Scheduled Debt Principal Repayments

The Company’s remaining scheduled debt principal repayments in respect of the 2020 Notes are $100.0 million in 2030 and $100.0 million in 2032.

Credit Facility

On February 12, 2024, the Company entered into a new credit facility with a group of financial institutions that provides the Company with a $2.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and includes a $1.0 billion uncommitted accordion facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Credit Facility matures and all indebtedness thereunder is due and payable on February 12, 2029. The Credit Facility is available in US dollars through Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) and base rate advances, or in Canadian dollars through Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”) and prime rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranges from 0.00% to 2.00%. The Credit Facility also provides for the issuance of letters of credit, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that varies from 0.60% to 2.00%. The lenders under the Credit Facility are each paid a standby fee at a rate that ranges from 0.09% to 0.25% of the undrawn portion of the Credit Facility. In each case, the applicable margin or standby fees vary depending on the Company’s credit rating. The Company’s payment and performance of its obligations under the Credit Facility are not guaranteed by any of its subsidiaries, however the Company must provide guarantees from certain of its subsidiaries if (i) any existing material indebtedness of the Company benefits from guarantees and the Company no longer maintains an investment grade credit rating, or (ii) if the Company incurs new material indebtedness for borrowed money, or refinances existing material indebtedness (including material alterations to the terms of such indebtedness, but excluding maturity date extensions) and provides guarantees of such new or refinanced material indebtedness from any of its subsidiaries.

As at December 31, 2025, no amounts were outstanding under the Credit Facility. During the year ended December 31, 2025, there were no Credit Facility drawdowns and no Credit Facility repayments. During the year ended December 31, 2024, Credit Facility drawdowns and repayments each totaled $600.0 million. As at December 31, 2025, $1,975.8 million was available for future drawdown under the Credit Facility. Credit Facility availability is reduced by outstanding letters of credit, which were $24.2 million as at December 31, 2025.

Term Loan Facility

On April 20, 2023, the Company entered into a credit agreement with two financial institutions that provided a $600.0 million unsecured term credit facility (the “Term Loan Facility”). The Company drew the full amount of the Term Loan Facility on April 28, 2023. The Term Loan Facility was scheduled to mature and all indebtedness thereunder was due and payable on April 21, 2025. The Term Loan Facility was available as a single advance in US dollars through SOFR and base rate advances, priced at the applicable rate plus a margin that ranged from 0.00% to 2.00%, depending on the Company’s credit rating.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, Agnico Eagle fully repaid the $600.0 million outstanding on its Term Loan Facility.

During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred debt extinguishment costs of $8.2 million relating to the repayment of the 2016, 2017 and 2018 Notes prior to their respective maturity dates. Debt extinguishment costs are recognized within finance costs in the consolidated statements of income.

Covenants

Payment and performance of Agnico Eagle’s obligations under the Term Loan Facility, and the Notes were guaranteed by each of its material subsidiaries and certain of its other subsidiaries (the “Guarantors”). However, in connection with the Company’s entry into the Credit Facility on February 12, 2024, the subsidiary guarantees provided in connection with the Term Loan Facility and the Notes were released.

The Credit Facility contains customary covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company to incur additional indebtedness, make distributions in certain circumstances and sell material assets.

The note purchase agreement pursuant to which the Notes were issued (the “Note Purchase Agreement”) contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of the Company to amalgamate or otherwise transfer its assets, sell material assets and carry on a business other than one related to mining.

The Credit Facility also requires the Company to maintain a total net debt to capitalization ratio below a specified maximum value and the Note Purchase Agreement requires the Company to maintain a total net debt to EBITDA ratio below a specified maximum value.

The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the Credit Facility and Note Purchase Agreements throughout the years ended and as at December 31, 2025 and 2024.
