Fellow Stockholders:

On behalf of Coeur Mining’s Board of Directors, we are pleased to invite you to our 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 9, 2023, at 9:30 a.m., Central Time. The Annual Meeting will be held again virtually this year. Our virtual Annual Meeting platform will allow you to actively participate in the Annual Meeting in the same manner you would at an in-person meeting. The attached Notice of Annual Meeting and Proxy Statement serve as your guide to the business that will be conducted at the meeting. You will also find information on how to vote your shares.

This past fiscal year we navigated unprecedented macroeconomic volatility and continued geopolitical tensions. Guided by our purpose statement, We Pursue a Higher Standard , we executed on our strategies, delivered strong results and advanced key initiatives in this challenging environment. In 2022 our executive compensation program was strongly aligned with our operational and financial performance and stockholder returns. Continued leading health, safety and environmental practices, together with strong production, was offset by higher unit costs and lower adjusted EBITDA than planned, resulting in a 94% payout under our annual incentive plan. Under our long-term incentive plan, strong three-year growth in reserves and resources and advancement of key milestones at Rochester and Silvertip was offset by underperformance on return on invested capital and, together with relative TSR performance in the bottom quartile of our peers, resulted in a 55% payout on the 2020 performance share awards. We invite you to read more about our 2022 operational and financial results in our 2022 Annual Report.

In 2022, we advanced our commitment to leading environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices aligned with creating long-term stockholder value and mitigating risk. Our ESG priorities are driven by an assessment of ESG factors that are most relevant to our business and strategy. We published an ESG Report with disclosures in line with the TCFD recommendations, SASB and incorporating elements of the GRI standards and UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Underscoring the strategic importance of this objective, we also tied 20% of the 2022 executive long-term performance share award to achieving our public greenhouse gas emissions net intensity reduction goal. We also advanced our human capital management efforts to provide career progression and unique internal development programs to invest in and retain future Company leaders, and improved upon our industry-leading safety programs and performance.

We continue to advance our work on diversity, equity and inclusion at all levels of our organization, including among our Board of Directors. Coeur achieved its publicly stated goal of increasing the number of female directors prior to the 2023 Annual Meeting with the election of Jeane Hull to the Board in 2022, increasing the overall diversity of our Board in 2022 to 50%. Our longstanding pledge to support the CEO ACTION for Diversity & Inclusion initiative publicly affirms Coeur’s existing practice of fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce while promoting and maintaining equity among all employees. Our directors continue to provide effective risk oversight and guidance, sharing strategic insight and practical expertise informed by their diverse skills, experiences, and backgrounds. We hope you will take the opportunity to read further in this proxy statement about our Board’s important governance role and we want to take this opportunity to thank John Robinson and Jessica McDonald for their service as directors and their many contributions to the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Our Business and Strategy

We are a precious metals producer with assets located in the United States, Canada and Mexico. Our common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “CDE”. Coeur’s strategy is to be America’s premier, growing provider of precious and critical minerals from a balanced, prospective asset base located in mining friendly jurisdictions and underpinned by leading ESG practices. Our strategy is guided by our purpose statement, We Pursue a Higher Standard , and three key principles:

We conduct our business with a proactive focus on positively impacting the health, safety, and socioeconomic status of our people and the communities in which we operate as well as the environment.

2022 Performance Highlights

In 2022, we delivered strong financial and operating results while continuing to streamline our portfolio of core assets and advance the Rochester expansion project, which is expected to be a key catalyst, unlocking long-term value for our stockholders. The health and safety of our employees and the communities where we operate, as well as the protection of the environment, continued to be our top priorities, and we are proud of year-over-year improvement in safety and environmental performance. Finally, the Company’s continued investment in exploration resulted in reserve growth at all of our operating mines, which, together with new discoveries at our assets, lays the groundwork for future success.

2022 Executive Compensation Highlights (p. 52 )

Compensation programs across the Company are designed to promote operational success and drive the creation of long-term value for our stockholders, taking into consideration the different roles of our employees.

The CD&A provides a detailed discussion of the philosophy, structure and compensation paid to our NEOs for 2022, and describes our leading compensation practices, changes in our compensation program in response to stockholder feedback, and the strong link between pay and Company performance. At our 2022 Annual Meeting, our stockholders again showed strong support for our executive compensation program with over 95% of the votes cast for the approval of our “say-on-pay” proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

In 2022, our CLD Committee continued to place a significant proportion of the compensation of our NEOs at risk in order to align pay with performance to a greater extent than our peers, as shown in the charts below.

Peer group described in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—2022 Peer Group” on page 61 . Data is from public filings during fiscal year 2021. NEO (Average) excludes the CEO.

Companywide AIP achievement of 94% of target was driven by solid gold production and silver production that was within public guidance and in line with internal targets, and overall strong safety and environmental performance, offset by higher costs and lower adjusted EBITDA than planned. Strong three-year growth in reserves and resources, driven by solid results from our exploration program and achievement of milestones related to our Rochester and Silvertip projects offset by below threshold performance on metrics tied to ROIC, together with a 25% payout reduction due to relative TSR performance in the bottom quartile of our peers, resulted in an overall 55% payout of the 2020 three-year performance share award.

For the three-year 2020-2022 period, our CEO received payouts for performance-based and “at-risk” elements of our compensation program that were 33% lower than the target payout level. During this same period, our stock price decreased by 58%.

2022 Annual Incentive Plan Results (1)

Metric Weight Result Payout
Gold Production 17.5% 99% 16.6%
Silver Production 7.5% 98% 6.8%
Gold CAS 17.5% 109% 9.6%
Silver CAS 7.5% 114% 0%
Adjusted EBITDA 30% 94% 25.5%
Environment, Health and Safety 20% 200% 114% 200% 35.7%
Weighted Average Payout 94% (3)

2020-2022 LTIP Performance Shares Results (1)

Metric Weight (2) Payout
ROIC 35% 0 %
Reserves & Resources Growth 35% 139%
POA 11 Expansion 20% 75%
Silvertip Restart/Expansion 10% 100%
Relative TSR Modifier -25%
Weighted Average Payout 55 %

(1) For details about the calculation of 2022 AIP and 2020-2022 LTIP performance shares results, see “2022 Executive Compensation Results” beginning on page 63 .

(2) Weighting is calculated as a percentage of the total 2020 performance share grant target value. The 2020 performance share grant constituted 60% of the total 2020 LTIP award opportunity target value, with the other 40% granted as three-year time-vesting restricted shares. For details about the calculation of the payout for the 2020 performance share awards, see “Payouts for 2020-2022 Performance Shares”.

(3) By convention, the actual payout is rounded to the nearest whole number.

Our leadership team regularly engages with employees and assesses our culture through surveys, town halls with opportunities for employees to ask questions, and development programming, among other efforts.

Environmental, Social & Governance/ESG (1) (p. 30 )

Coeur has established itself as an ESG leader among its peers. We continued to advance our ESG initiatives in 2022, including publishing our 2021 ESG Report, which included specific, objective goals to continue to improve our industry leading safety record, reduce the net intensity of our GHG emissions across the Company, build on our commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, and protect critical habitat. We formally designated executive accountability for ESG matters with the appointment of Casey Nault as our Chief ESG Officer in February 2022 and our Board and Committees are actively involved in oversight of ESG matters. Our 2022 ESG Report, expected to be published in the second quarter of 2023 will detail these and many other achievements, and will discuss additional ESG-related goals and progress across the Company. The report will also show continued efforts of making climate-related disclosure in-line with the recommendations of the TCFD, mapping to SASB and incorporating elements of the GRI framework and the U.N. SDGs. We are particularly proud to have achieved the following recent ESG accomplishments and awards:

Anchor Director and Nominee Experience and Qualifications

Coeur is a precious metals mining company with operations and properties in the United States, Mexico and Canada. The management of our business requires the balancing of many considerations, including:

Strategic and financial growth and building long-term value for our stockholders
Cyclicality of commodities prices
Health and safety of our employees and business and community partners
Environmental stewardship and decarbonization
Building positive relationships with the communities in which we operate
Fostering and maintaining a strong culture
Attracting, developing and retaining talented employees
Complying with laws and regulations in a heavily-regulated industry
Maintaining leading corporate governance and disclosure practices
Implementing appropriate systems to identify, report and manage principal
business risks

Our Board believes that it should possess a combination of skills, professional experience and diversity of viewpoints necessary to oversee our business, together with relevant technical skills or financial acumen that demonstrates an understanding of the financial and operational aspects and associated risks of a large, complex organization like Coeur. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain Board membership criteria, focused on ethics, integrity and values, sound business judgment, strength of character, mature judgment, professional experience, industry knowledge and diversity of viewpoints, all in the context of an assessment of the perceived needs of the Board at that point in time. Accordingly, the Board and the NCG Committee consider the qualifications of incumbent directors and director candidates individually and in the broader context of the Board’s overall composition and our current and future needs, including an incumbent director’s or potential director’s ability to contribute to the diversity of viewpoints and experience represented on the Board, and it regularly reviews its effectiveness in balancing these considerations when assessing the composition of the Board. In addition to relevant skills and

TABLE OF CONTENTS

experience of incumbent directors and director candidates, the Board and the NCG Committee consider gender diversity to be important and are mindful of female representation on the Board when filling Board vacancies and when changing its composition. Coeur has nominated nine people for election as directors in this Proxy Statement, including three female nominees who, if elected, will represent one-third of our Board.

The Board and the NCG Committee have not formulated any specific minimum qualifications, but rather consider the factors described above and, among other things, the Board has determined that it is important to have individuals with the following skills and experiences on the Board:

| ● | ​ | ​ | Current and Former CEO/Group Executive Directors
with experience in significant leadership positions possess strong abilities to motivate and develop people and understand the complexities and challenges of managing a large organization | ​ | ​ | ● | ​ | ​ | Project Development/Management The mining
business is project intensive. Coeur benefits by having directors who have experience through the entire lifecycle of acquiring, developing and managing large and complex projects |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| ● | ​ | ​ | Environmental, Social and Governance / Health and Safety Operating
safely and protecting the environments and communities in which we operate is one of our highest priorities and critical to the success of our business | ​ | ​ | ● | ​ | ​ | Government Affairs, Regulatory and Legal We operate
in a heavily regulated industry that is directly affected by governmental actions and legal requirements at the local, state and federal levels in the United States, Mexico and Canada |
| ● | ​ | ​ | Strategy Development and Execution Directors
with experience driving strategic direction and growth through mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and other strategic initiatives, and overseeing commitment of resources, risk management and execution provide critical insights in
evaluating strategic plans and opportunities | ​ | ​ | ● | ​ | ​ | Capital Markets Transactions Analysis and
understanding of proposed capital markets transactions, including risks and the impact to our existing capital structure is critical to oversight of strategy execution and project management |
| ● | ​ | ​ | Extractive or Cyclical Industry The mining
sector, particularly precious metals mining, is cyclical, and stockholders and management benefit from the perspectives and experience of directors who have lead firms through several full business cycles | ​ | ​ | ● | ​ | ​ | U.S. Public Company Board Service As a
U.S.-based and NYSE-listed company, Directors who have experience serving on other U.S. public company boards generally are well-prepared to fulfill the Board’s responsibilities of overseeing and providing insight and guidance to
management in the context of U.S. public company regulation and governance structures |
| ● | ​ | ​ | Finance/Accounting We operate
in a complex financial and regulatory environment with disclosure requirements, detailed business processes and internal controls | ​ | ​ | ● | ​ | ​ | Technology/Cyber Security Providing
perspectives on innovation and overseeing the physical and cyber threats against the security of our operations, assets and systems and response preparedness |
| ● | ​ | ​ | Human Capital Management Oversight of
the recruitment, retention and development of key talent is critical for execution of Company strategies and initiatives | ​ | ​ | ● | ​ | ​ | Culture A strong
culture is the foundation for effective risk management, attracting, retaining and developing top talent, transparency and accountability, and strategy development and execution |
| ● | ​ | ​ | Geographic Experience
in the jurisdictions in which we operate helps us navigate unique jurisdictional challenges, including culture and the legal and regulatory environment | ​ | ​ | ● | ​ | ​ | Diversity A board with
gender, racial, ethnic and age diversity allows for different perspectives, which can lead to higher quality discussions, decision-making and increased overall effectiveness. |

In addition to Board diversity, Coeur recognizes the importance of diversity in senior executive leadership. While we do not establish specific diversity targets at the Board or executive level, as of the date of this Proxy Statement, 28% (2 out of 7) of the officers who comprise our Executive Leadership Team identify as women, one of whom is an NEO.

Anchor Anchor Board Composition and Refreshment

The Board does not have a mandatory retirement age. Instead, the Board believes that directors should be evaluated on their unique perspectives, experiences and ability to contribute to the Board, and that long-serving directors provide important perspective and insight based on industry experience and a deep understanding of our long-term plans and objectives. The Board is focused on maintaining a balance between longer serving directors and newer directors with complementary skills, expertise, diverse backgrounds and points of view, which allows for natural turnover and an appropriate pace of Board refreshment. For example, several of our longer serving directors, including Messrs. Mellor, Robinson (who is not standing for re-election at the 2023 Annual Meeting) and Thompson, have deep public company board experience, including Messrs. Mellor’s and Thompson’s roles in leading other public company boards, which are invaluable to our Board and management team and balance with the perspectives of our newer directors. Messrs. Mellor, Edwards, Robinson and Thompson also have significant experience serving Coeur in different economic environments, through multiple business and commodity cycles, and under multiple management teams, which provides them with experience and perspective that is highly valuable in providing strong leadership to a company in our industry. In identifying director candidates from time to time and consistent with our goal of maintaining at least 50% of diverse directors, the NCG Committee seeks to include women and ethnically and racially diverse individuals in any potential candidate pool and may focus on specific skills and experience of particular importance at the time in order to enhance the overall balance and effectiveness of the Board, as was the case in 2018 with the elections of Ms. McDonald (who is not standing for re-election at the 2023 Annual Meeting) and Mr. Luna, Ms. Hull in 2022 and the nomination of Ms. Das in 2023. As part of the Board’s ongoing efforts to seek this balance of skills, experience and tenure, as described in more detail below, the Board elected three new directors over the past five years. If all of the nominees are elected to the Board, the average tenure of the directors will be approximately 11.3 years, with 5 out of 8 independent director nominees having served ten years or less. As reflected in the current makeup of the Board and the diverse slate of nominees, one of our priorities in the director nomination process is enhancing and maintaining Board diversity.

Anchor Director Nomination Process

The NCG Committee reviews and makes recommendations regarding the composition and size of the Board. The Board considers candidates identified by search firms it retains or consults with periodically, recommended by current directors, management (as was the case with Ms. Hull and Ms. Das) and stockholders, and through other methods. The NCG Committee has adopted a policy pursuant to which significant long-term stockholders may recommend a director candidate. See page 27 for more details.

Anchor Evaluation Process for Current Directors

Before recommending an incumbent director for re-nomination, the NCG Committee considers each incumbent director’s experience, qualifications and expected future contributions to the Board. The committee’s annual review of existing directors includes the following considerations:

► Key Attributes and Responsibilities – In addition to having a Board composed of directors who collectively possess the diverse set of skills described above, directors should actively represent the interests of stockholders; assess and advise management regarding major risks facing the Company; oversee that processes are in place for maintaining the integrity of the Company, its financial statements, its data and systems, its compliance with laws and ethics, its relationships with third parties, and its relationships with other stakeholders; and select, evaluate, retain and compensate a well-qualified CEO and senior management team, oversee succession planning and commit to fostering an environment of diversity, equity and inclusion at the Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

► Independence – Considering whether the interests or affiliations of a director are not in compliance with applicable laws or stock exchange requirements or could compromise the independence and integrity of an independent director’s service on behalf of stockholders, including the director’s relationships with the Company that would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment.

► Commitment and Performance – Willingness and ability to devote the time necessary to serve as an effective director. In this regard, we have a director overboarding policy included in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which limits the total number of public company boards (including Coeur’s) to four, or two (including Coeur’s) for directors who are executive officers of public companies.

Annual Board Self-Evaluation Process

In recent years, the Board enhanced its self-evaluation process by formally seeking input from management who regularly interact with the Board and its committees regarding opportunities to increase effectiveness.

Anchor Majority Vote Standard for the Election of Directors

According to our Bylaws, in an uncontested election, the number of votes cast “for” a director’s election must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director.

If a nominee for director does not receive the vote of at least a majority of votes cast at the Annual Meeting, it is the policy of the Board that the director must tender his or her offer of resignation. The NCG Committee will then make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation offer, or whether other action should be taken, taking into account all of the relevant facts and circumstances. The director who has tendered his or her offer of resignation will not take part in the proceedings with respect to his or her resignation offer. For additional information, our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on the Corporate Governance page of our website, www.coeur.com/company/corporate-governance/ , and to any stockholder who requests them. The information on our website is not incorporated by reference in this Proxy Statement.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each nominee listed in “Director Nominees” Below

Anchor Director Nominees

The nine individuals named below have been nominated by the Board to be elected as directors at the Annual Meeting, each to serve for one year and until his or her successor is elected and qualified. Other than Ms. Hull (who was appointed to the Company's Board effective July 19, 2022) and Ms. Das, the nominees were elected to the Board at the 2022 Annual Meeting. Ms. Hull and Ms. Das were each identified by our President & CEO as potential director candidates, and, following meetings with our independent Chairman, the NGC Committee and the full board, were formally recommended by the NGC Committee to serve as directors. Ms. McDonald and Mr. Robinson, current Company directors, are not standing for re-election. Accordingly, each will cease being a director as of the 2023 Annual Meeting. We do not contemplate that any of the persons named below will be unable, or will decline, to serve; however, if any such nominee is unable or declines to serve, the persons named in the accompanying proxy may vote for a substitute, or substitutes, in their discretion, or the Board may reduce its size or leave a vacancy on the Board.

The Board and the NCG Committee have determined that our nominees possess a balanced mix of the qualifications and experiences relevant to the effective governance and oversight of our business.

Anchor Meeting Attendance

Our Board met eight times during 2022. Each incumbent director who served in 2022 attended at least 90% of the aggregate meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served.

Anchor Board Leadership Structure

One of our Board’s key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. The Board understands that there is no single, generally accepted approach to providing Board leadership, and that given the dynamic and competitive environment in which we operate, the right Board leadership structure may vary over time. As a result, we do not have a firm policy regarding whether the roles of Chairman and CEO should be separate or combined. The Board and NCG Committee review the structure of Board and Company leadership as part of its annual review of the Board succession planning process. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines provide that if the Chairman is an affiliated director or a member of management, an independent director shall be designated by and from the independent members of the Board as an independent Lead Director for a term of at least one year.

The NCG Committee has recommended and our Board has determined that an independent, non-executive Chairman is currently the optimal leadership structure for the Company. Currently, Mr. Mellor serves as independent Chairman of the Board and Mr. Krebs serves as President, CEO and Director.

The Board believes that this structure allows our CEO to focus on managing the business and executing Company strategy, while our independent Chair has extensive public company board experience to drive accountability and effective oversight at the Board level. The Chairman presides at all Board meetings and stockholders’ meetings, all independent Director executive sessions scheduled at each regular Board meeting and provides ongoing advice and counsel to the CEO. The Chairman represents the entire Board and independent directors in communications with Company stockholders and stakeholders.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The Board recognizes the importance of the Company’s leadership structure to our stockholders and will continue to regularly assess the Board leadership structure with careful consideration of the input obtained through engagement with our stockholders and stakeholders. We also regularly monitor and would consult the voting policies of our largest stockholders and would take those into account in determining any change to our Board leadership structure. The Board may consider having the Chair and CEO roles filled by a single individual in the future under circumstances including, but not limited to, when there is a vacancy in the Chair role at a time when the CEO has significant tenure with both the Company and the Board. The Company would publicly disclose any Board leadership change.

Anchor Director Independence

The Board has determined that each director and director nominee (namely, Robert E. Mellor, Linda Adamany, Paramita Das, Sebastian Edwards, Randolph E. Gress, Jeane L. Hull, Eduardo Luna, Jessica L. McDonald, John H. Robinson and J. Kenneth Thompson) other than Mr. Krebs, our President and CEO, is independent within the meaning of applicable NYSE listing standards and rules and our independence standards, which are included as part of our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board has further determined that the Audit Committee, CLD Committee, NCG Committee and EHSCR Committee are composed solely of independent directors, and members of the Audit and CLD Committees satisfy additional, heightened independence criteria applicable to members of those committees under the NYSE listing standards and SEC rules. Consequently, independent directors directly oversee such important matters as our financial statements, executive compensation, the selection and evaluation of directors, risk management and the development and implementation of our corporate governance programs and ESG programs and compliance.

In determining the independence of directors, the Board (with the assistance of the General Counsel and based upon the recommendation of the NCG Committee) undertakes an annual review of the independence of all non-employee directors. Each non-employee director annually provides the Board with information regarding the director’s business and other relationships with Coeur and its affiliates, and with senior management and their affiliates, to enable the Board to evaluate the director’s independence. In the course of the annual determination of the independence of directors, the Board (with the assistance of the General Counsel and based upon the recommendation of the NCG Committee) evaluates all relevant information and materials, including any relationships between Coeur and any other company where one of our non-employee directors also serves as a director. The Board considered Mr. Thompson's board service for Alaska Air Group, Inc. and Tetra Tech, Inc., and Ms. Hull's board service for Epiroc AB, with whom Coeur conducted business in 2022. Mr. Thompson and Ms. Hull did not influence, or receive any material direct benefit from, those business relationships.

In addition, the Board considered the potential impact of the longer tenures on the independence of Messrs. Mellor, Robinson, Thompson and Edwards. Each director has significant experience serving Coeur in different economic environments, through multiple business and commodity cycles, and under multiple management teams, which provides them with experience and perspective that is highly valuable in providing strong leadership to a company in our industry. See “Board Composition and Refreshment” on page 12 . Accordingly, the Board has determined that each is independent because each satisfies all applicable legal and stock exchange criteria for independence and continues to be an effective director who fulfills his responsibilities with integrity and independence of thought. Mr. Robinson will cease to be a director effective as of the 2023 Annual Meeting.

Anchor Related Person Transactions

Our Related Person Transactions Policy includes written policies and procedures for the review, approval or ratification, if pre-approval was not feasible, of related person transactions. As more fully explained in this policy, any transaction in which a related person has a material interest, other than transactions involving aggregate amounts less than $120,000, must be approved or ratified (if pre-approval was not feasible) by the NCG Committee. The policies apply to all executive officers, directors, more than 5% stockholders and their immediate family members. Since the beginning of 2022, there were no related person transactions as defined by the policy.

Coeur Mining 2023 Proxy Statement 26

End Page 33

Anchor

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We take the following steps with regard to related person transactions:

► On an annual basis, each director, director nominee and executive officer of the Company completes a detailed questionnaire that requires disclosure of any transaction, arrangement or relationship with us during the last fiscal year in which the director, director nominee or executive officer, or any member of his or her immediate family, had a direct or indirect material interest.

► Each director and executive officer is expected to promptly notify our legal department of any direct or indirect interest that such person or an immediate family member of such person had, has or may have in a transaction in which we participate.

► Any reported transaction that our legal department determines may qualify as a related person transaction is referred to the NCG Committee.

► The Company monitors its accounts payable, accounts receivable and other databases to identify any other potential related person transactions that may require disclosure.

In determining whether or not to approve or ratify, if pre-approval was not feasible, a related person transaction, the NCG Committee may take such action as it may deem necessary or in the best interests of the Company and may take into account the effect of any related person transaction on independence status of a director.

Anchor Meetings of Non-Management Directors

Non-management members of the Board, all of whom are also independent directors, regularly hold executive sessions at Board meetings without members of management being present. In 2022, non-management independent directors met in executive session at least 5 times, at each regular Board meeting. Mr. Mellor, the independent Chairman of the Board, presides over each such meeting.

Anchor Director Education and Development

We provide our new directors with an extensive onboarding process as well as ongoing education for all directors through board materials and presentations, discussions with management, visits to our sites and other sources to assist them in keeping up to date with any recent governance and industry trends and have direct exposure to our operations. In 2022, directors were provided concentrated educational and development programs at Board and Committee meetings and through online training opportunities covering anti-discrimination and anti-harassment, diversity, equity and inclusion, GHG emissions and climate change, political and regulatory trends and risks, reserve and resource estimation, tax matters, financial reporting and fiduciary obligations, among other matters. Several of our directors also attended programs focused on topics that are relevant to their duties as a director, including cyber risk oversight, climate risk and decarbonization, corporate governance, ethics, diversity, ESG topics, audit matters, economics, culture, crisis management, executive compensation, political and regulatory risks and developments in the U.S., Mexico and Canada, and board best practices.

Anchor Policy Regarding Recommending Nominees by Stockholders

The NCG Committee has adopted a policy pursuant to which a stockholder who has owned at least 1% of our outstanding shares of common stock for at least two years may recommend a director candidate that the committee will consider when there is a vacancy on the Board either as a result of a director resignation or an increase in the size of the Board. Such recommendation must be in writing addressed to the Chairman of the NCG Committee at our principal executive offices and must be received by the Chairman at least 120 days prior to the anniversary date of the release of the prior year’s proxy statement. Although the NCG Committee has not formulated any specific minimum qualifications that it believes must be met by a nominee that the NCG Committee recommends to the Board, the NCG Committee will take into account the factors discussed under “Director and Nominee Experience and Qualifications” on page 10 . The NCG Committee would evaluate any stockholder nominee according to the same criteria as a nominee from any other source.

Anchor Management Succession Planning and Talent Development

The Board oversees the recruitment, development, and retention of our senior executives. Significant focus is placed on succession planning both for key executive roles and also deeper into the organization. In-depth discussions occur multiple times per year in meetings of the Board, CLD Committee and NCG Committee, including in executive sessions to foster candid

TABLE OF CONTENTS

conversations. The full Board receives an annual presentation from Mr. Krebs, our CEO, and Ms. Schouten, our Senior Vice President, Human Resources, showing detailed succession plans for each executive and senior leadership position as well as the general managers for each operating mine and their senior leadership teams. These succession plans include development plans and readiness assessments for succession candidates. The CLD Committee receives regular presentations from Mr. Krebs and Ms. Schouten on the progress each executive has made on his or her individual development plans. These presentation materials result from a structured evaluation process by and under the leadership of Ms. Schouten which includes one-on-one discussions with key leaders throughout the Company about their teams and employees. This process highlights organizational talent gaps and identifies development plans in order to close those gaps. In addition, talent across ethnicity, gender and age is reviewed. Directors have regular and direct exposure to senior leadership and high-potential employees during Board and committee meetings and through other informal meetings and events held during the year. The NCG Committee has formalized an emergency CEO succession plan to provide for continuity of leadership in the event of an unplanned temporary absence or permanent change of our CEO.

Our focused succession planning enables us to timely identify internal and external candidates for key roles within the organization. In 2022, over 17% of the total organization received a promotion. This process also supported the decision to recruit externally for Operations and Exploration leadership roles, which led to the hiring of Michael Routledge as Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer in June 2020 and Aoife McGrath as Senior Vice President, Exploration in April 2022.

Anchor Board Oversight of Long-Term Strategy and Capital Allocation

A significant amount of time is dedicated to strategy at each regular Board meeting, a focused review of strategy occurs annually, and the Board considers alignment of key initiatives with the Company’s strategy and capital allocation framework when approving significant actions. Our management team and Board integrate ESG risks and opportunities into long-term strategy and capital allocation. Examples include our strategic priority to operate only in favorable jurisdictions from a legal certainty and rule of law perspective, incorporating GHG emissions and the transitional and physical risks of climate change into strategic and business planning, constructing and operating lower-risk tailings storage facilities, actively promoting strong relationships with all stakeholders to support social license to operate, fostering a culture of diversity, equity and inclusion, and actively managing our human capital and culture to develop and attract the high-caliber talented workforce we need to succeed. In addition, the Board regularly invites leading investment banking firms and equity research analysts in our sector, precious metals research analysts and other subject matter experts to present to the Board to provide insights on the industry and the broader economy to consider in setting and overseeing long-term strategy. The Board actively oversees and provides constructive feedback on development of strategy and execution of key strategic initiatives through a combination of channels, including:

► during dedicated discussions on formal Board agendas,

► during executive sessions both with the CEO and among independent directors only,

► through its committees in regard to matters subject to committee oversight (such as the CLD Committee in regard to leadership development and the alignment of compensation programs with long-term strategy and value-creation, the EHSCR Committee in regard to ESG initiatives, including related to climate change, the NCG Committee in regard to Board refreshment and diversity and maintaining peer-leading corporate governance practices, and the Audit Committee in regard to financial risk management, maintaining a strong compliance program and cybersecurity), and

► through one-on-one discussions between directors and the CEO to leverage individual directors' unique perspectives and experiences by applying them to the Company's particular strategic opportunities and challenges.

In addition, our Board plans to constitute a new committee, the Finance and Strategic Investment Committee, following the 2023 Annual Meeting, which will have responsibility for overseeing and reviewing the Company's financial position, strategy, plans and programs, including any financial risk mitigation practices, as well as capital allocation. We believe our Board's approach to oversight and counseling management is effective and provides a framework for sound strategy development and strategic decision-making.

Anchor Stockholder Outreach and Engagement

We view our relationship with stockholders as a critical part of our corporate governance profile. Among other things, proactive engagement with our stockholders helps us to understand expectations for our performance, maintain transparency, and shape corporate governance and executive compensation policies.

| Each year, we launch two main outreach efforts, one in the spring in conjunction
with proxy season and one in the fall. Our independent directors are also available to engage with stockholders, either directly or as part of our regular stockholder engagement program. In 2022, we contacted all institutional
stockholders who owned at least 0.15% of our aggregate outstanding shares of common stock (as of June 30, 2022), representing approximately 63% of outstanding shares of our common stock, and engaged with all stockholders who responded
to our invitation to discuss corporate governance, executive compensation and ESG matters. This led to focused discussions with the stockholders who accepted our invitation, which gave us valuable feedback on key issues and specific
elements of our programs. Stockholder feedback is reported to and discussed with our Board and relevant committees. |
| --- |
| In recent years, stockholder feedback has supported a range of
actions, including setting specific, objective long-term ESG targets including GHG emissions net intensity reductions and improvements in the diversity of our workforce, enhancing ESG disclosures and developing an annual ESG report
cadence, including SASB and GRI-aligned reporting, incorporating ESG factors into our long-term business strategy, and increasing the proportion of incentive compensation linked to ESG factors and, in 2022, adding performance shares
tied to achievement of our public GHG net intensity reduction goal to the executive compensation program. We also acted upon feedback on topics such as Board gender diversity and refreshment and proxy access. The CLD Committee’s
introduction of measures tied to ROIC, major project execution and GHG net intensity emissions reduction into the performance share program aligns with feedback from stockholders that measures should tie to key drivers of long-term
stockholder value. |
| We believe our proactive engagement approach has resulted in constructive feedback
and input from stockholders and we intend to continue these efforts. |

Anchor Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Board has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines and the Code in accordance with NYSE corporate governance standards. We believe our Code aligns with our purpose statement of “We Pursue a Higher Standard” by expecting all of our directors, officers and employees to seek and deliver a higher standard of honesty, ethics and integrity in every aspect of our business and throughout our organization. Copies of our Corporate Governance Guidelines and Code (which was refreshed in 2022) are available on the Corporate Governance page of our website, www.coeur.com/company/corporate-governance/ , and to any stockholder who requests them. To the extent required under applicable rules, we have previously provided, and intend to provide in the future, amendment information to these documents and any waivers from our Code by posting to our website.

Anchor ESG (1)

At Coeur, We Pursue a Higher Standard by striving to uphold our core values:

Our Board is actively engaged in and oversees our ESG efforts. Overall responsibility for providing oversight of the Company’s commitment to ESG matters and initiatives sits with the EHSCR Committee; however, each of the other Board committees has oversight responsibilities for various ESG matters. This oversight is supported by a governance structure which includes executive-level accountability and an ESG steering committee to guide our strategies and direction, and monitor our progress, and a cross-functional ESG working group which helps shape strategies and alignment throughout the organization, as well as consistent and transparent measurement, monitoring and reporting on ESG matters.

In 2022, management’s discussions with the Board included, among other topics, our ESG materiality assessment results, climate strategy and scenario analysis, the process and data supporting our GHG emissions net intensity reduction goal, engagement with and responsibilities to local communities (including Indigenous communities), environmental, health and safety performance, tailings governance, human capital management, culture, diversity, equity and inclusion, key investor and stakeholder priorities and current and emerging ESG trends. Additionally, the Board participated in an extended greenhouse gas emissions and climate educational session during 2022. We formally designated executive accountability for ESG matters with the appointment of Casey Nault as our Chief ESG Officer in February 2022.

► Building on our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion initiatives through synchronous and asynchronous trainings and increasing the diversity of our summer interns to foster an inclusive workplace that supports diversity and reflects the communities where we operate; and

► Continuing to engage with stockholders about ESG issues so that our initiatives, priorities and reporting are aligned with the information that is important to them.

Environment

Coeur remains committed to best-in-class environmental performance. We Protect our environment, Develop plans that guide responsible mineral production and Deliver environmental best practices.

In our 2021 ESG Report, we strengthened our GHG emissions net intensity reduction target to a 35% reduction in net intensity by end of 2024 compared to base-year, tied to executive compensation, and included initial disclosures in line with TCFD recommendations. In 2022, we built on these efforts by conducting scenario analysis workshops and energy diagnostics at each site and advancing climate-related financial modeling. For 2023, we plan to advance our GHG emissions reduction initiatives at each site and have linked achievement of specific projects to the annual incentive programs. The results of the scenario analyses are being incorporated into business planning and will continue to inform our strategy moving forward.

Coeur also advanced several significant environmental initiatives to reduce and mitigate risk, improve performance, and deliver continuous growth through environmental best practices. We continued our focus on optimizing environmental stewardship programs through our growth strategy involving:

► Being recognized for operating responsibly through demonstrated performance that can proudly be shared externally;

► Applying a formal company-wide environmental management system that establishes stewardship standards related to water, biodiversity, waste, mine closure, tailings, pollution prevention, energy and emissions integrated with external community engagement;

► Leveraging risk management processes that solidly characterize risks and sustain higher level mitigation controls that reduce exposures to manageable levels to avoid harm to the environment; and

► Deploying integrated monitoring systems with real time operational status, control limits, and automated controls where possible to prevent environmental excursions.

Coeur also advanced externally led assessments of our current state against the Global Industry Standard on Tailings Management (GISTM). The gap assessments will be used to establish a baseline condition, develop action plans, and to create a roadmap and timeline to conform with the GISTM.

Our compensation programs are aligned with our commitment to environmental performance. In 2020, the CLD Committee increased the portion of the AIP opportunity tied to environmental performance (which has been a part of our compensation program, with significant weightings, for over a decade) from 7.5% to 10%. The weighting criteria was retained through 2022 as well and involved two critical environmental measures, sustaining zero permit discharge exceedances and reducing the occurrence of significant spills by 25%. Both goals were achieved in 2022. In addition to these enterprise-level environmental goals, similar environmental-focused incentive metrics were also in place at our operations to reward success tied to environmental performance and protection. To further underscore the strategic importance of achieving our climate goals and promote executive accountability, the CLD Committee, on recommendation of the EHSCR Committee, approved tying 20% of our 2022 performance share award to achievement of our public GHG emissions net intensity reduction goal.

More information about our environmental strategies and performance is available in our annual ESG Report accessible on the Responsibility section of our website (http://www.coeur.com/responsibility/responsibility-overview/). As noted above, the information on our website and in the reports is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part of this Proxy Statement or incorporated into any other filings we make with the SEC.

Health and Safety

At Coeur, we believe in cultivating a culture of safety among our employees and contractors that includes enhancing processes to reduce exposure to unsafe situations and promoting well-being. Whether it is exposure to physical injury or illness, the health and safety of our workforce, their families, contractors and the communities where we operate remains a core value and top priority. We are proudly certified under the CORESafety® program through the National Mining Association (“NMA”) and received recertification in 2021 following a comprehensive external audit. Our safety strategy is focused on upstream approaches that control, eliminate or reduce exposure to incidents for employees and others. We strive for continuous improvement and collaboration by engaging all levels of the workforce.

Our strong safety culture and sustained health and safety efforts and focus resulted in significant year-over-year improvements in worker safety. We reduced companywide employee and contractor TRIFR, a key safety measure in our industry, by 17.7% measured on a 3-year rolling average, exceeding our 2022 target of a 7.5% reduction. Demonstrating alignment of our key health and safety priorities with incentive compensation, this TRIFR reduction goal was one of the performance metrics of our 2022 AIP, with a 10% weighting. Our 2022 performance of 0.43 injury incidents per 200,000 hours worked is over 150% lower than both the industry average published by the Mine Safety and Health Administration (“MSHA”) of 1.45 1 and our injury rate in 2013, furthering our long-term trend in health and safety improvement at Coeur. In addition, our operations ranked among the lowest for LTIFR and TRIFR in 2022 as compared to U.S. mining peers, as reported by MSHA.

Communities

Coeur aims to contribute to the long-term economic viability of and leave a lasting positive legacy in the communities across all locations where Coeur maintains a presence. We have built positive relationships with the communities near where we work and live, and our efforts, together, are seeking to create lasting positive impacts beyond the life of our mines.

In 2022, Coeur advanced its community relations strategy and met its publicly stated goal of implementing a grievance mechanism at each site. The purpose of the mechanism is to provide accessible and effective means for communities, groups and stakeholders to raise and resolve external complaints in a fair, timely and proactive manner, while not limiting their ability to seek remedy through other mechanisms. Additionally, the Company continued to mature its community relations programs at each site through implementation of tailored community relations management plans and tools to better manage stakeholder relationships.

Coeur recognizes and respects the unique culture and history of Indigenous peoples and ejidos who live where we work and operate, and other stakeholders. We are committed to fostering open and honest communication and establishing long-term mutually beneficial relationships with local Indigenous and ejido communities. Ongoing engagement includes an update on operations and progress against stated commitments, solicitation of community feedback and discussion of opportunities to further the goals laid out in agreements. Our three sites with formal agreements, Palmarejo, Kensington and Silvertip, participate in annual meetings, at a minimum, with their Indigenous and ejido partners.

Palmarejo has agreements with five ejidos located in 15 communities throughout the Chinipas and Guazapares municipalities. Ejidos are groups of people that communally own land, and traditionally they jointly lived on and farmed the land. The agreements provide rent paid for land use and support for these communities through scholarships, elderly care, food and other activities.

Silvertip and Kensington have formal agreements with local Indigenous peoples. In addition to extensive engagement through formal channels and informal relationships, the agreements provide for employment, training and contracting opportunities and Indigenous-owned business development.

We are proud that in 2022, 67% of our total workforce, including 63% of new hires at our operating mines were from local communities, up from 56% of new hires in 2021, expanding our direct and indirect positive economic impact in our communities. In 2022, we continued regular engagement with stakeholders and Indigenous peoples across local communities and partnered with organizations to meet identified needs. As we aim to contribute to long-term prosperity in the communities near our operations, Coeur prioritizes investment in local education and workforce development. Each of our locations contributed through high school student summer hires, internships, apprenticeships, sponsored trainings, endowment contributions and/or scholarships. In 2022, we provided 74 apprenticeships and internships across our locations.

More information on corporate responsibility strategies and performance is available in our annual ESG Reports accessible on the Responsibility page of our website. The information on our website and in the reports is not, and shall not be deemed to be, a part of this Proxy Statement or incorporated into any other filings we make with the SEC.

Anchor Human Capital Management

Effective human capital management at Coeur is critical to achieving our strategic goals and driving long-term value for our stockholders. We seek to recruit employees who embody our purpose statement and leadership principles through safe and ethical conduct.

Our purpose statement, We Pursue a Higher Standard and our leadership principles are the foundation we use to navigate employee success:

We promote safety first, proactively develop our people and foster a diverse and inclusive culture. We invest in evaluating and developing our talent by providing meaningful feedback and training and believe that transparent, robust succession planning allows for progression and career growth, positioning the next generation of leaders to be ready to step up when needed. We believe retention and development offerings such as above-market rewards and experiential training are competitive advantages. We deliver high-quality jobs and career opportunities to our local communities and educate the next generation about careers in mining at Coeur. Our pledge to support the CEO ACTION for Diversity & Inclusion initiative publicly affirms Coeur’s existing practice to promote and maintain equity among all employees.

Robust Succession Planning

From the operations to the boardroom, we conduct robust succession planning throughout the organization annually, by employing specific talent diagnostics and skill development needs. High potential performers and diversity discussions along with action plans are reviewed with leadership on a quarterly basis. Our Board oversees the recruitment, development and retention of our senior executives. Significant focus is placed on succession planning both for key executive roles and also deeper into the organization. In-depth discussions occur multiple times per year in meetings of the Board, CLD Committee and NCG Committee, including in executive sessions to foster candid conversations. Directors have regular and direct exposure to senior leadership and employees during Board and committee meetings and through other informal meetings and events held during the year.

Culture Assessment

We are focused on regular evaluation of our culture. In 2021, we invited all employees to participate in our second culture assessment by completing an anonymous survey. Employee participation in 2021 included 93% of our total workforce, exceeding industry benchmarks and improving significantly over the 64% participation in our original survey in 2019, and feedback was reviewed by the management team and our Board of Directors. Leadership at each of our operations facilitated discussions to gain additional insight into the survey feedback. Highlights of the 2021 survey results demonstrated our employee felt engaged, safe, ethical and proud.

In 2022, we focused on the execution of action plans created as a result of the feedback from the 2021 culture survey. Each operation, including our corporate headquarters, created a detailed action plan after reviewing the survey's numeric results, over 1000 employee comments and conducting employee round tables. Actions addressed varied from improving cafeteria conditions to creating a career progression ladder for employees to better see how to develop in their career at Coeur. The next culture survey will be conducted in 2023.

| Employee Development — Recognizing the critical value of our human capital, we invest
in the development of our employees at all levels of the organization. Our pipeline programs, leadership training, tailored development plans and executive assessments provide our employees with resources to achieve their career
aspirations and provide Coeur with the human capital needed to execute our strategy. We provide opportunities for employees to participate in IMPACT Training, an intensive year-long training program we created for front-line supervisors
throughout our organizational structure to focus on safety leadership and mining as a business. Through IMPACT training, we have invested over 22,124 cumulative hours of leadership training and personal development in almost
200 employees. |
| --- |
| In 2022, the executive leadership team engaged an external coach to help with
feedback and development. Individual development plans were created for each executive, shared with the Board and progress against those plans were considered when determining their individual AIP achievements. |

| In April 2019, our CEO, Mitchell J. Krebs, signed the CEO Action for Diversity
& Inclusion pledge as a commitment to advance diversity, equity and inclusion within the workplace. Since then, we have participated in collaborative initiatives with member signatories and have increased internal training and
conversations around diversity, equity and inclusion. This pledge highlights Coeur’s continuing commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive workforce, evidenced by programs such as Coeur Heroes that as of 2022 has provided over 80
career opportunities to current and former US Military personnel. Fifty percent of our Board members have indicated that they are diverse (gender or ethnic). While we continue to increase our overall female population, over 60% of our
female employees are in supervisor or higher-level positions. Partnerships with organizations like the National Society of Black Engineers and Women in Mining are providing further avenues for recruiting diverse talent. Our EEO-1 report for 2021 is available on our website at https://www.coeur.com/responsibility/social/default.aspx and we plan to continue to make our annual EEO-1 reports
available on our website. |

Local Hires

Investing in our local communities extends beyond financial support. In 2022, 67% of our total employee population were from local communities and 63% of our new hires were local. We provided over 50 apprenticeships and internships across our locations in 2022.

Partnerships with groups such as By the Hand Club in Chicago educate youth in local communities about career opportunities in mining. Providing career opportunities to local community members and participating in community initiatives creates a closer connection between our operations and local stakeholders and communities.

Rewards & Employee Wellbeing

As part of our fundamental need to attract and retain talent, we regularly evaluate our compensation, benefits and employee wellness offerings. We have determined that our average employee earns over 40% more than the average employee in their local markets according to industry benchmarking. Over 94% of U.S. employees are enrolled in our medical benefit plan, and over 90% of U.S. employees contribute to our 401(k) plan. Supplemental healthcare is provided above government requirements in both Canada and Mexico. We were a leader in the mining industry by providing domestic partner benefits in 2017 and participation has increased 150% since introduction. In 2022, we expanded our paid parental and primary caregiver leave policies for US employees.

Anchor Compensation Consultant Disclosure

The CLD Committee retained Semler Brossy for the 2022 compensation year to provide information, analyses and advice regarding executive and director compensation, as described below. Semler Brossy is a compensation consulting firm specializing in executive compensation consulting services and reports directly to the CLD Committee.

Semler Brossy provided the following services for the CLD Committee during 2022 and early 2023:

► Evaluated our executive officers’ base salaries, annual incentive and long-term incentive compensation, and total direct compensation relative to the competitive market;

► Advised the CLD Committee on executive officer target award levels within the annual and long-term incentive program and, as needed, on actual compensation actions;

► Assessed the alignment of our executive compensation levels relative to our compensation philosophy;

► Briefed the CLD Committee on executive compensation trends among our peers and the broader industry; and

► Evaluated our non-employee director compensation levels and program relative to the competitive market.

At the CLD Committee’s direction, Semler Brossy provided the following additional services for the CLD Committee during 2022 and in early 2023:

► Advised on the design of our annual and long-term incentive awards, including the inclusion of ESG metrics, described in the CD&A; and

► Assisted with the preparation of the CD&A for this proxy statement.

In the course of conducting its activities, Semler Brossy attended all six meetings of the CLD Committee during 2022 and presented its findings and recommendations for discussion.

The decisions made by the CLD Committee are its responsibility and may reflect factors and considerations other than the information and recommendations provided by Semler Brossy or any other advisor to the CLD Committee. Semler Brossy reported directly to the CLD Committee following its appointment as the Committee’s independent consultant and provided no services during such time to Coeur other than executive and nonemployee director compensation consulting services at the direction or with the consent of the CLD Committee. Semler Brossy has no other direct or indirect business or relationships with Coeur or any of its affiliates and no current business or personal relationships with members of the CLD Committee or our executive officers. In addition, in its agreement with the CLD Committee, Semler Brossy agreed to inform the Chair of the CLD Committee if any potential conflicts of interest arise that could cause Semler Brossy’s independence to be questioned, and not to undertake projects for management except at the request or with the prior consent of the CLD Committee Chair and as an agent for the CLD Committee.

In March 2023, the CLD Committee considered the following six factors with respect to Semler Brossy: (i) the provision of other services to Coeur by Semler Brossy; (ii) the amount of fees received from Coeur by Semler Brossy, as a percentage of the total revenue of Semler Brossy; (iii) the policies and procedures of Semler Brossy that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest; (iv) any business or personal relationship of Semler Brossy with a member of the CLD Committee; (v) any Coeur stock owned by Semler Brossy; and (vi) any business or personal relationship of Semler Brossy with any of our executive officers. After considering the foregoing factors, the CLD Committee determined that Semler Brossy was independent and that the work of Semler Brossy with the CLD Committee for the 2022 compensation year did not raise any conflicts of interest.

Anchor Risk Oversight

The Board has a comprehensive and multi-faceted approach to risk oversight. The Board is responsible for overseeing the principal risks facing Coeur. It is also responsible for overseeing the implementation by management of appropriate systems to identify, report and manage the principal risks of Coeur’s business, including but not limited to:

Management succession planning Strategic asset portfolio optimization
Major project execution ​ESG risks, including climate change and related transitional and physical risks
Cybersecurity Commodity price volatility
Public policy and regulatory changes Balance sheet management and access to capital

The Board takes an active approach to its role in overseeing the development and execution of the Company’s business strategies as well as its risk oversight role. This approach is bolstered by the Board’s leadership and Committee structure, which is designed so that the full Board properly considers and evaluates potential risks under the guidance of the Chairman of the Board and further considers and evaluates certain risks at the Committee level.

As part of our regular policy review process, the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer updates our governance policies and sponsors regular employee trainings to underscore the importance of continued strong risk oversight. In addition, the Board annually evaluates the operation and effectiveness of the Board of Directors, its Committees and the Chairman of the Board. That evaluation includes consideration of whether the Board has examined the key risks to the Company’s strategy and business plan.

While the Board has overall responsibility for Company risk, the Board has delegated oversight of certain categories of risk to the Audit Committee, the EHSCR Committee, the CLD Committee and the NCG Committee with the aim that they are treated with appropriate expertise, attention and diligence, with reporting to the Board on a regular basis. In addition, our Board plans to constitute a new committee, the Finance and Strategic Investment Committee, following the 2023 Annual Meeting, which will have responsibility for overseeing and reviewing the Company's financial position, strategy, plans and programs, including any financial risk mitigation practices, as well as capital allocation.

In performing their oversight responsibilities, each of these committees periodically discusses with management and provides guidance regarding our policies with respect to risk assessment and risk management and reports to the Board regularly on matters relating to the specific areas of risk the committee oversees. Each Committee has the ability to engage independent advisors.

Throughout the year, as part of its strategic risk management oversight, the Board and relevant committees conduct a number of reviews, receive reports from and engage with management regarding major risks and exposures facing Coeur and the steps management has taken to monitor and control such risks and exposures. The Board also dedicates a portion of each meeting to reviewing and discussing specific risk topics in greater detail and providing input and counseling management on risk mitigation and compliance enforcement, including:

► A comprehensive annual review of the Company’s overall strategic plan, with updates throughout the year;

► Ongoing Audit Committee updates from senior management on cybersecurity activities and programs, including quarterly briefing on the Company’s plans and strategies to address cybersecurity threats;

► Ongoing reviews of succession plans, as part of its responsibility for leadership succession planning for the Company’s most senior officers, including the CEO;

► Review of the Company’s strategic supply chain operations, key risks, and programs to further increase resilience;

► Review of the Company’s key legal and compliance risks, including mitigation strategies and compliance priorities; and

► Periodic review of Company’s key ESG-related risks, such as environmental compliance and stewardship, community relations and social license to operate, and diversity, equity & inclusion, with more detailed reviews conducted by the relevant committees.

For a comprehensive list of the risk factors affecting our business, please refer to the “Risk Factors” section of our most recent Form 10-K and MD&A.

Anchor Cybersecurity Oversight

Our management team takes a holistic and proactive approach to managing the cybersecurity risks inherent in all deployments of technology in our business. Cybersecurity is overseen by our Board and Audit Committee, and regular engagement with the Board and Audit Committee on this topic reflects the dynamic and fast-changing landscape of cybersecurity risk. The Senior Director of Cybersecurity provides cybersecurity updates to the Audit Committee at each regular quarterly meeting, and the Board receives a comprehensive update on cybersecurity risks and mitigation strategies at least annually. We seek to mitigate cybersecurity risk through a multipronged approach:

► Awareness – Educating employees about their role in protecting against cyberattacks through regular trainings that prepare employees to identify and address cybersecurity risks

► Technology – Deploy leading technology to protect our networks and defend against attacks

► Investment – Invest in proactive mitigation strategies

► Planning – Develop and maintain robust response plans to deal with cyberattacks of all magnitudes

► Global Policy – Develop and enforce cybersecurity policies and controls consistently across the organization

TABLE OF CONTENTS

We continue to apply and enhance prevention, detection and response programs related to security threats. In recent years, we have enhanced cybersecurity through formation of a cross-functional committee composed of key members of the management team, refreshed and improved our cybersecurity incident response plan, conducted a simulated cybersecurity incident response tabletop exercise, implemented multi-factor authentication for information technology devices used by our employees and upgraded our virtual private network. We have initiated a stronger cybersecurity culture and greater awareness of cybersecurity risks by implementing mandatory awareness training for all employees. We also maintain a cybersecurity insurance policy that plays an integral part in our cybersecurity response plan and provides that we have technical, legal and forensic resources at our disposal should we experience a major cybersecurity breach. Coeur has not had any reportable cybersecurity breaches.

Anchor Compensation and Leadership Development Committee Role in Risk

The CLD Committee conducts an annual analysis of the current risk profile of our compensation programs, including a review of the primary design features of our compensation programs and the process for determining executive and employee compensation. This annual exercise has identified numerous ways in which our compensation programs are structured to mitigate risk, including:

► the structure consisting of both fixed and variable compensation that rewards both annual and long-term performance;

► the balance between long- and short-term incentive programs, with greater weight placed on long-term programs;

► the use of caps or maximum amounts in our incentive programs;

► the use of multiple performance metrics under our incentive plans;

► a heavier weighting toward overall corporate performance for cash-based incentive plans;

► time-based vesting for equity-based awards (including performance share awards) to promote retention; and

► strict and effective internal controls.

In addition, Coeur has a clawback and forfeiture policy providing for the recovery, repayment or recoupment of incentive payments to (i) executive officers (as defined under SEC rules) in certain instances involving financial restatements and (ii) Company officers in certain circumstances involving misconduct, which further mitigates risk. The CLD Committee, together with the Board, oversees the administration of the clawback and forfeiture policy, including any policy amendments as may be required under applicable SEC and stock exchange rules. Based on this review the CLD Committee concluded that our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us.

Anchor Compensation and Leadership Development Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of the members of the CLD Committee during 2022 or as of the date of this proxy statement is or has been an officer or employee of Coeur, and no executive officer of Coeur served on the compensation committee or board of any company that employed any member of the CLD Committee or Board during that time.

Anchor Audit Committee Policies and Procedures for Pre-Approval of Independent Auditor Services

The Audit Committee has policies and procedures requiring pre-approval by the Audit Committee of the engagement of our independent auditor to perform audit services, as well as permissible non-audit services. The nature of the policies and procedures depend upon the nature of the services involved, as follows:

Service Description
Audit Services The annual audit services engagement terms and fees are subject to the specific
pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit services include the annual financial statement audit, required quarterly reviews, subsidiary audits and other procedures required to be performed by the auditor to form an opinion on our
financial statements, and such other procedures including information systems and procedural reviews and testing performed in order to understand and place reliance on the systems of internal control. Other audit services may also
include statutory audits or financial audits for subsidiaries and services associated with SEC registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC or used in connection with securities offerings.
Audit-Related Services Audit-related services are assurance and related services that are reasonably
related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements or that are traditionally performed by the independent auditor. Audit-related services are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee.
Audit-related services include, among others, due diligence services relating to potential business acquisitions/dispositions; accounting consultations relating to accounting, financial reporting or disclosure matters not classified as
audit services; assistance with understanding and implementing new accounting and financial reporting guidance from rulemaking authorities; financial audits of employee benefit plans; agreed-upon or expanded audit procedures relating to
accounting and/or billing records required to respond to or comply with financial, accounting or regulatory reporting matters; and assistance with internal control reporting requirements.
Tax Services Tax services are subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. The
Audit Committee will not approve the retention of the independent auditor in connection with a transaction the sole business purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported by the Internal
Revenue Code and related regulations.
All Other Services Pre-approval by the Audit Committee is required for those permissible non-audit
services that it believes are routine and recurring services, would not impair the independence of the auditor and are consistent with the SEC’s rules on auditor independence.

Our Chief Financial Officer is responsible for tracking all independent auditor fees against the budget for such services and reports at least annually to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee Chair has been delegated pre-approval authority to address any approvals for services requested between Audit Committee meetings.

Audit Committee Report

The Audit Committee, which consists of Linda L. Adamany (Chair), Sebastian Edwards, Jeane L. Hull and Eduardo Luna, is governed by its charter, a copy of which is available on the Corporate Governance page of our website http://www.coeur.com/company/corporate-governance/. The Board has determined that Linda L. Adamany is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of rules adopted by the SEC. All of the members of the Audit Committee are “independent” as defined in the rules of the SEC applicable to audit committee members and the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

The Audit Committee assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities to stockholders with respect to our independent auditors, our internal audit function, our corporate accounting and reporting practices, and the quality and integrity of our financial statements and reports. The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the work of our independent auditors and internal audit function.

The Audit Committee discussed with our independent auditors the scope, extent and procedures for the 2022 audit. On a quarterly basis, the Audit Committee meets separately with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, without management present, and the Company’s internal auditors, to discuss the results of their audits and reviews, the cooperation received by the auditors during the audit examination, their evaluations of the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting, and the overall quality of the Company’s financial reporting. The Committee also meets separately with the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and General Counsel quarterly and with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer from time to time. Following these separate discussions, the Audit Committee meets in executive session.

The Audit Committee is also responsible for establishing procedures for the receipt, retention and treatment of complaints we may receive regarding accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, including the confidential, anonymous submission of complaints by our employees, received through established procedures, of concerns regarding questionable accounting or auditing matters. Reference is made to the Audit Committee’s charter for additional information as to the responsibilities and activities of the Audit Committee.

Management is primarily responsible for our financial statements, reporting process and systems of internal controls. In ensuring that management fulfilled that responsibility, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Discussion topics included the quality and acceptability of accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments, including impairments, the clarity of disclosures in the financial statements, and an assessment of the work of the independent auditors.

The independent auditors are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of the audited financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles. The Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with the independent auditors their judgments as to the quality and acceptability of our accounting principles and such other matters as are required to be discussed under applicable standards of the PCAOB and the SEC. In addition, the Audit Committee received from the independent auditors the written disclosures and the letter as required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent auditors’ communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, discussed with the independent auditors their independence from us and our management, and considered the compatibility of non-audit services with the auditors’ independence.

Grant Thornton LLP reported to the Audit Committee that:

► there were no disagreements with management;

► it was not aware of any consultations about significant matters that management discussed with other auditors;

► no major issues were discussed with management prior to Grant Thornton LLP’s retention;

► it received full cooperation and complete access to our books and records;

► it was not aware of any material fraud or likely illegal acts as a result of its audit procedures;

► there were no material weaknesses identified in its testing of our internal control over financial reporting; and

► there were no known material misstatements identified in its review of our interim reports.

Proposal No. 2:
Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for
2023
What am I voting for?
Ratifying the selection of Grant Thornton LLP as the independent auditor of our
consolidated financial statements and our internal control over financial reporting for 2023

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP

The Audit Committee, which consists entirely of independent directors, is recommending approval of its appointment of Grant Thornton LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. Grant Thornton LLP served as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for each fiscal year beginning with the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, and Grant Thornton LLP’s tenure was considered by the Audit Committee in its assessment of Grant Thornton LLP’s independence.

As a matter of good corporate governance, a resolution will be presented at the Annual Meeting to ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of Grant Thornton LLP to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2023. Representatives of Grant Thornton LLP are expected to be present virtually at the Annual Meeting and will have the opportunity to make a statement, if they desire to do so, and are expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

The Board has put this proposal before the stockholders because the Board believes that seeking stockholder ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm is good corporate practice. If the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP is not ratified, the Audit Committee will evaluate the basis for the stockholders’ vote when determining whether to continue the firm’s engagement.

Anchor Anchor CD&A Summary

Anchor Who We Are

Coeur Mining, Inc. is a U.S.-based, well-diversified, growing precious metals producer with four wholly-owned operating mines: the Palmarejo gold-silver complex in Mexico, the Rochester silver-gold mine in Nevada, the Kensington gold mine in Alaska and the Wharf gold mine in South Dakota. In addition, the Company wholly owns the Silvertip silver-zinc-lead exploration project in British Columbia and has interests in several precious metals exploration projects throughout North America.

Anchor Our Strategy

Coeur’s strategy is to be America’s premier, growing provider of precious and critical minerals from a balanced, prospective asset base located in mining friendly jurisdictions and underpinned by leading ESG practices.

Anchor 2022 Macroeconomic Environment

Our business is highly dependent on the market prices of gold and silver, commodities that are actively traded and frequently experience significant price volatility. Macroeconomic conditions during 2022 and the three-year period from 2020-2022 significantly impacted our business results, stockholder returns and, as a result, executive compensation.

Despite challenging market conditions in 2022, U.S. equity markets posted strong overall gains over the three years ended December 31, 2022. Through 2020 and 2021, major indices such as the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 repeatedly registered record highs. During the same three-year period, London Bullion Market Association gold and silver prices increased 20% and 33%, respectively. Despite the overall price appreciation, both metals experienced significant volatility, weakening significantly in the first half of 2020 to multi-year lows before outperforming during the second half of 2020.

Period-high prices for gold and silver were registered in August 2020 and February 2021, respectively, supported by unprecedented levels of global fiscal and monetary stimulus as well as growing geopolitical risks and economic uncertainty in response to COVID-19.

As the first table below shows, Coeur’s and its peers’ (1) stock prices generally moved in tandem with gold and silver prices during this three-year period. Due to a variety of factors, Coeur’s stock price tends to be more highly levered to changes in metals prices than our peers, which means that in times of rising metals prices, Coeur’s stock tends to outperform peers, but also has a tendency to underperform peers in times of weakening metals prices (e.g., in the first half of 2020 and the second half of 2021). Relative underperformance of Coeur stock in the second half of 2021 was also impacted by the hawkish stance of the U.S. Federal Reserve as well as inflationary pressures impacting capital requirements (and perceived liquidity availability) for the Company’s POA 11 expansion project. Relative underperformance of Coeur stock may also be attributable to Coeur's differentiated strategy of elevated investment in value-creating expansion projects and exploration creating near-term headwinds on our stock price.

Company Performance During 2022, the Company continued to operate safely and responsibly, achieve strong production levels, advance key strategic initiatives while maintaining capital and cost discipline and strengthen our core asset portfolio. Our multi-year, peer-leading exploration investment strategy resulted in another year of reserve replacement at each of our operating mines. Our performance is further highlighted below. Solid contributions from our diversified, North American core asset base led to Coeur’s achievement of consolidated production guidance for the third consecutive year

2022 Highlights
CONTINUED STRONG ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH & SAFETY RESULTS AND LEADERSHIP Coeur’s commitment to Pursue a Higher Standard led to another year of improved safety and environmental performance. We continued a multi-year trend of companywide reduction in employee and contractor TRIFR, realizing a nearly 18% reduction on a three-year trailing average basis. We
also had zero permit discharge exceedance events in 2022 and reduced significant spills by nearly 30% YOY. In 2022, we introduced a performance share metric tied to achievement of our public GHG emissions net intensity reduction goal
STRONG OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE Coeur achieved consolidated full-year production guidance for both gold and silver
for the third consecutive year, producing 330,346 gold ounces and 9.8 million silver ounces.
ROCHESTER EXPANSION ON TRACK FOR MID-2023 COMPLETION Construction at Rochester is scheduled to be completed mid-year 2023 with
commissioning to follow in the second half of 2023. At the end of 2022, the project was 74% complete. Approximately $605 million of the estimated capital had been committed, and $494 million of the estimated capital cost had been
incurred. Total project capital remains at $650 - $670 million.
COMMITMENT TO CORE ASSET PORTFOLIO We completed several transactions that underscore our commitment to our core
assets, including the sale of the La Preciosa, Crown and Sterling holdings for aggregate upfront cash consideration of approximately $165 million, as well as the sale of our Victoria Gold position (a portion occurring in early 2023) for
net cash proceeds of approximately $80 million in the aggregate
RESOURCE EXPANSION AND MINE LIFE EXTENSION The 2022 exploration program drove increases in proven and probable reserves at
every operating mine, and more than offset depletion across the portfolio. Reserve additions at Kensington added approximately a year and a half to its mine life

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Anchor Executive Compensation Program Philosophy

Our executive compensation program aligns with our strong pay-for-performance philosophy and ties a substantial portion of executive compensation to the achievement of annual and long-term strategic objectives. The objectives of our executive compensation program are to:

► Drive performance against critical strategic goals designed to create long-term stockholder value

► Pay our executives at a level and in a manner that attracts, motivates and retains top executive talent

We believe these compensation objectives directly drive achievement of our long-term strategic objectives, including continuous improvement and leadership in safety and environmental performance, lowering costs, increasing cash flow, increasing reserves and resources and completing major expansion projects on time, on budget and delivering intended results.

We analyze target total direct compensation (base salary, target annual incentive, and target equity award value) relative to our peers. Specific individual opportunities are established based on factors such as an executive’s scope and breadth of roles performed, experience in the position, performance and other factors deemed relevant by the CLD Committee. The CLD Committee formally reviews and evaluates every pay action versus the 25th, 50th and 75th percentile of peers, but does not tie individual compensation decisions to specific target percentiles.

Our compensation program is designed to include multiple elements with varying characteristics which allows us to retain strong talent and reward performance for achievement of both short-term and long-term goals. The CLD Committee regularly assesses the appropriate mix of these compensation elements in consultation with an independent compensation consultant and through interviews with our Board members and management, review of external perspectives from investors and analysts and peer benchmarking.

Site leadership and certain members of the corporate management team receive restricted shares under the LTIP that vest over a three-year period, promoting alignment with long-term stockholder value. Members of the executive and senior leadership teams, senior directors and site leadership receive performance shares under the LTIP that vest over a three-year period. All employees participate in our AIP or a similar cash incentive program with operational, safety and environmental metrics designed to promote the success of our business and which vary based on the role of the employee:

► Corporate employees support the goals and objectives of our NEOs and participate in the AIP with the same metrics as our NEOs, along with an individual performance component.

► Leadership and managers at our operations participate in the AIP, modified to promote the achievement of site-specific goals aligned with overall Company strategy, including the execution of key projects and a significant component tied to safety and environmental performance, with those goals and projects forming part of the Company’s broader comprehensive strategy to create long-term stockholder value.

► Hourly employees at our operations participate in cash incentive programs designed to drive achievement of core operational performance and site-specific goals, such as production, safety and environmental goals, which are key to our business of producing precious metals safely and responsibly.

Similar to our NEO compensation program, our compensation programs at all levels of the Company are intended to attract and retain talented employees who can drive achievement of our strategic objectives while supporting our core values and culture. To that end, we regularly benchmark with industry peers and, where appropriate, the general market, to ensure we are offering competitive compensation and appropriate premiums for remote and camp assignments in line with industry standards.

Anchor Results of 2022 Stockholder Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

At our 2022 Annual Meeting, we received support from over 95% of votes cast on the Company’s “say-on-pay” proposal, the fifth straight year in which we received at least 90% support for the “say-on-pay” proposal. We believe this high level of support reflects an understanding by our stockholders of how our executive compensation practices are aligned with creation of long-term stockholder value, and the changes that our CLD Committee has made to our executive compensation practices in recent years in alignment with stockholder feedback. Our CLD Committee considered our 2022 “say-on-pay” proposal result as part of the overall context for its 2022 executive compensation decisions, but did not make any changes to the executive compensation program directly as a result of the “say-on-pay” vote.

Anchor Select Compensation Program Changes for 2022 and 2023

In 2022, our AIP generally maintained the same structure. For the 2022 LTIP, in alignment with our climate goals and responsive to stockholder feedback and priorities, we introduced a performance share metric, weighted at 20% of the total performance share award, tied to achievement of our public GHG emissions net intensity reduction goal by the end of 2024. The 20% weighting for this GHG-linked award was re-allocated from other measures: 5% each from ROIC and Reserves and Resources (with each having 30% weighting in 2022 compared to 35% in 2021), and removal of the Silvertip project-based award, in light of the CLD Committee’s determination to defer any further Silvertip-based awards until a new project plan is approved. For 2023, (i) we re-allocated our AIP metrics and weightings and added scorecards for strategic initiatives and ESG and (ii) our LTIP performance share awards will be tied to two metrics (ROIC and reserve and resource growth) and we updated our rTSR peer group index and methodology, as described below.

Anchor Competitive Market Assessment

The CLD Committee annually reviews the compensation of executives relative to the competitive market, based on assessments prepared by its independent compensation consultant. In preparing this assessment, our compensation consultant analyzes publicly disclosed compensation data from our peer group (see “Peer Group” below). The consultant also uses specific industry surveys as a supplement to proxy research. Management, together with the consultant, assists the Committee by providing data, analyses and recommendations regarding the Company’s executive compensation practices and policies.

Anchor 2022 Peer Group

The CLD Committee establishes peer groups to help make executive pay decisions and to measure TSR against our competitors. Our peer group for 2022 is listed below and consisted solely of precious metals and mining companies with revenues generally between 0.3 and 3.0 times our revenues which are predominately headquartered in North America. The Company’s peer group for 2022 remains the same as the 2021 peer group, except for the removal of Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd., which was acquired by Agnico Eagle Mines Limited in early 2022. For 2023, the CLD Committee added Dundee Precious Metals Inc., Equinox Gold Corporation and Fortuna Silver Mines Inc. to the executive pay peer group and has determined to use the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index (GDMNTR) as the Company’s peer group index solely for purposes of relative TSR calculation.

Anchor Anchor 2022 Executive Compensation – Realized and Realizable Pay

Our NEO compensation program is structurally designed to be a strong performance-based program. In the case of the CEO, 81% of his target compensation is performance-based or “at-risk”, and only 19% is fixed, delivered through base salary.

Actual Pay Compared to Target

To manage the performance-based and “at-risk” compensation program, which includes AIP, PSUs and restricted stock, we evaluate NEO compensation by examining the target value of compensation (the value on date of grant) and the actual value received (the value on date of receipt by the NEO). We believe that by understanding each of these values in relation to Company performance, we can establish and verify a strong pay-for-performance relationship that is both motivational and retentive.

Target Value . The three-year target value for performance and “at-risk” elements is equal to (1) the 2020-2022 target annual incentive, plus (2) the grant date target value of PSUs for the 2020-2022 performance period, plus (3) the target value of restricted stock granted in 2020, 2021 and 2022. This is shown in the bar chart below. The CEO’s target value of compensation for “at-risk” and performance-based elements was $6,878,750 for the 2020-2022 performance period.

Actual Value . The three-year actual value is equal to (1) the 2020-2022 actual annual incentive earned, plus (2) the value of the PSUs for the 2020-2022 performance period that paid out in early 2023, valued as of December 30, 2022, the last date of the performance period, plus (3) the value of restricted stock granted in 2020, 2021 and 2022, valued as of December 31, 2022, including shares not yet vested. The CEO’s actual value of compensation from performance-based and “at-risk” elements was $4,610,113, 33% lower than the target value. The chart does not include base salary since it is not variable, “at-risk” or performance-based.

Alignment with Performance . During the three-year 2020-2022 period, our CEO received 33% lower than target for performance-based “at-risk” elements of our compensation program. During this same period, our stock price decreased by 58%. We believe this demonstrates alignment of pay and performance.

Realizable Pay

Realizable pay measures the compensation value that could be realized by executives over a given time period, taking into account the change in Company stock price during that time and whether performance shares are earned based on achievement of performance targets.

The following graph illustrates three-year realizable total compensation for our CEO at December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2022. The one-year difference between compensation values (an 18% YOY decline), particularly due to realizable long-term compensation calculated using a $5.04 stock price as of December 31, 2021 and a stock price of $3.36 as of December 31, 2022, is significant and is in line with negative 33% TSR for 2022.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The three-year realizable total compensation value for each period is calculated using (1) actual base salary and cash incentive paid for the applicable year, (2) the value of target performance shares payable and actual performance shares issued for the three-year period then ended, valued as of December 31, and (3) the value of restricted stock granted for the three year-period then ended, valued as of December 31, including shares not yet vested.

Alignment with Performance . TSR was negative 33% for 2022 and our CEO’s realizable pay was 18% lower at December 31, 2022 as compared to December 31, 2021. We believe this also demonstrates alignment of pay and performance.

Annual Incentive Plan 2022 AIP: Target Levels Consistent with Market and Experience in Role; No YOY Change in Opportunity %

Our AIP is designed to drive creation of stockholder value through achievement of annual financial, operational and strategic goals. We also reward executives other than the CEO for the achievement of individual goals within their functional areas, living up to our values and showing their commitment to our purpose statement: We Pursue a Higher Standard .

AIP Target Opportunities

Under our AIP, each executive has a target award opportunity expressed as a percentage of base salary established at the beginning of each year. 2022 target award percentage opportunities remained consistent year over year and were determined based on desired market positioning, the individual executive’s role, scope of responsibility and ability to impact our performance.

Named Executive Officer Target AIP Opportunity (% of Salary)
2022
Mitchell J. Krebs 125%
Thomas S. Whelan 100%
Michael Routledge 100%
Casey M. Nault 100%
Emilie C. Schouten 75%

Actual awards can range from 0% to 200% of the target award, based on our Company performance relative to corporate AIP objectives and the performance of each individual executive (other than the CEO) relative to individual goals. The CEO’s AIP opportunity is based 100% on corporate objectives. Because mine plans drive our budgets, and mine plans vary year-to-year in terms of tonnage, grade and other factors, from time to time our related performance targets for a given year may be lower than the prior year and may not appear to reflect improvement or increased rigor over the prior year. For example, when a mine plan is moving through a lower grade zone, despite strong execution, lower production, higher unit costs and lower adjusted EBITDA compared to the prior year may occur. We strive to increase average overall grade over the long-term, but the grades of mineralized material are inherently variable and a life of mine involves mining through zones of higher and lower grade. Our annual operational and financial goals and targets are designed to reflect year-over-year variances in our mine plans.

2022 Company AIP Performance Measures and Weights

At the beginning of each year the CLD Committee approves AIP performance measures, weightings and targets, along with threshold, target and maximum performance and payout levels, based on the Board-approved budget and internal forecasts. These goals and targets are designed to be rigorous and require strong execution in-line with budget and other critical objectives. After the end of the year, the CLD Committee reviews performance against the goals prior to certifying results and approving payouts. Once the performance measures and goals are set, they are not subject to change for that plan year without the specific approval of the CLD Committee.

The 2022 AIP corporate performance measures complement the measures used for performance share awards in driving achievement of multi-year strategic initiatives directly aligned to the creation of long-term stockholder value. The CLD Committee selected the 2022 AIP metrics shown below based on the following considerations and objectives:

► Align with our business objectives and strategic priorities;

► Transparency to investors and executives;

► Incentivize profitable production growth, not growth for growth’s sake;

► Balance financial and operational performance; and

► Reflect our commitment to safe and environmentally responsible operations.

(1) Payouts for each measure are 50% for “Minimum”, 100% for “Target” and 200% for “Maximum”. Payouts are interpolated for performance between minimum and maximum.

(2) Our CAS per silver ounce and gold ounce metrics each measure performance against a target based on the Board-approved budget set at the beginning of the year. In setting the goal and evaluating performance against it, items that arise during the year that were not contemplated by the budget, including variances between the actual realized metals prices and budget prices, whether having a positive or negative impact, are not factored into the calculation in order to ensure a consistent assessment of performance against budget. Please see “Appendix A – Certain Additional Information” for reconciliations of GAAP to non-GAAP financial measures included in this section.

(3) Our adjusted EBITDA metric measures performance against a target based on the Board-approved budget set at the beginning of the year. In setting the goal and evaluating performance against it, items that arise during the year that were not contemplated by the budget, including variances between actual realized metals prices and budgeted prices, whether having a positive or negative impact, are not factored into the calculation in order to ensure a consistent assessment of performance against budget.

(4) Safety performance metrics are measured using a three-year trailing average. The three-year average for the current period (2020-2022) is compared with the three-year average for the prior period (2019-2021). The CLD Committee determined that a three-year average is a better representation of performance and removes periodic variability. The CLD Committee has discretion to adjust payout for significant adverse events outside of the prescribed metric.

(5) TRIFR performance covers both employees and contractors working at the Company’s sites.

(6) A permit discharge exceedance means an event or upset operational condition where a chemical constituent was discharged in effluent to a receiving water body or other environmental media at a concentration not within a specified numeric concentration in our operating permit.

(7) Significant spills means spills or releases exceeding certain volumetric thresholds that have been standardized across our operating sites to hold all sites accountable to a strict standard regardless of local jurisdiction standards. A volume labeled significant for this purpose does not mean that the volume posed any significant harm to the environment or was immediately reportable under applicable regulatory standards.

Individual AIP Objectives

In addition to Company metrics, specific individual objectives are developed for each executive other than the CEO at the beginning of the year. 2022 AIP award percentages based on individual performance were 20% for Messrs. Whelan, Nault and Routledge, and 30% for Ms. Schouten, reflecting an emphasis on specific human capital management and culture-related goals. The specific objectives for each executive support our strategic objectives, reflect each executive’s individual responsibilities, and can be grouped into the following broad categories:

► Major project and operational execution, including strategic transformation and growth

► Mitigation of risk

► Enhancement of each executive’s responsibilities

► Support of Coeur’s values regarding worker safety and health, social, environmental and corporate responsibility

► A commitment to the talent development and retention of our employees

► Continued personal development and adherence to Company culture and behavior

As noted above, the CEO’s AIP is based entirely on corporate performance. Individual performance for other NEOs ranged from 125%-135% of target as shown in the table below.

For 2022, based on Company and individual NEO performance achievement as a percentage of target and the performance weights described above, the CLD Committee approved the following annual incentive payments to the NEOs. 2022 AIP payouts were significantly higher YOY for the NEOs reflecting increased achievement of corporate goals (94% vs 48% of target) and strong individual performance. At the request of Mr. Nault, the CLDC approved delivering his 2022 AIP payout in the form of fully-vested shares of Coeur common stock under the LTIP, net of withholding taxes.

Anchor Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards

The primary purpose of our long-term equity incentive awards is to align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders by rewarding executives for creating long-term stockholder value. Long-term incentives also assist in retaining our executive team.

2022 Grants of Long-Term Incentive Compensation

Consistent with prior years, in 2022 executive awards were composed of 60% performance shares and 40% restricted stock. The CLD Committee believes that this mix provides alignment with stockholder interests and balances incentive and retention objectives, while minimizing share dilution.

Target long-term incentive award values for each executive in 2022 were determined based on desired market positioning, the individual executive’s role, scope of responsibility and ability to impact overall Company performance.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

The number of shares of restricted stock granted in 2022 was determined by dividing the total grant value by the average closing price per share of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange over the 60 trading days ending on the trading day after the CLD Committee approved the awards. The CLD Committee has determined that this approach is appropriate to smooth out volatility in daily stock price changes, which can be significant and materially impact the number of shares granted from day to day.

2022 Restricted Stock Grant

In 2022, restricted stock represented 40% of the target long-term equity incentive award value granted to NEOs. Restricted stock aligns executives’ interests with those of stockholders via actual share ownership, and vesting requirements promote retention and continuity in our senior leadership team. Restricted stock also provides value to the executives even with a declining share price, which may occur due to general market or industry-specific forces that are beyond the control of the executives (for example, a drop in the market prices of gold and silver). Holders of restricted stock may, if the CLD Committee so determines, receive dividends, if any, and exercise voting rights on their restricted stock during the period of restriction. Restricted stock grants generally vest ratably over three years beginning on the first anniversary of the grant.

The following diagram illustrates the design and structure of the restricted stock awards.

In 2022, performance shares represented 60% of the target long-term incentive award value. To the extent they are earned based on achievement of performance goals, awards are generally settled in Coeur stock. The performance share opportunity granted in 2022 was tied to Company achievement of four internal goals that drive creation of long-term stockholder value. Performance against these goals generally is measured over a three-year performance period ending December 31, 2024.

► Three-Year Return on Invested Capital – 30% of 2022 Performance Share Opportunity

Coeur’s management team is focused on deploying capital efficiently and effectively to drive long-term returns for stockholders. In 2020, the CLD Committee introduced the three-year ROIC metric as a core element of our performance share program and this metric continued to be used for the 2022 Performance Share grants. The ROIC metric reflects feedback from stockholders and aligns with our plan design philosophy that performance share metrics should tie to key drivers of long-term stockholder value. ROIC is determined by dividing three-year adjusted EBIT from our four operating assets (Palmarejo, Rochester, Kensington and Wharf) by investment in those assets during the performance period. EBIT for the three-year performance period is calculated by adding depreciation, depletion, asset retirement obligation accretion and inventory adjustments to cumulative adjusted EBITDA for the performance period. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure presented in our financial statements used by management to understand results from our business. Investment for each operating mine is equal to Total Debt plus total equity of the entity that owns the mine minus cash held by the entity. Investment will be measured at the beginning of the performance period and at the end of each of the three calendar years of the performance period, and the final result will be the average of these four numbers. In addition, EBIT will be calculated by holding pricing constant, using the prices incorporated in the Company’s strategic plan, to hold management accountable for achieving the intended benefits of our capital investments as presented for Board approval without benefiting from or being penalized by changes in metals prices, which are beyond our control.

The target for the ROIC metric is tied to achieving returns on investment for operating mines set out in our 2022 updated mine plans, with maximum performance tied to our 2022 updated strategic plan because the strategic plan represents an "upside" case which assumes, among other factors, the conversion of a significant portion of resources into reserves. Accordingly, for the 2022-2024 performance period, the CLD Committee approved the following performance and payout targets:

Payout Target 25% 50% 75% 100% 125% ​150% 175% 200%
Performance Target 5% 8% 10% 15% 17% 19% 21% 22%

A new operation acquired during the performance period will be incorporated on a pro forma basis if returns from the operation are expected to begin during the performance period, in which case investment in the operation, for purposes of calculating ROIC, will be incorporated pro rata with the expected returns to avoid penalizing the calculation by including the full amount of the investment. Similarly, in the event of a divestiture of a mine included in the ROIC metric during the performance period, the CLD Committee will exclude the divested asset from the calculation and adjust the target accordingly. In the event the Board approves a capital project with respect to an operating asset after the commencement of the performance period and the expected return on that project is not expected to be delivered during the performance period, the CLD Committee will exclude the impact of that project from the ROIC calculation. Finally, in the event of an impairment in an operating asset during the performance period, the total investment for the relevant operation will not be reduced by the impairment amount for purposes of calculating ROIC.

► Three-Year Growth in Reserves and Resources – 30% of 2022 Performance Share Opportunity

Growth in reserves and resources is critical to replace ounces mined each year and grow resources to extend mine lives, which we believe will drive stockholder value. Reserves and resources may also decline due to falling metals prices, as previously economic grades are rendered uneconomic. This further aligns performance with stockholders. Reflecting different levels of confidence based on category of reserve or resources, growth in reserves and resources is measured on a gross basis, weighted as follows to reflect varying levels of confidence for each category:

► proven and probable reserves - 100%

► measured and indicated resources - 75%

► inferred resources - 50%

Reserves and resources are calculated on an AgEqOz basis with equivalence to be determined based on assumed prices for gold, silver, lead and zinc on December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2024 to calculate reserves and resources. Targets will automatically adjust to exclude any discontinued operations or other sold assets during the measurement period (which, in the case of 2022, would reflect the disposition of the La Preciosa and Sterling/Crown projects). In addition, because the primary intent of the award is to drive reserve and resource growth through exploration, the CLD Committee may exercise discretion to exclude the impact of reserves and resources added through mergers and acquisitions.

► Project-Based Award: Rochester Mine POA 11 Expansion – 20% of 2022 Performance Share Opportunity

The POA 11 expansion project at the Rochester mine is expected to transform Rochester into a cornerstone asset for the Company by significantly increasing annual silver and gold production, more than doubling planned annual crusher throughput capacity. Completion of the project is expected to significantly increase Rochester’s mine life and cash flow. The CLD Committee created a performance share opportunity linked to this project to further align the compensation of our NEOs with the success of a project that is expected to unlock significant long-term value for our stockholders. The POA 11 expansion project award measures achievement of target AgEqOz production levels from the new Stage VI leach pad constructed as part of POA 11 in 2024, the first full year following completion and commissioning of POA 11. Each NEO must also meet continued service requirements through the three year performance period before receiving a payout of performance shares. The CLD Committee retains discretion to award PSUs below the maximum value of the milestones in cases of milestone performance below expectation.

► Achievement of GHG Net Intensity Reduction Goal – 20% of 2022 Performance Share Opportunity

In alignment with our climate goals and responsive to stockholder feedback and priorities, in 2022 we introduced a performance share metric, weighted at 20% of the total performance share award, tied to achievement of our public GHG emissions net intensity reduction goal of a 35% reduction by 2024. The achievement of this goal is largely tied to the Company’s successful completion, ramp up and execution of the POA 11 expansion project at Rochester. Large, complex projects like the POA 11 expansion are inherently challenging and many factors can impact the anticipated outcomes, some of which are outside of our control. If we are unable to achieved planned crushing rates in 2024, it would have a significant impact on our ability to achieve our GHG net intensity reduction goal. We continue to pursue several other initiatives outside of the POA 11 expansion project that contribute to GHG net intensity reductions, including pursuit of clean power at our grid-connected operations, engaging in government relations efforts to extend power lines to our remote sites as well as other site-based projects identified through energy diagnostics.

Performance Target 20% Reduction 25% Reduction 30% Reduction Target 35% Reduction 40% Reduction 45% Reduction 47.5% Reduction 50% Reduction

TSR Modifier

Awards paid out for achievement of one or more of the above performance share metrics for the 2022-2024 performance period will be subject to a TSR modifier which will adjust the payout +/-25% for TSR performance in the top or bottom quartile, respectively, of our peer group. Performance is measured using the average of the last 60 trading days of 2021 compared to the last 60 trading days of 2024. By including TSR as a modifier instead of a primary metric, the CLD Committee has sought to increase NEO focus on the drivers of TSR. Additionally, the inclusion of TSR as a modifier maintains alignment with stockholders by ensuring top and bottom quartile results materially impact payout.

Anchor Payouts for 2020-2022 Performance Shares

The 2020-2022 performance shares paid out at 55% of target reflecting growth in reserves and resources and achievement of Rochester and Silvertip project-related goals, offset by zero payout under the ROIC metric, and less 25% due to the rTSR modifier impact. The tables below illustrate our performance for the share award opportunity covering the 2020-2022 performance period.

  • Mr. Routledge’s 2020 performance shares will be awarded on June 3, 2023 due to three-year vesting schedule and his joining the Company in June 2020.

Timing of Long-Term Incentive Awards

The CLD Committee typically approves annual long-term incentive grants to our executives in the first quarter. The CLD Committee has adopted a policy of calculating restricted stock and performance share grant prices based on a 60-trading day trailing average basis, and awards are not timed with the release of material, non-public information.

Anchor Benefits and Perquisites

The primary purpose of providing benefits and limited perquisites to our executives is to provide a market-competitive total compensation package to attract and retain executive talent. The CLD Committee intends the type and value of benefits and perquisites offered to be market competitive. Details of the benefits and perquisites provided to our NEOs are disclosed in the “All Other Compensation” column of the 2022 Summary Compensation Table set forth in this proxy statement.

Anchor Termination of Employment/Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangements

Executive and Officer Severance Policies; CEO Employment Agreement

We maintain an Executive Severance Policy to have a uniform program and reduce the number of individual employment and change-in-control agreements with executive officers. All NEOs are covered by this policy, other than Mr. Krebs, whose severance and change-in-control benefits are covered in an employment agreement. Under the Executive Severance Policy and CEO employment agreement, as applicable, each NEO is covered by an arrangement to provide certain benefits payable in the event of qualifying terminations of employment in connection with a change-in-control. The CLD Committee believes that these arrangements provide reasonable compensation in the unique circumstances of a change-in-control that is not provided by our other compensation programs. The CLD Committee believes change-in-control benefits, if structured appropriately, minimize the distraction caused by a potential change-in-control transaction and reduce the risk of key executives resigning from Coeur before a change-in-control transaction closes. The CLD Committee also believes that these provisions motivate executives to make decisions in the best interests of stockholders should a transaction take place by providing executives with the necessary job stability and financial security during a change-in-control transaction (and the subsequent period of uncertainty) to help them remain focused on managing the Company rather than on their own personal employment. The CLD Committee believes that all of these objectives serve the stockholders’ interests.

Under the Executive Severance Policy and CEO employment agreement, as applicable, each NEO is also entitled to certain benefits payable in the event of qualifying terminations of employment not in connection with a change-in-control. The CLD Committee believes these arrangements enhance our ability to attract and retain executives by providing market competitive severance benefits for involuntary, not-for-cause terminations of employment.

Double-Trigger Change-in-Control Vesting Acceleration under LTIP

Our equity awards provide for “double-trigger” accelerated vesting of equity awards in connection with a change-in-control, which requires a qualifying termination of employment in addition to a change-in-control. The accelerated vesting of equity awards is described in additional detail in the section titled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-In-Control” as set forth in this proxy statement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Anchor Anchor Other Compensation Arrangements and Policies

The CLD Committee has established additional policies so our overall compensation structure is responsive to stockholder interests and competitive with the market. These specific policies are outlined below.

Anchor Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have adopted minimum stock ownership guidelines for executives who report to the CEO and non-employee directors as shown in the table below:

Position Stock Ownership Guideline
CEO 6x base salary
CFO/COO/GC 4x base salary
Other Executives 2x base salary
Non-Employee Directors 5x base annual director cash retainer

Unvested shares of time-vesting restricted stock or restricted stock units count toward satisfying the guideline, but unexercised stock options and unvested performance shares do not. Non-employee directors have the option to defer receipt of their annual stock retainer by receiving deferred stock units. The implied value of such deferred stock units counts toward satisfying the stock ownership guideline. Newly appointed executives and directors are subject to a 5-year phase in period to meet the applicable ownership requirements. The CLD Committee has determined that each director and executive has either met the applicable level of stock ownership required or is still within the compliance period under these guidelines, with the exception of Mr. Luna and Ms. McDonald (neither of whom has sold any shares of stock or restricted stock units since becoming directors). The CLD Committee determined that these directors made satisfactory efforts toward the applicable level of stock ownership and the shortfall is due to the decline in the Company's stock price in recent years.

Anchor Insider Trading and Hedging Policy

Our insider trading policy prohibits all employees and directors from engaging in hedging or other transactions with derivative securities tied to Coeur’s common stock. This prohibition applies to trading in Coeur-based put and call option contracts and transacting in straddles and similar transactions, except holding and exercising options or other derivative securities granted under Coeur’s equity incentive plans. The policy also prohibits directors and executive officers from holding Coeur securities in a margin account or pledging Coeur securities as collateral for a loan. Our insider trading policy also includes limitations on Rule 10b5-1 trading plans that are consistent with recently-approved SEC requirements.

Anchor Clawback and Forfeiture Policy

Coeur has adopted a clawback and forfeiture policy providing for the recovery of incentive compensation in certain circumstances. Under the policy, if the Board determines that there has been a restatement due to material noncompliance with a financial reporting requirement, then the Board will seek recovery of all incentive payments that were made to executive officers, and all performance-based equity awards granted to executive officers that vested, in each case, on the basis of having met or exceeded performance targets in grants or awards made after December 18, 2012 during the fiscal year prior to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K announcing the restatement, if the payments or vesting would have been lower had they been calculated based on the restated results, and if the relevant executive officers are found personally responsible for the restatement, as determined by the Board. The policy also allows the CLD Committee (or the Board in the case of the CEO) to cancel or require the repayment, recoupment or recovery of incentive payments or equity awards granted to any officer of the Company in the event of misconduct by such officer, including fraud, embezzlement, conduct that causes the Company significant reputational or financial harm, breach of Company policies, including the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and willful misconduct that results in a termination for cause. Coeur plans to update its policy to further align with SEC’s final clawback rules adopted in October 2022 and applicable NYSE rules.

Director Compensation

For 2022, outside directors received an annual retainer of $180,000, of which half was paid in cash and half was paid in common stock or, at the option of directors, deferred stock units. The Board maintains share ownership guidelines for directors, calling for directors to hold the equivalent of five times their annual base cash retainer in common stock or deferred stock units. The Company pays additional retainers to the independent Board Chairman and to each committee Chair, which were unchanged in 2022 compared to 2021. Mr. Krebs, our CEO, does not receive any compensation for his service as a director. Director fees are pro-rated for directors who serve for partial years. We do not pay meeting fees. Based on a review of market data and in consultation with Semler Brossy, the Board has increased the equity retainer component of 2023 director compensation by $10,000 to $100,000, for a total annual retainer of $190,000. The annual retainer was last increased for the 2014 compensation year.

No. 3:
Advisory Resolution to Approve Executive Compensation
What am I voting for?
We are asking our stockholders to vote on an advisory resolution to approve the
compensation paid to our named executive officers for 2022.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR the advisory resolution to approve executive compensation

Our 2022 compensation program reflects our pay-for-performance philosophy and alignment with stockholder returns. We continue to tie a significant portion of CEO and NEO compensation to both short and long-term Company performance objectives and executive compensation outcomes reflect this philosophy:

► AIP for the CEO and other NEOs for Company performance paid out slightly below target, including 94% achievement of corporate goals, reflecting strong environment, health and safety and production performance, offset by slightly higher unit costs and lower adjusted EBITDA than planned, and above-target payout of the individual component for all NEOs (other than the CEO, whose AIP is based solely on Company performance)

► Payout of performance shares to NEOs for the 2020-2022 performance share opportunity at 55% of target, reflecting: 0% payout for the ROIC metric, 139% payout for the growth in reserves and resources metric reflecting exploration success during the period, 75% and 100% payouts for the Rochester POA 11 and Silvertip metrics, respectively; offset by a 25% overall payout reduction under the relative TSR modifier due to stock price performance in the bottom quartile of our peer group for the period

► Actual three-year performance-linked compensation for the CEO was 33% lower than target, in line with a 58% decrease in our stock price over the same period and an 18% one-year decline in CEO realizable pay was in line with -33% one-year TSR , demonstrate alignment of pay with performance

We urge stockholders to read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” beginning on page 53 of this proxy statement, which details how our executive compensation policies and procedures are designed to achieve our compensation objectives, as well as the 2022 Summary Compensation Table and other related compensation tables and narrative, beginning on page 79 of this proxy statement, which provide detailed information on the compensation of our NEOs.

An advisory stockholder vote on the frequency of stockholder votes to approve executive compensation is required to be held at least once every six years. After considering the vote of stockholders at the 2017 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting and other factors, the Board determined to hold advisory votes on the approval of executive compensation annually until the next advisory vote on frequency occurs. As discussed in Proposal No. 4 below, the next advisory vote to approve executive compensation is expected to be held at the 2023 Annual Meeting.

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are asking stockholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the Annual Meeting:

RESOLVED, that the stockholders of Coeur Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s Named Executive Officers disclosed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the Summary Compensation Table and the related compensation tables, notes and narrative in the Proxy Statement for the Company’s Annual Meeting.

This advisory resolution, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay” resolution, is non-binding on the Board. Although non-binding, the Board and the CLD Committee will review and consider the voting results when making future decisions regarding our executive compensation programs.

Anchor Pension Benefits and Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

We do not maintain a defined benefit pension program. Effective February 1, 2014, Coeur established the Coeur Mining, Inc. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (“Deferred Compensation Plan”) for highly compensated employees. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows directors and eligible highly compensated employees the opportunity to defer, on a pre-tax basis, a portion of his or her director fees, base salary, and/or AIP award, as applicable, to a date in the future. Employees can defer 5%-75% of base salary and 5%-75% of AIP award amounts. Directors can defer 5%-75% of director fees. Coeur may also decide to make employer contributions to the account of a participant from time to time. Participants may designate investment funds in which deferred amounts are invested. The net gain or loss on the assets of any such investment funds is used to determine the amount of earnings or losses to be credited to the participant’s account. Each participant must elect the time and form of distribution of deferred amounts (together with any earnings or losses credited to such amounts). Subject to certain limitations in the Deferred Compensation Plan, participants elect the frequency of payments and the number of payments to receive at the time of distribution. Participants are always 100% vested in amounts deferred by the participant. Amounts contributed by Coeur to a participant’s account vest based upon a schedule or schedules determined by us and communicated to the participant.

Explanatory Notes:

(a) The amount in this column represents fiscal year 2022 deferred compensation, and such amount, if any, has been included in the amount, which is reported in the “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation Earnings” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

(b) The amount in this column is reported in footnote (d) to the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table as follows: for 2022, each of Mr. Krebs, Mr. Whelan, Mr. Routledge, Mr. Nault, and Ms. Schouten received an additional contribution from the Company into the Deferred Compensation Plan in the amount of $56,700, $19,875, $24,204, $18,735 and $13,669 respectively. These amounts were calculated based on 2022 earnings but distributed during the first quarter of 2023.

(c) The amount in this column is not included in the Summary Compensation Table because plan earnings were not preferential or above-market.

(d) The aggregate balances at last fiscal year-end reported in this table include the following amounts that were previously reported as compensation in the Summary Compensation Table of the Company’s proxy statements for prior years:

► during any two-year period, a majority of the members of the Board serving at the effective date of the change-in-control arrangement is replaced by directors who are not nominated and approved by the Board;

► a majority of the members of the Board is represented by, appointed by or affiliated with any Person who the Board has determined is seeking to effect a change in control of Coeur; or

► we are combined with or acquired by another company and the Board determines, either before such event or thereafter, by resolution, that a change in control will occur or has occurred.

The change-in-control arrangements provide that in the event the payment provided would constitute a “parachute payment” under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, the payment will be reduced to the amount that will result in no portion being subject to the excise tax unless such reduction would result in the executive receiving a lower payment than the executive would be entitled to receive and retain on a net after-tax basis if such amount was not reduced.

Severance and Change-in-Control Arrangement with Mr. Krebs

If Mr. Krebs is terminated by Coeur without cause or Mr. Krebs terminates his employment with Coeur for good reason not in connection with a change in control, Mr. Krebs would be entitled to the benefits described below:

► a lump sum equivalent to 2.75 times his base salary and target annual incentive plan award for the year in which the termination occurs; and

► continuation of health care benefits for Mr. Krebs and his dependents for up to one year following the termination.

If a change in control occurs, Mr. Krebs shall be entitled to the benefits described below upon a termination by Coeur without cause or by Mr. Krebs for good reason within the 90 days preceding or two years following the change in control:

► a lump sum equivalent to 2.75 times Mr. Krebs’s base salary and target annual incentive plan award for the year in which the change in control occurs; and

► continuation of health care benefits for Mr. Krebs and his dependents for up to two years following the change in control; and

► accelerated vesting of unvested grants of equity, as more fully described in the footnotes to the following table.

Explanatory Notes:

(a) Cash severance payments consist of 2.75 times for Mr. Krebs and 2.0 times for other executives, the sum of annual base salary plus target annual incentive opportunity.

(b) In the event of a qualifying termination not in connection with a change in control, NEOs receive continued payment of employee health care benefits or costs of benefits for up to 12 months. In the event of a change in control and a subsequent qualifying termination of employment within two years following the change in control, NEOs receive continued payment of employee health care benefits or costs of benefits for up to 18 months, except in the case of the CEO, in which case the benefits would be available for up to 24 months. This column represents the net present value of health plan benefits provided upon termination.

(c) Represents the value of any unvested stock options, restricted stock or other equity awards that were not vested as of the relevant date and whose vesting was accelerated.

► In the event of death or disability, all options, restricted stock grants, and performance share grants would vest 100%, with the performance shares vesting at target. The NEOs would have 12 months from the date of death or disability to exercise their options, except for nonqualified options granted prior to January 22, 2013 which permit up to three years to exercise in the event of disability.

► In the event of a qualifying termination of employment within 90 days prior to and up to two years following a change in control, the NEOs would have up to 12 months from termination to exercise their options, except for incentive stock options granted between January 22, 2013 and May 13, 2015, which permit up to two years to exercise, instead of the usual 3 months. Our equity awards are “double trigger” accelerated vesting upon a change-in-control, meaning stock options and restricted stock will vest 100%, and performance shares will vest pro-rata based on the actual performance achieved up to the date of the change in control, in each case only upon a qualifying termination within 90 days prior to and up to two years after the change in control. For purposes of the above disclosures, the pro-rata achievement of performance targets was estimated using the elapsed time in the performance period occurring prior to the hypothetical change in control, compared to the total length of the performance period.

(d) The severance payments will be reduced to keep the total payments from exceeding the cap imposed by the golden parachute rules of the Internal Revenue Service to the extent that such reduction will, on a net after-tax basis, provide the executive with a greater value than if no reduction was made and the executive paid any 280G-related excise tax payments. No values shown in the table have been reduced.

In the event of death or disability, no special benefits are provided other than the payment of any accrued compensation and benefits under the companywide benefit plans, and the accelerated vesting of equity grants discussed above. Upon an eligible retirement, the NEOs are entitled to accelerated vesting of equity identical to that occurring in the event of death or disability. None of the NEOs is currently eligible for retirement.

2022 Ratio of CEO Compensation to Median Employee Compensation

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following ratio of the annual total compensation of Mr. Krebs, our CEO, to the annual total compensation of our median employee. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.

For 2022, our last completed fiscal year:

| ► the annual total
compensation of our CEO, as reported in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table on page 79 of this proxy statement, was $3,905,654; and | ​ |
| --- | --- |
| ► the annual total
compensation of our median compensated employee (other than our CEO) was $55,306 | ​ |

To identify the median of the annual total compensation of all our employees, as well as to determine the annual total compensation of our median employee and our CEO, we took the following steps:

► We determined that, as of December 31, 2022, our employee population consisted of approximately 2,100 individuals with these individuals located in the United States, Canada and Mexico (as reported in Item 1, Business , in our Annual Report). This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, and temporary employees.

► To identify the “median employee” from our employee population, we compared the amount of total cash compensation reflected in our payroll records. Total cash compensation includes base salary or hourly wages paid during 2022, as applicable, and amounts paid during 2022 under our AIP and other cash bonus arrangements. We identified our median employee using this compensation measure, which was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation.

► Once we identified our median employee, we combined all of the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2022 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $55,306. The median employee’s total compensation for 2022 included a contribution of $2,729 to the account of the employee in the Company’s 401(k) Retirement Plan. The Company contributes an amount equal to 100% of up to the first 6% of an employee’s eligible compensation contributed in 2022.

► With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column of our 2022 Summary Compensation Table on page 79 of this proxy statement and incorporated by reference under Item 11 of Part III of our Annual Report.

  1. In all the years in question, Mitchell J. Krebs was our Chief Executive Officer.

  2. For performance-based awards, the fair value of equity awards in the “Compensation Actually Paid” or “CAP” columns is calculated using a Monte Carlo simulation valuation model as of the applicable year-end date(s), and in all cases based on volatility and risk free rates determined as of the revaluation date based on the expected life period and an expected dividend rate of 0 % and takes into consideration the probability of achievement as of each such date.

For the portion of CAP that is based on year-end stock prices, the following prices were used: 2022 $ 3.36 , 2021 $ 5.04 and 2020 $ 10.35 .

The following tables set forth the adjustments made during each year represented in the pay versus performance (“PVP”) table to arrive at CAP to our NEOs during each of the years in question:

PVP Descriptive Disclosure

We believe compensation actually paid, or CAP, in each of the years reported above in the PVP table and over the three-year cumulative period are reflective of the CLD Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance”, as CAP fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to our stock price performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under our AIP and LTIP Programs.

The following graphs compare CAP to (1) company and peer group TSR, (2) Net Income and (3) Adjusted EBITDA.

Proposal No. 4 :
Vote on an advisory resolution to approve the frequency of future advisory votes
to approve executive compensation
What am I voting for?
We are asking our stockholders to vote on an advisory resolution to approve how
frequently stockholders will be asked, on an advisory basis, to approve the compensation paid to our executive officers in the future.

The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR 1 YEAR

Pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, we are asking stockholders to vote on how often future advisory votes to approve executive compensation of the nature reflected in Proposal No. 3 above (a “say-on-pay” vote) should be included in the Company’s proxy materials for future annual stockholder meetings.

Pursuant to the vote of stockholders at the 2017 Annual Stockholders’ Meeting and other factors, the Board determined to hold advisory votes on the approval of executive compensation annually until the next advisory vote on the 2023 Annual Meeting.

Under this Proposal No. 4, stockholders may vote to continue having the say-on-pay vote every year, or every two years or three years. The Company believes that “say-on-pay” votes should be conducted every year so that stockholders may annually express their views on the Company’s executive compensation program. The CLD Committee, which administers the Company’s executive compensation program, values the opinions expressed by stockholders in “say-on-pay” votes and will continue to consider the outcome of these votes in making its decisions on executive compensation.

The 2023 Annual Meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 9, 2023, at 9:30 a.m., Central Time, and will be conducted solely in a virtual format. The health and well-being of our employees, Board members and stockholders is our top priority. The Annual Meeting will be conducted as a live audio webcast.

How Can I Access the Annual Meeting?

Stockholders can join the Annual Meeting by navigating to www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/cde2023. Online access to the audio webcast will begin approximately 15 minutes before the start of the Annual Meeting to allow time for you to log-in and test your device’s audio system. We encourage you to access the meeting in advance of the designated start time. Stockholders participating in the Annual Meeting will be able to vote their shares electronically during the Annual Meeting and may submit questions during the virtual event using the directions on the meeting website at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/cde2023. Technical support will be available prior to and during the meeting at virtualshareholdermeeting.com.

Will I Be Able to Participate in the Virtual Annual Meeting?

We have designed the format of the Annual Meeting so that stockholders are afforded the same rights and opportunities to participate as they would have at an in-person meeting. After the business portion of the Annual Meeting concludes and the meeting is adjourned, we expect to hold a Q&A session during which we intend to answer questions submitted during the meeting that are pertinent to the Company and the items being brought before the stockholder vote at the Annual Meeting, as time permits. Our responses to questions properly submitted will be made available to all stockholders on the Annual Meeting website promptly following completion of the Annual Meeting. The Q&A session will be conducted in accordance with the Rules for Conduct of Meeting, which will be available for review at the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/cde2023. Stockholders participating in the Annual Meeting will be able to vote their shares electronically during the Annual Meeting using the directions on the meeting website. To participate in the Annual Meeting, you will need the 16-digit control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice of internet availability. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank, trustee or other nominee, you may need to contact your broker, bank, trustee or other nominee for assistance with your 16-digit control number.

Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting? What is the Record Date?

All stockholders of record as of the close of business on the Record Date, March 15, 2023, are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof upon the matters listed in the Notice of Annual Meeting. Each stockholder is entitled to one vote for each share held of record on that date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, a total of 321,389,804 shares of our common stock were outstanding.

What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a stockholder who holds in street name?

If your shares of Coeur common stock are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A., you are a stockholder of record, and these proxy materials are being sent directly to you from the Company.

If your shares of Coeur common stock are held in “street name” meaning your shares of Coeur common stock are held in a brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, you are the beneficial owner of these shares, and these proxy materials are being forwarded to you by your broker, banker or other nominee, who is considered the stockholder of record with respect to such shares. As the beneficial owner of Coeur common stock, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote, and you will receive instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to vote your shares of Coeur common stock.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

How do I inspect the list of stockholders of record?

A list of the stockholders of record as of the Record Date entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for review on the virtual platform for the Annual Meeting. In addition, stockholders wishing to review the list of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting can make arrangements to do so by contacting our Investor Relations department at [email protected].

Why did I receive a notice in the mail regarding the internet availability of proxy materials?

In accordance with the rules of the SEC, instead of mailing to stockholders a printed copy of our proxy statement, Annual Report and other materials (the “proxy materials”) relating to the Annual Meeting, Coeur may furnish proxy materials to stockholders on the internet by providing a notice of internet availability of proxy materials (the “Notice of Internet Availability”) to inform stockholders when the proxy materials are available on the internet. If you receive the Notice of Internet Availability by mail, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you specifically request one. Instead, the Notice of Internet Availability will instruct you on how you may access and review all of Coeur’s proxy materials, as well as how to submit your proxy, over the internet. The proxy materials are available at www.proxyvote.com .

Will I get more than one copy of the notice or proxy materials if multiple stockholders share my address?

When multiple stockholders have the same address, the SEC permits companies and intermediaries, such as brokers, to deliver a single copy of certain proxy materials and the Notice of Internet Availability to them. This process is commonly referred to as “householding”. We do not participate in householding, but some brokers may for stockholders who do not take electronic delivery of proxy materials. If your shares are held in a brokerage account and you have received notice from your broker that it will send one copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or instruct your broker otherwise. If, at any time, you would prefer to receive a separate copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy materials, or if you share an address with another stockholder and receive multiple copies but would prefer to receive a single copy, please notify your broker. We promptly will deliver to a stockholder who received one copy of the Notice of Internet Availability or proxy materials as the result of householding a separate copy upon the stockholder’s written or oral request directed to our investor relations department at (312) 489-5800, Coeur Mining, Inc., 200 South Wacker Drive, Suite 2100, Chicago, IL 60606. Please note, however, that if you wish to receive a paper proxy card or other proxy materials for purposes of this year’s Annual Meeting, you should follow the instructions provided in the Notice of Internet Availability.

What does it mean to give a proxy?

The persons named on the proxy card (the “proxy holders”) have been designated by the Board to vote the shares represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. The proxy holders are officers of Coeur. They will vote the shares represented by each properly executed and timely received proxy in accordance with the stockholder’s instructions, or if no instructions are specified, the shares represented by each otherwise properly executed and timely received proxy will be voted “FOR” each nominee in Proposal No. 1 and “FOR” Proposals No. 2 and 3 and for “1 YEAR” for Proposal No. 4 in accordance with the recommendations of the Board as described in this proxy statement. If any other matter properly comes before the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the proxy holders will vote on that matter in their discretion.

How do I vote?

If you are a holder of shares of Coeur common stock, you can vote by telephone or on the internet 24 hours a day through 11:59 p.m. (Central Time) on the day before the Annual Meeting date using the telephone number or visiting the website listed on page 97 . If you are submitting a proxy for your shares by telephone or internet, you should have in hand when you call or access the website, as applicable, the Notice of Internet Availability or the proxy card or voting instruction card (for those holders who have received, by request, a hard copy of the proxy card or voting instruction card).

If you have received, by request, a hard copy of the proxy card or voting instruction card, and wish to submit your proxy by mail, you must complete, sign and date the proxy card or voting instruction card and return it in the envelope provided so that it is received prior to the Annual Meeting.

► by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in through the virtual platform (your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not by itself revoke your proxy);

► by submitting a later-dated proxy card;

► if you submitted a proxy by telephone or Internet, by submitting a subsequent proxy by telephone or internet; or

► if you are a beneficial owner of Coeur common stock and have instructed a broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares, you may follow the directions received from your broker, bank or other nominee to change or revoke those instructions.

How many shares must be represented in person or by proxy to hold the Annual Meeting?

A majority of the voting power of all issued and outstanding stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting, represented at the meeting in person or by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.

What is a broker non-vote?

A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee that holds shares on behalf of a street name stockholder does not vote on a particular matter because it does not have discretionary authority to vote on that particular matter and has not received voting instructions from the street name stockholder.

If you hold your shares in street name and do not provide voting instructions to the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, New York Stock Exchange rules allow, but do not require, the nominee to vote your shares on routine matters but not on non-routine matters. If you hold your shares in street name, it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count for non-routine matters as described in the table below. Broker non-votes and abstentions by stockholders from voting (including brokers holding their clients’ shares of record who cause abstentions to be recorded) will be counted towards determining whether or not a quorum is present. However, because broker non-votes and abstentions are not considered “votes cast” under Delaware law, they will have no effect on the approval of any matter. Ratification of auditors (Proposal 2) is the only matter that we expect to be routine that is up for stockholder vote at this Annual Meeting (and we expect that there should be no broker non-votes with respect to this matter). We urge you to promptly provide voting instructions to your broker to ensure that your shares are voted on all of the proposals, even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting.

Who will tabulate the vote?

Votes cast by proxy or at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed by us for the meeting.

Who bears the cost of this proxy solicitation?

We are soliciting proxies from stockholders on behalf of our Board and will bear the cost of soliciting proxies. Proxies may be solicited by directors, officers or regular employees in person or by telephone or electronic mail without special compensation. We have retained Morrow Sodali LLC, Stamford, Connecticut, to assist in the solicitation of proxies. Morrow Sodali LLC’s fee will be $8,000, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

Anchor Reserves and Resources

We are subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and applicable Canadian securities laws, and as a result we report our mineral reserves and mineral resources according to two different standards. U.S. reporting requirements, are governed by Item 1300 of Regulation S-K (“S-K 1300”), as issued by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Canadian reporting requirements for disclosure of mineral properties are governed by National Instrument 43-10 Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), as adopted from the definitions provided by the Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum. Both sets of reporting standards have similar goals in terms of conveying an appropriate level of confidence in the disclosures being reported, but the standards embody slightly different approaches and definitions.

In our public filings in the U.S. and Canada and in certain other announcements not filed with the SEC, we disclose proven and probable reserves and measured, indicated and inferred resources, each as defined in S-K 1300. The estimation of measured resources and indicated resources involve greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic feasibility than the estimation of proven and probable reserves, and therefore investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated resources will ever be converted into S-K 1300-compliant reserves. The estimation of inferred resources involves far greater uncertainty as to their existence and economic viability than the estimation of other categories of resources, and therefore it cannot be assumed that all or any part of inferred resources will ever be upgraded to a higher category. Therefore, investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of inferred resources exist, or that they can be mined legally or economically.
