To Our Stockholders:
This Notice of Change of Location (the “Notice”) provides updated information with respect to the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Verso Corporation. On June 29, 2020, we commenced distribution to our stockholders of our proxy materials for the Annual Meeting, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission that same day. This Notice should be read in conjunction with those proxy materials.
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the location of the Annual Meeting has been changed. In light of the public health impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to protect the health and well-being of its employees, stockholders and the broader community, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically. As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on August 5, 2020, beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern Time). The virtual meeting can be accessed at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VRS2020. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person.
As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, attendance at the Annual Meeting is open to holders of our Class A common stock of record at the close of business on June 17, 2020 and guests. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VRS2020, you must enter the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card or voting instruction form you previously received. Those without a 16-digit control number may attend the Annual Meeting as guests, but will not be entitled to ask questions or vote. We encourage you to access the Annual Meeting 15 minutes in advance of the designated start time to allow time for you to log-in and test your device’s audio system. Information regarding matters addressing technical and logistical issues, including technical support during the Annual Meeting, will be available at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/VRS2020.
You may ask questions and vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website. Questions must relate to the proposals being considered at the Annual Meeting.

Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, you are encouraged to vote in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. The proxy card or voting instruction form included with the proxy materials you previously received will not be updated to reflect the change in meeting location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.
Your vote is important, regardless of the number of shares you own. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting we hope you will take the time to vote your shares. If your shares are held in “street name,” meaning they are held by a bank, broker or other nominee, you will have received instructions from the holder of record that you must follow for your shares to be voted at the Annual Meeting. Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy using one of methods described in the proxy materials. You can change your vote at the Annual Meeting if you choose to do so.
On July 21, 2020, we issued a press release announcing that due to the public health impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and to protect the health and well-being of its employees, stockholders and the broader community, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only, via live audio webcast.
