Insights
MAG shareholders overwhelmingly elected share consideration in Pan American acquisition; transaction closing September 4 with $500M cash component.
The preliminary election results for MAG Silver's acquisition by Pan American Silver reveal an interesting shareholder preference pattern. Only
These results have important implications for the final consideration distribution. The transaction structure includes a
With such a small percentage electing cash, the proration calculations will likely result in those few cash-electing shareholders receiving a higher proportion of their consideration in cash than initially expected. Meanwhile, the vast majority who elected (or defaulted to) shares will receive predominantly Pan American shares with a smaller cash component.
The transaction has cleared all regulatory hurdles including Mexican and Canadian competition approvals, court approval, and shareholder approval. With closing expected on September 4, 2025, MAG shareholders should prepare for the delisting of shares from both the Toronto Stock Exchange and NYSE American shortly thereafter.
This announcement represents the final procedural step before consummation of this significant transaction, which will fold MAG's 44% interest in the Juanicipio Mine and its exploration projects into Pan American's broader portfolio of precious metals assets.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG) (�MAG�, or the �Company�) announces today that the preliminary results of the elections made by MAG shareholders of record regarding the form of consideration they wish to receive in connection with the previously announced plan of arrangement (the �Arrangement�) whereby Pan American Silver Corp. (�Pan American�) will acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of the Company (�MAG Shares�).

All required key approvals and authorizations to consummate the Arrangement have been obtained, including Mexican competition approval, Canadian competition approval, the approval of MAG shareholders, the final order of the Supreme Court of British Columbia, and the conditional approval of the Toronto Stock Exchange and the New York Stock Exchange. The parties expect to close the Arrangement on or about September 4, 2025, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of customary closing conditions.
Pursuant to the arrangement agreement dated May 11, 2025, as amended on May 30, 2025 and June 6, 2025 between MAG and Pan American (the �Arrangement Agreement�), registered holders of MAG Shares were entitled to elect, prior to the Election Deadline, to receive either:

As previously disclosed, any holder of MAG Shares who failed to make a proper election in respect of their MAG Shares prior to the Election Deadline, or who chose not to make an election, will be deemed to have elected to receive, for each MAG Share held by such person, the Share Consideration, subject to proration. The Cash Consideration and the Share Consideration are each subject to proration provisions, such that the aggregate consideration paid to all MAG shareholders will consist of
Based on available information as of the Election Deadline, the preliminary results of the consideration election are as follows:
- MAG shareholders of record of approximately

30.55% of the outstanding MAG Shares elected to receive the Share Consideration; and - MAG shareholders of record of approximately
67.74% of the outstanding MAG Shares did not make a valid election or did not deliver a valid letter of transmittal and election form prior to the Election Deadline and accordingly were deemed to have elected to receive the Share Consideration,
in each case, subject to proration.
The foregoing results are preliminary only, and final certified results are not expected to be available until shortly before closing. After the final results of the election process are determined, the final allocation of the Consideration will be computed in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement.
