Aperam publishes convening notice for Annual General Meeting of shareholders

Luxembourg May 7, 2021 (07:00 CET) - Aperam announces the publication of the convening notice for its Annual General Meeting of shareholders ("the General Meeting"), which will be held on Tuesday 8 June 2021.

In view of the COVID-19 outbreak, and related limitations on travel and gatherings, Aperam is taking precautionary measures to limit exposure for its employees, shareholders and other stakeholders. The Company's Board of Directors has therefore decided to hold this year's General Meeting without a physical presence, as permitted under Luxembourg law. Arrangements have therefore been made to provide shareholders with the opportunity to vote electronically and by proxy voting, and to attend a virtual questions & answers session.

The Aperam shareholders entitled to vote at the General Meeting will be those who are shareholders on the record date of 25 May 2021 at midnight (24:00 hours) Central European Time.

The convening notice, the annual report 2020, the voting forms and all other meeting documentation will be available on Aperam's website www.aperam.com under Investors - Equity investors - Annual General Meeting - 8 June 2021 - General Meeting of Shareholders.
