NOTICE AND ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS
ANNUAL GENERAL AND SPECIAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO BE HELD ON
TUESDAY, JUNE 13, 2017
You are receiving this notification as Primero Mining 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 Tuesday, June 13, 2017 (the “Meeting”). Under notice and access, instead of receiving paper copies of the Company’s management information circular for the year ended December 31, 2016 (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 (“VIF”), as applicable, enabling them to vote at the Meeting. This communication presents only an overview of the more complete proxy materials that are available to you on the internet. The use of this alternative delivery is more cost efficient and environmentally friendly as it will reduce paper use and mailing costs.
