IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR SHAREHOLDERS
ARRANGEMENTS FOR 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND CLASS
MEETINGS
THIS LETTER IS SUPPLEMENTARY TO, AND MUST BE READ IN CONJUNCTION
WITH, THE NOTICE OF AGM AND CLASS MEETINGS DATED 24 MARCH 2021
Dear Shareholder
Antofagasta plc's (the "Company's") Annual General Meeting (the
"AGM") is to be held at 2:00 pm on 12 May 2021 at the Company's
registered office: Cleveland House, 33 King Street, St James's,
London SW1Y 6RJ. Separate meetings of the ordinary shareholders and
preference shareholders (the "Class Meetings") will follow directly
after the AGM.
COVID-19 Restrictions
In light of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and the UK
Government's restrictions on public gatherings, we currently expect
shareholders will not be able to attend the AGM or Class Meetings
in person. Shareholders who attempt to attend in person should
expect to be refused entry.
The Company will ensure that the necessary quorum requirement is
satisfied, but we do not expect the Directors or members of the
Executive Committee to attend the meetings in person.
Remote Engagement
However, the Company is keen to ensure that shareholders have an
opportunity to engage in the AGM and Class Meetings to the maximum
extent possible. Accordingly, we will offer facilities for
shareholders to watch and listen to the AGM (and the relevant Class
Meeting(s)) via an audio and visual broadcast. The reverse side of
this page contains details on accessing that broadcast.
The Directors and members of the Executive Committee will appear
at the AGM by video-link and the Chairman and the CEO will each
make a presentation. Shareholders will be able to ask questions,
either in writing via the meeting website, or by telephone.
Voting
Unfortunately, due to constraints in the Company's articles of
association, shareholders are not able to vote at the AGM or Class
Meetings via the website.
That said, the Board is keen to ensure that all shareholders
exercise their right to vote and strongly recommends that you vote
on all resolutions by submitting an online proxy appointment form,
appointing the Chairman as your proxy, in accordance with paragraph
2 of the Important Notes to the Notice of AGM (set out on page 9),
as early as possible and, in any event, by no later than 2:00 pm on
10 May 2021. We also recommend that you vote on the resolutions at
the Class Meetings in the same way by submitting an online proxy
appointment form in relation to the relevant Class Meeting(s) no
later than 2:10 pm and 2:15 pm on 10 May 2021 for the Class
Meetings of the ordinary shareholders and preference shareholders
respectively. If you appoint a person other than the Chairman of
the meetings as your proxy, that person is expected to be refused
entry to the meetings and your votes will not be counted.
As you will see, the Company is proposing to adopt new articles
of association at the AGM to permit the Company to take advantage
of electronic voting at future meetings.
Next Steps
Shareholders should continue to monitor the Company's website
and announcements for any further updates regarding the AGM and the
Class Meetings.
The Board would like to thank all shareholders for their
understanding and we look forward to engaging with as many of you
as possible at the AGM.
