EXPLANATORY NOTE
On December 15, 2005, Agnico Eagle Mines Limited (the “Registrant”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Commission No. 333-130339) (the “Initial Registration Statement”) registering the offer and sale of (i) 6,877,775 shares of common stock, no par value (the “Common Shares”) of the Registrant that may be issued under the Agnico Eagle Mines Limited Amended and Restated Employee Stock Option Plan (the “Stock Option Plan”) and (ii) 1,153,260 Common Shares that may be issued under the Agnico Eagle Mines Limited Amended and Restated Incentive Share Purchase Plan (the “Share Purchase Plan”). On June 27, 2008, the Registrant filed with the Commission a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Commission No. 333-152004) (the “Subsequent Registration Statement” and, together with the Initial Registration Statement, the “Registration Statements”) registering the offer and sale of (i) additional 6,000,000 Common Shares that may be issued under the Stock Option Plan and (ii) 2,500,000 Common Shares that may be issued under the Share Purchase Plan. On August 19, 2008, the Registrant filed with the Commission a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Subsequent Registration Statement solely to add exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to the Subsequent Registration Statement.
On March 11, 2021, the board of directors of the Registrant approved the amendment of the Stock Option Plan to increase the number of Common Shares reserved for issuance by the Registrant under the Stock Option Plan by 3,000,000 Common Shares, so that the maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance by the Registrant under the Stock Option Plan is 38,700,000 Common Shares, of which 5,028,724 Common Shares remain available for issuance by the Registrant as of the filing date of this post-effective amendment to the Registration Statements (this “Amendment”). The Stock Option Plan, as so amended and restated (the “Amended Stock Option Plan”), was approved by the shareholders of the Registrant at the Registrant’s annual and special meeting of shareholders held on April 30, 2021. This Amendment is being filed by the Registrant for the purpose of updating exhibit 99.1 to the Initial Registration Statement and exhibit 4.1 to the Subsequent Registration Statement (as amended), in each case to reflect the Amended Stock Option Plan attached to this Amendment as exhibit 4.1. The Registrant is not registering additional Common Shares under this Amendment.
