Explanatory Note – Deregistration of Securities
On June 9, 1997, Century Aluminum Company (the “Registrant”) filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-28827) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering 25,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, current par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and an indeterminate amount of plan interests, to be offered or sold pursuant to the Century Aluminum of West Virginia, Inc./United Steelworkers of America Savings Plan (the “USW Plan”). The USW Plan no longer offers Common Stock as an investment option. The USW Plan otherwise continues in force. Accordingly, the Registrant hereby deregisters all shares of Common Stock and such indeterminate amount of plan interests, in each case, previously registered for offering or sale pursuant to the USW Plan that remain unissued.
