LETTER FROM THE INTERIM EXECUTIVE CHAIR

FERREXPO PLC
Registered in England and Wales
Company number: 5432915

REGISTERED OFFICE:
55 St James's Street

29 May 2026

TO THE HOLDERS OF FERREXPO PLC ORDINARY SHARES

Dear Shareholder,

On behalf of the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Ferrexpo plc (the "Company") I am delighted to issue the notice of the nineteenth Annual General Meeting of the Company (the "AGM"). The AGM will be held at 11.00am on Monday, 29 June 2026 at the offices of Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer LLP, Exchange House, Primrose Street, London, EC2A 2EG.

As announced on 22 and 28 April 2026, the Company is seeking to undertake an equity fundraise of at least US$100m. This equity funding is required to support the operations of the Ferrexpo Group for the next 18 months. The Ferrexpo Group's operations have been significantly impacted since the commencement of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, resulting in reduced operating activities and periods of a total suspension of operations. This has significantly impacted the revenue of the Group. Further, the decision of the Ukrainian tax authorities to suspend VAT refunds to the Group since March 2025 in an approximate amount of US$90m has further significantly impacted the liquidity position of the Group.

The Company intends to complete the equity fundraise as soon as practically possible and is actively working towards achieving this goal. However, the Company is not yet in a position to formally launch the equity fundraise. Until the equity fundraise is ready for launch, the Company is unable to publish its audited financial results for the year ended 31 December 2025 on a going concern basis, as the Company and its auditors require sufficient certainty relating to the launch and successful completion of the equity fundraise before signing off on the accounts.

As a result of the delay to the equity fundraise, and given the dependency on launching the equity fundraise in order to publish the audited financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025 on a going concern basis, the Company is not able to finalise the audited Annual Report and Accounts for the year ended 31 December 2025 but is aiming to do so as soon as possible.

Given the delay to the publication of the Group's Annual Report and Accounts, certain resolutions relating to the Annual Report and Accounts, the re-appointment and remuneration of the Group's auditor, and the Directors' remuneration report will not form part of the business at the AGM this year. The Company intends to convene a separate shareholder meeting following publication of the Annual Report and Accounts where resolutions on these matters will be tabled. Further details of this meeting will be provided in due course.

This AGM is being held to cover routine business only, namely the re-election of Directors and renewal of authorities given to make market purchases of its own shares and to call general meetings by notice of 14 clear days. All Directors will retire at the 2026 AGM and seek re-election by shareholders, except for Mr Vitalii Lisovenko, who as previously announced will stand down as a Director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the AGM. On behalf of the Board, I would like to thank Vitalii for his service to the Company and the valuable contributions he has made throughout his tenure.

It is important once again to acknowledge the devastating impacts which the Russian invasion of Ukraine is continuing to have on Ukraine and the people, communities and businesses within the country. Strong governance remains essential to help see the Company through this very challenging time. Protecting the Group's workforce is a key priority, as well as taking steps to protect the business and thereby the stakeholders of the business. This will remain a key priority during 2026 and the Board will continue to focus on exercising strong governance during these difficult times.

FERREXPO PLC 2026 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

FERREXPO PLC 2026 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS

ORDINARY BUSINESS

Resolutions 1 to 4 will be proposed as ordinary resolutions and will be passed if more than 50% of shareholders' votes cast are in favour.

RESOLUTIONS 1 TO 4: TO RE-ELECT THE DIRECTORS

In accordance with the recommendations of the UK Corporate Governance Code (the "Code") and in keeping with the Board's aim of following best corporate governance practice, all of the Directors, except for Mr Vitalii Lisovenko who will stand down as a director of the Company with effect from the conclusion of the AGM, will retire and seek re-election at the AGM. Directors' biographies are summarised at the end of these explanatory notes on pages 4 to 8 and appear on the Company's website. The Board is satisfied that each of the Directors proposed for re-election continues to make an important contribution to the Company's long-term sustainable success. In accordance with provision 18 of the Code a summary of the skills, experience and contribution of each director proposed for re-election, which in the Board's view illustrates why each Director's contribution is, and continues to be, important to the Company's long-term sustainable success, can be found together with the Directors' biographies at the end of these explanatory notes on pages 4 to 8.

RE-ELECTION OF INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS

The Directors whom the Board has determined are independent for the purpose of the Code are Fiona MacAulay and Stuart Brown.

Because the Company has a controlling shareholder (i.e. a shareholder who controls more than 30% of the votes at a General Meeting of the Company), under rule 10.6.16 of the UK Listing Rules this Notice is required to state certain information concerning any independent Director proposed for re-election, and under rule 6.2.8 of the UK Listing Rules such re-election must be approved by a majority vote of both: the independent shareholders (i.e. shareholders of the Company who are entitled to vote on the election of Directors and who are not controlling shareholders); and the shareholders as a whole.

In order to determine this, the Company will arrange for the number of votes cast by the independent shareholders to be counted separately, and will announce the results of the voting on both bases. If a majority vote is not achieved on both bases, the Company may under the UK Listing Rules put the matter to a second vote, this time a single vote of the shareholders as a whole at the meeting, to be held between 90 and 120 days after the AGM. Pending the second vote, the relevant Director or Directors will be deemed to have been re-elected only 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 the independent Director's re-election is approved by a majority vote of all shareholders at the second general meeting, the Director will then be re-elected until the next annual general meeting.

The UK Listing Rule requirements for companies with a controlling shareholder also require (in rule 10.6.16 of the UK Listing Rules) additional disclosures about the independent directors' relationships, independence, effectiveness and appointments. This information is set out below.

Relationships and Transactions:

The Company has received confirmation from each of the independent Directors that there are no existing or previous relationships, transactions or arrangements between any of the independent Directors and the Company, its Directors, any controlling shareholder or any associate of a controlling shareholder.

Effectiveness of independent Directors:

The background and experience of each of the independent Directors will be set out in the 2025 Annual Report. A summary of the Directors' biographies is included at the end of these explanatory notes on pages 4 to 8 and on the Company's website. The Board believes that each independent Director shows the proper commitment to his or her role, has sufficient time to undertake his or her responsibilities on behalf of the Company, and makes an effective contribution, drawing on his or her own expertise and experience.

Independence of independent Directors:

The Board has carefully considered the guidance criteria on the independence of Directors given in the Code, and believes that each of the independent Directors remains independent in character and judgement, and that there are no circumstances which are likely to impair, or could appear to impair, his or her independence.

FERREXPO PLC 2026 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS CONTINUED

Selection of independent Directors:

The Board uses executive search consultants in the search for new independent Directors. The preferred candidate is subsequently interviewed by each member of the Board before being appointed. The search consultants used in relation to the appointment of Fiona MacAulay (appointed August 2019) were the Savannah Group and in relation to the appointment of Stuart Brown (appointed October 2023) the search consultants were Stonehaven International.

Position of the Interim Executive Chair:

The Board Chair was not independent on appointment, his tenure has exceeded nine years and the Board Chair currently fulfils an executive role within the Group on an interim basis, which is not in compliance with the Code.

The Board is satisfied that Mr Genovese is fully independent from all the Company's shareholders and has been during his entire tenure as a Director. Additionally, upon his appointment as Chair the members of the Nominations Committee were comfortable based on their own experiences that Mr Genovese conducts himself with professional and personal integrity with an independent mindset and brings valuable challenge to the Board based on his in-depth understanding of the key drivers and challenges faced by the Group.

The Board is satisfied that Mr Genovese's continuance as Interim Executive Chair adds considerable value to the business given his experience, leadership qualities and detailed knowledge of the Group. He has more than 32 years' experience of Ukraine together with in-depth knowledge of the socio-political and economic environment. He has specific iron ore mining knowledge coupled with solid experience of UK plc corporate governance matters. These qualities enable him to provide sound leadership to the Board based on his personal experience and knowledge which facilitates constructive discussions and Board decisions.

Mr Genovese is committed to having a diverse and inclusive Board and workforce. He has overseen the design and implementation of succession plans to facilitate increased independence and diversity. The Board considers that Mr Genovese continues to demonstrate objective judgement and provides constructive challenge, and believes that his continued appointment is appropriate without fixing a time limit to his service.

The Board believes Mr Genovese is the right person to continue in the role of Executive Chair on an interim basis. To provide continuity of his sound leadership, we request your support to re-elect Mr Genovese as a Director at the AGM.

SPECIAL BUSINESS

As well as the ordinary business of the meeting outlined above, a number of special matters will be dealt with at the AGM. Resolutions 5 and 6 will be proposed as special resolutions. For these resolutions to be passed, at least 75% of shareholders' votes cast must be in favour.

RESOLUTION 5: AUTHORITY TO PURCHASE OWN SHARES

Under the 2006 Act, the Company requires authorisation from shareholders if it wishes to purchase its own shares. Resolution 5 seeks to renew the existing authority given at the 2025 annual general meeting. The resolution specifies the maximum number of shares that may be purchased (approximately 10% of the Company's issued share capital excluding treasury shares) and the highest and lowest prices at which they may be bought.

The Company can hold the shares which have been repurchased as treasury shares and either resell them for cash, cancel them, either immediately or at a point in the future, or use them for the purposes of its employee share schemes. The Directors believe that it is desirable for the Company to have this choice and therefore expect that, should Resolution 5 be passed, they would hold any shares purchased pursuant to this authority as treasury shares. Holding the repurchased shares as treasury shares will give the Company the ability to re-sell or transfer them in the future, and so provide the Company with additional flexibility in the management of its capital base. However, in order to respond properly to the Company's capital requirements and prevailing market conditions, the Directors will need to reassess at the time of any actual purchase whether to hold the shares in treasury or cancel them.

FERREXPO PLC 2026 NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING


EXPLANATORY NOTES TO THE RESOLUTIONS CONTINUED

The Directors have no present intention of exercising this authority. The Directors intend to keep under review the Company's potential to buy back its shares, taking into account the financial resources of the Company, the Company's share price and other investment and funding opportunities. The authority will only be used if, in the opinion of the Directors, this will result in an increase in earnings per share and is otherwise in the best interests of shareholders generally. No dividends will be paid on, and no voting rights will be exercised in respect of, treasury shares. As at the latest practicable date prior to publication of this Notice, other than options granted under the Company's employee shares schemes there were no outstanding warrants or options to subscribe for ordinary shares.

RESOLUTION 6: NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS

The minimum notice period required by the 2006 Act for general meetings of listed companies is 21 clear days, unless shareholders approve a shorter notice period, which cannot however be less than 14 clear days. Annual general meetings must always be held on at least 21 clear days' notice. At the 2025 annual general meeting, shareholders authorised the calling of general meetings (other than annual general meetings) on a minimum of 14 clear days' notice, and it is proposed that this authority be renewed. The approval will be effective until the Company's next annual general meeting, when it is intended that a similar resolution will be proposed. The Company will also need to meet the requirement to provide electronic voting for shareholders in order to be able to call a general meeting on less than 21 clear days' notice. The flexibility afforded by this resolution will be used where, taking the circumstances into account, the Directors consider this to be appropriate in relation to the business to be considered at the meeting and in the interests of the Company and shareholders as a whole.

NOTES TO THE NOTICE OF AGM CONTINUED

NOMINATED PERSONS

  1. Any person to whom this notice is sent who is a person nominated under section 146 of the 2006 Act to enjoy information rights (a “Nominated Person”) may have a right under an agreement between them and the shareholder by whom they were nominated, to be appointed (or to have someone else appointed) as a proxy for the meeting. If a Nominated Person has no such right or does not wish to exercise it, they may have a right under such an agreement to give instructions to the shareholder as to the exercise of voting rights. The statement of the rights of shareholders set out in paragraphs 1, 2 and 14 does not apply to Nominated Persons: the rights described in those paragraphs can only be exercised by registered shareholders of the Company. Nominated Persons are reminded that they should contact the registered holder of their shares (and not the Company) on matters relating to their investments in the Company.

CORPORATE SHAREHOLDERS

  1. Corporate shareholders may authorise a person or persons to act as representative(s) to attend, speak and vote on their behalf at the Annual General Meeting by submitting a corporate representation letter. To assist with the registration process, a corporate representation letter should be presented to the Company’s registrar, Equiniti, for validation not later than 11.00am on Thursday, 25 June 2026. More than one corporate representative may be appointed by a corporate shareholder, provided that each corporate representative has been appointed under a valid letter of representation. In accordance with the provisions of the 2006 Act, all such corporate representatives may exercise (on behalf of the corporate shareholder) the same powers as the corporation could exercise if it were an individual member of the Company, provided that they do not do so in relation to the same shares as another representative of the same corporation.

QUESTIONS AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  1. Any member attending the meeting has the right to ask questions. The Company must cause to be answered any such question relating to the business being dealt with at the meeting but no such answer need be given if: (i) to do so would interfere unduly with the preparation for the meeting or involve the disclosure of confidential information; (ii) the answer has already been given on a website in the form of an answer to a question; or (iii) it is undesirable in the interests of the Company or the good order of the meeting that the question be answered.

VOTING AT THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

  1. Voting on Resolutions 1 to 6 will be conducted by way of a poll rather than a show of hands. This is a more transparent method of voting, as member votes are to be counted according to the number of shares held. Members, proxies and corporate representatives will be asked to complete a pollcard to indicate how they wish to cast their votes. These cards will be collected at the end of the meeting. As soon as practicable following the meeting, the results of the voting at the meeting and the numbers of votes cast for and against and the number of votes actively withheld in respect of each of the resolutions will be announced via a Regulatory Information Service and also placed on the Company’s website: www.ferrexpo.com.

WEBSITE PUBLICATION OF REQUEST MADE BY MEMBERS IN RESPECT OF AUDIT OR AUDITORS

  1. Shareholders satisfying the thresholds in section 527 of the 2006 Act can require the Company to publish a statement on its website setting out any matter relating to (a) the audit of the Company’s accounts (including the auditor’s report and the conduct of the audit) that are to be laid before the meeting; or (b) any circumstances connected with the auditor of the Company ceasing to hold office since the last Annual General Meeting that the members propose to raise at the meeting. The Company may not require the members requesting the publication to pay its expenses. Any such statement placed on the website must also be sent to the Company’s auditors no later than the time at which it is placed on the website. The business to be dealt with at the Annual General Meeting will include any such statement that the Company has been required to publish on its website.

TOTAL NUMBER OF SHARES AND VOTING RIGHTS

  1. As at 27 May 2026 (being the latest practicable date prior to the publication of this notice), the Company’s issued share capital consists of 613,967,956 ordinary shares, carrying one vote each. The Company holds 15,830,814 ordinary shares in treasury and is not permitted to exercise voting rights in respect of those shares. Therefore the total voting rights in the Company are 598,137,142.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ELECTRONIC PROXY APPOINTMENT THROUGH CREST

  1. If you are a CREST member and want to appoint a proxy using the CREST electronic appointment service, you can do so using the procedures described in the CREST Manual on the Euroclear website (www.euroclear.com/CREST) subject to the Company's Articles of Association. If you are a CREST member, a CREST sponsored member or a CREST member that has appointed a voting service provider you should request the sponsor or voting service provider to take the appropriate action on your behalf.

  2. In order for a proxy appointment or instruction made using the CREST service to be valid, the appropriate CREST message (a "CREST proxy instruction") must be properly authenticated in accordance with Euroclear UK and International Limited's specifications and must contain the information required for such instructions, as described in the CREST Manual. The message, regardless of whether it constitutes the appointment of a proxy or an amendment to the instruction given to a previously appointed proxy must, in order to be valid, be transmitted so as to be received by Equiniti Limited (ID: RA19) no later than 48 hours before the time at which the meeting is due to begin. For this purpose, the time of receipt will be taken to be the time (as determined by the time stamp applied to the message by the CREST Applications Host) from which our Registrars will be able to retrieve the message by enquiry to CREST in the manner prescribed in CREST. After this time any change of instructions to proxies appointed through CREST should be communicated to the appointee through other means.

  3. Euroclear UK and International Limited does not make available special procedures in CREST for any particular messages. Normal system timings and limitations therefore apply in relation to the input of CREST proxy instructions. CREST members (or appointee members) are responsible for taking (or arranging for their CREST sponsor or voting service provider to take) any necessary action to ensure that a message is transmitted by means of the CREST system by any particular time. CREST members and CREST sponsors and voting service providers are referred to those sections of the CREST Manual concerning practical limitations of the CREST system and timings.

  4. The Company may treat as invalid a CREST proxy instruction in the circumstances set out in Regulation 35(5) (a) of the Uncertificated Securities Regulations 2001.

  5. If you are an institutional investor, you may be able to appoint a proxy electronically via the Proxymity platform, a process which has been agreed by the Company and approved by the Registrar. For further information regarding Proxymity, please go to www.proxymity.io. Your proxy must be lodged by 11.00am on Thursday, 25 June 2026 in order to be considered valid. Before you can appoint a proxy via this process you will need to have agreed to Proxymity's associated terms and conditions. It is important that you read these carefully as you will be bound by them, and they will govern the electronic appointment of your proxy.
