Exhibit 99.1
NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
ANNUAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON MAY 14, 2020
You are receiving this notification as Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (the “Company”) uses the notice and access model for the delivery of its information circular to its shareholders in respect of its annual and special meeting of shareholders to be held on May 14, 2020 (the “Meeting”). Under notice and access, instead of receiving paper copies of the Company’s management information circular for the year ended December 31, 2019 (the “Information Circular”), shareholders are receiving this notice with information on how they may access the Information Circular electronically. However, together with this notification, shareholders continue to receive a proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable, enabling them to vote at the Meeting. The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it will help reduce paper use and the Company’s carbon footprint and it should also reduce the Company’s printing and mailing costs.
All Shareholders are encouraged to review the Notice of 2020 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders and Information Circular for important information concerning COVID-19 and the Meeting.
