MANAGEMENT UPDATE
The Company announces today that Raymond Polman, Chief Financial Officer, has communicated his plans to
retire after 15 successful years with the Company. Mr. Polman will remain in his current position until a
replacement has been transitioned into the role. It is expected that a new CFO will be announced by the end of
the third quarter.
Keith Neumeyer, President and CEO, states, “Ray has been an important member of First Majestic for the past
15 years and his financial leadership has assisted in building First Majestic into the world‐class silver company it
is today. I’m grateful for his contributions to the business and wish him all the best in his retirement. In addition,
I would like to thank Robert McCallum for his long‐standing directorship to First Majestic. Rob has been with the
Company since inception and his contributions have enabled First Majestic to grow into one of the world’s
largest silver companies. Both Ray and Robert will be greatly missed, however, both will be available for advisory
roles over the next 12 months.”
Additionally, the Company is pleased to announce the appointments of Michael Deal as its General Manager of
the Jerritt Canyon Gold Mine and Edward Kirwan as Director of Environment. Mr. Deal has over 17 years of
mining and mineral processing experience and was most recently Processing Manager and Regional Metallurgist
for Nevada Gold Mines, a joint venture between Barrick Gold and Newmont. Mr. Kirwan has over 34 years of
environmental, sustainability and project management experience in the mining industry and most recently held
environmental positions at Tahoe Resources, Silver Standard Resources and KHGM. Also, effective today, Greg
Kulla has resigned from the Company as Vice‐President of Exploration and a search for his replacement has
begun.
RENEWS ATM PROGRAM
The Company announces it has today entered into an equity distribution agreement (the “Sales Agreement”)
with BMO Capital Markets and TD Securities (the “Agents”) pursuant to which the Company may, at its discretion
and from time‐to‐time until June 18, 2023, sell, through the Agents, such number of common shares of the
Company (“Common Shares”) as would result in aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of up to US$100.0
million (the “Offering”). Sales of Common Shares will be made through “at‐the‐market distributions” as defined
in the Canadian Securities Administrators’ National Instrument 44‐102‐Shelf Distributions, including sales made
directly on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), or any other recognized marketplace upon which the
Common Shares are listed or quoted or where the Common Shares are traded in the United States. The sales, if
any, of Common Shares made under the Sales Agreement will be made by means of ordinary brokers’
transactions on the NYSE at market prices, or as otherwise agreed upon by the Company and the Agents. No
offers or sales of Common Shares will be made in Canada on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) or other
trading markets in Canada.
The Offering will be made by way of a prospectus supplement to the base prospectus included in the Company’s
existing US registration statement on Form F‐10 (the “Registration Statement”) and Canadian short form base
shelf prospectus (the “Base Shelf Prospectus”) dated May 18, 2021. The prospectus supplement relating to the
Offering has been filed with the securities commissions in each of the provinces of Canada (other than Québec)
and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). The US prospectus supplement (together
with the related base prospectus) will be available on the SEC's website (www.sec.gov) and the Canadian
prospectus supplement (together with the related Base Shelf Prospectus) will be available on the SEDAR website
maintained by the Canadian Securities Administrators at www.sedar.com. Alternatively, the Agents will provide
copies of the US prospectus and US prospectus supplement upon request by contacting BMO Capital Markets
(c/o BMO Capital Markets Corp., Attention: Equity Syndicate Department, 3 Times Square, New York, NY 10036,
or by telephone at (800) 414‐3627, or by email: [email protected]).
The Company expects to use the net proceeds of the Offering, if any, together with the Company’s current cash
resources, to develop and/or improve the Company's existing mines and to add to the Company's working
capital.
This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor will
