APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.

     This current report on Form 8-K/A is being filed by Novelis Inc.
("Novelis") pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 5.02 to amend the Form 8-K filed
on August 31, 2006. The original Form 8-K announced the appointment of John D.
Watson to the Novelis Board of Directors, but did not disclose the committees on

the Human Resources Committee of the Board of Directors.
