YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT - PLEASE VOTE TODAY

Alexco encourages shareholders to read the meeting materials, which have been filed on SEDAR (www.sedar.com) and are available on our website at www.alexcoresource.com/investors/annual-general-meeting/.

Meeting Matters

Shareholders will be asked to vote on the following:

  1. To receive and consider the report of the directors and the consolidated financial statements together with the auditors' report thereon for the year ended December 31, 2019;
  2. To fix the number of directors at seven;
  3. To elect directors for the ensuing year;

  5. To approve and ratify the grant of certain equity-based incentive awards in 2019 to the independent directors.
