MICHAEL JONES Secretary February 25, 1994 REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY __________ PROXY STATEMENT FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS TO BE HELD APRIL 20, 1994 __________ PROXY SOLICITATION AND VOTING This Proxy Statement is furnished to holders of shares of Common Stock, without par value (the "Common Stock"), and 7% PRIDES, Convertible Preferred Stock (the "PRIDES"), of Reynolds Metals Company (the "Company") in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of the Company for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on April 20, 1994 and at any adjournments thereof. Proxies may be solicited by mail, telephone, telegraph or other electronic means and personal interview. The Company has retained Morrow & Co., Inc., 909 Third Avenue, New York, New York 10022-4799, to aid in the solicitation of proxies. For this service, Morrow & Co., Inc. will receive a fee of $10,000, plus reimbursement of out-of-pocket expenses. Brokers, banks and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries will be requested to forward soliciting material to the beneficial owners of Common Stock and PRIDES. All costs of the solicitation will be borne by the Company. Holders of Common Stock and PRIDES of record at the close of business on February 22, 1994 are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, the Company had outstanding and entitled to vote at the Meeting 60,892,480 shares of Common Stock, each entitled to one vote, and 11,000,000 shares of PRIDES, each entitled to 4/5 of a vote. Holders of shares of Common Stock and PRIDES will vote together as one class. The presence, in person or by proxy, of Stockholders entitled to cast at least a majority of the votes which all Stockholders are entitled to cast will constitute a quorum. The affirmative vote of Stockholders representing a majority of the votes cast is required for the election of the Nominees (Item 1) and the approval of Item 2. Abstentions will be treated as votes against an item. "Non-votes" (in which a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on certain matters pursuant to discretionary authority or instructions from the beneficial owner but does not vote on other matters for which the nominee has not received instructions from the beneficial owner and may not exercise discretionary voting authority, the latter being termed "non-votes") will have no effect on the vote. Any Stockholder giving a proxy has the power to revoke it at any time before its use. If a proxy is properly signed and is not revoked by the Stockholder, the shares it represents will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with the instructions of the Stockholder, or where no instructions are given, such shares will be voted FOR Items 1, 2 and 3. It is anticipated that proxy materials will first be mailed to Stockholders on or about March 7, 1994. ITEM 1. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS Information Concerning the Nominees The Board of Directors currently consists of fifteen persons. Unless otherwise instructed on the proxy, the shares represented by proxies will be voted for the election of the fourteen Nominees named below as Directors of the Company for the ensuing year. If any Nominee becomes unavailable to serve as a Director for any reason, the shares represented by such proxies may be voted for a substitute Nominee designated by the Board of Directors. Thirteen of the Nominees were elected at the 1993 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Jeremiah J. Sheehan was elected by the Board of Directors effective January 21, 1994. Ralph S.

In May 1992, O&Y filed for protection under the Canadian Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act and under Chapter 11 of the United States federal bankruptcy code with respect to a portion of its operations. O&Y's operations in the United Kingdom were also placed in Administration under the insolvency laws of that country. Meetings and Committees of the Board The Board of Directors held nine meetings and acted once by unanimous written consent in 1993. The Board has appointed from its members six standing committees of the Board, which met periodically during 1993. Directors' attendance at meetings of the Board and of standing committees on which they served averaged over 90% during 1993. All incumbent Directors serving in 1993 attended at least 75% of such meetings. The Executive Committee is composed of W. O. Bourke (Chairman), Y. M. Brandt, R. G. Holder, R. N. Reynolds, H. S. Savedge, Jr. and J. J. Sheehan. It has the power to act in place of the Board of Directors during intervals between meetings of the Board and to review and approve the compensation of Directors of the Company. This committee met once and acted four times by unanimous written consent in 1993. The Finance Committee is composed of H. S. Savedge, Jr. (Chairman), W. O. Bourke, Y. M. Brandt, G. Greenwald, J. R. Hall, R. L. Hintz, R. G. Holder, D. P. Reynolds, R. N. Reynolds, J. J. Sheehan and R. J. Vlasic. Its principal function is to review regularly the financial condition of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries so as to counsel the Board of Directors on the total financial resources available. It makes recommendations respecting long-term and short-term financing, acquisitions, investments, major capital expenditures and dividends. It reviews the Company's cash flow, financial plans and insurance programs. This committee met seven times in 1993. The Audit Committee is composed of R. L. Hintz (Chairman), G. Greenwald, J. R. Hall, C. A. Sanders, and J. B. Wyatt. The principal functions of the Audit Committee are to oversee the performance and review and approve the scope of the audit function of the Company's independent auditors and its Internal Auditing Division. In this connection, the Audit Committee recommends to the Board of Directors the firm to be engaged by the Company as its independent auditors. It reviews, among other things, audit plans and procedures, the Company's policies with respect to conflicts of interest and the prohibition of the use of corporate funds or other assets for improper purposes, changes in accounting policies and the use of independent auditors for nonaudit services. This committee met three times in 1993. The Compensation Committee is composed of J. R. Hall (Chairman), T. A. Graves, Jr., R. L. Hintz, C. A. Sanders and R. J. Vlasic. The principal functions of the Compensation Committee are to review recommendations submitted to it by management with respect to compensation of Executive Officers of the Company, to make such recommendations to the Board of Directors as its review dictates and to administer the 1982, 1987 and 1992 Nonqualified Stock Option Plans and the Performance Incentive Plan. See "Report of Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation". This committee met four times in 1993. The Nominating Committee is composed of T. A. Graves, Jr. (Chairman), W. O. Bourke, R. G. Holder, D. P. Reynolds, C. A. Sanders, R. S. Thomas and J. B. Wyatt. The primary function of the Nominating Committee is to recommend to the Board of Directors persons to be considered for election to the Board. In making such recommendations, the Nominating Committee will consider nominations submitted by Stockholders. The Board of Directors has adopted a policy under which it will not elect or nominate for election or reelection to the Board of Directors any person who has attained age 70. The Board of Directors has waived the policy with respect to D. P. Reynolds until he has attained age 79. An Officer of the Company serving as a member of the Board of Directors is expected to resign as a Director at the time he ceases to be an Officer, whether due to retirement or otherwise. The Board of Directors has waived this requirement with respect to W. O. Bourke, who retired in 1992. The Nominating Committee will consider Stockholder nominations for the 1995 Annual Meeting if submitted in writing in accordance with the procedures set forth under "General Information - Stockholders' Proposals and Nominations". This committee met twice and acted once by unanimous written consent in 1993. The Pension Investment Committee is composed of R. S. Thomas (Chairman), Y. M. Brandt, H. S. Savedge, Jr., J. J. Sheehan and J. B. Wyatt. It handles the financial administration of funds of the pension plans of the Company and subsidiaries. In this function, it establishes funding policies, appoints investment managers, actuaries and independent auditors for each pension fund and reviews periodically with the Board of Directors the activities and investment results achieved. This committee met three times and acted once by unanimous written consent in 1993. Board Compensation and Benefits Directors who are not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are paid an annual retainer of $24,000 for serving as a Director, $3,000 for each committee of the Board on which they serve, and $2,000 for serving as committee chairman, except the chairmen of each of the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee are paid $4,000. Directors who are not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries are paid $1,000 for each Board and committee meeting attended, plus expenses reasonably incurred in connection with attending such meetings. The Company has a deferred compensation plan under which a Director may elect for each year to defer receipt of all or part of his retainer and meeting fees. The deferred amounts will be paid in cash after (a) a specified year, (b) the Director ceases to be a member of the Board of Directors or (c) the Director reaches age 70, as the Director elects (except that clause (b) applies in all cases where the deferred amounts are credited with additional compensation in the form of share equivalents as described in clause (ii) in the next sentence). Amounts deferred in 1988 and subsequent years are credited with additional compensation in the form (as elected by the Director) of (i) interest at an annual rate set by the plan committee, whose members are not eligible to participate in the plan, or (ii) effective December 1, 1993, a number of equivalent shares of Common Stock, together with dividend equivalents based on the dividends paid on such shares of Common Stock. Participants have the option to receive payment in a lump sum or in annual installments over a two- to ten-year period. The Company also has a retirement plan for Directors who are not active or retired employees of the Company or a subsidiary. The annual retirement payment is equal to the annual retainer being paid for serving as a member of the Board at the time the Director retires as a Director. Payments will begin when the Director attains age 65 or, if later, when he retires as a Director. Payments will be made quarterly and will continue for the same number of calendar quarters as the person served as a nonemployee Director. All payments will cease upon the former Director's death. In addition, the Company has a death benefit plan for Directors who are not active or retired employees of the Company or a subsidiary. Any such Director who serves until attaining age 65 will continue to be covered after retirement. The amount of the death benefit is $50,000. The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors has authorized adoption of a Restricted Stock Plan for Outside Directors, subject to Stockholder approval. See Item 2 below. If the plan is approved by Stockholders, the annual retainer for non-employee Directors' service on committees of the Board described above will be eliminated effective April 1, 1994. Other Compensation The Company has a consulting agreement with W. O. Bourke, a Director of the Company and former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which has been extended through April 30, 1997, providing for (i) payment of an annual fee of $100,000, (ii) reimbursement of reasonable travel and other related business expenses and (iii) making available to Mr. Bourke office space, secretarial services and a car. For 1993, Mr. Bourke received $111,559 in consulting fees and personal benefits. The Company has a consulting agreement with D. P. Reynolds, a Director of the Company and former Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, which has been extended through April 30, 1995. The agreement provides for (i) payment of an annual fee of $200,000 (subject to increase for a particular year, if so determined in the discretion of the Compensation Committee after the close of such year, depending on the performance achieved during such year), (ii) reimbursement of reasonable travel and other related business expenses and certain club membership fees and (iii) making available to Mr. Reynolds office space, secretarial services and a car. For 1993, Mr. Reynolds received $234,314 in consulting fees and personal benefits. ITEM 2. APPROVAL OF RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS The Executive Committee of the Board of Directors has authorized adoption of the Reynolds Metals Company Restricted Stock Plan for Outside Directors (the "Directors Plan"), subject to Stockholder approval. If approved by Stockholders, the Directors Plan will be effective April 20, 1994. Grants of restricted stock under the Directors Plan will replace the annual retainer of $3,000 per committee currently paid to non-employee Directors for service on committees of the Board. See "Item 1. Election of Directors - Board Compensation and Benefits". The purposes of the Directors Plan are to promote a greater identity of interests between the Company's outside Directors and its Stockholders through ownership of Common Stock, and to attract and retain outside Directors by affording them an opportunity to share in the future successes of the Company. Management believes that the grant of shares of restricted stock to non-employee Directors is an appropriate complement to the Company's payment of fees to such Directors. The following summary of the principal features of the Directors Plan is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Directors Plan. Any Stockholder desiring a copy of the Directors Plan in the form approved by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors may obtain it by writing to Reynolds Metals Company, 6601 West Broad Street, P. O. Box 27003, Richmond, Virginia 23261-7003, Attention: Secretary. The Directors Plan The Directors Plan provides for the grant to Directors who are not employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries ("Outside Directors") shares of Common Stock subject to forfeiture and transfer restrictions ("restricted stock"), which restrictions lapse following the completion of specified periods of service as a Director of the Company, as described below. Nine of the Nominees are Outside Directors. Each Outside Director elected to office by the Stockholders of the Company on April 20, 1994 and who continues to serve as an Outside Director on June 1, 1994 will be granted 1,000 shares of restricted stock on June 1, 1994, assuming that the Directors Plan is approved by Stockholders. In addition, each person who becomes an Outside Director after April 20, 1994 will receive a grant of 1,000 shares of restricted stock 60 days after the date such person is initially elected to the Board. Restrictions will expire as to 200 shares of restricted stock on the April 1 immediately following the date of grant (or, if later, on the date that is the six-month anniversary of the date of grant), and restrictions will expire as to an additional 200 shares on each successive April 1, so that by the fifth April 1 following the date of grant, restrictions on all 1,000 shares will have expired, assuming continued service by the Outside Director throughout such period. An additional grant of 1,000 shares of restricted stock will be made to each Outside Director on June 1 of the year in which the restrictions have expired as to all the shares covered by such Outside Director's previous grant under the Directors Plan (assuming such Outside Director continues to serve as an Outside Director on such June 1). One or more stock certificates representing shares of restricted stock granted under the Directors Plan will be registered in the Outside Director's name, but will be held by or on behalf of the Company until the restrictions on such shares expire. The Outside Director will be entitled to vote and receive dividends on such restricted stock but will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificates. No shares of restricted stock may be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of by the Outside Director until such time as the restrictions have expired as to such shares. Certificates for the shares of Common Stock representing each 200-share portion of a grant will be distributed to the Outside Director free of all restrictions as soon as practicable after the expiration of the restrictions applicable to such portion. If an Outside Director ceases to be a member of the Board because he dies or becomes disabled or because of a Change in Control (as defined in the Directors Plan) of the Company, restrictions on 200 shares will lapse immediately, with all other shares as to which restrictions have not expired being forfeited. If an Outside Director ceases to be a member of the Board for any reason other than a reason specified above, all shares as to which restrictions have not expired will be forfeited. Shares of restricted stock under the Directors Plan are subject to adjustment for stock dividends, stock splits, mergers, consolidations or other recapitalizations or reorganizations of the Company. Shares of restricted stock may be authorized but unissued shares, shares reacquired by the Company or a combination of both. Shares of Common Stock covered by any grant of restricted stock which are forfeited under the Directors Plan will become available for the grant of additional shares of restricted stock under the Directors Plan. The Board of Directors may amend, suspend or terminate the Directors Plan; however, the provisions of the Directors Plan with respect to the individuals eligible to participate and the amount, price and timing of grants thereunder may not be amended more than once every six months other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board of Directors may, in any circumstance where it deems such approval necessary or desirable, require Stockholder approval as a condition to the effectiveness of any amendment or modification of the Directors Plan. The following table sets forth the number of shares of restricted stock that will be allocated on June 1, 1994 to the named groups, assuming that the Directors Plan and the election of the Nominees in Item 1 are approved by Stockholders and assuming each Outside Director continues to serve as an Outside Director on such date. NEW PLAN BENEFITS RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS Name and Position Number of Shares R. G. Holder, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer 0 Y. M. Brandt, Vice Chairman of the Board 0 R. N. Reynolds, Vice Chairman of the Board; President and Chief Executive Officer, Reynolds International, Inc. 0 J. J. Sheehan, President and Chief Operating Officer 0 H. S. Savedge, Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer 0 Executive Officer Group (21 persons) 0 Non-Executive Officer Director Group (9 persons) 9,000 Non-Executive Officer Employee Group 0 Federal Income Tax Consequences Under existing federal income tax law and regulations, no tax will be imposed on an Outside Director, and no deduction will be available to the Company, upon the grant of shares of restricted stock, except as noted below. When the shares of restricted stock vest, the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount required to be reported by the Outside Director as income at the time such amount is included in the Outside Director's income. Outside Directors will, when the shares of restricted stock vest, recognize ordinary income for federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the fair market value of such restricted stock on the date the shares vest. The tax basis of the shares acquired by an Outside Director as restricted stock will be equal to their fair market value on the date income with respect to the shares is recognized. Dividends paid on the shares before they vest will be taxed as additional compensation to the Outside Director. An Outside Director may, however, elect to recognize income as of the date of grant of the restricted stock in an amount equal to the fair market value of the restricted stock on the date of grant. An Outside Director who makes this election will not recognize a loss for tax purposes in the event of a subsequent forfeiture of the shares. Various state laws may provide tax consequences that vary significantly from those described above. On February 24, 1994, the last reported sale price of the Company's Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange Composite Transactions Tape was $49 3/4 per share. The Board of Directors recommends that Stockholders vote FOR the approval of the Directors Plan. Shares represented by proxies will be voted for approval unless instructions to the contrary are given on the proxy. ITEM 3. RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS The Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of its Audit Committee, has selected Ernst & Young as independent auditors to examine and report upon the financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the year 1994 and is submitting this matter to Stockholders for their ratification. Ernst & Young served as the Company's independent auditors in 1993 and in prior years. If Stockholders do not ratify the selection of Ernst & Young, other independent auditors will be considered. One or more partners of the firm of Ernst & Young will be present at the Annual Meeting to make a statement if they desire to do so and to respond to appropriate questions that may be asked by Stockholders. The Board of Directors of the Company recommends that Stockholders vote FOR the ratification of the selection of Ernst & Young as independent auditors to examine and report upon the financial statements of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for the year 1994. Shares represented by proxies will be voted for approval unless instructions to the contrary are given on the proxy. ITEM 4. OTHER PROPOSED ACTION The Board of Directors is not aware that any matters other than those stated in this Proxy Statement will come before the Annual Meeting. Should any matters requiring the vote of Stockholders arise, it is intended that shares represented by proxies will be voted in accordance with the discretion of the person or persons holding the proxy. BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP OF SECURITIES Principal Holders Stockholders who were known to the Company to own beneficially more than five percent of any class of voting securities of the Company at February 22, 1994 are set forth in the following table.

The Company's executive compensation program is designed to help the Company achieve its vision of being the premier supplier and recycler of aluminum and other products in the global markets it serves by (i) building and retaining a management team with exceptional abilities and (ii) focusing management's attention, energy and skill on achieving short-term business goals, securing profitable growth and maximizing long-term shareholder interests. The principal components of the program are base salary and variable compensation including annual cash incentives and stock option awards. As discussed under "Salaries" and "Annual Cash Incentives", the program combines relatively lower base salaries with relatively higher incentive awards for superior performance, but with a penalty for falling short of targeted performance. The higher the executive grade level, the greater the proportion of compensation contingent on the accomplishment of business objectives. The Committee meets regularly with management and periodically with an independent compensation consultant to review the Company's executive compensation program. In its review, the Committee compares the total compensation of the Company's Executive Officers to that of a comparison group of companies. The comparison group currently consists of 30 comparably sized, capital intensive companies about which the Company's independent consultant has comprehensive compensation data. The group includes three of the companies in the aluminum and metals industry peer group against which the Company's shareholder return is measured in the Performance Graphs on page 13. Differences in size among the comparison group are adjusted by regression analysis based on sales levels. The Committee believes the comparison group, which is a more varied selection of companies than the industry peer group, is a representative sample of types of companies which are the Company's most direct competitors for executive talent. The Company targets individual components of executive compensation against the comparison group but has no specific target for total compensation. The Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 placed limits on deductibility by the Company for federal income tax purposes of compensation paid to certain Executive Officers. The Committee, with the assistance of the Company's legal and tax personnel, has reviewed the impact of these limits on the Company. Based on currently available information, it appears unlikely that any compensation paid to Executive Officers for 1994 will be nondeductible. The Committee will continue to monitor this area and to assess various alternatives to minimize or eliminate any loss of tax deductions in future years, provided the alternatives are consistent with the objectives of the Company's executive compensation program. Salaries. The Company pays salaries to Executive Officers which are targeted to be, and in 1993 were, somewhat below the size-adjusted median for the comparison group. The Committee reviews management's recommendations regarding the salaries of all Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) and makes recommendations to the Board of Directors as it deems appropriate. The Committee makes its own assessment of the Chief Executive Officer's salary. In its review, the Committee considers the Executive Officer's job responsibilities and performance, the business outlook for the Company and pay practices of the comparison group, including salary data provided by the Company's independent compensation consultant. As the Committee reported last year, no salary increases for Executive Officers were given in 1993, except in the case of promotions involving increased responsibilities (with the salary increase in some cases lagging the effective date of the promotion). This salary freeze was implemented for the year 1993 as a cost-saving measure in response to difficult industry conditions which have adversely affected the Company's performance. As a result of the salary freeze, none of the Executive Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, except Mr. Savedge, received an increase in base salary rate in 1993, although 1993 data include twelve full months for increases given during 1992. Mr. Savedge received a promotional increase in 1993 from $230,000 to $265,000. Annual Cash Incentives. The Company has a Performance Incentive Plan under which it pays Executive Officers and other key employees annual cash incentives which vary in amount from year to year, or are not paid at all, based on performance. The Plan does not specify particular performance measures that must be taken into account, leaving the determination of such measures to the Committee's discretion on an annual basis. Corporate and business unit performance measures typically take into account profitability, cash-flow and other short-term financial and operating goals established at the beginning of the year. For 1993, such goals included achieving the Company's 1993 profit plan; improving customer satisfaction; reducing cycle time on significant products and processes; increasing inventory turns; and accomplishing an annualized $250 million performance improvement rate by the end of the year (the "1993 Goals"). Individual performance measures take into account the person's accomplishment of individual goals and contribution to overall corporate performance for the year. Threshold, target and maximum award levels are established by the Committee to reward performance based on corporate, business unit and individual goals. None of the goals has a specific weight, although overall levels of corporate profitability are generally a threshold factor in determining incentive awards. After the close of each year, management recommends cash awards for Executive Officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) for that year based on its assessment of corporate, business unit and individual performance for the year. The Committee makes its own assessment of corporate and individual performance in determining any cash award to be paid to the Chief Executive Officer. The Committee grants cash awards it deems appropriate after considering management's recommendations and the total annual cash compensation levels necessary to be competitive with levels paid by the comparison group. When performance is superior, annual cash incentives are targeted to be such that total annual cash compensation paid (i.e., salary and incentive for the year) will be in the top quartile of the comparison group. For 1993 management recommended that the Committee not grant incentive awards under the Plan. The principal factor taken into account was the operating loss reported by the Company for the year. Although the Committee took particular note of substantial progress toward a number of the other 1993 Goals, in particular achievement of the Company's $250 million profit improvement program, the Committee accepted the recommendation. Accordingly, no incentive awards were granted for 1993. Stock Options. The Company maintains a 1992 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, under which the Committee grants annually to Executive Officers and other key employees options to purchase Common Stock of the Company. The options provide a long-term incentive to build the Company's businesses and align management's objectives with shareholders' interests by rewarding management only when shareholder value is created. All options granted under the 1992 Plan are exercisable no earlier than one year or later than ten years from the date of grant at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. The ten-year Performance Graph on page 13, which compares the Company's shareholder return over the last ten years with that of the S&P 500 Stock Index and an aluminum and metals industry peer group, corresponds to the term of the stock options. The size of the option award granted to each Executive Officer is based on a stock option grant schedule, approved by the Committee, which allocates the total number of shares authorized for stock options under the 1992 Plan to eligible employees based on job responsibilities, assuming that all option shares will be granted over five years. The total number of shares authorized for stock options under the 1992 Plan (3,250,000 shares, as approved by Stockholders at the 1991 Annual Meeting) was established based on estimated requirements for competitive long-term compensation opportunities for designated key employees over a five-year period. The option grant schedule was prepared on the same basis, taking into account individual job responsibilities. The schedule is used as a guide for what a typical award might be for each eligible employee, including each Executive Officer, while actual awards may vary based on the experience, achievements and anticipated future contributions to the Company of each individual. The schedule was adjusted in 1993 by adding a discretionary pool of shares equal to approximately 16.5% of the shares that otherwise would have been granted. The additional discretionary pool was intended to (i) provide a strong incentive for employees to work for the long-term growth and financial success of the Company and to reinforce a long-term focus in decision making, consistent with the Companywide performance improvement program, and (ii) permit recognition of the performance of deserving employees and additional responsibilities undertaken in connection with organizational changes resulting from an early retirement window for salaried employees. No other corporate performance factors were taken into account. As a result of the addition of the discretionary pool, the option grants in 1993 to each of the Executive Officers (other than Mr. Holder) named in the Summary Compensation Table were above the previously scheduled amount for their respective salary grade levels. Even with the additional discretionary pool, stock option awards were generally at or below the size-adjusted median for long-term compensation in the comparison group of companies. For this purpose, the option awards are measured against long-term compensation of the comparison group, using values based on option pricing models provided by the Company's compensation consultant. The number of options and shares currently held by an optionee is not a factor in determining individual grants. Chief Executive Officer Compensation. Compensation for the Company's Chief Executive Officer is established in accordance with the executive compensation philosophy and policies described above. Mr. Holder's salary level is generally the result of: (i) the salary grade level assigned to his position, which takes into account knowledge and level of responsibility; (ii) time in his current position and individual performance; (iii) salary data provided by the Company's independent compensation consultant; and (iv) salary budget guidelines for the year which take into account the business outlook for the Company. By design, Mr. Holder's salary is positioned to be slightly below the size-adjusted median for the comparison group, consistent with the Company's executive compensation philosophy. At Mr. Holder's request, Mr. Holder's base salary for 1993 remained at the same level as in 1992, consistent with the freeze on all Executive Officer salaries implemented as a cost-saving measure. Due to the salary freeze, Mr. Holder's salary is now more than 20% below the size-adjusted median for the comparator group. The Company paid no cash incentives under the Performance Incentive Plan for 1993 even though the Company made substantial progress toward a number of the 1993 Goals, in particular achievement of the Company's $250 million profit improvement program; accordingly, Mr. Holder received none. The Committee approved a 1993 stock option grant to Mr. Holder of 80,000 shares, which was above the scheduled amount for his salary grade level. In taking this action, the Committee noted that this was the first stock option grant to Mr. Holder as Chief Executive Officer and that a higher grant was appropriate (i) to weight his 1993 compensation package toward long-term objectives, and (ii) to recognize his efforts in restructuring activities and achieving substantial progress toward performance improvement targets. These efforts and achievements included reducing employment levels, containing health care costs, improving manufacturing processes, restructuring and reorganizing operations and divesting non-core assets. COMPENSATION COMMITTEE John R. Hall, Chairman Thomas A. Graves, Jr. Robert L. Hintz Charles A. Sanders Robert J. Vlasic February 25, 1994 Richmond, Virginia PERFORMANCE GRAPHS Following are two line graphs comparing the cumulative total shareholder return on the Company's Common Stock with the cumulative total returns of the S&P 500 Stock Index and a peer group which consists of companies included by S&P in its published indices for the Aluminum Industry (Alcoa, Alcan and the Company) and the Metals Industry (Asarco, Amax*, Cypress Minerals, Inco and Phelps-Dodge). The returns of each component company in the peer group were weighted according to the respective company's stock market capitalization as of the beginning of each measurement period. The first graph compares the returns over a five-year period; the second compares the returns over a ten-year period, which corresponds to the term of the stock options granted to Executive Officers during 1993. See "Executive Compensation - Stock Option Grants in 1993". The graphs assume that the value of the investment in the Company's Common Stock and each index was $100 on December 31, 1988 and December 31, 1983, respectively, and that all dividends were reinvested. Since December 31, 1988, the cumulative total shareholder return on the Company's Common Stock was -2%; since December 31, 1983, the return was 196%.

The grant-date present value is a theoretical value which is not necessarily indicative of the ultimate value of the options to the Executive Officers. Ultimately, value is dependent on the amount, if any, by which the market price of the Common Stock at any point in time exceeds the exercise price. (See footnote (4) to the table.)

Savedge, Jr. 20,000 3.0 45.50 5/20/03 323,400 ____________________ <FN> (1) All options were granted under the Company's 1992 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan (the "1992 Plan"), approved by Stockholders at the 1991 Annual Meeting. Each option entitles the optionee to purchase one share of Common Stock from the Company, and is exercisable no earlier than one year or later than ten years from the date of grant at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the underlying Common Stock on the date of grant. The options granted in 1993 will become exercisable on May 20, 1994. None of the options has stock appreciation rights attached. If there is a Change in Control (as defined in the 1992 Plan) of the Company, the 1992 Plan provides that all options already granted thereunder will become immediately exercisable thirty days after the Change in Control occurs, unless the Compensation Committee determines that the Change in Control presents no material risk of loss of options to any optionee and directs that no such acceleration of exercisability should occur. To the extent necessary to preserve the exemption from short-swing profit liability under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the date as of which options first become exercisable by optionees who are Executive Officers or Directors may not be accelerated to occur earlier than six months from the date of the respective grant. (2) A total of 440 persons were granted options in 1993 under the 1992 Plan, covering an aggregate of 673,100 shares of Common Stock, which constituted approximately 25% of the shares available for options under the 1992 Plan. (3) The exercise price may be paid by the optionee in cash, in shares of Common Stock valued at fair market value on the date of exercise, or pursuant to an exercise procedure under which a brokerage firm makes a loan to the optionee for the payment of the option exercise price and all applicable withholding taxes. The optionee may repay the loan by selling the purchased shares immediately through the brokerage firm, or the loan may remain outstanding until the shares are later sold or the loan is otherwise repaid by the optionee. (4) THE VALUES SHOWN ARE PURELY THEORETICAL. The options had no immediate value on the date of grant and will have no value until one year after the grant and then only to the extent that the market price of the Common Stock exceeds the exercise price. The values shown are based on the Black-Scholes option pricing model, a complex mathematical formula used to value publicly-traded options. The following assumptions were used to calculate the values under the Black-Scholes formula: (i) an expected volatility rate of .26 with respect to the Common Stock based on the average weekly price change of the Common Stock for the six months before the date of grant; (ii) a risk-free rate of return of 6.0% based on the 10-year Treasury bond yield on the date of grant; (iii) a dividend yield of 2.2% based on the current annual dividend of $1.00 per share; and (iv) an option term of ten years, an option exercise price of $45.50 per share and an exercise date of May 20, 2003. The Black-Scholes formula does not take into account, and the values shown in the table were not adjusted for, two important aspects of options awarded under the 1992 Plan. First, the formula assumes that a liquid market exists for the options; however, options awarded under the 1992 Plan may not be transferred. Second, it assumes that the options may be exercised immediately; however, options awarded under the 1992 Plan may not be exercised earlier than one year from the date of grant. The values assigned to the reported options are provided solely to comply with SEC rules. No prediction is made as to possible future appreciation, if any, of the Company's stock price. See page 7 for a recent price of the Common Stock. /TABLE Aggregated Option Exercises in 1993 and Option Values at December 31, 1993 The table below sets forth information with respect to options exercised by each of the five named Executive Officers during 1993 and the number and value of unexercised options held at the end of 1993: Number of Securities Value of Underlying Unexercised Unexercised In-the-Money Options at Options at Number of December 31, 1993 December 31, 1993 Shares Acquired Value Exercisable/ Exercisable/ Name on Exercise Realized(1) Unexercisable Unexercisable(2) R.

G. Holder $917,000 35 Y. M. Brandt 607,000 36 R. N. Reynolds 511,000 25 J. J. Sheehan(1) 394,000 6 H. S. Savedge, Jr. 304,000 34 _______________ [FN] (1) The Company has agreed to pay J. J. Sheehan (a) certain early retirement benefits equivalent to those he would have received from a prior employer, if his employment with the Company is involuntarily terminated before age 65, and (b) upon his death, surviving spouse benefits equal to one-half of any amounts payable under clause (a). The New Retirement Program provides participants an annual benefit upon retirement determined pursuant to a formula which takes into account final average earnings, years of benefit service (as defined in the New Retirement Program), and Social Security benefits. For purposes of the New Retirement Program, a participant's final average earnings include base salary in effect, plus profit sharing and bonus awards, in the five consecutive calendar years for which the average is highest during the fifteen calendar years preceding retirement. (See the Summary Compensation Table for salary and bonus information for the five named Executive Officers for the years 1991-1993.) Benefits calculated pursuant to the formula are reduced by an amount based upon both (a) the primary Social Security benefit estimated to be payable upon retirement or, if later, at age 65 and (b) years of benefit service. Regulations issued in 1991 to implement the Tax Reform Act of 1986 and subsequent legislation may require the Company to make changes in the benefit formula from time to time. Benefits payable under the New Retirement Program are directly offset by benefits payable to participants from the Company's Retirement Program for Salaried Employees, which was terminated effective August 22, 1983. The Internal Revenue Code and the Tax Reform Act of 1986 prescribe limits on compensation that may be taken into account to calculate benefits and the actual benefits payable under tax-qualified defined benefit plans. The Company has nonqualified benefit restoration plans providing for the payment from general funds of amounts otherwise payable under the New Retirement Program but for these limitations. Severance Agreements The Company has entered into severance agreements with key executives designated by the Compensation Committee, including the five Executive Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table. Each agreement provides that termination compensation will be paid if the executive's employment is terminated without Cause (as defined in the agreement) by the Company or terminated by the executive in certain circumstances, in either case within two years after a Change in Control (as defined in the agreement). Termination compensation includes (a) a cash payment equal to three times the sum of (i) annual base salary at the time of termination plus (ii) the highest cash incentive award paid to the executive for any previous year, (b) a cash settlement of stock options granted under the Company's stock option plans but not yet exercisable at the date of termination, and (c) a cash payment to give retirement benefits equal to those payable had the executive (i) been vested (if not already vested at the time of termination) and (ii) worked for the Company three additional years. In addition, each agreement provides for continuation of medical, life and disability benefits for three years, ownership of the car assigned to the executive at the time of termination and making the executive whole for any applicable excise taxes as a result of payment of the termination compensation. The Company has a Management Incentive Deferral Plan under which Officers, including the five Executive Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, and other key employees who are recommended by the Chief Executive Officer may defer receipt of up to 50% of the incentive compensation, if any, otherwise payable under the Company's Performance Incentive Plan for services performed each year. Deferred compensation is credited with interest computed at a rate determined by the Compensation Committee for that year's deferrals. Except in the case of retirement, deferrals must be for a period of at least five years. Payments will be made in a lump sum or in 5, 10, 15 or 20 annual installments, as elected by the participant. The Plan also allows the Compensation Committee to accelerate payments to all participants if it determines that a major challenge to the control of the Company exists or if other extraordinary circumstances make such acceleration in the best interest of the Company as determined by the Committee. In addition, as described in footnote (1) to the table in the section entitled "Stock Option Grants in 1993", the 1992 Plan provides that under certain circumstances the exercisability of stock options granted to optionees, including the five Executive Officers named in the Summary Compensation Table, may be accelerated in the event of a Change in Control of the Company.

[TEXT] APPENDIX REYNOLDS METALS COMPANY RESTRICTED STOCK PLAN FOR OUTSIDE DIRECTORS Effective April 20, 1994 [TEXT] ARTICLE I PURPOSE OF THE PLAN The purposes of the Plan are to promote a greater identity of interests between the Company's Directors and its stockholders through increasing ownership of Company Stock by the Directors and to assist the Company in attracting and retaining qualified individuals to serve as Directors by affording them an opportunity to share in the future successes of the Company. ARTICLE II DEFINITIONS 2.01 "Beneficiary" shall mean the individual or entity designated by the Director to receive, upon the death of the Director, undelivered shares of Restricted Stock as to which the applicable restrictions have expired. If no such designation is made, or if the designated individual predeceases the Director or the entity no longer exists, then the Beneficiary shall be the Director's estate. 2.02 "Board" shall mean the Board of Directors of the Company. 2.03 "Company" shall mean Reynolds Metals Company, a Delaware corporation. 2.04 "Company Stock" shall mean the Common Stock of the Company, without par value, and such other stock and securities as may be substituted therefor in accordance with Section 5.02. 2.05 "Director" shall mean a member of the Board who is not an employee of the Company or of one of its subsidiaries. 2.06 "Effective Date" shall mean April 20, 1994. 2.07 "Plan" shall mean this Reynolds Metals Company Restricted Stock Plan for Outside Directors, as amended from time to time. 2.08 "Restricted Stock" shall mean Company Stock granted to a Director in accordance with Article III and subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.03. ARTICLE III GRANTS OF RESTRICTED STOCK 3.01 On June 1, 1994, each Director elected to office by the stockholders of the Company on April 20, 1994, shall receive a grant of 1,000 shares of Restricted Stock. Except as otherwise provided in Section 3.02, each individual who becomes a Director after April 20, 1994, shall receive a grant of 1,000 shares of Restricted Stock 60 days after the date the individual is first elected to the Board, whether by the Board or by stockholders. 3.02 If an employee of the Company or of one of its subsidiaries retires from employment with the Company or its subsidiary, as applicable, and if such former employee is elected to serve as a Director following retirement, then such former employee shall become eligible to participate in the Plan and shall receive a grant of 1,000 shares of Restricted Stock 60 days after the date on which he or she is first elected or reelected to the Board following his or her retirement. 3.03 So long as he or she remains a Director, an additional grant of 1,000 shares of Restricted Stock shall be made to each Director on June 1 (or on the next business day, if June 1 is not a business day) of the year in which the restrictions expire as to all the shares covered by such Director's previous grant under the Plan. ARTICLE IV TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF GRANTS 4.01 The terms and conditions set forth in this Article IV shall apply to each grant of shares of Restricted Stock. If required by the Company, each such grant shall be evidenced by a written agreement that sets forth the specific terms of the grant in accordance with the Plan and that is duly executed by or on behalf of the Company and the Director. 4.02 At the time of each grant, a share certificate or certificates representing the number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to a Director shall be registered in the Director's name but shall be held by or on behalf of the Company for the Director's account. The Director shall execute and deliver to the Company a stock power duly endorsed in blank relating to such shares of Restricted Stock. The Director shall have all the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such shares of Restricted Stock, including the right to receive dividends and the right to vote such shares, subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.03. 4.03 The shares of Restricted Stock granted to any Director under Article III shall be subject to the following restrictions: (a) Such shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered or disposed of until such time as such restrictions have expired as to such shares as provided in Section 4.04. (b) A Director shall not be entitled to delivery of a share certificate representing any shares of Restricted Stock until the expiration of such restrictions as to such shares. 4.04 (a) Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.04(b), the restrictions applicable to shares of Restricted Stock covered by any grant to any Director shall expire in accordance with the terms of this Section 4.04(a). Restrictions shall expire as to 200 shares of Restricted Stock on the later of (i) the April 1 immediately following the date of grant or (ii) the date that is the six-month anniversary of the date of grant, and restrictions shall expire as to an additional 200 shares on each successive April 1, so that by the fifth April 1 following the date of grant, restrictions on all 1,000 shares shall have expired; provided, however, that restrictions shall expire as to shares of Restricted Stock only if the Director shall have remained a member of the Board continuously from the date of grant of such shares to the scheduled expiration date. (b) If a Director ceases to be a member of the Board because of death, Disability, or a Change in Control of the Company, the restrictions on 200 shares of Restricted Stock shall expire as of the later of (i) the date the Director ceases to be a member of the Board or (ii) the date that is the six-month anniversary of the date of grant. Such 200 shares shall be in addition to any shares as to which the restrictions have expired in accordance with the second sentence of Section 4.04(a). For purposes of this Section 4.04(b), the term "Disability" shall have the same meaning as a "total disability" as determined under the rules and procedures that apply under the Company's Long Term Disability Plan for Salaried Employees, and the term "Change in Control" shall mean the occurrence of any of the following dates or events: (i) a Stock Acquisition Date; (ii) a Distribution Date; or (iii) Continuing Directors ceasing to be a majority of the Board, with the terms "Stock Acquisition Date," "Distribution Date" and "Continuing Directors" having the meanings given to them in the Rights Agreement dated November 23, 1987 between the Company and The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., as initially executed. 4.05 All of the shares of Restricted Stock granted to any Director as to which the restrictions have not previously expired shall be forfeited immediately, and all rights of such Director to such shares shall terminate without further obligation on the part of the Company, if the Director shall cease to be a member of the Board for any reason other than as set forth in Section 4.04(b). 4.06 As soon as practicable after the expiration of the restrictions on any shares of Restricted Stock as herein provided, a share certificate for such shares shall be delivered, free of all such restrictions, to the Director (or to the Director's Beneficiary, if applicable) subject to the withholding requirements of Section 7.04 (if applicable). ARTICLE V COMPANY STOCK 5.01 Shares of Company Stock granted or delivered under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares, shares reacquired by the Company, or a combination of both, as the Board may from time to time determine. Shares of Company Stock granted under the Plan but subsequently forfeited shall continue to be otherwise available for the purposes of the Plan. 5.02 If any stock dividend is declared upon Company Stock, or if there is any stock split, stock distribution, or other recapitalization of the Company with respect to Company Stock, resulting in a split-up or combination or exchange of shares, the number and kind of shares which may thereafter be granted under the Plan shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted and the number and kind of shares then being held by the Company as Restricted Stock shall be proportionately and appropriately adjusted. Any new or additional shares of Restricted Stock, or stock or other securities substituted therefor, to which a Director may be entitled under this Section 5.02 shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of Article IV. ARTICLE VI AMENDMENT, SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN The Board may from time to time amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part; provided, however, that (a) without the Director's consent, no such amendment, suspension or termination shall materially adversely affect the rights of any Director in respect of Restricted Stock previously granted to such Director and (b) the provisions of the Plan with respect to individuals eligible to participate and the amount, price and timing of grants hereunder shall not be amended more than once every six months other than to comport with changes in the Internal Revenue Code, the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, or the rules thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Board may, in any circumstance where it deems such approval necessary or desirable, require stockholder approval as a condition to the effectiveness of any amendment or modification of the Plan. ARTICLE VII GENERAL PROVISIONS 7.01 Neither the establishment of the Plan nor the payment of any benefits hereunder nor any action of the Company, including the Board, in connection therewith shall be held or construed to confer upon any individual any legal right to remain on the Board. 7.02 No rights or benefits under the Plan shall be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance or charge, except by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and any attempt thereat shall be void. No such right or benefit shall, before receipt thereof, be in any manner liable for or subject to the recipient's debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements, or torts. 7.03 This Plan shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the Company and each Director, and upon the successors and assigns of the Company and of each Director. 7.04 The Company shall not be required to deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but shall pay, in lieu thereof, the fair market value (measured as of the date restrictions lapse) of such fractional share to the Director (or the Director's Beneficiary, if applicable). 7.05 Before the issuance or delivery of any shares of Restricted Stock on which the restrictions have expired, the Company shall require payment in cash by the Director of any withholding taxes that the Company may be required by law to pay with respect to the issuance or delivery of such shares. 7.06 Except as otherwise required by applicable federal laws, this Plan shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Executed and adopted this ____ day of April, 1994, pursuant to action taken by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors of Reynolds Metals Company at its meeting on ____________, 1994, by the Board of Directors of Reynolds Metals Company at its meeting on February 18, 1994, and by stockholders at the Annual Meeting on April 20, 1994.
