Correction to resolutions put to General Meeting on May 13th, 2009

At its April 21st, 2009 meeting, the Board of Directors of ERAMET decided to delete the 18th resolution from the list of resolutions put to shareholders' vote at the General Meeting of May 13th, 2009. The purpose of the resolution, approved by the Board of Directors at its meeting of February 18th, 2009 and published in Bulletin des Annonces Légales Obligatoires on April 6th, 2009, was to allow the grant of stock purchase or subscription options to the Group's employees and executives.

This decision is intended in a spirit of solidarity and results from the cost reduction efforts asked of all Group employees for 2009.

Consequently, the policy of distributing options or performance shares as a key component of a motivating variable compensation system for the Group's corporate officers, executives and employees is suspended in 2009.

However, the 19th resolution, which was published on April 6th, 2009 and is intended to provide for the grant of a maximum of 85,000 free shares to the Group's non-corporate officer employees, in order to bring the interests of employees and shareholders closer into line, is upheld. The setup of an allocation plan with an aggregate vesting and holding period of 4 years is planned during 2009. This plan would enable all the Group's employees, insofar as possible, to benefit from a grant of 5 ERAMET shares, subject to applicable financial, legal and fiscal conditions.
