DIVIDEND DECLARATION
WHEATON PRECIOUS METALS DECLARES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND
Vancouver, British Columbia – Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. (“Wheaton” or the
“Company”) is pleased to announce that its Board of Directors has declared its first quarterly
cash dividend payment for 2022 of US$0.15 per common share.
First Quarterly Dividend
The first quarterly cash dividend for 2022 of US$0.15 will be paid to holders of record of
Wheaton Precious Metals common shares as of the close of business on March 24, 2022 and
will be distributed on or about April 7, 2022.
Under the Company’s dividend policy, the quarterly dividend per common share is targeted to
equal approximately 30% of the average cash generated by operating activities in the previous
four quarters divided by the Company’s then outstanding common shares, all rounded to the
nearest cent. To minimize volatility in quar terly dividends, the Company has set a minimum
quarterly dividend for the duration of 2022 equal to the dividend per common share declared
in the prior quarter.
The declaration, timing, amount and payment of future divi dends remain at the discretion of
the Board of Directors. This dividend qualifies as an ‘eligible dividend’ for Canadian income
tax purposes.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Participation in the DRIP is optional. For the purposes of this first quarterly dividend, the
Company has elected to issue common shares under the DRIP through treasury at a 1%
discount to the Average Market Price, as defined in the DRIP. However, the Company may,
from time to time, in its discretion, change or eliminate the discount applicable to Treasury
Acquisitions, as defined in the DRIP, or direct that such common shares be purchased in
Market Acquisitions, as defined in the DRIP , at the prevailing market price, any of which
would be publicly announced.
The DRIP and enrollment forms, including direct deposit, are available for download on the
Company’s website at www.wheatonpm.com, in the ‘investors’ section under the ‘dividends’
tab.
Registered shareholders may also enroll in the DRIP online through the plan agent’s self-
