form, which can be found at https://tsxtrust.com/resource/en/75, will be able to listen to the live webcast of the Hudbay Meeting, but will not be able to ask questions or vote during the Hudbay Meeting. Hudbay believes that a virtual meeting gives all Hudbay Shareholders an equal opportunity to participate regardless of their geographic location or the particular constraints and circumstances that they face. Hudbay Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit their completed form of proxy (in the case of Registered Hudbay Shareholders) or voting instruction form (in the case of Non-Registered Hudbay Shareholders), or alternatively, to vote over the Internet or by other means, in each case, well in advance of the Hudbay Meeting and in accordance with the enclosed instructions so that as many Hudbay Shares as possible are represented at the Hudbay Meeting.
As a Hudbay Shareholder, it is important that you read this Notice of Special Meeting of Shareholders of Hudbay and accompanying Circular carefully and then vote your Hudbay Shares. Proxies to be used or acted upon at the Hudbay Meeting must be completed and deposited with Hudbay’s transfer agent, TSX Trust Company (“TSX Trust”), in accordance with the instructions thereon. To be effective, a duly completed proxy must be received by TSX Trust by 10:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on June 9, 2023 (or by 10:30 a.m. (Toronto time) on the day other than a Saturday, Sunday or statutory or civic holiday which is at least 48 hours prior to any adjourned or postponed Hudbay Meeting). Hudbay Shareholders may vote online, by telephone or by mail following the instructions found in the enclosed form of proxy or voting instruction form. Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the chair of the Hudbay Meeting in his or her discretion. The time limit for the deposit of proxies may be waived or extended by the chair of the Hudbay Meeting, at the chair’s discretion, with or without notice. The chair is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy. Non-Registered Hudbay Shareholders holding Hudbay Shares through an Intermediary may have an earlier deadline by which the intermediary or broker must receive voting instructions. Non-Registered Hudbay Shareholders that hold Hudbay Shares through an intermediary or broker and receive these materials through such intermediary or broker should complete and send the form of proxy or voting instruction form in accordance with the instructions provided by such intermediary or broker.
Hudbay Shareholders that have any questions or need additional information regarding the voting of their Hudbay Shares should consult their financial, legal, tax or other professional advisor.
If Hudbay Shareholders have any questions or need assistance voting, you can contact Kingsdale Advisors at 1-866-581-1571 (toll-free in North America) or 1-416-623-2514 (collect outside North America) or by email at contactus@kingsdaleadvisors.com. To keep current with and obtain information about voting your shares, please visit www.HudbayPOA.com.
Your vote is very important, regardless of the number of Hudbay Shares that you own. Whether or not you expect to attend the Hudbay Meeting, we encourage you to vote your form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, as promptly as possible to ensure that your vote will be counted at the Hudbay Meeting.
