EMAIL DETAILS

Paul,
We can arrange a conference call next week. Oaktree prefers we interact directly with company management, with the CFO as the point person. Please provide some convenient options timing wise for the call and who will participate from our side.
Thanks.

With the help of our stakeholder Bank of China, we are in talks with China Zhongwang, and had a very successful 2nd meeting with them today. Zhongwang (http://www.zhongwang.com/en/index.php) is the largest Aluminum extrusion producer in Asia and is very committed to transition the company into a high-end Aluminum rolling producer in the future. Zhongwang is very familiar with Aleris, and shows great interest in acquiring Aleris for the strong strategic fit.

Zhongwang specifically pointed out that, at this stage they prefer its name not to be disclosed to Oaktree, and prefer BHR to be in direct negotiation with Oaktree/Aleris.
