What else do investors need to know?

Alcoa advises CDI holders to ensure their payment instructions are up to date to avoid potential delays. Holders in Australia, New Zealand, the UK, or US must provide direct credit details, otherwise dividend payments will be withheld until valid banking information is received.

For those residing outside these countries, payments will be made by cheque in Australian dollars unless alternative global wire instructions are received. Alcoa also reminds investors that non-resident withholding tax will be deducted according to US tax law, with the standard rate set at 30% unless a valid tax treaty certification is in place.

Looking ahead, Alcoa CDI holders can update their currency preferences and banking details until 10 March 2026 to ensure smooth dividend reception. The AUD equivalent for this dividend will be announced by 20 March 2026.

Alcoa continues to emphasise its commitment to consistent shareholder returns by maintaining regular quarterly payments while supporting its operational and financial strategies.
