Important Information Forward-Looking Statements This presentation 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,” “guidance,” “goal,” “intends,” “may,” “outlook,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “sees,” “should,” “targets,” “will,” “would,” or other words of similar meaning. All statements that reflect Arconic’s expectations, assumptions or projections about the future, other than statements of historical fact, are forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, statements and guidance regarding future financial results or operating performance; statements about Arconic’s strategies, outlook, business and financial prospects; and forecasts and expectations relating to end markets. 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 Arconic 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) deterioration in global economic and financial market conditions generally; (b) unfavorable changes in the markets served by Arconic; (c) the inability to achieve the level of revenue growth, cash generation, cost savings, improvement in profitability and margins, fiscal discipline, or strengthening of competitiveness and operations anticipated from restructuring programs and productivity improvement, cash sustainability, technology advancements, and other initiatives; (d) changes in discount rates or investment returns on pension assets; (e) Arconic’s inability to realize expected benefits, in each case as planned and by targeted completion dates, from acquisitions, divestitures, facility closures, curtailments, expansions, or joint ventures; (f) the impact of cyber attacks and potential information technology or data security breaches; (g) political, economic, and regulatory risks in the countries in which Arconic operates or sells products; (h) the impact of the separation on the businesses of Arconic; (i) material adverse changes in aluminum industry conditions, including fluctuations in London Metal Exchange-based aluminum prices; (j) the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on costs and results; (k) the outcome of contingencies, including legal proceedings, government or regulatory investigations, and environmental remediation; and (l) the other risk factors discussed in Arconic’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, and other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Arconic 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. Market projections are subject to the risks discussed above and other risks in the market. 1

Important Information (continued) Non-GAAP Financial Measures Some of the information included in this presentation is derived from Arconic’s consolidated financial information but is not presented in Arconic’s financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (GAAP). Certain of these data are considered “non-GAAP financial measures” under SEC rules. These non-GAAP financial measures supplement our GAAP disclosures and should not be considered an alternative to the GAAP measure. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures, management’s rationale for the use of the non-GAAP financial measures, and explanations can be found in the Appendix to this presentation. Arconic has not provided a reconciliation of any forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures because Arconic is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in the GAAP measure without unreasonable efforts, and Arconic believes such reconciliations would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. In particular, reconciliations of forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures such as adjusted EBITDA, adjusted EBITDA margin, Return on Net Assets, adjusted net income, and Free Cash Flow to the most directly comparable GAAP measures are not available without unreasonable efforts due to the variability and complexity with respect to the charges and other components excluded from these non-GAAP measures, such as the effects of foreign currency movements, equity income, gains or losses on sales of assets, taxes and any future restructuring or impairment charges. These reconciling items are in addition to the inherent variability already included in the GAAP measures, which includes, but is not limited to, price/mix and volume. Any reference to historical EBITDA means adjusted EBITDA, for which we have provided calculations and reconciliations in the Appendix. 2

Section 1 Executive Summary and Recent Developments


LOGO

 

Executive Summary Arconic’s Board is a carefully assembled group of experienced executives committed to shareholder interests Arconic is executing on an aggressive plan which is creating significant value The Board is proposing an accomplished slate of new directors for election, and if elected, nine of Arconic’s thirteen directors will have served fewer than 16 months resulting in an unusually high degree of board refreshment Elliott’s slate enables one minority holder to inappropriately shape a majority of the Board, resulting in undue, excessive, and creeping influence over Arconic; the Board already has three directors who were nominated by Elliott in 2016 Elliott’s proposed strategy for Arconic is flawed, its claims are misleading and its tactics are disreputable Both slates result in a highly refreshed board—owners should focus on voting for the best slate; Arconic’s slate provides the most qualified skills and experience to drive value creation 5


LOGO

 

An Unanticipated Event Led to Recent Change in Leadership at Arconic Update on recent developments On April 12, 2017, the Board learned of a letter sent by Arconic’s then CEO, Klaus Kleinfeld, to Elliott Management Letter was sent without Board consultation or authorization The Board determined that letter reflected poor judgment The next day, the Board determined that Mr. Kleinfeld would step down as Chairman and CEO The Board appointed David Hess, who recently joined the Arconic Board, to serve as CEO on an interim basis Mr. Hess has decades of industrial and aerospace leadership experience Pat Russo, Arconic’s Lead Director, agreed to serve as Independent Chair on an interim basis Ms. Russo has substantial public company board leadership experience The Board has initiated a search for a permanent CEO 6

Arconic’s Nominees All Bring Fresh Perspectives and Deep Experience Update on Arconic’s director slate Arconic has nominated five individuals for its Board of Directors, all of whom bring fresh perspectives Two new nominees with aerospace and defense expertise from the highest levels of industry and government Two current directors who joined the board in the last 7 months, including the interim CEO appointed in March 2017 The fifth nominee was originally selected by Elliott and joined the Board in February 2016 The Board’s nominees have executive, public company board and industry expertise David Hess and Jim Albaugh have experience as leaders of major aerospace businesses Amy Alving is an aerospace engineer, with expertise in innovation, technology and cyber security Janet Wolfenbarger was a four-star general responsible for procurement at the U.S. Air Force, a major Arconic customer Rick Schmidt is the former CFO of two major aerospace suppliers and Chairman of our Audit Committee Our nominees have extensive public company Board experience Our nominees recognize they have responsibilities to all shareholders and will not allow any one investor to gain undue influence over the future of Arconic 7

Recent Breakdown of Settlement Talks Reveals Elliott’s True Intentions Facts behind recent settlement talks Twice in late April, Arconic and Elliott negotiated a settlement agreement, almost to conclusion Arconic has tried to settle this contest so it can give its undivided focus to the business and recruiting a new CEO Both times, Elliott reneged on the agreement at the eleventh hour and demanded additional terms Elliott sought extraordinary influence over Arconic and the operation of its Board in these settlement talks Demanded an “Operations Committee” of the Board, controlled by its nominees, to serve as a “board above the Board” Sought to designate the majority of the members of Arconic’s CEO search committee Pressed for other measures of control and influence over the Board and the Company In negotiating the settlement, Elliott insisted on having an unfettered ability to sell its shares at any time and accordingly demanded that Arconic file a registration statement with the SEC to facilitate its sales Is Elliott looking out for all Arconic shareholders, or is it looking out for Elliott’s near-term interests? After settlement talks broke down, Arconic offered to evaluate and appoint two Elliott nominees to the Arconic Board None of Elliott’s nominees would accept the opportunity or Arconic’s nomination for the 2017 Annual Meeting Apparently, Elliott is in control of its nominees, which raises independence concerns 8


LOGO

 

Elliott Seeks Undue, Excessive and Creeping Influence Elliott’s “creeping control” plan (see Elliott slide at left) Elliott’s Intentions Raise Significant Governance Concerns ? The Board has already appointed three directors nominated by Elliott in early 2016 -These directors join the rest of the Board in opposing Elliott’s suggested changes ? Now Elliott, a 13.2% shareholder, seeks to select four more Arconic directors —Resulting in a majority (7 of 13) of Arconic’s directors being nominated by Elliott ? Further, Elliott wants to shrink the Board over time, increasing its disproportionate influence further —In effect, Elliott believes it should be entitled to nominate a staggering 70% of Arconic’s independent directors ? In settlement discussions, Elliott also attempted to gain control Elliott Sourced Directors of an “Operations Committee” and CEO search committee Elliott Sourced Directors (% of Independent Directors) Elliott’s collective plan amounts to inappropriate 25% 54% 70%(1) “creeping control” over Arconic by a 13.2% shareholder Sources: Elliott, Arconic 9 1) Calculated assuming the Arconic Board consists of 10 independent directors.


LOGO

 

Elliott’s Demands Have Changed as it Seeks More Control Elliott’s increasing demands Elliott’s demands have increased over time; the Board has sought to accommodate some of these demands but has resisted giving Elliott excessive influence Arconic to file a registration statement with the SEC to help Elliott sell its Arconic stock Influence over various Board processes Right to designate majority of the members of the CEO search committee Creation of an “Operations Committee” controlled by Elliott nominated directors Additional incumbent directors resign to shrink the Board, thereby increasing Elliott’s influence Replacement of 4 directors with Replacement of 4 directors with Elliott nominees (for a total of 7 total) Elliott nominees (for a total of 7 total) Installation of a CEO candidate Installation of a CEO candidate on Elliott’s bankroll on Elliott’s bankroll Removal of Arconic’s Removal of Arconic’s Chairman and CEO Chairman and CEO All 3 Elliott nominated directors All 3 Elliott nominated directors All 3 Elliott nominated directors must transition to the Arconic Board must transition to the Arconic Board must transition to the Arconic Board Appointment of 3 directors Appointment of 3 directors Appointment of 3 directors to the Alcoa Inc.

White Card Five new directors with the expertise to help Arconic drive responsible changes ? White Card Public company boards to be responsive to all shareholders and not be controlled by a single shareholder ? White Card Continued board service of the Interim CEO ? White Card But if you prefer… Encouraging disreputable tactics and personal attacks as a means for hedge funds to generate profits ? Blue Card One investor to claim the right to control selection of directors, CEO search process, operational oversight and Board processes ? Blue Card A misguided “plan” unencumbered by the facts ?

Arconic’s Board Has Enabled Full Participation by All Shareholders Overview of the Board’s focus on shareholder democracy ? Arconic’s Board has welcomed the engagement and participation by all shareholders —Directors have met with dozens of institutional investors to hear their views and get feedback —The Board has repeatedly sought to improve shareholder democracy through declassifying the Board, but has been unable to garner sufficient votes —Arconic is committed to pursuing reincorporation in Delaware to remove legacy governance provisions if this year’s vote is insufficient to amend Articles ? Arconic’s Board waived the Oak Hill agreement to ensure full participation of shareholders —The original voting agreement was not made in the context of a contested election —The Board recognized importance of this election and wanted to ensure Oak Hill, and all other shareholders, were empowered to make their own decisions ? The Arconic Board has refused to cede excessive control to a single shareholder —Arconic’s Board believes that one shareholder should not dictate governance or hand pick a majority of the Board —The Board rejected Elliott’s over-reaching to ensure interests of all shareholders are represented by the Board —The Board has nominated a full slate so shareholders have the benefit of their voting rights, with a full choice, even though it necessitated a small delay in the meeting date Elliott’s latest attack theme — “subversion of shareholder democracy” — is ironically being deployed in an effort to enable one 13.2% shareholder to shape a majority of the Board. If successful, Elliott will have nominated seven of Arconic’s 13 directors 21

Elliott’s Governance Claims Are False and Misleading Elliott’s Myth vs. the Reality The Myth The Reality ? The postponement itself is very minor – less than 10 days ? Former CEO is not being nominated, creating an open space on our slate Postponement of the annual meeting was 1 effort to entrench the Board ? Elliott reneged, twice, on settlement agreements that delayed our solicitation efforts for nearly two weeks and then rejected additional offer to add two Elliott nominees to the Board ? The Board believes shareholders should have a choice of two full slates and time to consider them ? Robust succession planning by the Board allowed it to stand up two full management teams when The Board failed to have a proper Alcoa Inc. was separated into Arconic and Alcoa Corp. 2 succession plan ? The Board believes David Hess was the best choice for the interim position ? The Board is focused on ensuring a smooth leadership transition ? Term was one provision in a settlement of a $20 million working-capital-adjustment dispute; no Arconic’s former management “traded additional value was given by Arconic for the voting commitment ? Oak Hill could terminate the agreement at any time by selling its shares (~2%) 3 valuable legal claims for two year voting ? The Board waived the voting commitment to enable full participation in this contested election agreement” ? Every shareholder will vote as they please at the 2017 Annual Meeting ? Elliott agreed to a similar voting commitment as part of a settlement with Alcoa Inc. in 2016 ? The 1993 Grantor Trust has been in place for more than two decades ? The trust protects retired employees and did not clearly provide Arconic the right to make the Company “threatened shareholders with amendments suggested by Elliott 4 a $500 million ‘poison put’ liability” is created; liabilities have been fully disclosed and reflected on balance sheet ? No new liability ? Court recently found “no evidence” of “chilling the votes of any of the shareholders” 24

Section 3 Shareholders Should Support The Board’s Slate of Aerospace Industry Experts


LOGO

 

Shareholders Should Vote on the Board’s White Proxy Card Key facts for shareholders ? We believe that the Board’s White Card and slate are best for shareholders who seek value creation and sound governance —Arconic has nominated five individuals for its Board of Directors who bring fresh perspectives and unique perspectives that are critical to our overall Board composition —Our nominees have extensive public company Board experience —Our nominees recognize they have responsibilities to all shareholders and will not allow any one investor to have undue influence ? A vote on Elliott’s Blue Card is tantamount to an endorsement of Elliott’s conduct, practices and principles in this fight —A “win-at-any-cost” mentality and disingenuous personal attack that was designed to humiliate and destroy Arconic’s former CEO —Desire by minority shareholder to unilaterally shape a majority of the Board, and dictate terms and conditions for the Board’s oversight of operations and CEO search ? Voting on Elliott’s Blue Card is an endorsement of Elliott’s short-term strategy for the Company —The Board unanimously believes Elliott’s analysis is flawed and its simplistic strategy threatens long-term value —Arconic’s innovation culture, value-added products and strong customer relationships are key to sustaining long-term shareholder value 27

Leading Industry Analysts Agree Arconic’s Strategic Plan is Ambitious Recent research analyst commentary “ARNC’s standalone margin targets are a challenging bar, so we are not convinced that there is upside to the “undisturbed” plan” — Cowen Research, Mar 29, 2017 “Our base case estimates under new management are still below Elliott’s targets and more or less in line with the board’s targets” — JP Morgan, Apr 18, 2017 Elliott’s targets are not credible Source: Wall Street Research 36

Blue Card: A Vote in Support of Elliott’s Disreputable Activism Tactics Reasons not to support the Blue Card ? Shareholders have an absolute right to disagree on strategy, capital structure, leadership strengths and Board composition ? But in this contest, Elliott has engaged in aggressive ad hominem personal attacks —Aggressive private investigators calling upon dozens of personal and professional contacts —Publication of known falsehoods designed to damage reputations —Cartoons depicting executive leaders as criminals and bank robbers —Unsubstantiated claims that leaders suffer from psychological disorders ? After attempts to destroy Mr. Kleinfeld’s reputation, Elliott has immediately taken aim at new targets ? These tactics are unbecoming and unfit for making stewardship and governance decisions Elliott has pursued a “win-at-any-cost” approach and has turned activism into a blood sport 37

Blue Card: A Vote to Give Undue Influence to One Investor Reasons not to support the Blue Card As a 13.2% owner, Elliott has the unquestioned right to provide input to the Board and to have its opinions heard and respected Elliott primarily sought a CEO change at Arconic; the old CEO is now gone, yet Elliott persists in wanting more Fundamentally, Elliott seeks undue, excessive and creeping influence over the company, its management and Board Elliott already had three of its nominees added to the Board in 2016 Now, Elliott seeks to add four more people resulting in a majority of Arconic’s directors being nominated by Elliott And, ultimately, Elliott wants to choose 70% of the independent directors by having other directors step down Ellliott’s demands in the settlement talks demonstrated its desire to control Arconic Wanted the CEO search committee to consist of a majority of Elliott nominees and to have veto rights over the appointment of a CEO Demanded an “Operations Committee” of the Board, consisting of a majority of its nominees, with a mandate dictated by Elliott to oversee the company Other shareholders have the right to representation as well and to have a Board composed of directors that are independent of excessive influence from just one shareholder Elliott inappropriately seeks undue, excessive and creeping influence over Arconic 38

During this period, business mix shifted to higher value products driving significant margin improvement and Growth are Core Elements of Guidance positioning Arconic for strong and profitable growth 2019 Guidance ? Substantial revenue growth and continued margin expansion are core elements of 2019 guidance ? Asset turns are not a measure of profitability – benchmarking against wide spectrum of companies with different return profiles and in different stages of investment cycles is highly misleading —E.g. Meritor, the highest bar on slide 160 of Elliott’s April 11th presentation, is a company with EBITDA margins Numerous Factors Result in Poor Asset Utilization ~1/3 lower than Arconic Limited Relevance of a Relative Asset Return Analysis ? Significant recent investments result in a higher proportion of un-depreciated assets; Elliott provides no acknowledgment of ramp up in major programs and new product lines, which will improve asset turns ? Arconic is not a commodity player – it produces highly differentiated products and operates its facilities to generate “Fill the Mill” is the full value for volume produced, which ultimately maximizes cash flow generation GRP’s Focus on High Margin Optimal Strategy for Product Maximizes Cash Flow ? Elliott’s “fill the mill” strategy is only suitable for commodity rolled products producers with limited pricing power GRP Generation ? Elliott’s strategy risks commoditizing Arconic’s asset base and limiting long-term value potential ? Each Arconic plant maintains full operational and P&L responsibility ? Plants utilize a standardized format to report key daily performance metrics to business unit leaders for weekly Arconic’s Management is performance dialogues Arconic’s Management is Highly Detached from ?

Net margin is equivalent to Sales minus the following items: Cost of goods sold; Selling, general administrative, and other expenses; Research and development expenses; and Provision for depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because Adjusted EBITDA provides additional information with respect to Arconic’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations. The Adjusted EBITDA presented may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Additionally Adjusted EBITDA, excluding special items, is a non-GAAP financial measure. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews the operating results of Arconic excluding the impacts of special items, such as costs associated with the separation of Alcoa Inc. and proxy, advisory and governance-related costs (collectively, “special items”). This measure provides additional information with respect to Arconic’s operating performance and the Company’s ability to meet its financial obligations excluding the impact of such costs. (1) On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. was separated into two standalone, publicly-traded companies, Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, by means of a pro rata distribution of 80.1 percent of the outstanding common stock of Alcoa Corporation to Alcoa Inc. shareholders. Accordingly, the results of operations of Alcoa Corporation have been reflected as discontinued operations for all periods presented prior to November 1, 2016. 53

Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors because management reviews cash flows generated from operations after taking into consideration capital expenditures due to the fact that these expenditures are considered necessary to maintain and expand Arconic’s asset base and are expected to generate future cash flows from operations. It is important to note that Free Cash Flow does not represent the residual cash flow available for discretionary expenditures since other non-discretionary expenditures, such as mandatory debt service requirements, are not deducted from the measure.

Reconciliation of Return on Net Assets (continued) Return on net assets is a non-GAAP financial measure and is calculated as Net (loss) income attributable to Arconic – as adjusted divided by Net assets, which is the summation of Working capital and Properties, plants, and equipment, net. Management believes that this measure is meaningful to investors as RONA helps management and investors determine how effectively and efficiently the company is using its assets to generate earnings. An internal allocation methodology was used to determine 2009-2015 Upstream RONA and Downstream RONA because Alcoa Inc was one company and historical standalone Upstream and Downstream results are not available for 2009-2014 without significant unreasonable efforts. 2016 Downstream RONA is based on Arconic Inc. results. On November 1, 2016, the former Alcoa Inc. was separated into two standalone, publicly-traded companies, Arconic and Alcoa Corporation, by means of a pro rata distribution of 80.1% of the outstanding common stock of Alcoa Corporation to Alcoa Inc. shareholders. Accordingly, 2016 results of operations and financial position of Alcoa Corporation have been reflected as discontinued operations. For historical comparison purposes and because Alcoa Inc was one company, 2015 does not reflect Alcoa Corporation results of operations and financial position in discontinued operations in this reconciliation. 2014 and prior periods do not reflect Alcoa Corporation results of operations and financial position in discontinued operations in this reconciliation for historical comparison purposes and because it is not available without significant unreasonable efforts. Arconic (Downstream) includes the following former Alcoa Inc. segments: Engineered Products and Solutions, Transportation and Construction Solutions, and Global Rolled Products, except for the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia which both became part of Alcoa Corporation. Alcoa Corporation (Upstream) includes the following former Alcoa Inc. segments: Alumina and Primary Metals, as well as the Warrick, IN rolling operations and the equity interest in the rolling mill at the joint venture in Saudi Arabia. Discrete tax items include the following: for the year ended December 31, 2016, a charge for valuation allowances related to the November 1, 2016 separation ($1,267), a net charge for the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets due to tax rate and tax law changes ($51), a net benefit for valuation allowances not associated with the separation ($18), and a net benefit for a number of small items ($10); for the year ended December 31, 2015, a charge for valuation allowances related to certain U.S. and Iceland deferred tax assets ($190) and a net benefit for other miscellaneous items ($4); for the year ended December 31, 2014, a charge for the remeasurement of certain deferred tax assets of a subsidiary in Brazil due to a tax rate change ($31) and a net charge for other miscellaneous items ($2); for the year ended December 31, 2013, a charge for valuation allowances related to certain Spain and U.S. deferred tax assets ($372) and a net benefit for other miscellaneous items ($12); for the year ended December 31, 2012, a benefit for a change in the legal structure of an investment ($13), a benefit as a result of including the then anticipated gain from the sale of the Tapoco Hydroelectric Project ($12), and a net charge for other miscellaneous items ($3); for the year ended December 31, 2011, a net charge for a number of small items ($2); for the year ended December 31, 2010, charges for a change in the tax treatment of federal subsidies received related to prescription drug benefits provided under certain retiree health benefit plans ($79), a benefit for the reversal of a valuation allowance related to net operating losses of an international subsidiary that are now realizable due to a settlement with a tax authority ($41), a benefit for a change in a Canadian provincial tax law permitting tax returns to be filed in U.S. dollars ($24), a charge based on settlement discussions of several matters with international taxing authorities ($18), a charge for a tax rate change in Brazil ($11), and a net benefit for other miscellaneous items ($3); and for the year ended December 31, 2009, a benefit for the reorganization of an equity investment in Canada ($71), a charge for the write-off of deferred tax assets related to operations in Italy ($41), a benefit for a tax rate change in Iceland ($31), a benefit for a change in a Canadian national tax law permitting tax returns to be filed in U.S. dollars ($28), and a benefit for the reversal of a valuation allowance on net operating losses in Norway ($21). 58

Reconciliation of Return on Net Assets (continued) For internal analysis and historical comparison purposes, Net (loss) income attributable to Arconic – as adjusted and Net assets are allocated to the Upstream and Downstream businesses based on (i) the underlying After-tax operating income (ATOI) and Net assets of the respective segments plus (ii) an allocation of the Net (loss) income attributable to Arconic – as adjusted and Net assets assigned to Corporate [“Corporate expenses and assets”]. Corporate expenses and assets are generally allocated based on the Total assets less Current liabilities of the respective segments. As an example, using the aforementioned allocation process, 2015 interest expense ($498) for the former Alcoa Inc was allocated $271 to Upstream and $227 to Downstream. Other potentially significant items assigned to Corporate include, but are not limited to, the impact of LIFO inventory accounting; general administrative and selling expenses of operating the corporate headquarters and other global administrative facilities; differences between tax rates applicable to the segments and the consolidated effective tax rate; corporate fixed assets; and LIFO reserves. The Deferred purchase price receivable relates to an arrangement to sell certain customer receivables to several financial institutions on a recurring basis. Arconic adds back the receivable for the purposes of the Return on Net Assets calculation. 60
