Changes to Board Roles

 

The Board of Directors ("Board") of Ferrexpo plc (LSE: FXPO), the world's
3(rd) largest exporter of high grade iron ore pellets to the global steel
industry, is pleased to announce that the Board has elected to change a number
of Board roles.

 

In respect of the role of Senior Independent Director, the Board has elected
to appoint Independent Non-executive Director Fiona MacAulay into this role in
place of Vitalii Lisovenko, who has completed two and half years in this
position. During this time, Mr Lisovenko has played a significant role in the
Board's engagement with the Group's workforce in Ukraine throughout the global
Covid-19 pandemic, and also during a period of significant changes in the
Group's senior leadership team. Mr Lisovenko will remain as an Independent
Non-executive Director of the Group, and maintains a strong presence in
Ukraine for the Board, where the Group's primary operations are based.

 

In addition, Independent Non-executive Director Ann-Christin Andersen has been
appointed as Chair of the Group's Health, Safety, Environment and Community
("HSEC") Committee, with this change effective as of today.

 

In December 2021, the Board announced the appointment of Natalie Polischuk as
an additional Independent Non-executive Director, increasing the Group's
Independent Non-executive Directors to five. As part of the changes announced
today, Ms Polischuk has been appointed as a member of both the Audit Committee
and HSEC Committee.

 

Lucio Genovese, Chair of Ferrexpo, said:

"I would like to thank Vitalii Lisovenko for his two and a half years in the
role of Senior Independent Director and I welcome Fiona MacAulay into the
role. Vitalii has helped develop a strong connection between the Group's
workforce in Ukraine and the Board, particularly against an uncertain backdrop
of the global Covid-19 pandemic. As part of the rotation of roles announced
today, Ann-Christin Andersen is appointed to the role of Chair of HSEC
Committee, which we feel is an excellent fit given Ann-Christin's background
in renewable energy, circular economy sectors and industrial digitalisation.

 

"Finally, we are pleased to confirm the appointment of Natalie Polischuk to
the Audit and HSEC Committees, who brings a wealth of experience of the
Ukrainian business environment."
