Sep. 30, 2012
Debt	F. Debt – In January 2012, Alcoa repaid the $322 in outstanding principal of its 6% Notes as scheduled using available cash on hand. Also in January 2012, Alcoa entered into two term loan agreements, totaling $350, with two separate financial institutions and a revolving credit agreement, providing a $100 credit facility, with a third financial institution. In February 2012, Alcoa entered into another revolving credit agreement, providing a $100 credit facility, with a fourth financial institution. In June 2012, Alcoa entered into a third revolving credit agreement, providing a $150 credit facility, with a fifth financial institution. In September 2012, Alcoa entered into a fourth revolving credit agreement, providing a $100 credit facility, with a sixth financial institution. The purpose of any borrowings under all six arrangements will be to provide working capital and for other general corporate purposes, including contributions to Alcoa’s pension plans ($163 and $515 was contributed in the 2012 third quarter and nine-month period, respectively). The two term loans were fully drawn on the same dates as the agreements and are subject to an interest rate equivalent to the 1-month LIBOR (changed from the 3-month LIBOR in April 2012) plus a 1.5% margin. In February 2012, Alcoa borrowed the $100 under the first credit facility, which was repaid in September 2012. This borrowing was subject to an interest rate equivalent to the 6-month LIBOR plus a 1.25% margin. In July 2012, Alcoa borrowed the $150 under the third credit facility, which was subject to an interest rate equivalent to the 3-month LIBOR plus a 1.375% margin during the 2012 third quarter. The two term loans mature in December 2012 (originally July 2012, extended in June 2012), the first revolving credit facility expires in September 2013 (originally December 2012, extended in September 2012), the second revolving credit facility expires in December 2012, the third revolving credit facility expires in March 2013, and the fourth revolving credit facility expires in September 2013. The covenants contained in all six arrangements are the same as Alcoa’s Five-Year Revolving Credit Agreement (see the Commercial Paper section of Note K to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Alcoa’s 2011 Form 10-K). Furthermore in January 2012, Alcoa’s subsidiary, Alumínio, borrowed $280 in new loans with a weighted-average interest rate of 2.32% and a weighted-average maturity of 172 days from two financial institutions. The purpose of these borrowings was to support Alumínio’s export operations. During the third quarter and nine-month period of 2012, $5 and $280, respectively, was repaid. In August 2012, Alcoa and the Iowa Finance Authority entered into a loan agreement for the proceeds from the issuance of $250 in Midwestern Disaster Area Revenue Bonds Series 2012 due 2042 (the “Bonds”). The Bonds were issued by the Iowa Finance Authority pursuant to the Heartland Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2008 for the purpose of financing all or part of the cost of acquiring, constructing, reconstructing, and renovating certain facilities at Alcoa’s rolling mill plant in Davenport, IA. Alcoa received $248 in net proceeds (reflecting payment of financing costs), which was classified as restricted cash. This transaction is not reflected in the accompanying Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows as it represents a non-cash financing and investing activity. At September 30, 2012, Alcoa had $212 of restricted cash remaining, of which $198 was classified in current assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet. Interest on the Bonds will be paid semi-annually in February and August, which will commence in February 2013. Alcoa has the option through the loan agreement to redeem the Bonds, as a whole or in part, on or after August 1, 2022, on at least 30 days, but not more than 60 days, prior notice to the holders of the Bonds at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof, without premium, plus accrued interest, if any, to the redemption date. The loan agreement ranks pari passu with Alcoa’s other unsecured senior unsubordinated indebtedness.
