the RSUs nor provided a substitute award, the unvested RSUs will become fully vested as of the time immediately prior to the Change in Control.

Intercompany Transfer. If a Participant’s Service is transferred outside of the Company such that the Participant becomes an Employee at any Parent, affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company, the Participant will continue to vest in the unvested RSUs on each Vesting Date following such transfer; provided, that the Participant remains an Employee of a Parent, affiliate or Subsidiary of the Company through each such Vesting Date.

Voluntary Termination. If the Participant’s Service is terminated as a result of the Participant’s voluntary resignation, all unvested RSUs will be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt, all vested RSUs as of the Participation’s date of termination shall remain vested.

Termination for Cause; Breach of Restrictive Covenants. If (i) the Participant’s Service is terminated by the by the Company for Cause or (ii) the Participant breaches the Restrictive Covenant Agreement (whether prior to or after the termination of the Participant’s Service), all unvested RSUs will be forfeited for no consideration as of the date of termination or breach (as applicable).

Release. The receipt of Shares subject to the RSUs that are eligible to vest pursuant to Section 2(a), (b), (c), (d) and (e) in this Exhibit 1 shall be subject to the execution and nonrevocation of a general release of claims in favor of the Company, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company.

Restricted Stock Unit Agreement

NOVELIS INC.

2024 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT

Pursuant to your Restricted Stock Unit Grant Notice (“Grant Notice”) and this Restricted Stock Unit Agreement (this “Agreement”), Novelis Inc., a corporation organized under the laws of Canada (the “Company”) has granted you the number of RSUs under its 2024 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) indicated in your Grant Notice, each of which represents the right to receive one Share. The RSUs are granted to you effective as of the date of grant set forth in the Grant Notice (the “Date of Grant”). If there is any conflict between the terms in the Grant Notice, Exhibit 1 to the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan, then such conflict shall be resolved by giving such documents precedence in the following order: Exhibit 1 to the Grant Notice, this Agreement, and then the Plan. Capitalized terms not explicitly defined in this Agreement or in the Grant Notice but defined in the Plan will have the same meanings as in the Plan.

The details of the RSUs, in addition to those set forth in the Grant Notice and the Plan, are as follows:

1.	Vesting; No Shareholder Rights

The RSUs will vest as provided in your Grant Notice. Vesting will cease upon the termination of your Service with the Company, its Parent or any of its Subsidiaries, except as may be provided otherwise in the Vesting Schedule in Exhibit 1 to your Grant Notice or in an employment or other written agreement between you and the Company.

You will not be deemed to be the holder of, or have any of the rights of a stockholder with respect to, any RSUs unless and until they have vested and the Administrator has issued and delivered Shares to you and your name shall have been entered as a stockholder of record on the books of the Company. This Award includes a right to dividend equivalents equal to the value of any dividends paid on Shares for which the dividend record date occurs between the Date of Grant and the date the Award is settled or forfeited. Subject to vesting, each dividend equivalent entitles you to receive the equivalent cash value of any such dividends paid on the number of Shares underlying the Award that are outstanding during such period. Dividend equivalents will be accrued (without interest) and will be subject to the same conditions as the Shares to which they are attributable, including, without limitation, the vesting conditions, and the provisions governing the time and form of settlement of the Award.

2.	Number of RSUs

The number of RSUs is set forth in your Grant Notice and will be adjusted in the event of changes in capital structure and similar events as provided in Section 16 of the Plan.

3.	Settlement

Subject to Section 9, each RSU will be settled by delivery to you of one Share as soon as administratively practicable within ninety (90) days following vesting (but in no event later than 15^th day of the third month following the end of the calendar year of the applicable vesting date). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A) on the date of your termination of Service as a result of Retirement, you will have settlement under this Section 3 delayed to the date that is the first day of the seventh month following your date of termination, to the extent required by Section 409A. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, deliver cash in lieu of all or any portion of the Shares otherwise deliverable in respect of the RSUs in an amount equal to such number of Shares multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date when such shares would otherwise have been issued, as determined by the Administrator.

4.	Securities Law Compliance

In no event shall the Company deliver Shares upon vesting or settlement of the RSUs unless such shares are then registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and applicable state securities law or, if not registered, the Administrator has determined that your exercise and the issuance of the shares would be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. The issuance of Shares is also subject to compliance with all other applicable laws and regulations governing your RSUs, including the requirements of any Shares exchange on which the Shares may be listed, and you may not be issued Shares if the Administrator determines that such issuance would not be in material compliance with such laws, regulations and listing requirements.

5.	Other Terms

In considering the acceptance of this Award of RSUs, you understand, acknowledge, agree and hereby stipulate that you should use the same independent investment judgment that you would use in making other investments in corporate securities. Among other things, Shares prices will fluctuate over any reasonable period of time and the price of stock may go down as well as up. No guarantees are made as to the future prospects of the Company or the Shares. No representations are made by the Administrator or the Company.

6.	Restrictive Covenant Agreement

In consideration of this Award of RSUs, which you understand is good and valuable consideration, you agree to be bound by the Company’s Non-Competition, Non-Solicitation & Confidentiality Agreement in substantially the form attached hereto as Attachment 3 (the “Restrictive Covenant Agreement”).

7.	Transferability

The RSUs are not assignable or transferable, except by will or by the laws of descent and distribution. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the RSUs may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of, or pledged or hypothecated in any manner (whether by operation of law or otherwise), and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or other process. Any assignment, transfer, sale, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of the RSUs or any attempt to make any such levy of execution, attachment or other process will cause the RSUs to terminate immediately.

8.	RSUs not a Service Contract

The RSUs are not an employment or service contract, and nothing in the RSUs will be deemed to create in any way whatsoever any obligation on your part to continue in the employ or service of the Company or an affiliate, or of the Company or an affiliate to continue your Service. In addition, nothing in the RSUs will obligate the Company or an affiliate, their respective stockholders, boards of directors, officers or employees to continue any relationship that you might have as a member of the Company’s Board or a consultant for the Company or an affiliate.

9.	Withholding Obligations

(a)

At the time when the RSUs vest, in whole or in part, and at any time thereafter as requested by the Administrator, you hereby agree to make adequate provision for any sums required to satisfy the federal, state, local and foreign tax withholding obligations of the Company or an affiliate, if any, which arise in connection with such vesting and settlement of the RSUs. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may (but is not required to) hold back Shares otherwise issuable on settlement of the RSUs or permit you to tender previously-owned Shares in satisfaction of tax or other withholding requirements (but not in excess of the maximum withholding amount consistent with the RSUs being subject to equity accounting treatment under the Accounting Rules). In addition, the Administrator may (but is not required to), to the extent permitted by law, deduct any such tax and other withholding amounts from any payment of any kind otherwise due to you from the Company, its Parent or any subsidiary of the Company.

(b)

The Administrator and the Company assume no responsibility for individual income taxes, penalties or interest related to grant, vesting or settlement of any RSU. Neither the Administrator, the Company nor any affiliate makes any representation or undertaking regarding the treatment of any tax withholding in connection with the grant, vesting or settlement of the RSUs. You should consult with your personal tax advisor regarding the tax ramifications, if any, which result from receipt of the RSUs, the subsequent issuance, if any, of Shares on settlement of the RSUs, and the subsequent disposition of any such Shares. You acknowledge that the Administrator or the Company may be required to withhold federal, state and/or local taxes in connection with the vesting and/or settlement of the RSUs. No RSUs will vest or be settled unless the tax withholding obligations of the Company and/or any affiliate are satisfied. The Administrator will have no obligation to issue a certificate for Shares in respect of the RSUs unless the obligations set forth in this Section 9 are satisfied.

10.	Recovery of Compensation; Clawback Rights

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in accordance with Section 25 of the Plan, the RSUs and all amounts that may be received by you in connection with any disposition of any such Shares underlying the RSUs shall be subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (a) the Company’s clawback policy and any other clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee and as in effect from time to time; and (b) applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement. By accepting the RSUs, you are deemed to have acknowledged and consented to the Company’s clawback policy and the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by the Board or the Committee, whether adopted prior to or following the date of the Date of Grant, and any provision of applicable law or stock exchange listing requirement relating to reduction cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment, and to have agreed that the Company may take such actions as may be necessary to effectuate any such policy, requirement or applicable law, without further consideration or action.

11.	Section 409A; Tax Consequences

It is the Administrator’s and the Company’s intent that payments under this Agreement and Grant Notice shall be exempt from Section 409A to the extent applicable, and that this Agreement be administered accordingly. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Grant Notice or any employment agreement you have entered into with the Company, to the extent that any payment or benefit under this Agreement is determined by the Administrator to

constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” subject to Section 409A and is payable to you by reason of termination of your employment, then (a) such payment or benefit shall be made or provided to you only upon a “separation from service” (as defined in Section 409A) from the Company and (b) if you are a “specified employee” (within the meaning of Section 409A and as determined by the Administrator), such payment or benefit shall not be made or provided before the date that is six months after the date of your separation from service from the Company (or your earlier death). Each payment under this Agreement shall be treated as a separate payment under Section 409A. You hereby agree that the Administrator and the Company do not have a duty to design or administer the Plan or its other compensation programs in a manner that minimizes your tax liabilities. You will not make any claim against the Administrator, the Company, or any of its officers, directors, employees or affiliates related to tax liabilities arising from the RSUs or your other compensation.

12.	Notices

Any notices provided for in the Agreement or the Plan will be given in writing and will be deemed effectively given upon receipt. The Administrator may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to participation in the Plan and these RSUs by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in the Plan by electronic means. By accepting these RSUs, you consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and to participate in the Plan through an on-line or electronic system established and maintained by the Administrator or another third party designated by the Administrator.

13.	Agreement Summaries

In the event that the Administrator provides you (or anyone acting on your behalf) with summary or other information concerning, including or otherwise relating to your rights or benefits under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the RSUs and any vesting thereof), such summary or other information shall in all cases be qualified in its entirety by Exhibit 1 to your Grant Notice, the Grant Notice, this Agreement and the Plan and, unless it explicitly states otherwise and is signed by an officer of the Company, shall not constitute an amendment or other modification hereto.

14.	Acknowledgements

You understand, acknowledge, agree and hereby stipulate that: (a) you are executing this Agreement voluntarily and without any duress or undue influence by the Company or anyone else; (b) the RSUs are intended to be consideration in exchange for the promises and covenants set forth in this Agreement; (c) you have carefully read, considered and understand all of the provisions of this Agreement and the Company’s policies reflected in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged; (d) you have asked any questions needed for you to understand the terms, consequences and binding effect of this Agreement and you fully understand them; (e) you were provided an opportunity to seek the advice of an attorney and/or a tax professional of your choice before accepting this award of RSUs and (f) the obligations and restrictions set forth in this Agreement are fair and reasonable.
