Dear Shareholder

I am writing to give you notice of the Company's Annual General Meeting ('AGM') which is to be held in person and electronically from the offices of Herbert Smith Freehills LLP, Exchange House, Primrose Street, London EC2A 2EG on Tuesday 26 April 2022 at 10.00 am. This will be my first AGM as Chair, and I am looking forward to meeting and having discussions with shareholders.

AGM ARRANGEMENTS

The AGM is an opportunity for shareholders to express their views directly to the Board and I hope you will take the opportunity to do so. The AGM will be convened as a hybrid meeting in accordance with the Company's Articles of Association to facilitate shareholder participation with shareholders entitled to attend and vote at the AGM, either in person or electronically. If circumstances change (for example new UK Government guidance or restrictions) such that we need to amend the arrangements for the AGM, an update will be issued on the Company's website.

Whether or not you intend to be present at the AGM, you are strongly urged to appoint a proxy to cast your votes as soon as possible. You may appoint the Chairman of the AGM or another person as your proxy to exercise all or any of your rights to attend, vote and speak at the AGM by using one of the methods set out in the notes to this Notice. Your proxy must vote as you instruct and must attend the AGM for your vote to be counted.

All shareholders are sent either a Proxy Voting Form or an email containing their Voting ID, Task ID and Shareholder Reference Number. To appoint a proxy, you can either complete, sign and return the Proxy Voting Form, or submit an electronic proxy appointment instruction at sharevote.co.uk.

In order to be counted, your voting instructions must be received by the Company's Registrar at the relevant address set out in the additional notes to the notice of AGM, by no later than 10.00 am on Friday, 22 April 2022. Appointing a proxy will not preclude you from attending and voting in person at the AGM should you subsequently decide to do so.

Shareholders who plan to attend the meeting in person are asked not to attend the AGM if they are displaying any symptoms of COVID-19, or have recently been in contact with anyone who has tested positive within the previous 10 days. In order to further reduce the risk of the spread of the virus, we are encouraging shareholders who plan to attend the meeting in person to take a lateral flow test beforehand, on the day of the meeting. Shareholders are also encouraged to wear a face covering whilst at the AGM venue.

HOW TO PARTICIPATE AT THE AGM

We consider the AGM to be an important part of our shareholder engagement and have arranged an electronic facility to enable shareholders to participate in the meeting online in addition to being able to attend in person. To participate electronically, please go to the Lumi AGM website (https://web.lumiagm.com). Further details are set out on page 13.

HOW TO VOTE AT THE AGM

Shareholders who participate in the AGM, whether in person or electronically, will be able to vote in real time at the meeting. Shareholders who are unable to participate in the AGM, whether in person or electronically, on the day of the meeting are strongly encouraged to submit a proxy vote in advance of the AGM.

Further information on how to vote by proxy and the applicable deadlines are set out above and on pages 9 and 10.

The results of the voting on the AGM resolutions will be announced to the London Stock Exchange shortly after the meeting and also published on our website.

HOW TO ASK QUESTIONS AT THE AGM

Shareholders, proxies and corporate representations attending in person are able to ask the Board questions at the AGM and those attending electronically may ask questions by following the instructions set out on the Lumi platform.

In addition, for shareholders unable to attend the AGM in person or electronically, questions may be submitted in advance of the AGM. Presubmitted questions should be sent to the following email address before 10.00 am on 22 April 2022: company.secretariat@elementis.com. The Board will seek to respond to individual shareholders who send a question by close of business on 18 April 2022 and will respond on or before 20 April 2022.

A full transcript of the questions asked at the meeting and the answers, will be made available on the Company's website as soon as practically possible following the conclusion of the meeting.

BUSINESS OF MEETING

The matters to be dealt with at the AGM are set out in the Notice of AGM overleaf. You will find explanatory notes for each resolution on pages 5 to 8. Most resolutions are standard matters which are dealt with as a matter of course at every AGM.

DIVIDENDS

In light of the unprecedented uncertainty caused by COVID-19 during 2021, the Board is not proposing a final dividend for the year ended 31 December 2021. The Board recognises the importance of dividends to shareholders and we will keep future dividends under review and will restart payments when it is appropriate to do so.

DIRECTORS' RECOMMENDATION

The Board confirms that, in its opinion, all of the resolutions are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders as a whole and unanimously recommends that shareholders vote in favour of them. The Directors intend to vote in favour of the resolutions in respect of their own beneficial shareholdings.

Yours faithfully

JOHN O'HIGGINS Chairman

EXPLANATORY NOTES

The Notice of AGM appears on pages 3 to 4. The following information provides additional background information to each of the resolutions proposed.

RESOLUTION 1 - ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS

The Companies Act 2006 requires the directors of a public company to lay before the company in general meeting copies of the Annual Report and Accounts in respect of each financial year. As such, the Company proposes a resolution on its audited accounts and directors' and auditors' reports for the year ended 31 December 2021. Shareholders will have the opportunity to put any questions to the directors before the resolution is proposed to the Meeting.

RESOLUTIONS 2 AND 3 - DIRECTORS' REMUNERATION POLICY AND REPORT

The Company is required, pursuant to the Companies Act 2006, to put its Directors' Remuneration Policy to shareholders for approval at least every three years. Whilst the Company's current Directors' Remuneration Policy was approved by shareholders at the AGM in 2021, that approval followed a decision by the Remuneration Committee to "roll-over" its previous Directors' Remuneration Policy, which had been approved at the AGM in 2018, given the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company is therefore proposing a new policy for approval at the 2022 AGM, the form of which is set out on pages 108 to 112 of the Directors' Remuneration Report. The new policy has been updated in light of current best practice, with the proposed changes designed to provide further alignment of Directors' remuneration with the long term future of the Company and the interests of shareholders. A summary of the changes proposed can be found on pages 108 to 112 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2021. A review of the proposed policy has been carried out with relevant internal and external stakeholders.

The vote on Resolution 2 is binding and, if passed, it will apply immediately following the AGM, and will replace the current Directors' Remuneration Policy. The new Directors' Remuneration Policy will be effective for up to three financial years and the directors will only be able to make remuneration payments in accordance with the approved new policy unless such payments have otherwise been approved by shareholders. If Resolution 2 is not passed, the current remuneration policy approved at the AGM in 2021 will continue in effect until a new policy is approved by shareholders.

Resolution 3 is a vote on the Directors' Remuneration Report (excluding the Directors' Remuneration Policy). The report gives details of the Directors' remuneration for the year ended 31 December 2021. It is an advisory vote which means the outcome will not affect the actual remuneration paid to any individual director.

RESOLUTION 4 TO 10 - ELECTION AND RE-ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

In accordance with the provisions of the UK Corporate Governance Code concerning the annual re-election of all directors of premium listed companies, all the directors, will be retiring at the AGM and offer themselves for election or re-election by shareholders.

The Board and the Nomination Committee have discussed the Board's succession plans and all Non-Executive Directors, including the Chairman, have indicated their willingness to be re-appointed.

Biographical details of each of the Directors standing for election and re-election are set out below, together with the reasons why their contributions are, and continue to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success.

RESOLUTIONS 11 AND 12 - APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR AND AUDITOR'S REMUNERATION

Resolution 11 relates to the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP as the Company's auditor to hold office until the next AGM of the Company. This resolution is recommended by the Audit Committee and endorsed by the Board. The directors propose the re-appointment of Deloitte LLP.

Resolution 12 authorises the Audit Committee of the Board to set the auditor's remuneration. The Audit Committee considers that the nature and level of consultancy-related non-audit fees to audit fees undertaken by Deloitte LLP (which are detailed on page 99 of the Annual Report and Accounts 2021) is in accordance with the Company's non-audit services policy, is appropriate for the advisory work required to be undertaken for the year ended 31 December 2021 and that they do not impact on the auditor's objectivity and independence.

RESOLUTION 13 - GENERAL AUTHORITY TO ALLOT SHARES

Under the Companies Act 2006, the directors may only allot equity securities (being ordinary shares in the capital of the Company or grant rights to subscribe for or convert any security into shares), if authorised to do so by shareholders in general meeting. At last year's AGM held on 13 May 2021, shareholders granted the directors such authority to allot equity securities.

Part (a) of Resolution 13 seeks to renew that authority to allow the directors to allot equity securities up to an aggregate nominal amount of £9,697,641 representing an amount equal to one-third of the Company's issued share capital as at 15 March 2022 the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this document. The Company holds no shares in treasury ("Treasury Shares").

In addition, the Company is seeking authority in part (b) of Resolution 12 to allow the directors to allot equity securities only in connection with a rights issue up to a further nominal value of £9,697,641, representing an amount equal to one-third of the Company's issued share capital, excluding Treasury Shares, as at 15 March 2022.

The authority being sought in Resolution 13 complies with the latest guidelines issued by the Investment Association. If Resolution 13 is passed, the directors will have the authority in certain circumstances to allot equity securities up to a total nominal value of £19,395,282, representing a total amount equal to two-thirds of the Company's issued share capital, excluding Treasury Shares, as at 15 March 2022.

The directors have no present intention of exercising the authority in Resolution 13, however the directors consider it desirable to have the maximum flexibility permitted by corporate governance guidelines to manage the Company's share capital base. The authority granted in Resolution 13 will expire on the date of the Company's next AGM or 26 July 2023, whichever is the earlier.

RESOLUTION 14 - POLITICAL DONATIONS

This resolution will renew the authority granted to the Group in last year's AGM to make donations to political parties, independent election candidates and political organisations and to incur political expenditure.

The Group's policy is generally to prohibit direct or indirect political contributions and the directors have no intention of using this authority for the above purpose. What constitutes a political donation, a political party, a political organisation, or political expenditure is not easy to define, as the legislation is capable of wide interpretation. Sponsorship, subscriptions, payment of expenses, paid leave for employees fulfilling public duties, and support for bodies representing the business community in policy review or reform, may fall within this.

Accordingly, the directors have decided to seek shareholder authority for political donations and political expenditure in case any of our normal business activities are caught by the legislation. As permitted by Part 14 of the Companies Act 2006, the resolution covers any political donations made, or political expenditure incurred, by any subsidiaries of the Company. The Companies Act 2006 covers three categories: political parties and independent election candidates, political organisations and political expenditure. The directors have decided to place a cap of £50,000 per category provided that authorised political donations or political expenditure do not exceed in aggregate £50,000. The authority will expire at the conclusion of the next AGM or 26 July 2023 (whichever is earlier) and the directors expect to seek to renew this authority at each AGM.

RESOLUTION 15 - NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

This special resolution, if renewed, will allow the Company to call general meetings, other than the AGM, on 14 clear days' notice. The reduction in notice period to 14 days may be advantageous to the Company should it require to seek shareholder approval on any matter. However, the shorter notice period would not be routine but used only for general meetings if the Board considers that the flexibility is merited by the business of the meeting and the circumstances surrounding the business, or to keep a period of uncertainty about the future of the Company to a minimum. Examples of when the directors may consider it appropriate to call a general meeting at 14 days' notice include when significant time sensitive transactions or other price sensitive transactions are being put to shareholders for approval.

RESOLUTION 16 AND 17 - AUTHORITY TO ALLOT SHARES FOR CASH FREE FROM PRE-EMPTION RIGHTS

Under the Companies Act 2006, the directors may seek approval from shareholders to waive the application of statutory pre-emption rights such that the allotment of equity securities pursuant to the authority granted in Resolution 13 may be made without first having to offer it to existing shareholders in proportion to their existing holdings.

At last year's AGM shareholders passed two special resolutions in relation to the disapplication of statutory pre-emption rights.

This year, and in line with the Pre-Emption Group's Statement of Principles on the Disapplication of Pre-Emption Rights (the Preemption Group Principles) the directors have proposed again two separate resolutions to disapply pre-emption rights.

Resolution 16 will permit the directors to use the authority in Resolution 13 to allot:

• a. equity securities up to a nominal amount of £19,395,282, representing two-thirds of the Company's issued share capital as at 15 March 2022 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) on an offer to existing shareholders on a pre-emptive basis, that is including a rights issue or an open offer, with one-third being available only in connection with a rights issue as a result of the limitation on the authority in Resolution 13 (in each case subject to any adjustments, such as for fractional entitlements and overseas shareholders, as the directors see fit); and
• b. equity securities up to a maximum nominal value of £1,454,646, representing approximately 5 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 15 March 2022 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document) otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders.

Resolution 17 will permit the directors to allot additional equity securities up to a maximum nominal value of £1,454,646, representing approximately a further 5 per cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company as at 15 March 2022 (the latest practicable date prior to publication of this document), otherwise than in connection with a pre-emptive offer to existing shareholders for the purposes of financing or refinancing a transaction as contemplated by the Pre-emption Principles. The directors believe that it is appropriate to seek this additional 5 per cent authority in Resolution 17 to give the Company the flexibility that this resolution affords.

The Board confirms that, in accordance with the Pre-Emption Principles, it does not intend to issue shares for cash representing more than 7.5 per cent of the Company's issued ordinary share capital in any rolling three-year period to those who are not existing shareholders (save in accordance with Resolution 16) without prior consultation with shareholders. If passed, the authorities given in Resolution 16 and 17 will expire on the date of the Company's next AGM or 26 July 2023, whichever is the earlier.

The directors do not currently intend to allot equity securities for cash on a non pre-emptive basis pursuant to the authority in Resolution 16 and 17.

RESOLUTION 18 - AUTHORITY FOR THE COMPANY TO PURCHASE ITS OWN SHARES

This special resolution will renew the Company's authority to make market purchases of its ordinary shares on the London Stock Exchange until the Company's next AGM or, if earlier, until 26 July 2023. The directors have no plans at present to exercise such authority and, in any event, would only do so where they believe such purchases would result in an increase in earnings per share and would be in the best interests of shareholders generally. The authority will allow the Company to purchase up to 58,185,845 ordinary shares, representing 10 per cent of the Company's issued share capital as at 15 March 2022, the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this document. The Resolution also sets out the maximum and minimum price at which any such purchase may be made.

The Company is able to hold shares purchased under this authority in treasury with a view to selling them later on, rather than cancelling them. This provides the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. For so long as any such shares are held in treasury no dividends will be paid on them and no voting rights will attach to them. If Resolution 18 is passed, it is the Company's current intention to cancel the shares it may purchase pursuant to the authority granted to it. However, in order to respond properly to the Company's capital requirements and prevailing market conditions, the directors will reassess at the time of any and each actual purchase whether to hold the shares in treasury or cancel them, provided it is permitted to do so.

The number of unissued shares that were subject to subscription options as at 15 March 2022 was approximately 6,559,000. This equals, in number, 1.13% per cent of the Company's issued shares at that date. If the proposed share purchase authority were to be exercised in full, those 6,559,000 shares would represent 1.25 per cent of the issued shares as reduced by the share purchases. As at 15 March 2022, the latest practicable date prior to the printing of this document, the Company was authorised to make market purchases of up to 58,080,124 ordinary shares pursuant to an ordinary resolution passed at the 2021 AGM on substantially the same terms as those set out in Resolution 18.
