Letter to Our Shareholders

DEAR HOWMET AEROSPACE SHAREHOLDERS:

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Howmet Aerospace Inc., which will be held virtually via live webcast on Wednesday, May 28, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

We believe hosting a virtual Annual Meeting enables greater shareholder attendance and participation from any location around the world, improves meeting efficiency and our ability to communicate effectively with our shareholders, and reduces the cost and environmental impact of the Annual Meeting.

We are pleased to present you with our 2025 Proxy Statement, which represents our continuing commitment to transparency, good governance and performance-based executive compensation, and reflects the input we have received during dialogue with our investors. We encourage you to read the Proxy Statement carefully and vote your shares in accordance with the instructions included herein.

We also encourage you to review our 2024 Annual Report for more information on the Company’s performance. We are proud of our progress and achievements in 2024 and are encouraged by the opportunities 2025 presents.

Your vote is very important to us. Whether or not you will attend and participate in the Annual Meeting, we hope that your shares are represented and voted.

Thank you for being a shareholder of Howmet Aerospace. On behalf of the Board of Directors and employees of the Company, we appreciate your continued support.
