      2022 H1 Distribution - determination of currency amounts

Glencore confirms that:
 1.   as approved by shareholders at yesterday’s AGM, it will make a return of capital on
      20 May 2022 to holders of record on the Jersey register at the close of business on
      22 April 2022.

 2.   this repayment is of US$0.13 per ordinary share and is to be made in US dollars, although
      shareholders on the Jersey register who have opted for a different currency by 25 April 2022
      will receive their distribution payments in either Pounds Sterling, Euros or Swiss Francs.
      Shareholders who formerly held shares through the Computershare Hong Kong nominee
      will receive distribution payments in US dollars unless they elected to receive payments in
      either Swiss francs, Sterling or Euros, or subscribed to the global payment service to elect to
      receive payments in the currency of their choosing (including Hong Kong Dollars), by 25
      April 2022.
      Elections will remain in place until revoked by the shareholder.

 3.   the Pound Sterling, Euro and Swiss Franc amounts payable are determined by reference to
      the closing mid exchange rates applicable to the US dollar on 28 April 2022.

The following rates were published in the Financial Times guide to world currencies today:
 GBP/USD              EUR/USD                USD/CHF
 1.2440               1.0516                 0.9716

Accordingly, for non-US dollar payments the amount payable per share on 20 May 2022 will be
approximately:
 Pounds Sterling      Euros                  Swiss Francs
 0.104502             0.123621               0.126308

An announcement was made in South Africa on 19 April 2022 regarding the determination of the
South African Rand amount payable in respect of shares on the Johannesburg register.

The distributions for 2022 are deemed “qualified dividends” for US Federal income tax purposes.
Distributions paid by the Company constitute “qualified dividends” because the Company is a
“qualified foreign corporation” for US Federal income tax purposes.
