On April 22, 2021, Century Aluminum Company (the "Company") filed a proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to its 2021 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2021 Meeting") with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subsequent to that date, on May 17, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Jesse Gary, currently the Company’s Executive Vice President, Chief Operating Officer and General Counsel, as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of July 1, 2021. Mr. Gary has also been appointed to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective as of the same date. Mr. Gary, age 41, will succeed Michael Bless, who will step down as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective June 30, 2021, but will remain with the Company through early 2022 to support the leadership transition. Mr. Bless will also resign as a member of the Board effective June 30, 2021. You are not being asked to vote for or ratify the appointment of Mr. Gary at the upcoming 2021 Meeting.
