Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 4, 2026, Alcoa Corporation (the “Company”), Alcoa Nederland Holding B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Borrower”), and certain subsidiaries of the Company, entered into Amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to the Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of September 16, 2016, as amended as of October 26, 2016, as amended and restated as of November 14, 2017, as amended and restated as of November 21, 2018, as amended as of August 16, 2019, as amended as of April 21, 2020, as amended as of June 24, 2020, as amended as of March 4, 2021, as amended and restated as of June 27, 2022, as amended as of January 17, 2024 and as amended as of August 4, 2025 (the “Original Revolving Credit Agreement”), in each case, with a syndicate of lenders and issuers named therein, and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) for the lenders and issuers. Amendment No. 3 was entered into to amend certain terms of the Original Revolving Credit Agreement (the Original Revolving Credit Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 3, the “Amended Revolving Credit Agreement”).

Pursuant to Amendment No. 3, (i) the maturity date of the revolving facility under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement was extended to June 27, 2028 and (ii) the credit spread adjustment (for loans based on the secured overnight financing rate as administered by the New York Federal Reserve Bank), sustainability rate adjustments and sustainability commitment fee adjustments were removed.

Under the terms of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, the Borrower paid to the Administrative Agent, for the benefit of each lender that timely entered into the Amendment No. 3, an amount equal to 0.05% of the amount of such lender’s commitment under the Original Revolving Credit Agreement immediately prior to the effectiveness of Amendment No. 3.

The Amended Revolving Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative covenants, negative covenants, and events of default substantially comparable to the Original Revolving Credit Agreement (other than those that are described above and other minor changes). The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement were made only for purposes of Amendment No. 3 and as of specific dates and were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement.

The aggregate amount of commitments under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement remains at $1.25 billion.

The foregoing description of the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of Amendment No. 3, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

In the ordinary course of their respective businesses, the lenders and letter of credit issuers under the Amended Revolving Credit Agreement, or their affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform, commercial banking, investment banking, trust, advisory or other financial services for the Company and its affiliates for which they have received, and will receive, customary fees and expenses.
