NOTICE OF CHANGE OF LOCATION

April 2, 2020

Dear Shareholders of Ball Corporation:

Following the recommendations to limit large group gatherings from each of the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Public Health Orders issued by the Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Executive Order issued by the Governor of the State of Colorado mandating limits on the type and size of gatherings, and to support the health and well-being of our shareholders, employees and community due to the evolving impact of the coronavirus outbreak (“COVID-19”), NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that our Board of Directors has determined to transition the location of the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders of Ball Corporation (the “Company”) from in-person to virtual-only. At this time, we expect to resume holding in-person meetings in future years.

As previously announced, the Annual Meeting will be held on Wednesday, April 29, 2020 at 7:30 a.m., Mountain Time. In light of public health concerns regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, the Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting physically.

As described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting previously distributed, you are entitled to participate in the Annual Meeting if you were a shareholder as of the close of business on March 5, 2020, the record date, or hold a legal proxy for the meeting provided by your bank, broker, or nominee. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/BLL2020, you must enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice you previously received. You may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting. If you are attending the meeting as a shareholder or beneficial owner, written questions may be submitted online through the virtual meeting platform. We urge you to vote and submit your proxy in advance of the meeting by one of the methods described in the proxy materials for the Annual Meeting. The proxy card included with the proxy materials previously distributed will not be updated to reflect the change in location and may continue to be used to vote your shares in connection with the Annual Meeting.

The 2020 Annual Meeting will be held to tabulate the votes cast and to report the results on the items described in the Proxy Statement. No management presentations or other business matters are planned for the meeting.

By Order of the Board of Directors,

Charles E. Baker
