Deregistration of Securities
     On November 15, 1996, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (the “Company”) filed a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) that provided for the offer and sale by the Company of shares of the Company’s preferred stock, par value $.05 per share (“Preferred Stock”), fractional interests of Preferred Stock represented by depositary shares, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (“Common Stock”), warrants to purchase Preferred Stock or Common Stock, or any combination of the foregoing (collectively, the “Securities”), at an aggregate initial offering price not to exceed $150,000,000. No Securities were offered or sold under the Registration Statement.
     On February 12, 2002, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code. On February 6, 2006, the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered an order confirming the Second Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation, Kaiser Aluminum & Chemical Corporation and Certain of Their Debtor Affiliates, dated September 7, 2005, as modified (the “Plan”), which confirmation order was affirmed by an order of the United States District Court for the District of Delaware entered on May 11, 2006. As a result of the actions contemplated by the Plan, the Company has concluded that it will not offer or sell any Securities under the Registration Statement and, accordingly, is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement to deregister, as of the date hereof, all Securities included in the Registration Statement that were not previously offered or sold.
