Alcoa Proposes $2.2 Billion Bid for Full Control of Alumina Ltd Amid Commodity Sector Turbulence

In a strategic move amidst a flurry of mergers and acquisitions within the commodities industry, Alcoa Corp. (AA), a prominent American aluminum manufacturer, has tabled a $2.2 billion proposal to acquire its joint-venture partner, Alumina Ltd (AWCMF), under the Alcoa World Alumina & Chemicals (AWAC) banner.

The offer, structured entirely in stock, entails Alcoa offering 0.02854 of its own shares for each Alumina share, representing a generous 13.1% premium over Alumina’s Friday closing price. Following the rejection of prior proposals, Alumina’s board has given its nod of approval to this arrangement. Moreover, Alcoa has clinched a deal to purchase Allan Gray Australia’s 19.9% stake in Alumina, cementing its majority ownership position.

“Alcoa’s track record in managing AWAC operations is commendable, and we discern significant value creation prospects through a streamlined ownership framework,” remarked William F. Oplinger, Alcoa’s president, and CEO.

Despite recent operational hurdles such as refinery issues and a transition to lower-grade bauxite mining in Western Australia, Alcoa remains optimistic about the acquisition’s potential to bolster its foothold in premier bauxite and alumina enterprises.

Upon successful completion, this move would furnish Alcoa with complete dominion over AWAC, the globe’s foremost producer of semi-processed aluminum. AWAC’s refinery network, as per Alumina, contributes to nearly 10% of the world’s aluminum output.

This bid unfolds against the backdrop of Alcoa’s recent management restructuring, prompted by operational and regulatory complexities in Australia, particularly within its bauxite mining segment. In January, Alcoa announced the cessation of operations at its Kwinana alumina facility in Western Australia as part of its ongoing operational streamlining efforts.

Aluminum, renowned for its versatility across applications ranging from window frames to aircraft components, is poised for sustained expansion. The transition towards eco-friendly energy sources like electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure is expected to fuel long-term demand. However, aluminum prices, after reaching a peak of $3,866 per ton in February 2022, have since hovered around the $2,200 mark for the majority of 2023, hinting at a potential breakout.

“Growth in aluminum-intensive electric vehicles and renewable energy infrastructure globally will continue to bolster this favorable trajectory,” Oplinger remarked during a recent earnings call.

Alumina has enlisted the advisory expertise of Flagstaff Partners and BofA Securities, with legal counsel provided by King & Wood Mallesons. JPMorgan Securities and UBS Investment Bank are advising Alcoa on financial matters, while legal counsel is being provided by Ashurst and Davis Polk & Wardwell LLP.
