Hudbay has also filed a registration statement on Form F-10 with the SEC relating to the common shares and warrants it proposes to issue to Augusta shareholders in connection with the Offer that includes the Offer and Circular as a prospectus, and also has filed all other tender offer documents required under applicable Canadian and United States securities regulations.
