Alcan Inc. (''Alcan'' or the ''Company'') held its Annual Meeting of Shareholders on April 27, 2006. Alcan's Chairman of the Board, L. Yves Fortier, provided remarks, followed by Alcan's President and Chief Executive Officer, Richard B. Evans, who discussed the Company's business and financial performance. The presentations are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are incorporated by reference.

The information included in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.

Certain slides accompanying Mr. Evans' presentation will be posted on Alcan's website at www.alcan.com.

Forward-Looking Statements

Statements made in the exhibits hereto which describe the Company's or management's objectives, projections, estimates, expectations or predictions of the future may be "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of securities laws, which can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as "believes", "expects", "may", "will", "should", "estimates", "anticipates" or the negative thereof or other variations thereon.  All statements that address the Company's expectations or projections about the future including statements about the Company's growth, cost reduction goals, expenditures and financial results are forward-looking statements. The Company cautions that, by their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty and that the Company's actual actions or results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements or could affect the extent to which a particular projection is realized.  Reference should be made to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of factors that could cause such differences.
