Summary
This Form 8-K filing by Alcoa Inc. (which was the parent company before the spin-off of Howmet Aerospace) on January 10, 2008, primarily serves to report the issuance of a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2007. While the filing itself is procedural, the attached press release (Exhibit 99) contains the crucial financial data that investors would be interested in. The report indicates that Alcoa released its quarterly and annual performance figures on January 9, 2008.
