17.03.2020  |  GlobeNewswire

TORONTO, March 16, 2020 - HudBay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “Company”) (TSX, NYSE: HBM) and Waterton Global Resource Management, Inc. (“Waterton”), today announced they have agreed to amend certain of the standstill provisions of the settlement agreement dated May 3, 2019 that resulted in the nomination of new directors independent of Waterton and, at the time, the Company. The parties have agreed to increase the number of Company shares that may be acquired by Waterton from 15.0% to up to 19.99% during the standstill period. The parties also have agreed to amend certain provisions of the standstill and to extend the standstill period for six months if Waterton acquires beneficial ownership in excess of 16% of the Company’s shares prior to the original termination date, with an automatic extension of a further six months if Waterton’s beneficial ownership interest exceeds 17.5% of the Company’s shares prior to the expiry of such initial six-month extension period.

“We are pleased to have amended these terms of our agreement with Waterton, which further demonstrates their support for Hudbay as a leading independent shareholder,” said Stephen Lang, Hudbay’s Chair of the Board of Directors.

A copy of the amending agreement will be available under Hudbay’s profile on SEDAR.
