ANNOUNCEMENT

Nyrstar NV announces today that Mr. Jesús Fernandez Lopez has stepped down as a director of Nyrstar NV, with immediate effect. Mr Fernandez was appointed in April 2016 upon the proposal of Nyrstar’s shareholder, Trafigura, where Mr. Fernandez holds a position as head of Mergers & Acquisitions.

Nyrstar understands that Mr. Fernandez will now be representing Trafigura in the negotiations regarding Nyrstar’s capital review process. Accordingly, Mr. Fernandez and Trafigura have agreed with Nyrstar that it would promote clarity around that process if Mr. Fernandez stepped down as a Board member of Nyrstar.

Martyn Konig, Executive Chairman, said “On behalf of the whole board, I would like to express our sincere gratitude to Mr. Fernandez for his service to Nyrstar over the past 2-3 years.”

As previously announced, Mrs. Jane Moriarty will join the board as a new independent director and is proposed to be appointed at the general shareholders' meeting on 14 March 2019.
