The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet as of June 30, 2000 gives effect
to the Alcan and algroup combination and related transactions as if such
transactions occurred on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined statements
of income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 and for the year ended
December 31, 1999 give effect to the Alcan and algroup combination and related
transactions as if such transactions had occurred on January 1, 1999. Certain
reclassifications have been made to the algroup historical financial statements
to conform to the presentation to be used by Alcan.
The combination has been accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
In accordance with Canadian GAAP, the purchase price is based on the market
value of the Alcan common shares for a reasonable period of time before and
after October 17, 2000, the date the transaction was consummated. The average
price of the Alcan common shares for the five trading days beginning on October
13 and ending on October 19, 2000 was $30.11 per share. The total purchase price
has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities
acquired based upon their fair values determined with the assistance of
independent appraisers. The purchase price allocation is preliminary, based on
facts currently known to Alcan. However, Alcan management does not expect
significant changes in the purchase price allocation. The final allocation of
the purchase price will be based upon valuations and other studies including
independent appraisals that have not been completed. It is expected that the
appraisals will be completed in early January 2001. The excess of the purchase
price over the fair market value of the net assets acquired will be treated as
goodwill, to be amortized over 40 years.

For the purpose of the unaudited pro forma combined financial statements,
the purchase price and goodwill have been determined as follows:

</TABLE>
The accompanying unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are based on
and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial
statements of Alcan and algroup for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the
six-month period ended June 30, 2000, including the notes thereto which are
included with this filing.
The pro forma adjustments are based upon available information and include
certain assumptions and adjustments, which the management of Alcan believes to
be reasonable. These adjustments are directly attributable to the combination
and are expected to have a continuing impact on Alcan's business, results of
operations and financial position. The unaudited pro forma combined financial
statements do not give effect to any potential cost savings or other synergies
that could result from the combination. Plans are currently in development to
integrate the operations of Alcan and algroup. A preliminary estimate of costs
related to the integration and to be included in the purchase price allocation
is $80 million consisting principally of severance costs. To the extent that
other integration costs are incurred and not accounted for as accrued
liabilities at the date of consummation of the combination, a charge may result,
which may be material. The amount of the charge cannot be quantified at this
time, but is expected to be recognized in the period in which restructuring
occurs. To the extent that integration costs are accounted for as accrued
liabilities and included in the allocation of the purchase price consideration,
the amount allocated to goodwill would increase, and pro forma net income from
continuing operations would decrease.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements are not necessarily
indicative either of the results that actually would have been achieved if the
transactions reflected therein had been effective during the periods presented
or of the results which may be obtained in the future.

Canadian GAAP pro forma and business divestiture adjustments as of June 30,

statements of income information for the year ended December 31, 1999, and
for the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 and related Canadian GAAP pro
forma and business divestiture adjustments to the unaudited pro forma

of US$ 1 - CHF 1.5023, and US$ 1 - CHF 1.6512, respectively.

5. BUSINESS DIVESTITURES
Pursuant to the European Commission's decision to authorize the
combination, Alcan agreed to divest the following algroup businesses:
o the alumina trihydrate plant at Martinswerk, Germany;
o the Star lithographic sheet mill at Bridgenorth, United Kingdom;
and,
o certain machines producing semi-rigid aluminum containers.
These divestitures are required to be completed by March 31, 2001.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements have been
adjusted to record the impact of these divestitures. The net assets to
be divested have been included in Deferred charges and other assets in
the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and the results of
operations from these assets have been removed from the unaudited pro
forma statements of income.
6. U.S. GAAP

June 30, 2000 would be $9,018, pro forma combined net income for the
year ended December 31, 1999 and for the six-month period ended June
30, 2000 would be $411 million and $427 million, respectively. Basic
combined pro forma earnings per share for the year ended December 31,
1999 and the six-month period ended June 30, 2000 would be $1.27 and
