/PRNewswire/ – Wheaton Precious Metals™ Corp. (“Wheaton” or the “Company”) has added a sustainability-linked element in connection with the extension to its existing undrawn

US$2 billion

revolving credit facility underscoring Wheaton’s commitment to sustainability initiatives.

“At Wheaton, sustainability is integral to every aspect of our business, strategy and overall success,” said

Randy Smallwood

, Wheaton’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Integrating key performance indicators that are based on our ambitious sustainability goals into the renewal of our credit facility demonstrates that we are committed and accountable to creating value for all of our stakeholders, including our shareholders, mining partners and our neighbours. It is the right thing to do, and we hope to see more of our peers in the streaming and mining industry do the same.”

The renewed revolving credit facility is aligned with Wheaton’s sustainability strategy, which includes a commitment to net zero carbon emissions by 2050. More information on Wheaton’s sustainability targets are included in the company’s annual

Sustainability Report

Diversity at the Wheaton group’s board and management levels
Wheaton’s S&P ESG score

Wheaton has also extended the maturity date of the renewed revolving credit facility by one year to

July 18, 2027

. The Company currently has no amounts drawn under the revolving credit facility.
