Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 15, 2010, the board of directors of Kaiser Aluminum Corporation (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, selected Lauralee E. Martin to fill the vacancy on the board of directors of the Company resulting from the resignation of Georganne Proctor in April 2009. Ms. Martin, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating and Financial Officer of Jones Lang LaSalle, a financial and professional services firm specializing in real estate services and investment management, will serve as a Class II director and will hold office for a term expiring at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held in 2011 and until her successor is elected and qualified. Ms. Martin will serve on the Audit Committee and Compensation Committee of the board of directors.

Ms. Martin will receive the standard compensation provided to all of the Company’s non-employee directors. The standard compensation paid to non-employee directors includes an annual cash retainer, an annual grant of restricted stock, meeting fees and expense reimbursement. Ms. Martin's annual cash retainer and annual grant of restricted stock for 2010-2011 will be prorated to reflect service on the board of directors of less than one full year prior to the next annual meeting of stockholders.
