Pan American Declares Dividend with Respect to the First Quarter of 2023

Vancouver, B.C. – March 24 , 2023 – Pan American Silver Corp. (NASDAQ: PAAS) (TSX: PAAS) («Pan American«) and Yamana Gold Inc. (TSX: YRI; NYSE: AUY; LSE: AUY) («Yamana«) are pleased to provide an update on the status of Pan American’s proposed acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Yamana, following the sale by Yamana of its Canadian assets, including certain subsidiaries and partnerships which hold Yamana’s interests in the Canadian Malartic mine, to Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, all by way of a plan of arrangement (the «Arrangement«) under the Canada Business Corporations Act.

On March 23, 2023, the Mexican Federal Economic Competition Commission approved the Arrangement. All required regulatory, shareholder and court approvals, including the final court order, have now been received and the Arrangement is anticipated to be completed on or about March 31, 2023.

In addition, Pan American has declared a cash dividend of $0.10 per common share, payable on or about May 12, 2023, to holders of record of Pan American’s common shares as of the close of markets on April 14, 2023. The dividends are eligible dividends for Canadian income tax purposes.

Pan American has selected this record and payment date to harmonize its dividend with respect to the first quarter of 2023 with Yamana’s normal course dividend timing for payment of a first quarter dividend. Subsequent dividends to be declared by Pan American are expected to follow Pan American’s previous schedule of dividend payments.
