The Board of Agnico Eagle believes that effective corporate governance contributes to improved corporate performance and enhanced shareholder value. The company’s governance practices are based on the Board’s evaluation of the best structure and process to achieve its goals considering the company’s particular circumstance. The company’s governance practices are subject to review and evaluation through the Corporate Governance Committee to ensure that, as the company’s business evolves, changes in structure and process necessary to ensure continued good governance are identified and implemented.

Agnico Eagle’s Board and management closely follow the developments in corporate governance requirements and best practices standards in both Canada and the United States. As these requirements and practices have evolved, the company has responded in a positive and proactive way by assessing its practices against these requirements and modifying, or targeting for modification, its practices to bring them into compliance with these corporate governance requirements and, where appropriate, best practices standards.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee has two primary objectives. The first is to advise the Board in its oversight responsibilities regarding: the quality and integrity of the company’s financial reports and information; compliance with legal and regulatory requirements; the effectiveness of the company’s internal controls for finance, accounting, internal audit, ethics and legal and regulatory compliance; the performance of the company’s auditing, accounting and financial reporting functions; the company’s cyber security program; the fairness of related party agreements and arrangements between the company and related parties; and the independent auditors’ performance, qualifications and independence. The second primary objective of the Audit Committee is to prepare the reports required to be included in the management information circular in accordance with applicable laws or the rules of applicable securities regulatory authorities.
