All amounts herein are reported in United States dollars (“US$”) unless otherwise specified
Vancouver, B.C. MAG Silver Corp. (TSX / NYSE American: MAG) (“MAG”, or the “Company”) announces that its Board of Directors (“Board”) has adopted a dividend policy for the Company under which the Company intends to pay quarterly fixed dividends of $0.02 per share. In addition, at average realised silver prices of above $20 per ounce, the Company intends to augment the fixed dividend with a cash flow linked dividend targeted at approximately 30% of cash flows from Juanicipio received by MAG every quarter and linked to net cash metrics as determined by the Board from time to time.
MAG declares an inaugural fixed dividend of $0.02 per share and an additional cash flow linked dividend of $0.16 per share (approximately 30% of the $53.85 million cash received from Juanicipio during Q4 2024) for a total dividend of $0.18 per share payable on April 21, 2025 to shareholders on record as of April 4, 2025 (the “Inaugural Dividend”). The dividend qualifies as an “eligible dividend” as defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada).
“The announcement of our dividend policy and inaugural dividend is a major milestone for MAG and validates our confidence in the overall strength and sustainability of our business,” said George Paspalas, President and CEO. “This inaugural dividend, with both fixed and cash flow linked components, demonstrates our dedication to delivering consistent value while sharing Juanicipio’s operational and financial success with our shareholders.”
The declaration, timing, amount, and payment of future dividends will be subject to the discretion and approval of the Board of Directors. The Company will review the dividend program on an ongoing basis and may amend it at any time depending on the Company’s then current financial position, capital allocation framework, profitability, cash flow, debt covenant compliance, legal requirements and other factors considered relevant. As such, aside from the Inaugural Dividend, no assurances can be made that any future dividends will be declared and/or paid. Dividends paid to shareholders outside Canada (non-resident investors) will be subject to Canadian non-resident withholding taxes.
