    SHERRITT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION 2011 Summary Sustainability Report ABOUT SHERRITT INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION Sherritt is a world leader in the mining and refining of nickel from lateritic ores with projects and operations in Canada, Cuba, Indonesia and Madagascar. The Corporation is the largest coal producer in Canada and is the largest independent energy producer in Cuba, with extensive oil and power operations across the island. Sherritt licenses its proprietary technologies and provides metallurgical services to mining and refining operations worldwide. The Corporation’s common shares are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange under the symbol “S”. About This Report In this, our fourth report, we provide a snapshot of how we are managing a range of sustainability issues such as health and safety, training, biodiversity and reclamation, stakeholder engagement, and community investment – and discuss why they are important to our business and relevant to our stakeholders. We feature case studies and examples from our divisions – Metals, Coal, Oil and Gas, and Power – and Technologies, to demonstrate the progress Sherritt made in 2011 toward improving our performance and achieving our sustainability vision. Unlike the 2010 report, which provided significant detail on a wide range of topics, the 2011 edition is a summary of our efforts for the year. A comprehensive review of our performance data is available on www.sherritt.com. This change in format reflects our intent to move away from producing detailed linear reports on paper, and toward developing a dynamic web-based reporting platform. In addition, we have recast this year’s edition as a “sustainability” report – rather than a “corporate social responsibility” report – to reflect environmental and technical considerations, and the long-term focus of our efforts.

  • FINANCIAL RESULTS Sherritt International Corporation Sherritt’S Strongest Balance Sheet in More Than a Decade
    2020 FINANCIAL RESULTS Sherritt International Corporation Sherritt’s strongest balance sheet in more than a decade 2020 was a difficult year for the mining industry, with volatile commodity prices, the global pandemic and, for Sherritt, a tumultuous Cuba-U.S. relationship. Through it all, Sherritt remained steadfastly focused on protecting employees, suppliers and other stakeholders from COVID-19, maintaining collections on Cuban energy overdue receivables, and preserving liquidity. 2020 was a transformative year for Sherritt, foremost, it completed its balance sheet initiative which reduced its outstanding debt by approximately $301 million, extended the maturities of its note obligations to 2026 and 2029, reduced annual interest payments by more than $15 million, and terminated its debt obligations relating to the Ambatovy Joint Venture and its cross-default risk of the Ambatovy shareholder agreement, all without any dilution of its common shares. Pre-transaction1 Post-transaction $145M $358M $221M $170M $198M $75M 0 0 2020 Nov. 2021 2022 Aug. 2023 2024 Nov. 2025 Nov. 2026 2029 Existing unsecured debentures Ambatovy Partner loans New second lien notes Junior Note (1) Face value of public debentures and principal amount and accrued interest of Ambatovy partner loans ($ millions) / Excluding the credit facility 2020 Operational Highlights Sherritt’s focus is nickel and cobalt, but we also have a long history of oil and power production in Cuba. Our continued focus on operational excellence and employee safety meant that COVID-19 had a limited impact on our production activities at each of our operations primarily as a result of a quick and sustained focus on additional health and safety measures implemented starting in March 2020 as the virus was spreading around the world.
