Ternium Postpones Annual and Extraordinary General Meetings of Shareholders

LUXEMBOURG / ACCESSWIRE / April 7, 2020 / Ternium S.A. (NYSE:TX) announced today that in light of the current economic uncertainty originated by the COVID-19 pandemic, Ternium's board of directors has resolved to postpone the company's annual and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders, originally to be held in Luxembourg on April 27, 2020. The proxy materials issued by the company on March 20, 2020 for such general meetings are withdrawn and canceled for all purposes.

The company intends to convene its annual and extraordinary general meetings of shareholders to be held on June 5, 2020 and to issue new proxy materials on April 28, 2020. Ternium's board of directors will take this time to assess its liquidity needs and review its previously-announced annual dividend proposal for fiscal year 2019, which may be modified if deemed appropriate.

Ternium expects for the first quarter of 2020 to report shipments and operating results roughly in line with the guidance provided in its February 18, 2020 results press release, and to continue showing a strong financial position. Given the uncertainty surrounding the development of the COVID-19 pandemic and its implications, Ternium is not in a position to forecast at this time the effect that the pandemic may have on the industry nor its impact on Ternium's operating results, cash flows or financial condition beyond the first quarter of 2020.

"We have taken decisive measures to protect the health and safety of our employees, customers and suppliers, in addition to steps to ensure the continued strength of our business," said Máximo Vedoya, Chief Executive Officer of Ternium. "These are unsettling times and we are operating under different social and business restrictions in each of our markets, but we are confident that we have the operational flexibility, expertise and financial strength to navigate through them and return to growth once economic activity normalizes."
