Dear Shareholder,
DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PLAN (DRP)
The Directors of Alumina Limited recently announced the recommencement of the Company's Dividend
Reinvestment Plan (the "Plan"), which had been suspended since February 2010.
The Plan offers eligible shareholders the opportunity to reinvest all or part of their future dividends in additional ordinary shares in the Company. It provides participants with a convenient and cost-effective way to increase their shareholdings in Alumina. There are no brokerage or other transaction costs payable by participants in the Plan. The price of shares acquired under the Plan may be subject to a discount (not exceeding 2%) determined by the Directors from time to time.
You have previously elected to participate in the Plan. Details of your participation, in particular whether it applies to all or only part of your existing holding of Alumina shares, are set out below. Your participation continues to apply, despite the previous suspension of the Plan.
This shareholding is currently recorded as a FULL DRP participant.
If you do nothing, your participation in the Plan will continue on the basis set out above.
Participants in the Plan are strongly encouraged to seek their own independent professional advice regarding whether they should continue, vary or terminate their participation in the Plan, and to read the full Terms and Conditions of the Plan, which have recently been updated. The Terms and Conditions can be downloaded at www.aluminalimited.com or a free hard copy of them can be requested by contacting Alumina's Share Registrar, Computershare Investor Services Pty Limited, the contact details of which are listed on the Dividend Reinvestment Plan form.
Samples/000001/000001
The main features of the Plan are:
• All holders of fully paid ordinary Alumina shares with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand (other than shareholders who are "U.S. persons", and other than shareholders to the extent that they are acting for the account or benefit of a "U.S. person", in each case as "U.S. person" is defined in clause 16 (b) of the Plan Terms and Conditions) are eligible to participate in the Plan. Shareholders with registered addresses outside Australia and New Zealand (or who are "U.S. persons", or who are acting for the account or benefit of a "U.S. person", to that extent) are not permitted to participate in the Plan. This is due to legal requirements that make it unlawful to offer shares to residents of some countries without first issuing a disclosure document or registration statement or satisfying other prerequisites.
• Eligible shareholders may elect to receive additional Alumina shares instead of cash for dividends on all or part of their existing holding of Alumina shares.
• Participation in the Plan is optional. Shareholders may vary or cancel their participation in the Plan at any time in accordance with the Plan Terms and Conditions, by lodging a Dividend Reinvestment Plan form with the Company's Share Registrar, completed in accordance with the instructions provided by or on behalf of the Company and authenticated by any means authorised by the Directors from time to time.
• Shares issued under the Plan rank equally in all respects with existing fully paid Alumina ordinary shares from the date of issue and carry the same voting rights and the same entitlements to dividends and to bonus and rights issues. The same applies to shares that are transferred under the Plan, which will be existing shares.
• Shares will be allocated under the Plan at a price equal to the arithmetic average of the daily volume weighted average market price for all fully paid ordinary Alumina shares (subject to certain limited exclusions) that are sold on the Australian Securities Exchange (and any other relevant trading platforms or systems determined by the Directors) over the period of seven trading days commencing on the second trading day immediately after the relevant dividend record date, or such other period as is
determined by the Directors. A discount (not exceeding 2%) that is determined by the Directors from time to time may be applied to that price. The relevant pricing period and any discount will be announced by Alumina at the same time as announcing any dividend to which the Plan applies. Please note that the announcement of any dividend and any applicable discount will be released on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) and the Company web site only. Written notification to shareholders will not be issued.
If you have any questions in relation to the operation of the Plan, please contact the Alumina Share
Registrar, using the contact details listed on the Dividend Reinvestment Plan form.
Please note that the Dividend Reinvestment Plan form is referred to as either 'DRP Notice of Election' or
'DRP Notice of Variation' in the Terms and Conditions.
Yours sincerely
G JOHN PIZZEY CHAIRMAN
