Forward-looking statements
Certain statements contained in this presentation may constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.

You can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as, but not limited to, believes, expects, may, should, approximately, anticipates, estimates, intends, plans, targets, likely, will, would, could and similar expressions (or the negative of these terminologies or expressions). All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties. Many risks and uncertainties are inherent in our industry and markets. Others are more specific to our business and operations. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the ability of Constellium and Wise to achieve expected synergies and the timing thereof; the risk that the businesses will not be integrated successfully or such integration may be more difficult, time-consuming or costly than expected; Constelliums increased levels of indebtedness as a result of the acquisition, which could limit Constelliums operating flexibility and opportunities; the potential failure to retain key employees as a result of the acquisition or during the integration of the business, the loss of customers, suppliers and other business relationships as a result of the acquisition; disruptions to business operations resulting from the acquisition; slower or lower than expected growth in the North American market for Body-in-White aluminium rolled products and other risk factors set forth under the heading Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 20-F, and as described from time to time in subsequent reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The occurrence of the events described and the achievement of the expected results depend on many events, some or all of which are not predictable or within our control.

|
Casting
Molten aluminium is then cast using Electromagnetic Casting Technology (EMC) to produce non-scalp ingots (95% non-scalp rate)
50
|
Pusher Furnace
After Casting, ingots are sent to the Pusher Furnace for preheating, and homogenized for hot rolling
51
|
Hot Rolling
Aluminium ingots are reduced to coil form through a series of mill operations at the hot line
52
|
3-Stand
After being processed at the hot line, 3104 alloy is then sent to the 3-Stand for rolling to customer specified gauge
53
|
Sheet Finishing
After the 3-Stand, coils are then sent to the Slitters The coils are slit to the final width, post-lubed, and inspected
54
|
5-Stand
After being processed at the hot line, 5000 series alloys are then sent to the 5-Stand for cold rolling to finish gauge
55
|
High Speed Cleaning and Coating Line
After being processed at the
5-Stand the coils are leveled, cleaned, treated, coated, waxed, and trimmed to width Our HSCCL is considered the fastest coil coating line in the world!
56
|
High Speed Cleaning and Coating Line
At our Packing and Shipping department we do a final inspection of the material, and verify the proper identification and staging prior to shipment on truck or rail
