2025 AGM INFORMATION
The Company's 2025 AGM will be held on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, at 10:00 a.m. (Pacific Time) at the offices of Bennett Jones LLP, located at Suite 2500 - 666 Burrard Street, Vancouver, British Columbia V6C 2X8.
As in prior years, the Company has adopted the notice and access model ("Notice and Access") under National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer for the delivery to shareholders of record as of March 31, 2025 (the "Record Date") of the Notice of Meeting, Management Information Circular, Form of Proxy or Voting Instruction Form (as applicable) and our audited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis for the year ended December 31, 2024 (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") in connection with the 2025 AGM.
Under Notice and Access, instead of receiving printed copies of the Meeting Materials, shareholders receive a Notice and Access notification containing details relating to the 2025 AGM such as the date, location and purpose, as well as information on how they can access the Meeting Materials electronically. Using the Notice and Access method allows us to deliver the Meeting Materials to our shareholders in a more environmentally friendly and sustainable way that helps reduce paper usage and our carbon footprint, and it reduces our printing and mailing costs. However, shareholders with existing instructions on their account to receive printed materials will receive a printed copy of the Meeting Materials, and any other shareholders who wish to receive a printed copy of the Meeting Materials may follow the instructions set out in the Notice and Access notification that they will receive.
The Company has retained Kingsdale Advisors to assist anyone who is a First Majestic shareholder as of the Record Date with voting their shares. Once you have received the Meeting Materials in the mail, if you need assistance with voting your First Majestic shares, please reach out to Kingsdale Advisors by telephone at 1-866-851-3214 (toll-free in North America) or 1-647-577-3635 (text and call enabled outside of North America), or by e-mail at contactus@kingsdaleadvisors.com.
