Item 5 – Full Description of Material Change

5.1 Full Description of Material Change
On March 31, 2026, the Company closed up to US$376 million in non-recourse project financing for the Pérez Caldera infrastructure project in Chile (the “Financing”). The Financing was arranged by Natixis, SMBC and BCI.

The Financing comprises up to US$344.8 million in term loans and up to US$31.4 million in debt service reserve letters of credit. The term loans bear interest at compounded daily SOFR plus a margin of 3.00% per annum, with scheduled quarterly amortization commencing October 15, 2027 and final maturity on October 15, 2030. The Financing is structured on a non-recourse basis to the Company, with debt service supported by contracted, inflation-linked project cash flows under the Pérez Caldera build-own-operate-maintain (“BOOM”) contract.

Natixis and SMBC are acting as Joint Lead Arrangers, Joint Bookrunners and Joint Global Coordinators. BCI is acting as Senior Mandated Lead Arranger. SMBC is serving as Administrative Agent.


The project's capital structure reflects a maximum debt-to-equity ratio of 82.75:17.25, consistent with the Company's stated approach to Infrastructure segment projects in which approximately 75–85% of project costs are financed through non-recourse project debt and the Company contributes the balance as sponsor equity.

About the Pérez Caldera Project

The Pérez Caldera project anchors the Company's Infrastructure segment. Awarded by Anglo American in December 2025, the project involves an integrated engineering, construction, financing and long-term operations and maintenance arrangement for dedicated infrastructure assets required to condition, remove and transport tailings material from the Pérez Caldera Tailings Dam at the Los Bronces operation in Chile.

The project represents a long-duration infrastructure contract with a high-quality global mining counterparty, resulting in increased consolidated backlog and supporting recurring revenue and cash flow visibility over the contract term.

Pérez Caldera represents the culmination of a deliberate strategy initiated with the 2022 launch of the Company's Engineering & Technology segment, which was undertaken with an explicit view toward enabling the Company's entry into long-duration, structured infrastructure delivery. The Infrastructure segment is expected to represent approximately 50% of consolidated EBITDA within the next 18 to 24 months, supporting improved earnings visibility and cash-flow durability.
