SHERRITT ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF NEW BOARD CHAIR

Sherritt International Corp. has appointed Brian Imrie as an independent director to the board of directors of the corporation. He has also been appointed chair of the board, effective immediately.

Mr. Imrie brings extensive leadership, capital markets and mining-sector experience to Sherritt. He is currently executive chair at PPX Mining Corp., where he has led the company through a period of growth that included capital raising and the assembly of a strong board and experienced operational team. He is also serving as a director of Snow Lake Resources Ltd., a Canadian nuclear fuel cycle and critical minerals company listed on Nasdaq, among other board and advisory roles. Mr. Imrie previously served as senior managing director and head of investment banking at Jennings Capital/Mackie Research Capital, global head of mining, M&A (mergers and acquisitions) at KPMG, and co-head of mergers and acquisitions, at National Bank Financial, following senior roles at Credit Suisse First Boston and Morgan Stanley. Mr. Imrie holds an MBA from Harvard Business School, a BA in economics and international relations from the University of Toronto, and an ICDD designation from the Institute of Corporate Directors.

Since the annual meeting of shareholders in June, the board has been conducting a focused process to identify at least one additional independent director with the necessary experience and skills to support Sherritt's growth strategy. Mr. Imrie's appointment is the outcome of that process and reflects the board's commitment to succession planning and ongoing refreshment. Concurrently with Mr. Imrie's appointment, Leon Binedell is stepping down as executive chair and Shelley Brown is stepping down as lead director, while remaining on the board as directors. Following Mr. Imrie's onboarding, an incumbent director will retire from the board by Dec. 31, 2025.

"We are pleased to welcome Brian to the board," Shelley Brown said. "Brian has a proven track record in value creation and relevant management, investment and operational experience in the mining industry. We believe he will add significant perspective to the board and support Sherritt's continued execution of its growth strategy."

The new board chair appointment and upcoming director retirement are both in fulfilment of Sherritt's commitment to continuing board refreshment under the standstill and support agreement between Sherritt, Ewing Morris & Co. Investment Partners Ltd. and SC2 Inc., pursuant to which Ewing Morris and SC2 have agreed to support all director nominees recommended by management at all shareholder meetings until June 30, 2026.
