STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN

I. Practical modalities

The Chairman subsequently invites the shareholders to proceed to the voting on each of the proposed resolutions on the agenda.

The Chairman reminds the meeting that each share gives the right to one vote and that only the shareholders and proxy holders of shareholders can participate to the voting.

The Chairman also reminds the meeting that, for the above-mentioned proposed resolutions regarding the items on the agenda to be validly adopted, they must be adopted by at least the majority of the votes cast validly, in accordance with article 27, third subparagraph of the Articles of Association of the Company.

II. Update on the "Put Option"

As announced by the Company in its press release dated 27 may 2022, the Chairman gives a brief update on the put option that the Company has in respect of its (entire) 2% participation in NN2 NewCo Limited ("NN2"), which the Nyrstar operating group holds, pursuant to which it has the right to sell this 2% shareholding to Trafigura New HoldCo (or, at the option of Trafigura New HoldCo, any other member of the Trafigura group that is legally entitled to make the relevant

5

purchase) for a fixed amount of EUR 20 million (the "Put Option"). The Chairman explains that the review by the independent expert is proceeding and is expected to be completed in July 2022. Once the Committee of Independent Directors has received and examined the final report, it will give its advice to the Board of Directors of the Company. The Board of Directors will then decide whether or not to exercise the Put Option, or to sell the 2% participation in NN2 to a third party, before the expiry date of the Put Option on 31 July 2022. In accordance with the information rights granted to the Company by Trafigura in the context of the restructuring (under the NNV- Trafigura Deed, NNV-NN2 SPA and the Put Option Deed), the Company has requested Trafigura to provide certain information in respect of the Nyrstar operating group for purposes of the assessment to the Company and Moore Belgium. Moore Belgium is currently reviewing all information that has been so provided by Trafigura and further information provided by the Company. The valuation exercise that is currently being done is aimed at valuing the 2% participation in NN2 by the Company as at 31 July 2022, on the basis of the most recent information available. Such information includes financial information of the Nyrstar operating group as at 31 May 2022. Accordingly, as the review by Moore Belgium and the Committee of Independent Directors has not been finalised, the Board of Directors cannot give any further indications at this point in time. The Board will only be able to make its final decision once the work of Moore Belgium and the Committee of Independent Directors has been finalised, and will make any further information available in accordance with Belgian law.

The Chairman proposes that the answers to these written questions will be read out first before proceeding to the additional questions that shareholders might have and explains that if, during the reading of the written questions and answers, there will be further questions from shareholders, these will be collected and answered later. The Chairman notes that the written questions and answers were made available on the Company's website (www.nyrstar.be) prior to the start of the meeting and these questions and answers are attached as an annex to these minutes.
