Aurubis AG appoints Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operations Officer,
completing the restructuring of the Executive Board

Hamburg, June 20, 2024 - The Aurubis AG Supervisory Board met today and
appointed Dr. Toralf Haag (58) new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Tim
Kurth (56) new Chief Operations Officer for custom smelting - effective
September 1, 2024. This completes the restructuring of the Aurubis Executive
Board announced in January 2024

With the appointments of Dr. Toralf Haag and Tim Kurth, the Executive Board
will initially consist of the following members starting September 1, 2024:
Dr. Toralf Haag (CEO), the two COOs Inge Hofkens and Tim Kurth, and Prof.
Markus Kramer (Chief Transformation Officer, CTO). Prof. Kramer will be
recalled to the Supervisory Board as planned on September 30, 2024. Current
CEO Roland Harings (60) will hand over the reins as of August 31, 2024, and
the appointment of Dr. Haag will ensure a smooth transfer.

As announced in January 2024, Rainer Verhoeven will be leaving the company
as CFO effective June 30, 2024. In the interim period from July 1 to
September 30, 2024, Prof. Kramer will assume the responsibilities of CFO in
addition to his role as CTO. On October 1, Steffen Alexander Hoffmann will
take over as CFO.

Future CEO Dr. Toralf Haag has a wide range of industry experience. After
completing a business degree at the University of Augsburg and receiving a
doctorate from the University of Kiel, Dr. Toralf Haag joined Thyssen
Handelsunion AG in Düsseldorf in 1994. From 1994 to 2001, he held various
management positions in the ThyssenKrupp Group, including four years in the
US. From 2002 to 2005, Dr. Haag served as CFO of the Norddeutsche Affinerie
AG, today Aurubis AG, before taking a position as CFO of Swiss chemical and
pharmaceutical company Lonza Group AG in 2005. He joined the Executive Board
of the Voith Group in October 2016, where he has served as acting CEO since
October 2018.

Current Managing Director Aurubis Bulgaria and Plant Manager of the
Bulgarian site in Pirdop, Tim Kurth, studied at Friedberg University of
Applied Sciences. He began his career with Unilever followed by a position
at Numico in Poland. After joining Aurubis AG in 2006, Tim Kurth has held a
number of managerial positions including as Corporate Innovation Manager and
Vice President Corporate Logistics. He was appointed Managing Director
Aurubis Bulgaria in 2014. His responsibilities there include the
comprehensive further development of the successful site, which is now one
of the most important companies and employers in Bulgaria. Tim Kurth is
President of the German-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and has
an extensive understanding of metallurgical processes and Aurubis' operating
business.

'With Toralf Haag, we have succeeded in winning a proven industry expert
over to Aurubis who will lead the company with great strategic vision. He is
already very familiar with the company and its markets from his time Aurubis
COO,' Aurubis AG Supervisory Board Chairman Prof. Dr. Fritz Vahrenholt
commented on the appointment. 'Tim Kurth has done an exceptional job
advancing the Bulgarian site. His extensive experience makes him the ideal
candidate to take on responsibility for important segments of the Aurubis
smelter network. We are also very pleased to have been able to fill this
pivotal management role with an internal candidate. On behalf of the entire
Supervisory Board, I would like to wish Toralf Haag and Tim Kurth every
success in their new roles as they continue to implement the strategic
agenda. The Supervisory Board would like to thank Roland Harings for his
dedication and service to Aurubis over the past few years. He initiated and
realized important strategic directions during his tenure.'
