Compañia de Minas Buenaventura S.A.A. (“Buenaventura” or “the Company”) (NYSE: BVN; Lima Stock Exchange: BUE.LM), Peru’s largest publicly-traded precious metals mining company, announces that following the conversations held between representatives of the Company and Antofagasta plc (hereinafter, "Antofagasta"), the Board of Directors of the Company has agreed to call a General Shareholders' Meeting to be held on February 22, 2024, to submit for its consideration the partial amendment of the bylaws to increase the number of directors from seven to nine. This amendment would subsequently allow proposing to the General Shareholders' Meeting the appointment of two directors proposed by Antofagasta, taking into consideration the right it has based on the percentage of its owned shares.

In this regard, the Company considers that Antofagasta's contribution to the Board of Directors would add value to its composition, considering its experience and knowledge in the mining sector.
