Amsterdam, 17 March 2017 (Regulated Information) --- The Supervisory Board of
AMG Advanced Metallurgical Group N.V. ("AMG", EURONEXT AMSTERDAM: "AMG")
resolved during its meeting on March 17, 2017 to make the following changes to
its composition.
At the Annual Meeting on May 4, 2017 in Amsterdam, the Supervisory Board will
nominate for appointment by the General Meeting of Shareholders, Mrs. Suzanne
Rich Folsom and Mr. Willem van Hassel as new (independent) Supervisory Board
members. Mrs. Folsom is a United States citizen and currently serves as the
General Counsel, Chief Compliance Officer and SVP-Government Affairs, and is a
member of the Executive Team, at the United States Steel Corporation. Mr. van
Hassel is a Dutch citizen, senior lawyer and Dutch corporate governance expert.

Mr. van Hassel can be found on AMG's website as of March 23, 2017, when AMG will
publish the Agenda of its Annual Meeting to be held on May 4, 2017 in Amsterdam.
Mr. Martin Hoyos, who has been a Supervisory Board member since 2009, and
chaired the Audit Committee since 2013, has requested to step down at the end of
his term in May 2017 in view of other priorities and is not available for re-
appointment. The Supervisory Board wishes to thank Mr. Hoyos for his dedication
and services and his leadership of the Audit Committee during the past four
years, and wishes him well in his future endeavors.
Furthermore, Mr. Petteri Soininen has requested to step down after having served
on the Supervisory Board since 2015. Mr. Soininen joined the Supervisory Board
in 2015 as non-independent nominee of AMG's largest shareholder, RWC European
Focus Master Inc. (RWC), after RWC had entered into a Relationship Agreement
with AMG. The Relationship Agreement comes to an end after the General Meeting
of Shareholders on May 4, 2017 and Mr. Soininen wishes to retire as a member of
the Supervisory Board on that date. The Supervisory Board wishes to thank Mr.
Soininen for his dedication and services and wishes him well in his future
endeavors.
During the period that Messrs. Hoyos and Soininen were members of the
Supervisory Board, AMG has made important strategic decisions which have been
positively reflected in AMG's share price. The Supervisory Board is grateful for
the services of Messrs. Hoyos and Soininen as members of the Supervisory Board
and wishes to thank them for their valuable insights and contributions.
