📬 How to Vote (The Process)
There are two types of shareholders, and the process differs:
- Registered Shareholders: You own shares directly in your name. You can vote online, by phone, by mail, or in person at the meeting. You should have received a Proxy form.
- Non-Registered (Beneficial) Holders: Your shares are held by a broker or bank. You will receive a Voting Instruction Form from your intermediary. You must follow their specific instructions to vote your shares. The deadline for you may be earlier than May 29.
👉 Why it matters: If you don't vote, your shares won't be counted. It's crucial to identify which type of shareholder you are and follow the correct instructions to have your say.

🧠 The Analogy
This entire document is like the agenda and rulebook for a school's annual parent-teacher association (PTA) meeting. It tells you when and where the meeting is, who is running for the PTA board, what big decisions will be voted on (like the budget or principal's contract), and gives you detailed instructions on how to cast your vote—whether you show up in person or submit an absentee ballot. The "Notice and Access" part is just the school saying, "We're saving paper; here's how to read the full packet online."
🧩 Final Takeaway
Shareholders of Endeavour Silver Corp. need to vote by May 29, 2026, on the election of eight directors and other routine business. The company is providing materials online to reduce costs, but you can request paper copies. The board slate includes a new nominee, George Paspalas, and reflects a strong focus on mining expertise and diversity.
