We hope that the UK government's roadmap for the easing of COVID-19 restrictions continues to plan so that our Annual General Meeting (AGM) can proceed in the traditional format. However, we ask shareholders to consider if attendance at the AGM is necessary and in line with UK government guidance before travelling. A live webcast and telephone conference will be provided to ensure those that cannot attend in person can still participate and ask questions in real time, details of how to join are included within the important notes within the Notice of AGM. Shareholders can also send their questions to the company in advance of the AGM by emailing jmir@matthey.com.

Your vote is important to us and I strongly encourage all shareholders to exercise their votes by submitting their proxy forms either electronically or by post. Shareholders who wish to appoint a proxy are encouraged to appoint the Chair of the meeting as their proxy, this will ensure that your vote is counted given the unpredictable circumstances. Our live webcast will not have a voting facility, so it is important that you cast your vote ahead of the meeting.

The company will continue to closely monitor developments relating to COVID-19, including further UK government guidance and legislation. We will provide updates in relation to our AGM on our website at matthey.com and where appropriate, by Regulatory Information Service announcement.

Notes for completion of Form of Proxy

• 1 A member entitled to attend and vote at the meeting convened by the Notice of AGM is entitled to appoint a proxy to exercise all or any of his or her rights to attend and to speak and vote on his or her behalf at the meeting.

• 2 If the proxy is being appointed in relation to less than your full voting entitlement, please enter the number of shares over which he or she is authorised to act as your proxy in the box next to the proxy's name. If this box is left blank your proxy will be deemed to be authorised in respect of your full voting entitlement (or if this Form of Proxy has been issued in respect of a designated account for a shareholder, the full voting entitlement for that designated account).
• 3 A member can appoint more than one proxy in relation to the meeting, provided that each proxy is appointed to exercise the rights attaching to different shares held by that member.
