Meeting Instructions In order to facilitate engagement with shareholders, Barrick is pleased to host a virtual meeting format for this year’s 2025 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the Meeting) that shareholders may attend virtually by way of a live webcast regardless of their geographic location.
If you plan to attend the Meeting, you will need to follow the procedures outlined in the Digital Circular. Registered shareholders, non-registered (or beneficial) shareholders, and their duly appointed proxyholders will be able to participate, ask questions, and vote in “real time” through an online portal that may be accessed by following the instructions set out in the Digital Circular. Non-registered shareholders must carefully follow the procedures set out in the Digital Circular in order to vote virtually and ask questions through the online portal. Non-registered shareholders who do not follow the procedures set out in the Digital Circular will nonetheless be able to view a live webcast of the Meeting, but will not be able to ask questions or vote.
Non-GAAP Information Certain financial performance measures in this Digital Circular – namely EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBIT, Adjusted Net Earnings, Free Cash Flow, Total Cash Costs per ounce, All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce and All-In Costs per ounce – are not prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). These non-GAAP financial performance measures are included because management uses the information to analyze business performance and financial strength. These non-GAAP financial performance measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standardized definition under IFRS and may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. These non-GAAP financial performance measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS. Further details on these non-GAAP financial performance measures are provided in the Digital Circular and in the MD&A accompanying Barrick’s financial statements filed from time to time on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on EDGAR at www.sec.gov.
