Vancouver, British Columbia–(Newsfile Corp. – May 24, 2024) – First Majestic Silver Corp. (NYSE: AG) (TSX: FR) (FSE: FMV) (the “Company” or “First Majestic”) is pleased to announce the voting results for its Annual General Meeting of Shareholders held on Thursday, May 23, 2024 in Vancouver, British Columbia (the “2024 AGM”). Each of the matters that were voted upon at the 2024 AGM are described in detail in the Company’s Management Information Circular dated April 11, 2024 (the “Circular”), which is available at www.firstmajesticagm.com.

A total of 120,646,090 common shares of First Majestic were represented at the 2024 AGM, being 42% of the Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as at the record date. Shareholders voted in favour of all matters brought before the 2024 AGM, and the specific voting results were as follows:

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

* Jean des Rivières resigned as a director prior to the 2024 AGM and therefore did not stand for re-election, resulting in the election of five directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (as opposed to six directors, as was set out in the Circular).

APPOINTMENT OF AUDITOR

SAY-ON-PAY (non-binding advisory vote)

“We are pleased with the support received from our shareholders at the 2024 AGM,” stated Thomas F. Fudge, Jr., Chair of the Board. “Although our Say-on-Pay advisory resolution did not pass by a majority vote, we are encouraged with the increased level of support that it received, which was almost double compared to the support received for the Say-on-Pay vote at our 2023 AGM. This demonstrates that our shareholders have acknowledged the improvements that First Majestic has made in both the disclosure of its executive compensation practices, and in the Company’s approach to executive compensation. The Company remains committed in 2024 to continue engaging with our shareholders and addressing their concerns as we strive to further increase support levels for our executive compensation practices.“
