HAMILTON, Bermuda, September 25 /PRNewswire/ --     Teksid Aluminum Luxembourg S.à r.l., S.C.A. (the "Company") announced
that on September 25, 2007 it commenced a solicitation of consents from each
holder of its outstanding 11 3/8% Senior Notes due 2011 (the "Senior Notes")
pursuant to a consent solicitation statement dated September 25, 2007 (the
"Statement"), to implement proposed amendments to the indenture governing the
Senior Notes (the "Indenture"). The consent solicitation will expire at 10:00

extended or earlier terminated (the "Expiration Date"). Adoption of the
proposed amendments and execution of a supplemental indenture giving effect
to the proposed amendments (the "Supplemental Indenture") requires the
receipt of consents of at least a majority of the then aggregate outstanding
principal amount of Senior Notes (the "Requisite Consents") on or prior to
the Expiration Date.

Noteholders who consent at or prior to the execution of the Supplemental
Indenture may revoke their consents at any time prior to the execution of the
Supplemental Indenture, but not thereafter.

By delivering their consents, Noteholders are consenting to the Proposed
Amendments to the Indenture that will amend the Indenture to, among other
things: (i) allow the sale of Teksid Deutschland GmbH and TK Aluminum-France
S.A.S. and, indirectly, the latter's subsidiaries Teksid France S.A.S.,
Metaltemple S.A.S., Fonderie Aluminium Cleon S.A.S. and Fonderie du Poitou
Aluminium S.A.S. (the "French Subsidiaries") to Bavariaring 0906 GmbH; (ii)
allow settlement, write-off, or other extinguishment of certain intercompany
obligations, including the obligations owed by the Company to certain of the
French Subsidiaries and the obligations owed by certain of the French
Subsidiaries to certain of the Company's remaining subsidiaries; and (iii)
allow the Company to capitalize or convert to equity that certain
intercompany loan in the aggregate amount of approximately EUR135 million,
which amount includes accrued and unpaid interest, owed by TK Aluminum-France
S.A.S. to the Company.

Houlihan Lokey Howard & Zukin (Europe) Limited and Cadwalader, Wickersham
& Taft LLP, advisors to the ad hoc committee of Holders, have advised the
Company that they believe Holders will give the Requisite Consents in support
of the Proposed Amendments. As soon as the Requisite Consents are obtained,
the Company intends to execute the Supplemental Indenture.

There will not be any consent fee offered to holders of Senior Notes in
conjunction with the consent solicitation.

things, the following conditions: the valid receipt, prior to the Expiration
Date, of the Requisite Consents, the due execution of the Supplemental
Indenture, and certain other general conditions described in the Statement.

These conditions are for the Company's sole benefit and the Company may
waive them in whole or in part at any or at various times prior to the
