Item 2.01.  Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
Acquisition of Sebree smelter
On June 1, 2013, our wholly owned subsidiary, Century Aluminum Sebree LLC ("Century Sebree"), acquired the Sebree aluminum smelter ("Sebree") from a subsidiary of Rio Tinto Alcan, Inc ("RTA"). Sebree, located in Robards, Kentucky, has an annual hot metal production capacity of 205,000 metric tons of primary aluminum and employs approximately 500 men and women. The purchase price for the acquisition was approximately $61 million (subject to customary working capital adjustments), of which we have paid approximately $48 million as of July 31, 2013. The remaining portion of the purchase price will be paid following the final determination of the applicable working capital adjustment, which will be determined based on the amount of working capital transferred to Century Sebree at closing versus a target working capital amount of $71 million. As part of the transaction, RTA retained all historical environmental liabilities of the Sebree smelter and has agreed to fully fund the pension plan being assumed by Century.
This Form 8-K/A amends the Current Report on Form 8-K that we filed on June 6, 2013, to include the required financial statements of Sebree and pro forma financial information described in Item 9.01 below.
