Item 8.01. Other Events.          

On April 16, 2015, Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (the "Company") announced that its board of directors declared a quarterly cash dividend on its common stock of $0.40 per share. The dividend will be payable on May 15, 2015 to stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 27, 2015.

On April 16, 2015, the Company also announced that its board of directors has authorized an additional $100 million for share repurchases under the share repurchase program authorized by the board of directors in June 2008. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on April 15, 2015, a $100 million share repurchase would represent a repurchase of approximately 7.6% of the Company’s outstanding common stock.

A copy of the press release announcing the declaration of dividend and the authorization of additional funds for share repurchase is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The information contained in the press release shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to liability of that section. In addition, this information shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in the filing.
