Nyrstar’s response to recent and ongoing developments concerning Nyrstar N.V.

Nyrstar Netherlands (Holdings) B.V. ("Nyrstar") is aware of recent media coverage relating to Nyrstar N.V. and an ongoing judicial investigation in Belgium.

Nyrstar wishes to make clear that Nyrstar N.V. is an entirely separate legal entity from Nyrstar. Nyrstar N.V. has no active business operations and holds no ownership interest in Nyrstar's operations in Europe or Australia. Those operations are owned by Nyrstar, a wholly owned subsidiary of Trafigura. They are not a party to this investigation and continue to operate normally.

Note for editors:

Following a court-sanctioned debt restructuring in 2019, the operational assets of Nyrstar N.V. were transferred into Nyrstar Netherlands (Holdings) B.V., a wholly owned subsidiary of Trafigura. Nyrstar N.V. retained a listing on the Brussels Stock Exchange but has held no active business operations since that time.

The two entities share a common name, but are entirely distinct in their legal structure, ownership, and operations.
