Note to GDR Holders: Changes to Procedures

Note to all GDR Holders: Process for withdrawal of shares from the Depositary Programme

Amsterdam, 22 May 2017 – Vimetco N.V. (LSE: VICO), the global producer of primary and processed aluminium products, today announces that the Company has updated the share withdrawal procedures from the Depositary facility. If you are a holder of GDRs who intends to withdraw shares in the Company from the Depositary facility prior to the expected termination thereof, please refer to the procedures uploaded onto the Company's website at: http://www.vimetco.com/delisting_and_egm. As a result of discrepancies between the procedures required under Dutch law and those required by the Depositary, the Company has agreed with the Depositary changes to the steps required to withdraw shares from the Depositary facility to ensure a smooth transition both with respect to before and after delisting. On this basis, if you have already sent the completed Share Transfer Agreement to the Depositary and/or Houthoff in the Netherlands, the Company advises that you repeat this procedure based on the updated agreement now uploaded onto the Vimetco website.
