In order to facilitate the Agreement, only Agreed Nominees will be nominated for election at the Meeting.

In addition to the election of the Agreed Nominees, the Agreement includes customary standstill, voting support and other terms.

“Hudbay is pleased to have reached an Agreement with Waterton that is in the best interests of shareholders,” said Alan Hibben, Chair of Hudbay’s Board. “On behalf of the Board, we look forward to welcoming our new directors to the Board and thank our departing directors for their valuable service to the Company. We also thank shareholders for their continued support of Hudbay and firmly believe that the best is yet to come.”

Hudbay and Waterton have also agreed that, following the Meeting, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will initiate a process to identify a suitable successor to the Chair position. Mr. Hibben has agreed to continue to serve as Chair until a successor is appointed and will remain on the Board until the 2020 annual meeting of shareholders. A copy of the Agreement will be available under Hudbay’s profile on SEDAR.

“With the proxy contest behind us, we are pleased that Hudbay will now be able to focus solely on unlocking its significant potential,” said Isser Elishis, Chief Investment Officer of Waterton Global Resource Management, Inc. “We are confident that the refreshed Hudbay Board is well-positioned to add value and deliver long-term value for all shareholders.”
