I don't see any reg issues here. Trading at a gross/annualised spread of 5.7%/11.6%, assuming six months to complete. Look to short Alcoa late in the US day, and buy Alumina early in the AU day.

AWC is trading wide. You have Allan Gray on side, and a 50% vote at AA (for the share issuance). And terms allow CITIC to roll up its shares into a larger entity. To note: in the NBIO, all INEDs, the MD and the CEO of AWC recommend AA's Offer. Missing is CITIC's Chen Zeng, an AWC NED. The flip side is: how often, if ever, do CITIC provide a public backing/undertaking to any deal (I don't know).
