PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit verifed compliance of our statement with the provisions of the French Commercial Code (article R. 225-105), along with the fairness of the information provided in our state- ment, such as Key performance indicators and measures taken to address risks (article R. 225-105 I, 3, and II of the French Commercial Code). The work of PricewaterhouseCoopers Audit was performed in accordance with the provisions of articles A. 225-1 et seq. of the French Commercial Code, determining the conditions under which an independent third party performs its engagement, and with the professional guidance of the French Institute of Statutory Auditors (“CNCC”) applicable to such engagements, as well as with ISAE 3000 assurance engagements other than audits or reviews of historical fnancial information. The verifcation report of PricewaterhouseCoo- pers Audit (included on page 89 of this report) describes in detail the verifcation work performed. The world has gone through a year of acute challenges, with a global pandemic and an economic downturn. The crisis fundamentally changed the way we live and work, the expectations of customers, and society at large. Aluminium is a remarkably resilient and malleable material, adapting itself to an infinite variety of RESILIENCE needs. Over the past year, Constellium has proven itself to be resilient and adaptable, too. Our people have shown what they are made of, and taken strength from our core values.

  • Department of Justice Will Require a Divestiture If Alcan Inc. Completes Its Pending Tender Offer for Pechiney S.A
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE AT MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2003 (202) 514-2007 WWW.USDOJ.GOV TDD (202) 514-1888 DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE WILL REQUIRE A DIVESTITURE IF ALCAN INC. COMPLETES ITS PENDING TENDER OFFER FOR PECHINEY S.A. Sale of Pechiney’s Ravenswood, West Virginia, Aluminum Rolling Mill and Related Assets Will Preserve Competition in the North American Market for Brazing Sheet WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Department of Justice reached a settlement today with Alcan Inc. that requires Alcan to divest Pechiney S.A.’s aluminum rolling mill in Ravenswood, West Virginia, if Alcan’s pending $4.6 billion tender offer for Pechiney is successful. The tender offer, publicly announced in early July and recently endorsed by Pechiney’s board of directors, is expected to be completed in late November 2003. The Department said that the acquisition, as originally proposed, would substantially lessen competition in the development, production, and sale of brazing sheet, an aluminum alloy used in fabricating radiators, oil coolers, heaters, and air conditioning units for motor vehicles, and would likely result in higher prices. The Department’s Antitrust Division filed a lawsuit today in U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. to block the original transaction. At the same time, the Department filed a proposed consent decree that, if approved by the court, would resolve the Department's competitive concerns and the lawsuit. “The divestiture of Pechiney’s Ravenswood mill will preserve competition for brazing sheet sold in North America, and will allow motor vehicle parts manufacturers to benefit from Alcan’s aggressive competition,” said R. Hewitt Pate, Assistant Attorney General in charge of the Department’s Antitrust Division.

  • Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin Evaluating 17- and 18-Inch Tyres
    Clermont-Ferrand (France), October 31, 2014 Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin evaluating 17- and 18-inch tyres Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin share the same vision that motorsport permits innovative technologies to be fostered in a competitive environment with a view to achieving closer ties with the technologies that are available to the motoring public. Accordingly, the two partners are currently exploring the feasibility of switching to 18- and 17-inch tyres for the Formula Renault 3.5 Formula Renault 2.0 championships respectively from 2016. An initial test session based on Formula Renault 3.5 cars was carried out at Valencia, Spain, followed by a second featuring Formula Renault 2.0 cars at Barcelona, again in Spain. Given the positive results achieved at these tests, Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin are pleased to announce their intention to pursue this joint-development programme, and further sessions are planned over the months ahead. Since January, the collaboration between Renault Sport Technologies and Michelin has enabled the two companies to collect a significant amount of data after completing several hundred kilometres in testing. The two entities are carefully studying the results of this groundwork in order to obtain a thorough understanding of the repercussions any changes in tyre dimensions might have for the drivers, as well as in terms of grip and suspension performance. As far as factors such as top speed, road holding, tyre wear and the wear of other components are concerned, the early conclusions are positive. Despite requiring a certain number of small modifications, the cars feature a more modern look and benefit from enhanced cornering performance.
