Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On May 30, 2018, Century Aluminum Company (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its wholly-owned subsidiary, Century Aluminum Sebree LLC, has temporarily stopped production on one of its three potlines due to an electrical failure at the Sebree aluminum smelter. Century anticipates that less than 18,000 tonnes of production will be lost as a result. Century plans to file insurance claims with respect to these events and expects that any losses, less estimated deductibles of $7 million, will be covered under its insurance policies. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
The information in this Item 7.01, including exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
