strong returns for shareholders,&#148; said Chairman of the Board, Tom Hamilton. &#147;We thank Howard Balloch for his years of leadership and service to Methanex. Howard has been instrumental as Chair of the Public Policy Committee and a valuable

financial review of the Geismar 3 project&#148; said President and Chief Executive Officer, John Floren. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">M&amp;G will withdraw its proxy circular and
proxy card in respect to the Meeting and has agreed to vote all of its shares in favour of the nominees recommended by the Company. M&amp;G has also agreed to a standstill arrangement through the 2020 annual general meeting of shareholders. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company has agreed with M&amp;G to continue its ongoing board refreshment process by selecting an additional director after the Meeting from a list to be
