QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE PROXY MATERIALS, ANNUAL MEETING
AND VOTING
Why am I receiving these proxy materials?
The board, on behalf of Freeport-McMoRan Inc., is soliciting your proxy to vote at our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders because you owned shares of our common stock
at the close of business on April 15, 2019, the record date for the annual meeting, and, therefore, are entitled to vote at the annual meeting. This proxy statement, along with a proxy card or a voting instruction form and our 2018 annual
report, is being made available to our stockholders on or about April 25, 2019. We have made these materials available to you on the internet and, in some cases, we have delivered printed proxy materials to you. This proxy statement summarizes
the information that you need to know in order to cast your vote at the annual meeting. You do not need to attend the annual meeting in person to vote your shares of our common stock.
Why did I receive a notice of internet availability of proxy materials instead of a full set of proxy materials?
In accordance with the rules of the SEC, we are permitted to furnish proxy materials, including this proxy statement and our 2018 annual report, to stockholders by
providing access to these documents on the internet instead of mailing printed copies. Most stockholders will not receive printed copies of the proxy materials unless requested. Instead, the notice of internet availability of proxy materials
provides instructions on how to access and review the proxy materials on the internet. The notice also provides instructions on how to submit your proxy and voting instructions via the internet. If you would like to receive a printed or email copy
of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions provided in the notice to request the materials.
When and where will the annual
meeting be held?
Our 2019 annual meeting of stockholders will be held at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on Wednesday, June 12, 2019, at the Hotel du Pont
located at 42 West 11th Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19801. You can obtain directions to the Hotel du Pont online at the hotels website at

.
How can I attend the annual meeting in person?
If you plan to attend the annual meeting in person, please bring proper identification and, if your shares of our common stock are held in street name,
meaning a bank, broker, trustee or other nominee is the stockholder of record of your shares, please bring acceptable proof of ownership, which is either an account statement or a letter from your bank, broker, trustee or other nominee confirming
that you beneficially owned shares our common stock on the record date, April 15, 2019.
Who is soliciting my proxy?
The board, on behalf of Freeport-McMoRan Inc., is soliciting your proxy to vote your shares of our common stock on all matters scheduled to come before our 2019 annual
meeting of stockholders, whether or not you attend in person. By completing, dating, signing and returning the proxy card or voting instruction form, or by submitting your proxy and voting instructions via the internet or phone, you are authorizing
the proxy holders to vote your shares of our common stock at the annual meeting as you have instructed.
On what matters will I be voting?
How does the board recommend that I cast my vote?
At our 2019 annual meeting, you will be asked to: (1) elect five director nominees;
(2) ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for 2019; and (3) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers.
