ITEM 5.02   DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR PRINCIPAL OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS;
            APPOINTMENT OF PRINCIPAL OFFICERS.

This current report on Form 8-K/A is being filed by Novelis Inc. ("Novelis")
pursuant to Instruction 2 to Item 5.02 to amend the Form 8-K filed on May 25,
2006. The original Form 8-K announced the appointment of Kevin M. Twomey to the
Novelis Board of Directors, but did not disclose the committees on which Mr.
Twomey would serve because the Board of Directors had not yet made that
determination. On July 28, 2006, Mr. Twomey was appointed to serve on the Audit
Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of
Directors.
