Hudbay Receives TSX Approval for Normal Course Issuer Bid
Toronto, Ontario, May 28, 20 25 – Hudbay Minerals Inc. (“Hudbay” or the “company”) ( TSX, NYSE: HBM),
announced today that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) has approved its notice of intention to commence a
normal course issuer bid (“NCIB”) for its common shares (“Shares”). The NCIB will be made in accordance with the
requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange and applicable securities laws.
Pursuant to the NCIB, Hudbay is authorized to acquire up to a maximum of 19,751,983 Shares, representing 5% of its
issued and outstanding Shares as of May 22, 2025, for cancellation over a 12 -month period. The actual number of
Shares which may be purchased by Hudbay pursuant to the NCIB and the timing of such purchases will be determined
by management of the Company and remains subject to a number of factors, including market conditions, share price,
available cash resources and other opportunities to invest capital for growth.
Purchases will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, NYSE, and/or other alternative Canadian
trading systems and in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements at a price per Share equal to the market at
the time of acquisition.
The number of Shares that can be purchased pursuant to the NCIB is subject to a daily maximum of 425,832 Shares
(which is equal to 25% of 1,703,331 Shares, being the average daily trading volume of the Shares on the TSX during
the six months ended April 30, 2025), in each case subject to Hudbay’s ability to make one block purchase of Shares
per calendar week that exceeds such limits.
Hudbay may begin to purchase Shares on or about May 30, 2025 and the NCIB will terminate on May 29, 2026 or such
earlier time as Hudbay completes its purchases pursuant to the NCIB or provides notice of termination. Any Shares
purchased under the NCIB will be cancelled upon their purchase. Hudbay intends to fund such purchases using its
cash and cash equivalents together with cash flow from operations.
Hudbay did not have a NCIB in place during the 12-month period preceding the date hereof, and accordingly, no Shares
were repurchased or cancelled during that period.
Hudbay has elected to implement the NCIB because it believes that, from time to time, the market price of the Shares
may not fully reflect the underlying value of Hudbay’s business and future prospects. Hudbay believes that, at such
times, the repurchase of the Shares for cancellation may constitute a desirable use of capital and would be in the best
interests of shareholders.
