All amounts expressed in U.S. dollars unless otherwise indicated. The Board of Directors unanimously recommends Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution Attractive immediate premium and compelling transaction benefits For assistance with voting, contact Kingsdale Advisors by telephone at 1-800-775-1986 (toll-free in North America) or 1-416-623-2517 (text and call enabled outside North America), or by email at contactus@ VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG) ('MAG', or the 'Company') announces that the management information circular and related materials associated with the upcoming special meeting (the 'Special Meeting') of shareholders of the Company (the 'Shareholders') to be held on July 10, 2025 have been filed under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ and will be mailed to Shareholders on June 11, 2025. The Special Meeting is being held in connection with the proposed acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company (the 'MAG Shares') by Pan American Silver Corp. ('Pan American') previously announced on May 11, 2025 (the 'Arrangement'). On June 6, 2025, MAG obtained an interim order (the 'Interim Order') from the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the 'Court') authorizing the holding of the Special Meeting and matters relating to the conduct of the Special Meeting. At the Special Meeting, Shareholders will be asked to consider and, if deemed acceptable, pass a special resolution (the 'Arrangement Resolution') to approve the arrangement between the Company and Pan American under Section 288 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the 'Plan of Arrangement'), whereby Pan American will acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, with Shareholders receiving total consideration of approximately $2.1 billion representing $20.54 per MAG share, based on the closing price of Pan American's common shares on the New York Stock Exchange on May 9, 2025. Consideration will be comprised of a mix of cash totaling $500 million and common shares in the authorized share capital of Pan American (each, a 'Pan American Share') as detailed below. The Arrangement will be carried out pursuant to the terms of an arrangement agreement dated May 11, 2025 (as amended on May 30, 2025 and June 6, 2025) between the Company and Pan American (the 'Arrangement Agreement') and the terms of the Plan of Arrangement. Pursuant to the terms of the Interim Order, Shareholders of record at the close of business on June 2, 2025 (the 'Record Date') will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting, with each such Shareholder entitled to one vote per each MAG Share held. Shareholders are encouraged to vote well in advance of the proxy voting deadline of July 8, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. (Vancouver Time). The Board of Directors of the Company (the 'Board') unanimously recommends Shareholders vote FOR the Arrangement Resolution, in accordance with the instructions set out in the meeting materials. Each director and officer of the Company intends to vote all of such director's and/or officer's MAG Shares FOR the Arrangement Resolution. In making their recommendation, the Board considered a number of factors in deciding that the Arrangement was in the best interests of the Company, including, among others: Immediate value uplift of approximately 21% and 27%, respectively, on a prorated basis to the closing price and the 20-day VWAP of the MAG Shares on the NYSE American LLC ('NYSE American') ending May 9, 2025. The Shareholders have the option to receive either (a) $20.54 in cash for each MAG Share held or (b) $0.0001 in cash and 0.755 of a Pan American Share for each MAG Share held, subject to proration such that the aggregate consideration paid to all Shareholders consists of $500 million in cash and the remaining consideration paid in Pan American Shares. Exposure to Pan American's diversified portfolio of ten silver and gold mines across seven countries and a proven track record of success in exploration, project-development and mining operations. Enlarged growth pipeline with exposure to Pan American's La Colorada Skarn project in Mexico and the potential reopening of Pan American's 100%-owned Escobal mine, one of the world's best silver mines with past production of 20 Moz of silver per year. The Arrangement provides Shareholders with the opportunity to maintain exposure to the Juanicipio Mine, which continues to demonstrate strong operational performance and resource potential. Significantly de-risks Shareholders' exposure by converting a concentrated interest in the Juanicipio Mine into equity ownership of Pan American, a diversified, leading silver producer with meaningful, long-term upside. Equity participation in a well-capitalized, value driven, large-cap silver producer known for returning capital to shareholders, with over $1.0 billion returned to shareholders via dividends and share buybacks since 2010. Greater scale, lower risk and peer leading cash flows driving improved trading liquidity on U.S. and Canadian markets. Eligible Holders (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) who receive Pan American Shares may make a Section 85 Election (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) to obtain a full or partial tax deferred rollover for Canadian income tax purposes in respect of the sale of the Eligible Holder's MAG Shares to Pan American. The Company considered, and engaged with, other potential strategic partners and acquirors and determined that it was unlikely that any of those parties would complete a transaction on terms that were superior to the Arrangement, concluding that the transaction with Pan American was in the best interests of the Company. The fairness opinions from Raymond James Ltd., BMO Capital Markets and GenCap Mining Advisory Ltd. that, subject to and based on the considerations, assumptions and limitations described therein, the consideration to be received by the Shareholders pursuant to the Arrangement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the Shareholders. Pursuant to voting agreements, the directors and senior officers of the Company have agreed to vote all of their MAG Shares, including any MAG Shares issuable upon exercise or redemption of stock options of MAG and other convertible securities of MAG, in favour of the Arrangement. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, the Board will remain able to respond to any unsolicited bona fide written proposal that constitutes a 'Superior Proposal' under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, subject to a right to match and a break fee that are not expected to deter other potential interested buyers, if any. : The Arrangement Agreement is the result of a comprehensive negotiation process with Pan American that was undertaken by the Company and its legal and financial advisors with the oversight of the special committee of independent directors of the Board formed in respect of the Arrangement (the 'Special Committee'). : Pan American's obligation to complete the Arrangement is subject to a limited number of conditions that the Company believes are reasonable in the circumstances. The evaluation and negotiation process was supervised by the Special Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors and was advised by experienced and qualified financial and legal advisors. The Special Committee met regularly with financial and legal advisors. The Arrangement was unanimously recommended to the Board by the Special Committee. The Arrangement must be approved by not less than two-thirds (2/3) of the votes cast by Shareholders present in person or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting. The Arrangement must be approved by the Supreme Court of British Columbia, which will consider, among other things, the fairness and reasonableness of the Arrangement to Shareholders. The Arrangement requires clearance under the Competition Act (Canada) and clearance under Mexican anti-trust laws. The terms of the Plan of Arrangement provide that registered Shareholders as of the Record Date who oppose the Arrangement may, upon compliance with certain conditions, exercise dissent rights and, if ultimately successful, receive fair value for their MAG Shares. Under the terms of the Arrangement, Shareholders will be able to elect to receive the consideration as either (i) $20.54 in cash per MAG Share or (ii) 0.755 Pan American Shares per MAG Share, subject to proration such that the aggregate consideration paid to all Shareholders consists of $500 million in cash and the remaining consideration paid in Pan American Shares. Subject to obtaining approval from the Shareholders to the Arrangement Resolution at the Special Meeting, Court approval and certain regulatory approvals, including clearance under the Competition Act (Canada) and clearance under Mexican anti-trust laws, as well as the satisfaction or waiver of other conditions contained in the Arrangement Agreement, all as more particularly described in the management information circular of the Company, it is currently anticipated that the Arrangement will be completed in the second half of 2025. The meeting materials contain important additional information regarding the Arrangement, including the rights and entitlements of Shareholders thereunder and how Shareholders can attend and vote at the Special Meeting, and accordingly, should be carefully reviewed. The meeting materials will be mailed to all Shareholders of record as at the Record Date and are also available on the Company's website at and under the Company's profile on SEDAR+ at Shareholder Questions Shareholders who have questions or need assistance with voting their MAG Shares should contact Kingsdale Advisors by telephone at 1-800-775-1986 (toll-free in North America) or 1-416-623-2517 (text and call enabled outside North America), or by email at contactus@ About MAG Silver Corp.

F1 reveals 2026 schedule: Canadian GP to clash with Indy 500; Madrid debuts in September
Formula One has revealed its calendar for the 2026 season, featuring a record-tying 24 races, three visits to the United States and a new grand prix in Madrid in September. But F1 will also go head-to-head with the Indianapolis 500 next year after moving the Canadian Grand Prix to May 24, setting up a direct clash between the two races on Memorial Day weekend. Advertisement The 2026 calendar was revealed after the FIA's World Motor Sport Council approved the schedule during its latest meeting in Macau on Tuesday. F1 has taken steps in recent years to better regionalize its calendar, aiming to reduce its carbon footprint and meet its net-zero goal by 2030. The latest efforts include Canada's shift to late May from its traditional mid-June slot. It will take place three weeks after the Miami Grand Prix, pairing the first two North American races on the calendar. While the date change ensures the entire European leg of the season can run without leaving the continent between early June and mid-September, minimizing cross-Atlantic travel, it has created a clash with the Indy 500. This year's Indy 500 started at 12:45 p.m. ET, while this Sunday's Canadian Grand Prix will begin at 2 p.m. ET, creating a potential dilemma for racing fans. Traditionally, the Indy 500 has been held on the same day as the Monaco Grand Prix, but the different time zones have meant the F1 race typically finishes a couple of hours before the 500 goes green. As reported by The Athletic, the new F1 season will start once again in Australia, which moves forward by one week to March 8, heralding the debut of the overhauled car designs for 2026, the most significant in a generation. The first race in Madrid, as part of F1's new contract to race in the Spanish capital at the IFEMA complex, is scheduled for September 13 and will be the second of two races in Spain next season, subject to the circuit being signed off by Formula One's governing body, FIA. Barcelona is set to host the final grand prix under its existing contract on June 14. Unlike 2025, Japan is no longer part of a triple-header with Bahrain and Saudi Arabia; instead, it becomes a stand-alone race at the end of March. Advertisement The Dutch Grand Prix, which is set to drop from the calendar after 2026, is also not paired with any other races. This means the first triple-header does not occur until Rounds 19 and 21 of the season, which include races in the United States (Austin, Texas), Mexico and Brazil. This will, however, be followed by a second triple-header to close out the season, setting up a run of six races in the space of seven weeks to the final checkered flag in Abu Dhabi on December 6. The fourth running of the Las Vegas Grand Prix is scheduled for November 21, retaining its Saturday slot, although a new contract has yet to be formally announced beyond this year. As anticipated, the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix at Imola will not appear on the calendar after the expiration of its contract, being effectively replaced by the Madrid race.
