CONVENING NOTICE

TO ATTEND THE EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON 5 MAY 2025

The Board of Directors of Titan Cement International SA (the Company) is pleased to invite the shareholders of the Company to the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders (the Meeting) to be held on Monday, 5 May 2025, at 10:00 a.m. CET, at the office of Berquin Notaries, located at 1000 Brussels, avenue Lloyd George 11.

Shareholders who wish to attend the Meeting remotely may have the option to do so by proxy or by voting remotely by correspondence before the Meeting.

AGENDA OF THE MEETING

  1. Approval of the change of the Company's name and amendment of articles 1 and 2 of the Company's articles of association.

Comment on the agenda item: The Board of Directors proposes that the Meeting approves the change of the Company's name from "Titan Cement International" to "Titan". Furthermore, the Board of Directors requests the Meeting to take note of the corresponding change to the Company's domain name, which will be updated from "www.titan-cement.com" to "www.titanmaterials.com". The Board of Directors believes that a company's name plays a critical role in shaping public perception, communicating its identity and values, differentiating it from competitors, and influencing customer impressions. These factors, in turn, contribute to the long-term success of the Company. In line with its commitment to sustainability and delivering value-added products and solutions for a sustainable future, the Company recognizes the importance of adopting a name that reflects its broader and more forward-thinking vision.

Proposed resolution: The Meeting decides to approve the change of the Company's name from "Titan Cement International" to "Titan" and to amend articles 1 and 2 of the Company's articles of association as follows:

"Article 1. LEGAL FORM – NAME

The company is a limited liability company (société anonyme/naamloze vennootschap). It is named "Titan".

Article 2. REGISTERED OFFICE – EMAIL ADDRESS – WEBSITE

The registered office of the company is situated in the Brussels region.

It may be transferred to any other place in Belgium by resolution of the board of directors, provided that the applicable language regulations are taken into account.

The company may, by resolution of the board of directors, establish one or more administrative offices, operational seats, branches, representations or agencies in Belgium or abroad.

The company's email address is [email protected] and the company's website is www.titanmaterials.com. The company may, by means of a decision of the board of directors, amend the address of its website as well as its email address, even if these are included in the articles of association."

  1. Acknowledgment of the special report of the Board of Directors setting out the specific circumstances under which the authorised capital may be used and the pursued goals, prepared in accordance with article 7:199 of the Belgian Code of Companies and Associations.

Proposed resolution: Given the fact that it only concerns an acknowledgment, no proposed resolution is included.

  1. Renewal of the authorizations to the Board of Directors, as granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 9 May 2022 and set out in article 6 of the articles of association of the Company. First, it is proposed that the Board of Directors is authorised to increase the capital of the Company, within the framework of the authorized capital, in one or several instances, by a (cumulated) maximum amount of EUR 959,347,807.86, with the possibility of incorporating reserves, issuing subscription rights and convertible bonds and limiting or cancelling the preferential subscription right of existing shareholders, including to the benefit of one or several determined persons other than members of the staff of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, for a period of five years as of the publication of the amendment of the articles of association in the Belgian Official Gazette. Second, it is proposed that the Board of Directors is authorized to increase the capital of the Company, within the framework of the authorized capital, after receipt by the Company of a notification by the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA – Autorité des Services et Marchés Financiers/Autoriteit voor Financiële Diensten en Markten) of a takeover bid for the Company's shares, for a period of three years as of the publication of the amendment of the articles of association in the Belgian Official Gazette, and amendment of article 6 of the articles of association.

Proposed resolution: The Meeting decides to renew the following authorisations to the Board of Directors, as granted by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders of 9 May 2022 and set out in article 6 of the articles of association of the Company. First, the Meeting decides to renew the authorization to the authorization to the Board of Directors to increase the capital of the Company, within the framework of the authorized capital, in one or several instalments, by

a (cumulated) maximum amount of EUR 959,347,807.86, with the possibility of incorporating reserves, issuing subscription rights and convertible bonds and limiting or cancelling the preferential subscription right of existing shareholders, including to the benefit of one or several specific persons other than members of the staff of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, for a period of five years as of the publication of the amendment of the articles of association in the Belgian Official Gazette. Second, the Meeting decided to renew the authorization of the Board of Directors to proceed with a capital increase in any and all form, including but not limited to a capital increase accompanied by the limitation or cancellation of the preferential subscription right, even after receipt by the Company of a notification by the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA – Autorité des Services et Marchés Financiers/Autoriteit voor Financiële Diensten en Markten) of a takeover bid for the Company's shares, for a period of three years as of the publication of the amendment of the articles of association in the Belgian Official Gazette.

Consequently, the Meeting decides to replace article 6 of the articles of association with the following text:

"§1. The board of directors may increase the share capital of the company in one or several times by a (cumulated) maximum amount of EUR 959,347,807.86.

This authorisation may be renewed in accordance with the relevant legal provisions. The board of directors can exercise this power for a period of five (5) years as from the date of publication in the Annexes to the Belgian Official Gazette of the amendment to these articles of association approved by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of 5 May 2025.

§2. Any capital increases which can be decided pursuant to this authorisation will take place in accordance with the modalities to be determined by the board of directors and may be effected (i) by means of a contribution in cash or in kind (where appropriate including share premium), (ii) through conversion of reserves, whether available or unavailable for distribution, and issuance premiums. In the latter events, the capital increase may be effected with or without issuance of new shares.

The board of directors can also use this authorisation for the issuance of convertible bonds, subscription rights or bonds to which subscription rights or other tangible values are connected, or other securities.

When exercising its authorisation within the framework of the authorised capital, the board of directors can limit or cancel the preferential subscription right of the shareholders in the interest of the company, subject to the limitations and in accordance with the conditions provided for by the Belgian Companies and Associations Code. This limitation or cancellation can also occur to the benefit of the members of staff of the company or its subsidiaries or to the benefit of one or more specific persons even if these are not members of staff.

§3. If, pursuant to a capital increase that has been decided within the framework of the authorised capital, an issuance premium is paid, this shall be booked on the account "Issuance Premiums". The board of directors may also use the abovementioned authorisations in order to issue new shares under the par value.

§4. The board of directors is hereby expressly empowered to proceed with a capital increase in any and all form, including but not limited to a capital increase accompanied by the limitation or cancellation of the preferential subscription right, even after receipt by the company of a notification by the Financial Services and Markets Authority (FSMA – Autorité des Services et Marchés Financiers/Autoriteit voor Financiële Diensten en Markten) of a takeover bid for the company's shares. Where this is the case, however, the capital increase must comply with the additional terms and conditions laid down in the Belgian Companies and Associations Code. The powers hereby conferred on the board of directors remain in effect for a period of three years from the date of the amendment to these articles of association approved by the extraordinary shareholders' meeting of 5 May 2025. These powers may be renewed for a further period of three years by resolution of the shareholders' meeting, deliberating and deciding in accordance with applicable rules. If the board of directors decides upon an increase of authorised capital pursuant to this authorisation, this increase will be deducted from the remaining part of the authorised capital specified in the first paragraph.

§5. The board of directors is authorised, with power of substitution, to amend the articles of association after each capital increase realised within the framework of the authorised capital, in order to bring them in line with the new situation of the share capital and the shares."

shares, which correspond to maximum 20% of the issued shares, for a price which will respect the legal requirements, but which will in any case not be more than 20% below the lowest closing price in the last thirty trading days preceding the transaction and not more than 20% above the highest closing price in the last thirty trading days preceding the transaction.
