In 2008, Alcoa made a $47 contingent payment related to a 2003 acquisition (see 2008 Acquisitions). This payment
was recorded as an adjustment to goodwill and was included in Acquisitions, net of cash acquired on the accompanying
Statement of Consolidated Cash Flows. In connection with the 2005 acquisition of two fabricating facilities in Russia,
Alcoa could be required to make contingent payments of approximately $50 through 2015 based upon the achievement
of various financial and operating targets. Any such payment would be reflected as additional goodwill.

caused partial liquidations of the lower cost LIFO inventory base. These liquidations resulted in the recognition of
