(1) Amount Previously Paid: (2) Form, Schedule or Registration Statement No.: (3) Filing Party: (4) Date Filed: _________, 1995 [Insert name and address] Dear __________: Thank you for your letter of ________. In response to the issue raised by your letter, I would note the Board of Directors of Reynolds Metals Company supports the ownership of stock by directors and, in fact, has established Stock Ownership Guidelines for Outside Directors as described on page 12 of our Proxy Statement. Mr. Joyce did not join our Board until February 15, 1995 and Ms. Mangum and Mr. Moore were not nominated for election until the February Board meeting. At that time, the "window period" following our annual earnings release had closed, and I advised them that it was not appropriate for them to consider purchasing shares of Reynolds stock. While we encourage stock ownership by our directors, we have not made ownership a prerequisite for recruitment of candidates, feeling that this would limit our ability to attract qualified candidates. We have, however, both through the adoption of the Stock Ownership Guidelines and through changes in our director compensation program, acted to ensure that our directors will be stock owners. I would request in consideration of the foregoing that you reconsider your vote. Sincerely, D. Michael Jones D. Michael Jones Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary _________, 1995 [Insert name and address] Dear __________: I have been advised that you have withheld authority to vote for W. H. Joyce, M. B. Mangum and D. L. Moore as directors of Reynolds Metals Company and am concerned that you did so solely because they did not own any Reynolds stock at the record date.
