The results of voting at Ferrexpo's Annual General Meeting ("AGM") held today, 23 May 2024, are summarised below. All Resolutions were voted by way of a poll.

As stated in the Company's AGM Notice and under Listing Rule 9.2.2E, a resolution to elect or re-elect an Independent Director must be passed by both a majority of the independent shareholders (excluding the Company's controlling shareholder) and a majority of all shareholders. In order to determine this, votes cast by the independent shareholders were counted separately in respect of the election or re-election of Fiona MacAulay, Stuart Brown, Vitalii Lisovenko and Natalie Polischuk and the results of that separate count are set out below.

Significant Votes Against Resolutions

The Board of Ferrexpo notes that there were a significant proportion (more than 20%) of votes cast against the resolutions to grant the directors authority to allot shares and to grant the directors authority to disapply pre-emption rights, and ultimately these resolutions did not pass. The Board of Ferrexpo understands that this voting outcome was primarily as a result of the Company's largest shareholder not wanting to incur further dilution to its voting interest in the Company. There were also a significant proportion (more than 20%) of votes cast against the re-election of one of our Company directors based on the outcome of the votes of the independent shareholders.

The Board will consult and engage with shareholders to better understand the reasons behind these votes and will publish an update of its shareholder engagement within six months of today's AGM.

As the re-appointment of Vitalii Lisovenko, as one of the Independent Non-executive Directors, did not receive the requisite votes required for re-appointment by a majority of the independent shareholders, the Company may, in accordance with the UK Listing Rules, put the matter to a second vote of all shareholders to be held between 90 and 120 days after the AGM. Pending the second vote, Mr Lisovenko shall remain a member of the Board of Ferrexpo for the period from the date of the AGM until the earlier of (a) the conclusion of any second vote, (b) the date 120 days after the AGM and (c) the date of any announcement by the Board that it does not intend to hold a second vote. If Mr Lisovenko's re-election is approved by a majority vote of all shareholders at the second vote, he will then be re-elected until the next AGM.

The Board currently intends to hold a second vote for the re-appointment of Mr Lisovenko as the Directors believe his expertise and contribution as a director is important for the Company. Further announcements will be made in due course.

Further Disclosures

As at the date of the AGM, the Company's issued share capital (excluding treasury shares) consisted of 598,137,142 Ordinary Shares carrying one vote each. Therefore, the total number of voting rights as at the date of the AGM was 598,137,142.
