Methanex Corporation – Notice of Amendment to Advance Notice Provision By-Law 5

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA–(Marketwired – April 16, 2015) – Methanex Corporation (TSX:MX)(NASDAQ:MEOH)announced today that its board of directors has approved amendments to the advance notice provisions included in By-Law No. 5. The By-Law had previously been published in the company’s Information Circular dated March 7, 2015 (the “Circular”). The amended By-Law and shareholder resolution to confirm the By-Law will be placed before shareholders for approval at Methanex’s annual general and special meeting of shareholders to be held on April 30, 2015 (the “Meeting”).

The By-Law amendment addresses recent comments from proxy advisory firms. The amendment will consist of the deletion of paragraph 27 of the By-Law, which would have otherwise permitted Methanex to require the nominating shareholder to furnish such additional information as Methanex reasonably requested regarding the eligibility, independence or qualifications of a proposed nominee. Methanex believes that the specific information enumerated in paragraph 26 of By-Law No. 5 will provide shareholders with sufficient information regarding any proposed nominee to make an informed decision.

Shareholders are encouraged to review the Circular which provides a detailed discussion of the matters to be considered at the Meeting. The Circular is available under the Company’s SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.
