welcOme tO waSHINgtON, d.c.We couldn’t be more excited to welcome you to the heart of the Nation’s Capital for Aluminum Week 2014. A joint effort of the Aluminum Association and the Aluminum Extruders Council, Aluminum Week is the premier gathering of

aluminum industry executives from around the country. We’ll have an opportunity this week to share the aluminum industry’s great story with key decision makers here in Washington, D.C. Our voices will be stronger together.

We are located in the trendy Penn Quarter neighborhood of Washington, D.C. at the Grand Hyatt Washington. We are literally steps from many of the city’s best restaurants, shopping, museums and other amenities. A quick Metro ride (or light walk) will take you to famous landmarks like the White House, Washington Monument and National Mall.The theme of this year’s meeting is Aluminum: Driving Modern Manufacturing. And, as you’ll learn in the coming days, the industry is doing just that. From the announcement of the aluminum-intensive Ford F-150 to more than $1 billion in announced investment for U.S. plant expansions, the aluminum industry is on the move.Highlights of Aluminum Week 2014 include:• An optional half-day of visits to key Capitol Hill offices to advocate

on behalf of the broader aluminum industry.• Thursday’s joint General Session, which will include:

A talk by Richard Schultz, Managing Director of Ducker Worldwide, on the latest study projecting accelerating use of aluminum in automotive applications.

Legendary Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward on the dynamics at play in today’s politics.

Janet mcCabe, Acting Assistant Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on the regulatory environment.

• Receptions (including a joint event on Capitol Hill on Wednesday evening) and other networking opportunities throughout the week.

The Aluminum Association and the Aluminum Extruders Council will also have numerous committee meetings and activities taking place throughout the week, which are detailed in this brochure.So, thank you for joining us for aluminum’s big week. We look forward to some dynamic days ahead as we highlight how our favorite metal is driving modern manufacturing!

Aluminum is an industry on the move. From steady demand growth in many of our key markets to the game-changing announcement of the aluminum-intensive Ford F-150, our metal will continue to play a major role in the modern manufacturing renaissance taking place in North America today. Lightweight, strong and infinitely recyclable, aluminum is exceptionally well-positioned as the material of choice for future generations. Already, the aluminum industry contributes hundreds of thousands of jobs and more than $150 billion in total economic activity domestically. And in the past year, the industry has announced an additional $1 billion in plant expansions in the U.S. As we meet here in Washington, D.C. these next few days, we’ll share this story with key decision-makers to help them understand how this vital industry is driving modern manufacturing.

tHe alUmINUm aSSOcIatION aNtItRUSt POlIcY statements and guidelinesINTRODuCTIONIt is the policy of the Aluminum Association and its members to comply strictly with all laws applicable to Association activities. Association activities involve cooperative undertakings and meetings of competitors. It is important to emphasize the on-going commitment of our members and the Aluminum Association to full compliance with federal and state antitrust laws. This statement is being distributed at Aluminum Association meetings as a reminder of that commitment and as a general guide for our activities and meetings.

ReSpONSIBIlITY fOR ANTITRuST COmplIANCeThe Aluminum Association’s structure has been fashioned and its program is carried out in conformance with antitrust standards. An equal responsibility for antitrust compliance – which includes avoidance of even an appearance of improper activity – is yours. your corporate employer and this Association depend on your good judgment to avoid all discussions and activities which may involve improper subject matter or improper procedures. Association staff members work conscientiously to avoid subject matter or discussion which may have unintended implications, and counsel for the Association provides guidance with regard to these matters. It is important for you to realize, however, that the competitive significance of a particular conduct or communication probably is most evident to you who are directly involved in the industry.

ANTITRuST GuIDelINeSIn general, the antitrust laws seek to preserve a free, competitive economy and trade in the United States and in commerce with foreign countries. Competitors may not restrain competition among themselves with reference to the price, the quality or the distribution of their products, and they may not act in concert to restrict the competitive capabilities or opportunities of their competitors, their suppliers or their customers.Penalties for violating the antitrust laws are severe: corporations are subject to heavy fines and injunctive decrees, and may have to pay substantial damage judgments to injured competitors, suppliers or customers. Individuals are subject to criminal prosecution, and may be punished by fines and imprisonment.Since you have an important responsibility in ensuring antitrust compliance in Association activities, you should read and heed the following guidelines.

• Don’t discuss with other members your own or competitors’ prices, or anything that might affect prices such as costs, discounts, terms of sale, or profit margins.

• Don’t stay at a meeting where any such price talk occurs.

• Don’t make public announcements or statements about your own prices or those of competitors at Association functions.

• Don’t talk about what individual companies plan to do in particular geographic or product markets or with particular customers.

• Don’t disclose to others at meetings or otherwise any competitively sensitive information.

• Do conduct all Aluminum Association business meetings in accordance with Association rules. These rules require that an Association staff member be present, the agenda be followed and minutes be kept.

• Do confer with counsel before bringing up any topic or making any statement with competitive ramifications.

• Do send copies of all Association-related correspondence to the staff member involved in the activity.

• Do alert the Association staff to any inaccuracies in proposed statements to be made by the Association on behalf of the aluminum industry, particularly statements to government officials.

• Remember that meetings with government officials may not provide a shield against antitrust liability.

CONCluSIONCompliance with these guidelines involves not only avoidance of antitrust violations, but avoidance of any behavior which might be so construed. Bear in mind, however, that the antitrust laws are stated in general terms, and that this statement is not a summary of applicable laws. It is intended only to highlight and emphasize the principal antitrust standards which are relevant to Aluminum Association programs. you must, therefore, seek the guidance of either Association counsel or your own corporate counsel if antitrust questions arise.Corporate Counsel, Baker & Hostetler LLP (202) 861-1500

tHe alUmINUm extRUdeRS cOUNcIl aNtItRUSt POlIcY statements and guidelinesTHe AlumINum exTRuDeRS COuNCIl is committed to strict compliance with all laws applicable to carrying out its objects, and in the conduct of its activities. Its programs involve cooperative efforts to accomplish those objects, including the frequent meeting of competitors and their suppliers. It is therefore important to emphasize the ongoing responsibility of the Council and its members to comply fully with federal and state antitrust laws.

The officers and directors, as governing representatives of the membership, are aware of their responsibility and conduct their meetings and adopt programs and activities in strict compliance with all laws applicable to associations. An equal responsibility for antitrust compliance rests with all members of the Council. your corporate employer and the Council depend on you as a member to use your good judgment to avoid all discussions and activities which may involve improper subject matter, or discussions which may have unintended implications, and avoidance of even an appearance of improper activity. you, who are directly involved in the industry either as a manufacturer or supplier, must take every precaution to assure that your conduct at association meetings or with competitors at any time will not have implications of an antitrust nature. The following guidelines are for your guidance in your relationships with your fellow members.

GuIDelINeS1. DON'T discuss with other members your own

or competitors' prices, or anything that might affect prices such as costs, discounts, terms of sale, or profit margins.

2. DON'T stay at a meeting where any such price talk occurs.

3. DON'T make public announcements or statements about your own prices or those of competitors at any Council function.

4. DON'T talk about what individual companies plan to do in particular geographic or product markets or with particular customers.

5. DON'T disclose to others at meetings or otherwise any competitively sensitive information.

6. DO have a Council staff person present at any meetings you conduct and insist on the agenda being followed and minutes kept.

7. DO confer with counsel before bringing up any topic or making any statement with competitive ramifications.

8. DO send copies of all association-related correspondence to the Council office.

9. DO alert the Council staff to any inaccuracies in proposed statements to be made by the association on behalf of the aluminum extrusion industry, particularly statements to government officials.

10. DO remember that meetings with government officials may not provide a shield against antitrust liability.

CONCluSIONCompliance with these guidelines involves not only avoidance of antitrust violations, but avoidance of any behavior that might be so construed. Bear in mind, however, that the antitrust laws are stated in general terms, and that this statement is not a summary of applicable laws. It is intended only to highlight and emphasize the principal antitrust standards, which are relevant to Aluminum Extruders Council programs. you must, therefore, seek the guidance of either association counsel or your own corporate counsel if antitrust questions arise.
