Employer Identification Number) 6177 Sunol Boulevard Pleasanton, California (Address of Principal Executive Offices) 94566-7769 (Zip Code) Registrant's telephone number, including area code: (510) 462-1122 - ----------------------------------------------------------------- Item 5. Other Events. Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation (the "Company") incurred net losses of $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of 1996, compared to net income of $22.2 million in the comparable periods in 1995, due principally to lower average realized prices for alumina and primary aluminum, high energy-related costs in the Company's alumina business unit and nonrecurring maintenance expense associated with scheduled downtime at the Trentwood, Washington, rolling mill. Fourth quarter results include an after tax, non-cash benefit of approximately $17.0 million resulting from favorable settlements of certain tax matters in December 1996. Excluding the impact of these non-recurring items, the net losses reported for the fourth quarter of 1996 would have significantly exceeded the net losses incurred in the third quarter of 1996. For the full year, the Company reported net income of $13.2 million, compared to net income of $65.3 million for 1995. SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
