Deregistration of Securities

     On August 3, 1993, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (the “Company”) filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) with respect to a total of 2,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $.01 per share (the “Old Common Stock”), issuable pursuant to the Company’s 1993 Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan (the “1993 Plan”).

     On February 12, 2002, the Company filed a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code. Pursuant to 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 and as confirmed by an order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware entered on February 6, 2006, which confirmation order was affirmed by an order of the District Court for the District of Delaware entered on May 11, 2006 (the “Plan”), all outstanding grants under the 1993 Plan and all shares of the Old Common Stock will be cancelled upon the effectiveness of the Plan. The Plan is expected to become effective on July 6, 2006. Accordingly, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement is being filed to deregister, as of the date hereof, all shares of the Old Common Stock included in the Registration Statement that were not previously issued under the 1993 Plan.
