The Company intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds from the Offering for general corporate purposes, including strategic opportunities.

In accordance with the terms of the Existing Notes, First Majestic has provided notice that it will redeem all Existing Notes that are not converted or repurchased in conjunction with the Offering. The effective date of the redemption will be December 30, 2021.
