As previously announced, on November 2, 2025, Coeur Mining, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Coeur”), New Gold Inc., a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada (“New Gold”),
and 1561611 B.C. LTD., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, Canada and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur (“Canadian Sub”), agreed to a strategic business combination transaction pursuant
to a plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “Arrangement”).
Supplemental Disclosures
On December 22, 2025, Coeur filed a definitive proxy statement on Schedule DEFM14A, as such may be supplemented from time to time (the “Definitive Proxy Statement”), with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) with respect to the special meeting of Coeur’s stockholders to vote to approve an amendment to the Coeur Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, and the issuance of shares of Coeur Common Stock to New
Gold shareholders in connection with the Arrangement (together, the “Proposals”) scheduled to be held on January 27, 2026 (the “Special Meeting”).
Explanatory Note
In connection with the Arrangement, two complaints have been filed as individual actions in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York and are captioned Ryan Carroll v. Coeur Mining, Inc., et al. (filed January 6, 2026) (the “Carroll Complaint”) and Anthony Malone v. Coeur Mining, Inc., et al. (filed January 8,
2026), respectively (the “Malone Complaint” and, together with the Carroll Complaint, the “Complaints”).
The Complaints generally allege that the Definitive Proxy Statement misrepresents and/or omits certain purportedly material information. The Complaints seek, among other things, an injunction
enjoining the consummation of the Arrangement unless and until certain additional information is disclosed, actual and punitive damages, fees and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ and experts’ fees and expenses, and other relief the
court may deem just and proper.
Additionally, Coeur has received demand letters from certain purported stockholders of Coeur seeking additional disclosures in the Definitive Proxy Statement (collectively, the “Demand
Letters”).
Coeur believes the claims asserted in the Complaints and Demand Letters are without merit but cannot predict the outcome of any such claims. Additional lawsuits and demand letters arising out
of the Arrangement may also be filed or received in the future. If additional similar lawsuits and demand letters are filed or received, absent new or significantly different allegations, the Company will not necessarily disclose such
additional lawsuits or demand letters.
While Coeur believes that the disclosures set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement comply fully with all applicable laws and denies the allegations in the Complaints and Demand Letters, in
order to moot the disclosure claims in the Complaints and Demand Letters, and avoid nuisance and possible expense and business delays, Coeur has determined voluntarily to supplement certain disclosures in the Definitive Proxy Statement with
the supplemental disclosures set forth below (the “Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in the Supplemental Disclosures shall be deemed an admission of the legal merit, necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the disclosures
set forth herein. To the contrary, Coeur specifically denies all allegations in the Complaints and Demand Letters that any additional disclosure was or is required or material.
All page references used herein refer to pages in the Definitive Proxy Statement before any additions or deletions resulting from the Supplemental Disclosures, and capitalized terms used
below, unless otherwise defined, have the meanings set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement. Underlined and bolded text shows text being added to a referenced disclosure in the Definitive Proxy Statement. This Current Report on Form 8-K
is incorporated into, and amends and/or supplements, the Definitive Proxy Statement as provided herein. Except as specifically noted herein, the information set forth in the Definitive Proxy Statement remains unchanged.

No Offer or Solicitation
This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to subscribe for or buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval with respect to the arrangement of New Gold
Inc. under the provisions of Part 9, Division 5 of the BCBCA, as further set out in the Arrangement Agreement, dated November 2, 2025, by and among Coeur, New Gold, and Canadian Sub, or otherwise, nor shall there be any sale, issuance or
transfer of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
Important Additional Information
In connection with the Arrangement, Coeur filed and mailed the Definitive Proxy Statement with the SEC in connection with the solicitation of proxies to obtain the Approvals and New Gold filed a notice of the
meeting of New Gold shareholders and accompanying management information circular (the “Circular”) on SEDAR+ and with the SEC in connection with the solicitation of proxies to obtain New Gold shareholder approval of the Arrangement. This
communication is not a substitute for the Definitive Proxy Statement, the Circular or for any other document that Coeur or New Gold may file with the SEC or on SEDAR+ and/or send to Coeur stockholders and/or New Gold’s shareholders in
connection with the Arrangement. INVESTORS AND SHAREHOLDERS OF COEUR AND NEW GOLD ARE URGED TO CAREFULLY AND THOROUGHLY READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND THE CIRCULAR, RESPECTIVELY, AS EACH MAY BE AMENDED OR SUPPLEMENTED FROM TIME TO TIME, AND
OTHER RELEVANT DOCUMENTS FILED BY COEUR AND/OR NEW GOLD WITH THE SEC OR ON SEDAR+, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT COEUR, NEW GOLD, THE ARRANGEMENT, THE RISKS RELATED THERETO AND RELATED
MATTERS.
Stockholders of Coeur and shareholders of New Gold are able to obtain free copies of the Proxy Statement and the Circular, as each may be amended from time to time, and other relevant documents filed by Coeur
and/or New Gold with the SEC or on SEDAR+ through the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov or on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, as applicable. Copies of documents filed with the SEC by Coeur will be available free of charge from
Coeur’s website at www.coeur.com under the “Investors” tab or by contacting Coeur’s Investor Relations Department at (312) 489-5800 or [email protected]. Copies of documents filed with the SEC or on SEDAR+ by New Gold will be available
free of charge from New Gold’s website at www.newgold.com under the “Investors” tab or by contacting New Gold’s Investor Relations Department at (416) 324-6015.
Cautionary Note to U.S. Investors
Coeur’s public disclosures are governed by the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, including Regulation S-K 1300 thereunder, whereas New Gold discloses estimates of “measured,” “indicated,” and
“inferred” mineral resources as such terms are used in Canada’s National Instrument 43-101 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”). Although S-K 1300 and NI 43-101 have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate
level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, they at times embody different approaches or definitions. Consequently, investors are cautioned that public disclosures by New Gold prepared in accordance with NI 43-101 may not be
comparable to similar information made public by companies, including Coeur, subject to S-K 1300 and the other reporting and disclosure requirements under the U.S. federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. The
scientific and technical information concerning Coeur’s mineral projects in this communication have been reviewed and approved by a “qualified person” under Item 1300 of SEC Regulation S-K, namely, Coeur’s Vice President, Technical
Services, Christopher Pascoe.
Participants in the Solicitation
Coeur, New Gold and their respective directors and certain of their executive officers and other members of management and employees may be deemed, under SEC rules, to be participants in the solicitation of
proxies from Coeur’s stockholders and New Gold’s shareholders in connection with the Arrangement. Information regarding the executive officers and directors of Coeur is included in its definitive proxy statement for its 2025 annual meeting
under the headings “Proposal No. 1 – Election of Directors”, “Information about our Executive Officers”, “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, and “Director Compensation”, which was filed with the SEC on April 2, 2025 and is available at
https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0000215466/000114036125011870/ny20041389x1_def14a.htm. Information regarding the directors and certain executive officers of New Gold is included in its management information circular for its
2025 annual meeting under the headings “Business of the Meeting – 3. Election of Directors”, “Compensation Discussion and Analysis”, “Statement of Director Compensation”, and “Corporate Governance Practices”, which is dated March 21, 2025
and is available under New Gold’s profile on SEDAR+ and the SEC. Additional information regarding the persons who may be deemed participants and their direct and indirect interests, by security holdings or otherwise, will be set forth in
the Definitive Proxy Statement, the Circular and other materials when they are filed with the SEC or on SEDAR+ in connection with the Arrangement. Free copies of these documents may be obtained as described in the paragraphs above.
Forward-Looking Statements and Cautionary Statements
Certain statements in this document concerning the proposed Arrangement, including any statements regarding the expected timetable for completing the Arrangement, the results, effects, benefits and synergies of
the Arrangement, future opportunities for the combined company, future financial performance and condition, guidance and any other statements regarding Coeur’s or New Gold’s future expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, financial
conditions, assumptions or future events or performance that are not historical facts are “forward-looking” statements based on assumptions currently believed to be valid. Forward-looking statements are all statements other than statements
of historical facts. The words “anticipate,” “believe,” “ensure,” “expect,” “if,” “intend,” “estimate,” “probable,” “project,” “forecasts,” “predict,” “outlook,” “aim,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “would,” “potential,” “may,” “might,”
“likely,” “plan,” “positioned,” “strategy,” and similar expressions or other words of similar meaning, and the negatives thereof, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Specific forward-looking statements include, but are not
limited to, statements regarding Coeur’s or New Gold’s plans and expectations with respect to the proposed Arrangement and the anticipated impact of the proposed Arrangement on the combined company’s results of operations, financial
position, growth opportunities and competitive position, including maintaining current Coeur and New Gold management, strategies and plans and integration. The forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor
provided by Section 27A of the Securities Act, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and applicable Canadian securities laws.
These forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those anticipated, including, but not limited to, the possibility that
shareholders of New Gold may not approve the Arrangement or stockholders of Coeur may not approve the Stock Issuance or the Charter Amendment; the risk that any other condition to Closing (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) may not be
satisfied; the risk that the Closing might be delayed or not occur at all; the anticipated timing of mailing proxy statements and circulars regarding the Arrangement; the risk that either Coeur or New Gold may terminate the Arrangement
Agreement and either Coeur or New Gold is required to pay a termination fee to the other party; potential adverse reactions or changes to business or employee relationships of Coeur or New Gold, including those resulting from the
announcement or completion of the Arrangement; the diversion of management time on transaction-related issues; the ultimate timing, outcome and results of integrating the operations of Coeur and New Gold; the effects of the business
combination of Coeur and New Gold, including the combined company’s future financial condition, results of operations, strategy and plans; the ability of the combined company to realize anticipated synergies in the timeframe expected or at
all; changes in capital markets and the ability of the combined company to finance operations in the manner expected; the risk that Coeur or New Gold may not receive the required stock exchange and regulatory approvals of the Arrangement;
the expected listing of shares on the NYSE; the risk of any litigation relating to the proposed Arrangement; the risk of changes in governmental regulations or enforcement practices; the effects of commodity prices, life of mine estimates;
the timing and amount of estimated future production; the risks of mining activities; and the fact that operating costs and business disruption may be greater than expected following the public announcement or consummation of the
Arrangement. Expectations regarding business outlook, including changes in revenue, pricing, capital expenditures, cash flow generation, strategies for the combined company’s operations, gold, copper and silver market conditions, legal,
economic and regulatory conditions, and environmental matters are only forecasts regarding these matters.
Additional factors that could cause results to differ materially from those described above can be found in the Definitive Proxy Statement and Coeur’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2024, and subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, which are on file with the SEC and available from Coeur’s website at www.coeur.com under the “Investors” tab, and in other documents Coeur files with the SEC and in New Gold’s Circular
and annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2024, which are on file with the SEC and on SEDAR+ and available from New Gold’s website at www.newgold.com under the “Investors” tab, and in other documents New Gold files with
the SEC or on SEDAR+.
All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made and are based on information available at that time. Neither Coeur nor New Gold assumes any obligation to update
forward-looking statements to reflect circumstances or events that occur after the date the forward-looking statements were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events except as required by applicable securities laws. As
forward-looking statements involve significant risks and uncertainties, caution should be exercised against placing undue reliance on such statements.
