Gemfields Group Limited Virtual Annual General Meeting


LONDON, 15 JUNE 2021


Further to the Company’s announcement on 30 April 2021, shareholders should note the following in
respect of access to the VAGM to be held on Thursday, 24 June 2021 at 10 a.m. (British Summer Time).

Shareholders will be able to view and/or participate through the VAGM online facility. A step-by-step guide
on ‘How To Participate In The Annual General Meeting’ will be made available on the Company’s website
shortly.

Shareholders are strongly advised to submit their votes via proxy in the normal way prior to the VAGM.
An online voting facility will be available on the day (see below) but given the voting will be via a different
link to the webcast, shareholders may find it simpler to vote via proxy before the VAGM and then access
the interactive meeting on the day.

    1. The VAGM webcast can be accessed via the URL:
       https://www.corpcam.com/Gemsfield24062021
       or via telephonic link by registering by e-mail at:
       companysecretary@gemfields.com

             a. These links will be available for live streaming from 9:45 a.m. (British Summer Time) on
                Thursday, 24 June 2021 to facilitate login for shareholders. In order to access the URL
                and/or the telephonic link, shareholders will need their shareholder reference number.
                Please refer to paragraphs 2 and 3 below for information on how to obtain these or e-mail
                company.secretary@gemfields.com for further clarification.
             b. Shareholders may submit questions during the live webcast of the meeting by using the
                messaging option available on the webcast screen or alternatively, dialling in telephonically
                by registering by e-mail at companysecretary@gemfields.com. Shareholders may also
                submit questions in advance of the VAGM via e-mail to
                company.secretary@gemfields.com and it is requested that such questions be submitted at
                least 36 hours before the VAGM. Only questions pertinent to the VAGM will be answered
                during the meeting, subject to time constraints. Other questions from shareholders that
                are not pertinent to the VAGM will be dealt with after the meeting by Investor Relations
                (mark.lawrie@gemfields.com).
             c. Please note that shareholders cannot vote their shares via the webcast URL link. Please
                refer to paragraphs 2 and 3 below in relation to voting on the day of the VAGM via the
                online platform.
