Explanatory Note – Deregistration of Securities
 
        On June 28, 1996, Century Aluminum Company (the “Registrant”) filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-07239) (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission, registering 100,000 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, current par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and an indeterminate amount of plan interests, to be offered or sold pursuant to the Century Aluminum Company 401(k) Plan (formerly the Ravenswood Aluminum Corporation Salaried Employee Defined Contribution Retirement Plan) (the “401K Plan”).  The 401K Plan no longer offers Common Stock as an investment option in the 401K Plan.  The 401K Plan otherwise continues in force.  Accordingly, the Registrant hereby deregisters all shares of Common Stock and such indeterminate amount of plan interests, in each case, previously registered for offering or sale pursuant to the 401K Plan that remain unissued.
