Alumina Limited and Xxxxx Xxxxx

This is a contract of employment between Alumina Limited (ACN 85 004 820 419) of Xxxxx 00, XXX Centre, 00 Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx 0000 (Alumina) and Xxxxx Xxxxx of 000 Xx Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxx, XX, 0000 who have agreed that Xxxxx Xxxxx will be employed by Alumina on the terms of this contract of employment.

The formal terms of this contract of employment are as follows:

1. POSITION AND COMMENCEMENT

You will be employed in the position of Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, reporting to the Chairman. It is a condition of your appointment as Chief Executive Officer that you will be appointed also as a director of Alumina. You acknowledge that you are not entitled to any additional remuneration for acting as a director of Alumina.

Your employment under this contract of employment will be effective from 1 January 2014.

You will be employed in Alumina’s office at Xxxxx 00, XXX Centre, 00 Xxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 0000. Alumina will provide car parking within the building at which its offices are located.

You have informed us that you intend to relocate to Melbourne as soon as practicable. In the meantime, you will commute on a weekly basis between Adelaide and Melbourne. In accordance with clause 2 below, relocation costs will be recompensed to you, including travel and accommodation, until the earlier of your occupation of a property in Melbourne and 30 June 2014.

2. REMUNERATION

Your remuneration will fully compensate you for all entitlements including hours you work outside Alumina’s normal office hours.

The components of your remuneration, and the value or potential value of each, are as follows:

• Fixed Annual Reward (FAR) of $1,150,000 per annum, including superannuation, effective 1 January 2014; and

• Short Term Incentive (STI) of up to $400,000 per annum ($300,000 at target); and

• Long Term Incentive (LTI) of up to $400,000 per annum, with the first allocation of performance rights by February 2014; and

• Share Right Grant: Grant of $200,000 in Alumina Limited share rights per annum (which are subject to a service condition of 18 months from the date of grant).

FAR

Your FAR will be paid monthly, less applicable tax, half in arrears and half in advance, by direct transfer into your nominated account/(s) with a bank or other approved, financial institution.

Your FAR payment is inclusive of your superannuation benefit. You will be required to salary sacrifice the minimum statutory superannuation contribution to a complying approved superannuation plan of your choice. The minimum required contribution you must make under the superannuation guarantee legislation is currently 9.25% of your superannuation earnings base. If there is any increase in the minimum level of superannuation contributions that Alumina must make consistent with its obligations under the superannuation guarantee legislation, your FAR will be varied so there is no overall increase in the total cost to Alumina of your FAR.

26/11/2013 Contract of Employment Page 2    

Alumina Limited and Xxxxx Xxxxx

STI

You will be entitled to participate in the Short Term Incentive (STI) scheme operated by Alumina. This scheme may change from time to time or be replaced by another scheme at Alumina’s absolute discretion. You will, of course, be consulted about any proposed changes to the STI scheme, and will be informed of any changes that may be made to the STI scheme.

The STI scheme will provide for you to be eligible to receive up to $400,000 per annum ($300,000 at target) payable in cash, subject to the review and approval of the Compensation Committee. Alumina has the absolute discretion whether or not to grant you any award and to determine the quantum of such an award.

Under the current STI scheme.

(a) 50% of the STI will be determined by reference to your performance against individual objectives which are focused on business development, capital management, shareholder relations and governance, tax planning, funding initiatives, joint venture agreements with Alcoa and influencing AWAC strategy development and operational performance. Specific objectives will be developed in consultation with you.

(b) The other 50% will be determined by the Alumina Board’s assessment of an annual corporate scorecard, which will be subject to a minimum threshold of Alumina making an annual profit after excluding any non-recurring items that are not in the ordinary course of business.

The annual Corporate Scorecard will include a combination of measures, some of which will be in relation to financial performance of Alumina.

Where your employment ceases before the end of any year, any STI award that Alumina otherwise determines to grant to you in respect of that year will be pro rated on the basis on the proportion of the year that elapsed before termination. Assessment against individual performance objectives and the Corporate Scorecard will occur at the usual time and in the usual manner.

LTI

You may be invited to participate in the Alumina Limited Employee Share Plan from time to time. Any such invitation is in the absolute discretion of the Alumina Board and will be subject to shareholder approval. The first invitation to participate shall occur by February 2014.

This incentive component of your remuneration may provide you with the opportunity to receive in each performance year Performance Rights valued around the time of the invitation at up to $400,000, as determined by the Board in accordance with the usual operation of the Employee Share Plan.

All Performance Rights will be tested against the Total Shareholder Return (TSR) hurdle against two benchmark groups. The Comparator groups may vary over time but are currently the ASX 100 Comparator Group excluding the top 20 companies by market capitalisation and property trusts, and 8 listed alumina and aluminium companies.

Performance Rights will be tested over a three year test period, commencing on the effective grant date as determined by the Board in accordance with the usual operation of the Employee Share Plan (which is usually in the December preceding the invitation relating to the Performance Rights).

26/11/2013 Contract of Employment Page 3    

Alumina Limited and Xxxxx Xxxxx

A result which is less than the 50^th percentile of the relevant benchmark groups over the relevant test period would attract no vesting of Performance Rights. A result that is equivalent to the 50^th percentile of the relevant benchmark groups over the relevant test period would attract vesting of Performance Rights equivalent to 50% of the rights attributable to satisfaction of that objective. A result that is equivalent to the 75^th percentile of the relevant benchmark groups over the relevant test period would attract vesting of Performance Rights equivalent to 100% of the rights attributable to satisfaction of that objective. A result between the 50^th and 75^th percentiles of the relevant benchmark groups would be determined pro rata.

If your employment ceases before the end of the test period for Performance Rights and the Board has not determined under the Employee Share Plan to forfeit those Performance Rights on the basis that your status is not that of a good leaver, any vesting of Performance Rights that would otherwise have occurred at the end of the test period will be further pro rated on the basis on the proportion of the test period that elapsed before termination. The remainder of the Performance Rights will lapse.

Annual Grant of Share Rights

Each year during your employment with Alumina, you will be granted conditional rights to receive $200,000 in Alumina Limited shares (valued around the time of grant of the share rights, as determined by the Board). The grant will occur by February in each year.

Subject to any immediate vesting in accordance with clause 9, vesting of the share rights will occur upon your being employed by Alumina for a period of 18 months from the date of grant. If you are not employed by Alumina for a period of 18 months from the date of grant the share rights shall lapse, subject to any immediate vesting in accordance with clause 9.

Upon vesting and subject to the paragraphs below:

(i) Alumina will provide you with the relevant number of Alumina shares, which will be purchased by Alumina on-market (i.e., Alumina is not obliged to and will not issue new shares to provide to you); and

(ii) from that time you will be legally and beneficially entitled to the shares, and any dividends payable in respect of them.

Notwithstanding anything else in this contract, if at the time that Alumina must deliver shares to you it is prohibited by any law or regulatory requirement (such as xxxxxxx xxxxxxx laws) from acquiring its shares on-market, the shares will be acquired by Alumina and delivered to you at the earliest possible time.

You will not be entitled to dispose of the shares received on vesting of share rights while you are employed by Alumina, unless and until the period of three (3) years has elapsed since granting of the relevant share rights. Alumina may administer its register of members and make such arrangements and do all things necessary or desirable to prevent any disposal contrary to this requirement, including, without limitation, instructing Alumina’s share registry to apply a holding lock to the relevant shares.

If your employment ceases within 3 years from the date of grant of share rights and the Board determines that your status is not that of a good leaver, the Board may decide that shares that you have received (or will receive) upon vesting of the share rights are subject to immediate forfeiture. In that case, the shares will be transferred by the Company Secretary of Alumina as attorney on your behalf to a person nominated by the Board, and you will not be entitled to receive any consideration for that transfer.

Termination with notice

This contract and your employment may be terminated by your giving twelve (12) months notice in writing to Alumina, or by Alumina giving twelve (12) months notice in writing to you.

Alumina may in its absolute discretion make a payment to you in lieu of some or all of the notice period given by it or by you. Any such payment will be calculated according to your “Base Remuneration”, which is defined as FAR. In those circumstances, and if the Board determines that your status is that of a good leaver, any unvested share rights that have been granted to you and would have vested had you remained in employment with Alumina during the notice period (in accordance with the annual grant of share rights under clause 2) will also immediately vest and the applicable shares will be transferred to you on termination of your employment (or as soon afterwards as legal and regulatory requirements permit).

Alumina may at its absolute discretion direct you to not attend at work and not to have any contact with employees, customers or suppliers of Alumina, during the notice period. This direction may be given at the outset of or at any time during the notice period.

If you resign without giving twelve (12) months’ notice, Alumina may to the extent permitted by law withhold from any payment to be made to you on termination an amount equivalent to the amount of outstanding notice to be served calculated in accordance with your Base Remuneration.

Notwithstanding any other clause in this contract, unless and until Alumina obtains any required shareholder approval in accordance with the Corporations Act, the maximum benefits to which you are entitled on termination of your employment (including redundancy) is the maximum permitted to be provided to you in the absence of such shareholder approval in accordance with the Corporations Act and associated regulations. For the avoidance of doubt, this clause imposes no obligation on Alumina to seek or obtain such approval.

Resignation as a director

Immediately on termination for any reason (including resignation):

(a) you will, to the extent allowed by the Corporations Act, resign from every office, including all directorships and other appointments, to which you were appointed or which you hold otherwise by virtue of your employment of Alumina; and

(b) the Company Secretary of Alumina may act as your attorney to execute all documents and do all things reasonably required by Alumina to give effect to paragraph (a).

Restraint

You agree that for 12 months following the termination of your employment for any reason, you will not directly or indirectly be engaged or involved in Alcoa’s business. You acknowledge that this undertaking is reasonable and necessary for the protection of Alumina’s legitimate business interests and that damages alone would be an insufficient remedy for any breach by you of this clause and Alumina will be entitled to obtain injunctive relief restraining you from any breach of this clause.

26/11/2013 Contract of Employment Page 8    

Alumina Limited and Xxxxx Xxxxx

10. REDUNDANCY

In the event that your employment is terminated on the basis of the redundancy of your position, and you are not offered suitable alternative employment, you will be entitled to the redundancy and termination benefits provided for in this clause.

Where you are entitled to receive a redundancy payment under this clause, your payment will be calculated according to your Base Remuneration as defined in clause 9 above.

Subject to the limits set out above, if your employment is terminated on the basis of the redundancy of your position, you will be entitled to the following in accordance with Alumina’s ‘Leaving the Company’ policy:

(a) a payment of your accrued annual leave and (if applicable) long service leave entitlements, provided that pro rata long service leave benefits will only be paid if you have three (3) years or more continuous service;

(b) a payment comprising your notice payment, redundancy payment and additional redundancy payment, as specified below; and

(c) in appropriate cases, outplacement support, details of which are provided in Alumina’s ‘Leaving the Company’ policy.

For the purpose of determining the amount that may be payable under paragraph (b) above:

(i) the notice payment will be the notice period provided for in this contract of employment, less any period of actual notice provided by Alumina;

(ii) a redundancy payment will be two and a half (2.5) weeks per completed year of service, pro-rated for completed months of service; and

(iii) an additional redundancy payment will be thirteen (13) weeks additional ex-gratia payment.

If Alumina makes a payment in lieu of notice to you, the potential for immediate vesting of unvested share rights will apply in accordance with clause 9 above.

11. SIGNIFICANT CHANGE

In the event of a ‘Significant Change’ as defined below, you may elect to terminate your employment with Alumina in accordance with clause 10, by providing written notice to Alumina within 28 days of the Significant Change event occurring.

For the purpose of this clause, a Significant Change means:

• if Alumina ceases to be listed on the Australian Securities Exchange; or

• if there is a significant change in the status and/or responsibilities of your position which is detrimental to you (where you do not consent to the change in status and/or responsibilities);

If your employment with Alumina terminates in accordance with this clause 11, you will be entitled to receive the payments set out in clause 10. Such payments will be taxed in accordance with relevant taxation legislation and, subject to the particular circumstances of the termination of employment, may not attract the concessional taxation treatment afforded to bona fide redundancy payments.

If Alumina makes a payment in lieu of notice to you, the potential for immediate vesting of unvested share rights will apply in accordance with clause 9 above.
