CONSENT SOLICITATION STATEMENT
FOR
THE SOLICITATION OF WRITTEN CONSENTS
TO THE ADOPTION OF AN AMENDMENT TO THE
RESTATED CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
This Consent Solicitation Statement (the "Consent Statement") is
furnished to Stockholders (as defined below) by the Board of Directors (the
"Board") of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), in connection with the solicitation by the Company of the written
consents of the Stockholders to the adoption of an amendment (the "Amendment")
to the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the
"Certificate").
The purpose of the Amendment is to increase the number of shares of
Common Stock which the Company shall have authority to issue by 25,000,000,
from 100,000,000 to 125,000,000, and, consequently, to increase the total
number of shares of all classes of stock which the Company shall have authority
to issue by 25,000,000, from 120,000,000 to 145,000,000. The Amendment is set
forth below under the heading "The Amendment".
There is currently no specific transaction in which such additional
authorized shares of Common Stock will be issued. However, the availability of
an increased number of authorized shares of Common Stock would improve the
flexibility of the Company to issue Common Stock under the Company's employee
benefit plans, in connection with the raising of capital under the Company's
effective "shelf" registration statement covering equity securities of the
Company up to a maximum aggregate offering price of $150 million, and in
connection with other transactions that involve the issuance of Common Stock of
the Company. Subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Company does not
intend to solicit further authorization from the holders of Common Stock for
the issuance of the Common Stock authorized by the Amendment.
The Company intends to distribute this Consent Statement and the
accompanying Written Consent of Stockholders (the "Consent Card") commencing on
or about December 17, 1999, to the holders of record as of the close of business
on December 15, 1999 (the "Record Date"), of the Company's Common Stock, par
value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"), all such holders being collectively
referred to as the "Stockholders". Written consents of Stockholders representing
a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock at the Record Date are
required to approve the Amendment.
The principal executive offices of the Company are located at 5847 San
Felipe, Suite 2600, Houston, Texas 77057, and the telephone number of the
Company is (713) 267-3777.
The Amendment
The first paragraph of Article FOURTH of the Certificate reads as
follows before giving effect to the Amendment:
"FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of stock
which the corporation shall have authority to issue is ONE HUNDRED
TWENTY MILLION (120,000,000) shares consisting of:
(a) ONE HUNDRED MILLION (100,000,000) shares of the par
value of One Cent ($.01) per share, which shall be
designated Common Stock; and
(b) TWENTY MILLION (20,000,000) shares of the par value
of Five Cents ($.05) per share, which shall be
designated Preferred Stock."
<PAGE> 4
Pursuant to the Amendment, the foregoing first paragraph of Article
FOURTH of the Certificate would be deleted and replaced by the following:
"FOURTH: The total number of shares of all classes of stock
which the corporation shall have authority to issue is ONE HUNDRED
FORTY-FIVE MILLION (145,000,000) shares consisting of:
(a) ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE MILLION (125,000,000) shares
of the par value of One Cent ($.01) per share, which
shall be designated Common Stock; and
(b) TWENTY MILLION (20,000,000) shares of the par value
of Five Cents ($.05) per share, which shall be
designated Preferred Stock."
THE BOARD HAS ADOPTED RESOLUTIONS WHICH SET FORTH THE AMENDMENT,
DECLARE THE ADVISABILITY OF THE AMENDMENT, AND SUBMIT THE AMENDMENT TO THE
STOCKHOLDERS FOR APPROVAL. THE BOARD RECOMMENDS APPROVAL OF THE
AMENDMENT BY THE STOCKHOLDERS.
The Consent Procedure
The Amendment is submitted for Stockholder approval by written
consent. No meeting of the Stockholders will be held to vote on this matter.
Only Stockholders are entitled to consent, to withhold their consent, or to
revoke their consent, to the Amendment. Stockholders are entitled to one
consent for each outstanding share of Common Stock held at the Record Date. As
of the Record Date there were 79,___,___ outstanding shares of Common Stock.
Consents, once dated, signed, and delivered to the Company, will
remain effective unless and until revoked by written notice of revocation
dated, signed, and delivered to the Company at the address set forth below on
or before January 6, 2000.
As of the Record Date, MAXXAM Inc. and one of its subsidiaries were
Stockholders and owned in the aggregate approximately 63% of the outstanding
Common Stock. Those Stockholders have indicated their intent to deliver to the
Company their written consents approving the Amendment. Accordingly, those
Stockholders hold sufficient shares of Common Stock to assure the approval of
the Amendment.
The Amendment will be approved by the Stockholders on January 7, 2000,
if the Company then holds unrevoked written consents of Stockholders approving
the Amendment representing a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock
at the Record Date. Consequently, abstentions and broker non-votes would have
the effect of a vote against approval of the Amendment. Stockholders are
requested to indicate approval of the Amendment by signing and dating the
Consent Card, checking the box on the Consent Card which corresponds to the
approval of the Amendment, and delivering the Consent Card to the Company at the
address set forth below. Withholding of consent to the Amendment, or abstention
with respect to the approval of the Amendment, may be indicated by signing and
dating the Consent Card, checking the box which corresponds to withholding of
consent to the Amendment or abstention with respect to the approval of the
Amendment, respectively, and delivering the Consent Card to the Company at the
address set forth below. A Consent Card which has been signed, dated and
delivered to the Company without any of the boxes for approval, withholding of
consent, or abstention checked will constitute the Stockholder's consent to the
Amendment.
Consent Cards may be delivered to the Company at the following
address:
Kaiser Aluminum Corporation
Attention: Secretary
5847 San Felipe, Suite 2600
Houston, Texas 77057

<PAGE> 5
Consent Cards should be delivered to the Company as soon as possible for
receipt not later than January 6, 2000. An addressed return envelope is
enclosed for this purpose, which requires no postage if mailed in the United
States. Consent Cards and revocations of consents, if any, shall be deemed to
have been received by the Company upon actual delivery of such Consent Cards or
revocations to the Company at the above address.
Stockholders who abstain from consenting with respect to the
Amendment, or who withhold consent to the Amendment, do not have the right to
an appraisal of their shares of Common Stock or any similar dissenter's rights
under applicable law.
Expense of Consent Solicitation
The Company will bear the entire cost of the solicitation of
Stockholder approval of the Amendment, including the preparation, assembly,
printing and mailing of this Consent Statement and any additional material
furnished to Stockholders. In addition, the Company may reimburse certain
persons for their costs of forwarding the solicitation material to
Stockholders. The solicitation of consents by mail may be supplemented by
telephone, telegram and/or personal solicitation by directors, officers and/or
employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid for any of
such services. To assist in the solicitation process, the Company has retained
Corporate Investor Communications, Inc., at an estimated cost of approximately
$1,550, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
No Preemptive Rights
No holder of shares of Common Stock is entitled as such, as a matter
of right, to subscribe for or purchase any part of any new or additional issue
of any stock of any class, series or kind whatsoever, or to subscribe for or
purchase securities convertible into stock of any class, series or kind
whatsoever.
