Gil Clausen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Copper Mountain echoed this sentiment saying, “We are pleased with the strong endorsement by the company's shareholders indicating widespread support for the future of the combined company.”

Transaction Highlights

The combination of Hudbay and Copper Mountain is on-strategy with strong industrial logic that will offer both sets of shareholders compelling benefits, as highlighted below:

• Scale – A larger-scale platform with three long-life operating mines with exploration and expansion upside, three large-scale development projects and one of the largest mineral resource bases among intermediate copper producers;
• Diversification – A geographically balanced portfolio in tier-one mining jurisdictions with approximately 55% of net asset valuei (“NAV”) estimated to be from North American assets and 45% of NAV estimated to be from South American assets;
• Copper-Focused – A copper-focused portfolio with expected 2023 copper production of more than 150,000 tonnes in the second quartile position on the copper cost curveii, complemented by meaningful gold production;
• Efficiencies – An estimated US$30 millioniii per year of operating efficiencies and corporate synergies, including approximately US$20 million per year from operating cost reductions through the application of Hudbay’s operating efficiency practices to the Copper Mountain mine;
• Deleveraging – Well-positioned for accelerated deleveraging in the near-term from increased diversification of cash flows and enhanced exposure to rising copper prices;
• Capital Allocation – An ability to maximize value from a larger organic growth pipeline by more efficiently allocating capital to projects that yield the highest risk-adjusted returns; the combined company’s greater cash flow generation and strong balance sheet will enhance the ability to advance brownfield expansion opportunities and prudently develop Hudbay’s Copper World project in Arizona, which will deliver meaningful growth to the combined company; and
• Valuation Re-rating Potential – The strategic and financial benefits from the Transaction ultimately position the combined company for a valuation re-rating.

Transaction Effective Date

In addition to shareholder approvals received, the Transaction is subject to final court approval and the satisfaction of certain other customary closing conditions for transactions of this nature.
