Q.	How Do I Vote at the Wheaton Online Virtual Meeting?

A.	How to vote depends on whether you are a registered shareholder or non-registered shareholder.

Registered shareholders who want to attend the Meeting and vote online during the Meeting should not complete the form of proxy and should instead follow the instructions below:

Step 1: Log in online at https://web.lumiagm.com/152290879 at least 15 minutes before the Meeting starts. See “How Do I Join the Wheaton Online Virtual Meeting?” for further details.

Step 2: Click “I have a control number” and then enter your control number and password wheaton2021 (case sensitive) and complete an online ballot during the Meeting. The control number is located on the form of proxy or in the email notification you received from AST Trust Company (Canada).

If you use your control number to log into the Meeting and you have previously completed and submitted a proxy, there is no need to vote again as your vote has already been recorded. Any vote you cast at the Meeting will revoke any proxy you previously submitted.

Non-registered shareholders who wish to vote at the Meeting through the online virtual Meeting must insert their own name in the space provided on the voting instruction form received from the nominee. In so doing, such non-registered shareholder will be instructing its nominee to appoint such non-registered shareholder as proxyholder.

The control number is the non-registered shareholder’s username for the purposes of logging into the Meeting.

Q.	What if I am a non-registered shareholder and do not give voting instructions to my nominee?

If you are not attending the online virtual Meeting, as a non-registered shareholder, in order to ensure your shares are voted in the way you would like, you must provide voting instructions to your nominee by the deadline provided in the materials you receive from your nominee. If you do not provide voting instructions to your nominee, your shares may not be voted in accordance with your wishes.

Q.	What happens if the Meeting format, location, time or date needs to be changed in light of COVID-19?

We are committed to keeping you informed. We will notify shareholders of a change without sending additional soliciting materials or updating proxy-related materials by:

•

•

filing the news release on SEDAR; and

What if I am a registered shareholder and do not submit a proxy?

As a registered shareholder, if you do not submit a proxy prior to 48 hours before the Meeting (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) or you do not attend and vote at the online virtual Meeting or in person, your shares will not be voted on any matter that comes before the Meeting.

Who counts the votes?

A scrutineer, employed by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, AST Trust Company, will act as scrutineer and will count the votes and report the results to the Company.

What is an advisory vote on Say on Pay?

“Say on Pay” is a non-binding advisory resolution to accept the Company’s approach to executive compensation. The purpose of the Say on Pay advisory vote is to give shareholders a formal opportunity to provide their views on the executive compensation plans of the Company.

The advisory vote is non-binding on the Company and it remains the duty of the Board of Directors to develop and implement appropriate executive compensation policies for the Company. In the event that a significant number of shareholders oppose the resolution, the Board of Directors will endeavour to consult with its shareholders as appropriate (particularly those who are known to have voted against it) to understand their concerns and will review the Company’s approach to compensation in the context of those concerns. The Board of Directors will consider disclosing to shareholders as soon as is practicable, and no later than in the management information circular for its next annual meeting, a summary of any comments received from shareholders in the engagement process and any changes to the compensation plans made or to be made by the Board of Directors (or why no changes will be made). See “Special Matters – Say On Pay Advisory Vote” on page 91.

General Proxy Information

Solicitation of Proxies

This management information circular is furnished to the holders (the “shareholders”) of common shares (the “Common Shares”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management of Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“we”, “our”, “us”, “Wheaton” or the “Company”) for use at the annual and special meeting of shareholders (the “Meeting”) of the Company to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting. References in this management information circular to the Meeting include any adjournment or adjournments thereof. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, however, proxies may also be solicited personally by regular employees of the Company and the Company may use the services of an outside proxy solicitation agency to solicit proxies. The costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has fixed the close of business on March 19, 2021 as the record date, being the date for the determination of the registered holders of Common Shares entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting. Duly completed and executed proxies must be received by the Company’s transfer agent at the address indicated on the enclosed envelope no later than 10:30 a.m. (PST) on May 12, 2021, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of any adjourned Meeting (the “Proxy Deposit Date”). Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chair of the Meeting in his sole discretion, and the Chair is under no obligation to accept or reject any late proxy.

Unless otherwise stated, the information contained in this management information circular is as of March 22, 2021. All dollar amounts referenced herein, unless otherwise indicated, are generally expressed in Canadian dollars and referred to as “C$”. Amounts expressed in United States dollars are referred to as “US$”. Unless otherwise stated, any United States dollar amounts in this management information circular which have been converted from Canadian dollars have been converted at an exchange rate of C$1.00 = US$0.7854, the closing exchange rate for Canadian dollars in terms of the United States dollar, as quoted by the Bank of Canada on December 31, 2020.

Appointment and Revocation of Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy are officers or directors of the Company. A shareholder desiring to appoint some other person, who need not be a shareholder, to represent such shareholder at the Meeting, may do so by inserting such person’s name in the blank space provided in the enclosed form of proxy or by completing another proper form of proxy and, in either case, depositing the completed and executed proxy at the office of the Company’s transfer agent indicated on the enclosed envelope no later than 10:30 a.m. (PST) on May 12, 2021, or no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) before the time of any adjourned Meeting. Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chair of the Meeting in his sole discretion, and the Chair is under no obligation to accept or reject any late proxy.

A shareholder forwarding the enclosed proxy may indicate the manner in which the appointee is to vote with respect to any specific item by checking the appropriate space. If the shareholder giving the proxy wishes to confer a discretionary authority with respect to any item of business, then the space opposite the item is to be left blank. The Common Shares represented by the proxy submitted by a shareholder will be voted in accordance with the directions, if any, given in the proxy.

A proxy given pursuant to this solicitation may be revoked by an instrument in writing executed by a shareholder or by a shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing (or, if the shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney) and deposited either at the registered office of the Company (Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. c/o Cassels Brock & Blackwell LLP, 40 King Street West, Suite 2100, Toronto, Ontario M5H 3C2; Attention: Mark T. Bennett) at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or with the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting prior to the commencement of the Meeting or in any other manner permitted by law.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[10]

Exercise of Discretion by Proxies

The persons named in the enclosed form of proxy will vote the Common Shares in respect of which they are appointed in accordance with the direction of the shareholders appointing them. In the absence of such direction, such Common Shares will be voted in the discretion of the person named in the proxy. However, under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules, a broker who has not received specific voting instructions from the beneficial owner may not vote the Common Shares in its discretion on behalf of such beneficial owner on “non-routine” proposals, including the election of directors and items set out under “Special Matters” on page 91. Thus, such Common Shares will be included in determining the presence of a quorum at the Meeting and will be votes “cast” for purposes of other proposals but will not be considered votes “cast” for purposes of voting on the election of directors or other non-routine matters.

The enclosed form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the persons named therein with respect to amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters which may properly come before the Meeting. At the time of printing of this management information circular, management knows of no such amendments, variations or other matters to come before the Meeting. However, if any other matters which are not now known to management should properly come before the Meeting, the proxy will be voted on such matters in accordance with the best judgment of the named proxies.

Voting by Non-Registered Shareholders

Only registered shareholders of the Company or the persons they appoint as their proxies are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Most shareholders of the Company are “non-registered” shareholders (“Non- Registered Shareholders”) because the Common Shares they own are not registered in their names but are instead registered in the name of the brokerage firm, bank or trust company through which they purchased the Common Shares. Common Shares beneficially owned by a Non-Registered Shareholder are registered either: (i) in the name of an intermediary (an “Intermediary”) that the Non-Registered Shareholder deals with in respect of the Common Shares (Intermediaries include, among others, banks, trust companies, securities dealers or brokers and trustees or administrators of self-administered RRSPs, RRIFs, RESPs and similar plans); or (ii) in the name of a clearing agency (such as CDS Clearing and Depository Services Inc. or The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation) of which the Intermediary is a participant. In accordance with applicable securities law requirements, the Company is required to distribute copies of this management information circular and the form of proxy (which includes a place to request copies of the Company’s annual and/or interim financial statements and MD&A or to waive the receipt of the annual and/or interim financial statements and MD&A). In accordance with National Instrument 54-101 Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer, the Company has elected to deliver this management information circular to shareholders by (i) distributing a notification of meeting along with the form of proxy to the clearing agencies and Intermediaries (the “Mailed Materials”) for distribution to Non-Registered Shareholders; and (ii) posting this management information circular on the Company’s website (www.wheatonpm.com/Investors/annual-general-meeting/). See “Notice and Access” on page 12 for further information.

Intermediaries are required to forward the Mailed Materials to Non- Registered Shareholders unless a Non-Registered Shareholder has waived the right to receive them. Intermediaries often use service companies to forward the Mailed Materials distributed by the Company to Non-Registered Shareholders. Wheaton intends to pay for distribution to objecting Non-Registered Shareholders. Generally, Non-Registered Shareholders who have not waived the right to receive the Mailed Materials will either:

(a)

be given a voting instruction form which is not signed by the Intermediary and which, when properly completed and signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder and returned to the Intermediary or its service company, will constitute voting instructions (often called a “voting instruction form”) which the Intermediary must follow. Typically, the voting instruction form will consist of a one page pre-printed form. Sometimes, instead of the one page pre-printed form, the voting instruction form will consist of a regular printed proxy form accompanied by a page of instructions which contains a removable label with a bar-code and other information. In order for the form of proxy to validly constitute a voting instruction form, the Non-Registered Shareholder must remove the label from the instructions and affix it to the form of proxy, properly complete and sign the form of proxy and submit it to the Intermediary or its service company in accordance with the instructions of the Intermediary or its service company. See above “Exercise of Discretion by Proxies” for broker discretion in the absence of non-registered shareholder direction; or

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[11]

(b)

be given a form of proxy which has already been signed by the Intermediary (typically by a facsimile, stamped signature), which is restricted as to the number of Common Shares beneficially owned by the Non-Registered Shareholder but which is otherwise not completed by the Intermediary. Because the Intermediary has already signed the form of proxy, this form of proxy is not required to be signed by the Non-Registered Shareholder when submitting the proxy. In this case, the Non-Registered Shareholder who wishes to submit a proxy should properly complete the form of proxy and deposit it with the Company, c/o AST Trust Company (Canada), Attention: Proxy Department, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, Ontario, M1S 0A1 or by facsimile at (416) 368-2502.

In either case, the purpose of these procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares of the Company they beneficially own. Should a Non-Registered Shareholder who receives one of the above forms wish to vote at the Meeting in person (or have another person attend and vote on behalf of the Non-Registered Shareholder), the Non-Registered Shareholder should strike out the persons named in the form of proxy and insert the Non-Registered Shareholder or such other person’s name in the blank space provided. Appointed proxyholders should, if attending the virtual online Meeting, be registered as proxyholder with AST Trust Company (Canada) in order to receive a control number, as described under How Do I Vote at the Wheaton Online Virtual Meeting? and follow the instructions under How Do I Join the Wheaton Online Virtual Meeting?”. For appointed proxyholders who are attending the Meeting in person, you must pre-register via email to WheatonAGM2021@wheatonpm.com by 10:30am May 12, 2021 (PST) so that appropriate measures can be put in place to facilitate physical distancing and other precautions to ensure the health and safety of all attendees and on arrival at the Meeting, present themselves to a representative of AST Trust Company or the Company.

In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary, including those regarding when and where the proxy or voting instruction form is to be delivered.

A Non-Registered Shareholder may revoke a voting instruction form or a waiver of the right to receive Mailed Materials and to vote which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary provided that an Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a voting instruction form or of a waiver of the right to receive Mailed Materials and to vote which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven days prior to the Meeting.

Notice and Access

Under Canadian securities laws, reporting issuers are permitted to advise their shareholders of the availability of proxy-related materials, including this management information circular on an easily-accessible website, rather than mailing physical copies pursuant to the “Notice and Access” rules.

The use of this alternative means of delivery is more environmentally friendly as it helps reduce paper use, the Company’s carbon footprint and the Company’s printing costs. The Company has therefore decided to deliver this management information circular to shareholders by posting it on its website (www.wheatonpm.com/Investors/annual-general-meeting/). This management information circular will also be available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and on the United States Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov.

Those shareholders with existing instructions on their account to receive a paper copy of meeting materials will receive a paper copy of this management information circular.

Voting Securities and Principal Holders Thereof

As of March 22, 2021, 449,773,889 Common Shares were issued and outstanding. Each Common Share entitles the holder thereof to one vote on all matters to be acted upon at the Meeting. The record date for the determination of shareholders entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at, the Meeting has been fixed at March 19, 2021. In accordance with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Act”), the Company will prepare a list of holders of Common Shares as of such record date. Each holder of Common Shares named in the list will be entitled to vote the shares shown opposite his or her name on the list at the Meeting. All such holders of record of Common Shares are entitled either to attend and vote thereat in person the Common Shares held by them or, provided a completed and executed proxy shall have been delivered to the Company’s transfer agent within the time specified in the attached Notice of Meeting, to attend and vote thereat by proxy the Common Shares held by them.

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, based upon publicly available information as of March 22, 2021, no person or company beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, or exercises control or direction over, voting securities of the Company carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to any class of voting securities of the Company.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Election of Directors

The Company’s Articles of Continuance and rules and laws applicable to the Company provide that the Board consist of a minimum of three and a maximum of ten directors. The Board currently consists of nine directors. The Company’s shareholders have previously passed a special resolution authorizing the directors of the Company to set the number of directors to be elected at a shareholders meeting.

At the Meeting, shareholders will be asked to approve an ordinary resolution for the election of the ten persons named hereunder as directors of the Company (the “Nominees”). Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote for the election of the Nominees. Management does not contemplate that any of the Nominees will be unable to serve as a director, but if that should occur for any reason prior to the Meeting, it is intended that discretionary authority shall be exercised by the persons named in the accompanying proxy to vote the proxy for the election of any other person or persons in place of any Nominee or Nominees unable to serve. Each director elected will hold office until the close of the first annual meeting of shareholders of the Company following his election or until his successor is duly elected or appointed unless his office is earlier vacated in accordance with the by-laws of the Company. Each of the Nominees was elected at the last annual and special meeting of the Company’s shareholders held on May 14, 2020.

Advance Notice By-law

Under the Company’s By-law No. 3 Advance Notice of Nominations of Directors (the “Advance Notice Policy”) a director nomination must be made, in the case of an annual meeting of shareholders, not less than 30 nor more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting of shareholders, and in the case of a special meeting of shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting of shareholders) called for the purpose of electing directors (whether or not called for other purposes), not later than the close of business on the fifteenth (15th) day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting of shareholders was made. An adjournment or postponement of a meeting of shareholders does not commence a new time period for the giving of a shareholder’s nomination under the Advance Notice Policy. The Advance Notice Policy also sets forth the information that a shareholder must include in the notice to the Company. Please see the Advance Notice Policy which is available on the Company’s website under the Corporate Governance heading for full details. No director nominations have been made by shareholders in connection with the Meeting under the terms of the Advance Notice Policy, and as such the only nominations for directors at the Meeting are the Nominees.

Majority Voting Policy

The Board has adopted a policy which requires that any director nominee who receives a greater number of votes “withheld” from his or her election than votes “for” such election, promptly tender his or her resignation to the Board, to be effective upon acceptance by the Board. The Governance and Sustainability Committee will review the circumstances of the election and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether or not to accept the tendered resignation. The Board must determine whether or not to accept the tendered resignation as soon as reasonably possible and in any event within 90 days of the election. The Board will accept the tendered resignation absent exceptional circumstances and the resignation will be effective when accepted by the Board, and the Company will promptly issue a news release with the Board’s decision. If the Board determines not to accept a resignation, the news release will state the reasons for that decision. Subject to any corporate law restrictions, the Board may fill any resulting vacancy through the appointment of a new director. The director nominee in question may not participate in any committee or Board votes concerning his or her resignation. This policy does not apply in circumstances involving contested director elections.

Director Qualifications and Experience

On an annual basis, the Governance and Sustainability Committee considers the strategies of the Company to identify what skills, experiences and expertise are required of the Board in exercising its oversight responsibilities. Listed below is a summary of those areas of expertise.

Areas of Expertise

Managing or leading growth – experience as a senior officer in driving the strategy and vision of an organization and leading growth

International – experience as a senior officer in a major organization that has international operations

CEO/President – experience as the CEO or President of a publicly listed company or major organization

Operations – production or exploration experience with a leading mining or resource company, with formal education in geology, geophysics or engineering

Industry expertise – experience as an officer with a company in the mining industry, combined with a strong knowledge of market participants

Compensation – experience as a senior officer or board compensation committee member, with compensation, benefit and pension programs, with specific expertise in executive compensation programs

Investment banking/Mergers & acquisitions – experience in investment banking or in major mergers and acquisitions

Financial literacy – experience in financial accounting and reporting, and corporate finance (familiarity with internal financial controls, Canadian GAAP, US GAAP or IFRS)

Health, safety, environment and sustainability – strong understanding of the requirements and leading practices of workplace safety, health and the environment, including the requirements needed for a strong safety culture and sustainable development

Governance/Board – experience as a board member of a major organization

The Governance and Sustainability Committee then compares those areas of expertise to the areas of expertise of the current members of the Board, and uses this assessment in considering the composition of the Board and identifying what skills the Company should be recruiting for when making changes or additions to the Board. See “Nomination of Directors” on page 34 for further discussion regarding the process through which nominees are identified.

The biographies above summarize the qualifications and experience of each of the members of the Board that led the Governance and Sustainability Committee to conclude that such member is qualified to serve on the Board. The lack of a specifically identified area of expertise does not mean that the Nominee does not possess that qualification or skill. Rather, a specifically identified area of expertise indicates that the Board currently relies upon that Nominee for that expertise.

Corporate Governance Practices

National Policy 58-201 Corporate Governance Guidelines and National Instrument 58-101 Disclosure of Corporate Governance Practices (the “Governance Disclosure Rule”) were adopted by the securities regulatory authorities in Canada and deal with matters such as the constitution and independence of corporate boards, their functions, the effectiveness and education of board members and other items dealing with sound corporate governance practices. The Governance Disclosure Rule requires that, if management of an issuer solicits proxies from its security holders for the purpose of electing directors, specified disclosure of its corporate governance practices must be included in its management information circular. The Company is subject to the Governance Disclosure Rule which can be accessed at https://www.bcsc.bc.ca/securities-law/law-and-policy/instruments-and-policies/5-ongoing-requirements-for-issuers-insiders.

The Company and the Board recognize the importance of corporate governance to the effective management of the Company and to the protection of its employees and shareholders. The Company’s approach to significant issues of corporate governance is designed with a view to ensuring that the business and affairs of the Company are effectively managed so as to enhance shareholder value. The Board fulfills its mandate directly and through its committees at regularly scheduled meetings or as required. Frequency of meetings may be increased and the nature of the agenda items may be changed depending upon the state of the Company’s affairs and in light of opportunities or risks which the Company faces. The directors are kept informed of the Company’s operations at these meetings as well as through reports and discussions with management on matters within their particular areas of expertise.

The Company’s corporate governance practices have been and continue to be in compliance with applicable Canadian and United States requirements, including the Governance Disclosure Rule. The Company’s corporate governance practices are summarized in this Circular and full copies the Company’s corporate governance policies can be accessed on the Company’s website at http://www.wheatonpm.com/company/corporate-governance/default.aspx. The Company continues to monitor developments in Canada, the United States and the UK with a view to further revising its governance policies and practices, as appropriate and applicable.

The NYSE rules require the Company to disclose any significant ways in which its corporate governance practices differ from those followed by United States domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards. The Company believes that there are no significant differences between its corporate governance practices and those required to be followed by United States domestic issuers under the NYSE listing standards. This confirmation is also located on the Wheaton website at http://www.wheatonpm.com/company/corporate-governance/default.aspx.

Our Year in Review

See “2020 Corporate Governance At A Glance” on page [v] of this management information circular for a summary of Wheaton’s corporate governance practices in 2020.

The following is a full description of the Company’s corporate governance practices which has been prepared by the Governance and Sustainability Committee of the Board and has been approved by the Board.

Board of Directors

Independence of the Board

The independence of the directors under the Governance Disclosure Rule is determined in accordance with National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees, which provides that a director is independent if he or she has no direct or indirect material relationship with the Company and its subsidiaries. A “material relationship” is defined to mean any relationship which could, in the view of the Board, be reasonably expected to interfere with the exercise of a director’s independent judgment. The Company also determines the independence of its directors in accordance with the NYSE’s corporate governance standards (the “NYSE Governance Rules”) under which no director qualifies as independent unless the board of directors affirmatively determines that the director has no material relationship with the Company.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[27]

On an annual basis, the Board considers whether each director is independent in accordance with these requirements. Based on this review, eight out of the ten directors are independent. The Company’s determination on independence of directors is set out in the Nominee biographies starting on page 15.

In accordance with the NYSE Governance Rules, the Board also considers all factors relevant to determining whether a director has a relationship with the Company which is material to that director’s ability to be independent from management in connection with the duties of a compensation committee member (the “NYSE Enhanced Independence Rules”). The Board has confirmed that all members of the Human Resources Committee meet the NYSE Enhanced Independence Rules.

Board Chair

The Board has appointed Mr. Holtby, an independent member of the Board, as its Chair. The Chair’s primary responsibilities include chairing all Board meetings and managing the affairs of the Board and shareholders, including ensuring that the Board is organized properly, functions effectively and meets its obligations and responsibilities. The Chair also acts as the primary spokesperson for the Board, ensuring that management is aware of concerns of the Board, shareholders, other stakeholders and the public and, in addition, ensuring that management strategies, plans and performance are appropriately represented to the Board. The Terms of Reference for the Board Chair sets out the full description of the responsibilities of the Chair of the Board and is available at www.wheatonpm.com.

Meetings of the Board and Committees of the Board

The Board meets a minimum of four times per year, every quarter. Each committee of the Board meets at least once each year or more frequently as deemed necessary by the applicable committee. The frequency of the meetings and the nature of the meeting agendas are dependent upon the nature of the business and affairs which the Company faces from time to time. The Nominee biographies starting on page 15 provide details regarding director attendance at Board and committee meetings held during the financial year ended December 31, 2020.

Independent Directors’ Meetings

During 2020, the independent directors held an in-camera session at each Board meeting during which session non-independent directors and members of management did not attend. The Board may also excuse members of management and conflicted directors from all or a portion of any meeting where a conflict or potential conflict of interest arises or where otherwise appropriate.

The Chair of the Board facilitates and chairs discussions among the Company’s independent directors and facilitates communication between the independent directors and Company’s management. The Chair considers any comments or requests made by an independent director or during an in-camera session of the independent directors and determines the most appropriate action or response, which may include a request for additional information or action by the Chief Executive Officer or other members of the Company’s management, the seeking of independent legal or other advice, or any other action that the Chair of the Board deems appropriate or advisable under the circumstances to address the comment or request raised.

Other Public Company Directorships/Committee Appointments

The Nominee biographies starting on page 15 provide details regarding directorships and committee appointments held by the Company’s directors in other public companies. The Board has determined that the simultaneous service of some of its directors on other audit committees does not impair the ability of such directors to effectively serve on the Company’s Audit Committee, having regard to their qualifications, attendance and contribution as members of the Company’s Audit Committee.

Board Tenure and Renewal

The Company has not adopted term limits for directors serving on the Board. The Company and Board have considered term limits and believe that:

•

longer tenure does not impair a director’s ability to act independently of management;

•

imposing term limits could result in the loss of contributions of longer serving directors who have developed significant depth of knowledge and understanding of the streaming industry;

•

regular evaluation of Board skills and experience, rather than arbitrary term limits, will result in better Board performance; and

•

experience of Board members is a valuable asset to shareholders because of the complex issues that the Board faces.

The Company believes these positions are supported by both academic literature and Board performance.

While the Company has not adopted term limits, the Company recognizes and welcomes fresh perspectives from newer Board members. In addition, the Board conducts reviews of its directors as set out under “Board Assessments” on page 37.

Interlocking Directorships

The Board has adopted a policy that no two Company directors shall sit together on two or more public company corporate boards without the approval of the Board. As of December 31, 2020, no director of the Company serves on the board of any other public company with any other director of the Company.

Board Mandate

The duties and responsibilities of the Board are to supervise the management of the business and affairs of the Company, and to act with a view towards the best interests of the Company. In discharging its mandate, the Board is responsible for the oversight and review of the development of, among other things, the following matters:

•

the strategic planning process of the Company;

•

identifying the principal risks of the Company’s business and ensuring the implementation of appropriate systems to manage these risks;

•

succession planning, including appointing, training and monitoring senior management;

•

a communications policy for the Company to facilitate communications with investors and other interested parties; and

•

the integrity of the Company’s internal control and management information systems.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[29]

The Board also has the mandate to assess the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, its committees and the contribution of individual directors. The Board discharges its responsibilities directly and through its committees, currently consisting of the Audit Committee, the Human Resources Committee and the Governance and Sustainability Committee. In addition, in fulfilling its mandate the Board, among other things:

•

reviews the Company’s annual budget, five-year business plan and corporate strategic plan;

•

reviews financing arrangements and significant acquisitions;

•

reviews reports, at least quarterly, from the President & Chief Executive Officer, the Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President, Corporate Development on the Company’s progress in the preceding quarter and on the strategic, operational and financial matters facing the Company; and

•

reviews significant communications with shareholders and the public, including quarterly and annual financial results, the sustainability report, the annual report, annual information form and this management information circular.

A copy of the terms of reference for the Board, setting out its mandate, responsibilities and the duties of its members is attached as Schedule “A” to this management information circular.

Diversity, Representation of Women and Board Gender Target

The Governance and Sustainability Committee is committed to fostering a diverse environment where individual differences are respected and diversity is promoted and valued. The Company believes that employing and engaging a diverse workforce enhances the Company’s effectiveness by leveraging access to a wide array of experiences, skills, talents and knowledge. The Company recognizes the benefits from creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive culture within our workforce, including exposure to different perspectives. Therefore, while opportunities will be primarily based on performance, skill and merit, due consideration will be given to diversity in all aspects of employment and engagement by an employee, officer or director with the Company, including selection, recruitment, hiring, promotion, compensation, termination, training and development. For clarity, “diversity” means any element or quality that can be used to differentiate groups and people from one another, including differences based on race, colour, religion, gender and gender identity, sexual orientation, family or marital status, political belief, age, national or ethnic origin, citizenship or physical or mental disability and any other protected ground. The Company will be looking to support diversity additionally through surveys on diversity and inclusion at Wheaton together with incorporating diversity awareness training.

Currently our Board includes two women, which represents 20% of the Company’s current total Board members. The Board has one member who identifies as a member of a visible minority, one member who identifies as having a disability or accessibility need and no members that identify as aboriginal or First Nations; the Company does consider these aspects as well as other aspects of diversity in its Board recruitment and selection process as noted above.

In order to promote and foster Board gender diversity, in 2021 the Board adopted a target to have at least 30% of Board members be women by the end of 2024 (the “Target”). Leading up to the end of 2024, it is anticipated that there will be fluctuations in the relative percentages of women and men on the Board as new directors join to fill vacancies resulting from retiring directors.

In order to support the Board in meeting the Target, until the Target is achieved, the Board has implemented practices that:

•

require any search for nominees to the Board to specifically include diverse candidates generally, and women candidates in particular, and any search firm engaged for such purpose to be directed to do so, with the Board endeavoring to have at least 50% qualified women candidates in any presented list of potential candidates; and

•

the Board will annually assess progress on the Target, including an assessment of the percentage of potential candidates that were women during the year, the percentage of Board members who are women and the percentage of Board Committee members who are women.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[30]

There are currently no executive officers of the Company or of its subsidiaries that are women; 20% of the Vice Presidents of the Company and 44% of all employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are women. Approximately 25% of Wheaton’s employees identify as a member of a visible minority and approximately 5% identify as having a physical or mental disability. Wheaton does not currently have any employees that identify as aboriginal or First Nations.

The Company has not adopted a written policy in respect of the identification and nomination of women for executive officer appointments, nor established targets regarding the representation of women in executive officer positions. The Company continues to favour recruitment and promotion based on abilities and contributions in accordance with the diversity policy.

The Governance and Sustainability Committee is required to annually update and recommend to the Board for approval a long-term plan for Board composition which takes into consideration, among other matters, the diversity of the Board. A similar approach will be taken by management and the Board with respect to recruitment of executive officers.

Environment, Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility

The Board has adopted an Environmental and Sustainability policy which sets out Wheaton’s commitment to sustainable development. Discussions and further information concerning Wheaton’s commitment to the protection of life, health, and the environment for present and future generations can be found in the Company’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2020 and on the Company’s website at at www.wheatonpm.com/responsibility.

Wheaton has also adopted a community investment program under which a portion of Wheaton’s net income is donated to charitable organizations and initiatives that help improve and strengthen communities both locally and internationally. Wheaton’s community investment program has two components: the partner corporate social responsibility program, which has an international focus and the local corporate social responsibility program, which supports organizations in the communities where our offices are located.

In April 2020, Wheaton launched a US$5 million Community Support and Response Fund in order to support the global efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on communities. Wheaton will partner with both charitable organizations and its mining partners to support employees and host communities throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. Eighty percent of the fund will be targeted to the communities that are directly influenced by the mines on which we have precious metals streaming agreements and the remainder will be allocated to local programs in Vancouver and Grand Cayman where Wheaton’s offices are located. The fund will be designed to meet the immediate needs of the community and provide relief in the following areas of support: Community Healthcare, Food Security and Social Economic Impacts.

Details concerning Wheaton’s corporate social responsibility programs can be found in the Company’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2020 and on the Company’s website at www.wheatonpm.com/responsibility.

Risk Management

Under the Board Guidelines, the Board is required to ensure management identifies the principal risks of the Company’s business and implements appropriate systems to manage these risks.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[31]

Management and the Board have worked together to develop rigorous identification, management, reporting and mitigation strategies for key risks that the Company faces in the operation of its business. Management has identified risks and assigned ratings to those risks to assess each risk’s impact, likelihood of occurring and effectiveness of current processes to mitigate the risks.

The key factors that drive the Company’s risk profile are set out in the Company’s annual information form for the year ended December 31, 2020. Changes in these factors can increase or decrease the Company’s risk profile. The Board receives quarterly reports to review the Company’s progress in managing these risks and identify any emerging risks. In addition, the following committees are engaged in risk management oversight at the Company:

•

Audit Committee – monitors significant business, political, financial and control risks and exposures including significant risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices and information systems and cyber security;

•

Human Resources Committee – monitors personnel/human resource risks including compensation and succession; and

•

Governance and Sustainability Committee – monitors governance and sustainable business practices risks, including environmental, health and safety, social responsibility (including human rights and engagement with local communities) and related matters (“Sustainability Matters”).

Information Systems and Cyber Security Risk Management – Additional details on information systems and cyber security risk management are located in the Company’s annual information form.

Compensation Risk Management – Additional details on compensation risk management are located on page 71.

Position Descriptions

Written position descriptions have been developed by the Board for the Chair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and may be accessed on the Company’s website at www.wheatonpm.com.

The Company does not maintain a separate written description of the roles of the Chairs of each of the committees of the Board. Instead, the Company has developed terms of reference for each of the committees of the Board (available at www.wheatonpm.com). The Chair of each committee is responsible for ensuring that the applicable committee fulfils its responsibilities and duties under its governing terms of reference.

Orientation and Continuing Education

The Governance and Sustainability Committee, in conjunction with the Chair of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is responsible for ensuring that new directors are provided with an orientation and education program which will include written information about the duties and obligations of directors, the business and operations of the Company, documents from recent Board meetings, and opportunities for meetings and discussion with senior management and other directors. The Company does not have a formal orientation process in place for its new directors and instead has adopted a tailored approach depending on the particular needs and focus of the director being appointed.

The Board recognizes the importance of ongoing director education and the need for each director to take personal responsibility for this process. To facilitate ongoing education of the Company’s directors, the Governance and Sustainability Committee will: (a) periodically canvass the directors to determine their training and education needs and interests; (b) arrange ongoing visitation by directors to the Company’s facilities and operations; (c) arrange the funding for the attendance of directors at seminars or conferences of interest and relevance to their position as a director of the Company; and (d) encourage and facilitate presentations by outside experts to the Board or committees on matters of particular import or emerging significance.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[32]

The Nominees biographies starting on page 15 provide details regarding various continuing education events held for the Company’s directors during the financial year ended December 31, 2020.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Board has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) for its directors, officers and employees. The Governance and Sustainability Committee has the responsibility for monitoring compliance with the Code by ensuring all directors, officers and employees receive and become thoroughly familiar with the Code and acknowledge their support and understanding of the Code. Any non-compliance with the Code is to be reported to the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer or other appropriate person. In addition, the Board conducts regular audits to test compliance with the Code, including an annual certification by each of the employees of the Company that they are in compliance with the Code. The Company also engages an independent reporting agency to provide a confidential and anonymous reporting system for breaches of the Code, as more fully described in the next section entitled “Whistleblower Policy”. A copy of the Code may be accessed on the Company’s website at www.wheatonpm.com.

The Board takes steps to ensure that directors, officers and employees exercise independent judgment in considering transactions and agreements in respect of which a director, officer or employee of the Company has a material interest, which include ensuring that directors, officers and employees are thoroughly familiar with the Code and, in particular, the rules concerning reporting conflicts of interest and obtaining direction from the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer regarding any potential conflicts of interest. In addition, in accordance with the Company’s charter documents and the Act, if a director is a director or officer of, or has a material interest in, any person who is a party to a transaction or proposed transaction with the Company, that director may not attend any part of the meeting of the directors during which the transaction is discussed and may not vote on any resolution with respect to the transaction, unless the transaction relates primarily to his or her remuneration as a director of the Company, is for indemnity or insurance or is one with an affiliate of the Company.

The Board encourages and promotes an overall culture of ethical business conduct by promoting compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations; providing guidance to directors, officers and employees to help them recognize and deal with ethical issues; promoting a culture of open communication, honesty and accountability; and ensuring awareness of disciplinary action for violations of ethical business conduct. To date, the Company has not been required to file a material change report relating to a departure from the Code.

The Code has been aligned with the United Nations Global Compact by outlining our commitment to human rights, fair practice and freedom of association, collective bargaining and our support for the abolition of forced labour and child labour, as well as other provisions. During 2020, the Code was updated to align with changes to the Company’s Disclosure Policy and in early 2021, the Code was further updated to reflect commitments on diversity and the Board’s adoption of the Target.

A copy of the Code has been filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR and on EDGAR. Additional details on our Code are available at www.wheatonpm.com and in our annual information form.

Whistleblower Policy

The Company has adopted a Whistleblower Policy which allows its directors, officers and employees who feel that a violation of the Code has occurred, or who have concerns regarding financial statement disclosure issues, accounting, internal accounting controls or auditing matters, to report such violation or concerns on a confidential and anonymous basis. Such reporting can be made by e-mail or telephone through EthicsPoint, an incident reporting tool maintained through an independent third party, Navex Global, used by the Company for this purpose. Once received, complaints are forwarded to the Chair of the Audit Committee and the Senior Vice President, Legal. The Chair of the Audit Committee and the Senior Vice President, Legal then investigate each matter so reported and the Company determines what corrective and disciplinary actions, if any, will be taken. There is also a quarterly and annual report prepared by the agency that provides aggregated information that is shared with the Board on a quarterly and annual basis.

Nomination of Directors

The Governance and Sustainability Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, is responsible for identifying and recruiting new candidates for nomination to the Board. The process by which the Board anticipates that it will identify new candidates is through recommendations of the Governance and Sustainability Committee whose responsibility it is to develop, and annually update and recommend to the Board for approval, a long-term plan for Board composition that takes into consideration among other matters, the following: (a) the independence of each director; (b) the competencies and skills the Board, as a whole, should possess; (c) the current strengths, skills and experience represented by each director, as well as each director’s personality and other qualities as they affect Board dynamics; (d) retirement dates; (e) the diversity of the Board, including the Target; and (f) the strategic direction of the Company.

The Governance and Sustainability Committee maintains an assessment of the areas of expertise of the members of the Board. Please see “Director Qualifications and Experience” on page 25 for further discussion regarding the purpose of the assessment and each individual director’s particular areas of expertise.

Any search for nominees to the Board will specifically include diverse candidates generally. In order to promote and foster Board gender diversity, in 2021 the Board adopted the Target. In order to support the Board in meeting the Target, until the Target is achieved, the Board has implemented practices that require any search for nominees to the Board to specifically include diverse candidates generally, and women candidates in particular, and any search firm engaged for such purpose to be directed to do so, with the Board endeavoring to have at least 50% qualified women candidates in any presented list of potential candidates.

The Governance and Sustainability Committee believes that nominations for election or re-election to the Board should also be based on a particular candidate’s merits, skills and the Company’s needs after taking into account the current composition of the Board. Please see “Diversity and Representation of Women” on page 30 for further discussion regarding consideration given to the Target and diversity in the identification, nominations and appointments to the Board. The Governance and Sustainability Committee does not maintain a formal list of potential candidates. Instead, in the event of any search for a nominee to fill a vacancy on the Board, the Governance and Sustainability Committee would solicit the names of potential candidates from directors, management, shareholders, advisors and other external sources, and evaluate any potential candidates on the basis of their ability to alleviate any gaps identified through the areas of expertise assessment; their independence, their competencies, skills, backgrounds and experiences, their integrity, professionalism and values, their character and personality, their ability to contribute to the long-term strategy and success of the Company, the diversity of the Board generally, including the Target, the long term plan for Board composition and the needs of the Board, any past experiences of directors or management with the potential candidate, their expected contribution to achieving an overall Board that can function as a high performance team with sound judgment and proven leadership, whether or not they can devote sufficient time and resources to their other duties as a Board member and any other factors as may be considered appropriate at the time.

Majority Voting for Election of Directors

The Board has adopted a policy regarding majority voting for the election of directors. The policy is described under “Election of Directors” on page 14.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

Compensation

The Human Resources Committee’s responsibilities include reviewing and making recommendations to the directors regarding any equity or other compensation plan and regarding the total compensation package of the Chief Executive Officer and considering and approving the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer regarding the total compensation packages for the other officers of the Company.

The Human Resources Committee is composed entirely of independent directors. See “Role of the Human Resources Committee” on page 47 for further details regarding the Human Resources Committee.

Advisors to the Human Resources Committee

Governance and Sustainability Committee

The purposes of the Governance and Sustainability Committee are to:

•

provide a focus on governance that will enhance the Company’s performance;

•

assess and make recommendations regarding the Board’s effectiveness;

Related Party Transactions

A “related party transaction” means a transaction between the Company, or its affiliates, on the one hand, and a related party of the Company, or its affiliates, as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), on the other hand, but does not include any transaction in respect of compensation related matters as compensation matters are already addressed by the Human Resources Committee in the case of executive officers and employees, and the Governance and Sustainability Committee in the case of directors. Transactions between the Company and its own subsidiaries are not, for this purpose, considered to be related party transactions.

The Board does not believe it requires a standing committee to address related party transactions, however, in the event that the Company was proposed to be involved in a related party transaction that was not exempt under MI 61-101, the Board anticipates that it would proceed as follows:

•

form and appoint members to a special committee of independent/disinterested members of the Board to consider the related party transaction;

•

ensure that the mandate of any such special committee generally vests the special committee with full authority to negotiate the terms of the related party transaction, consider other alternative transactions, and consider whether the related party transaction is in the interests of, or fair to, security holders of the Company; and

•

provide the special committee with access to financial, legal and other advice required in the course of their negotiation and consideration of the related-party transaction.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company was not involved in any related party transactions.

Board Assessments

The Board is committed to regular assessments of the effectiveness of the Board, the committees of the Board and individual directors. The Governance and Sustainability Committee annually reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding evaluations of the Board, the committees of the Board and individual directors.

The process for individual director peer evaluations includes a formal one-on-one session between each director and the Chair of the Board to seek candid feedback regarding each other director of the Board, the Board performance and any concerns or issues the director has. These sessions are typically held in February of each year. A summary of the findings is presented by the Chair of the Board to the Board in March of each year.

The process for Board and Committee evaluations includes a written questionnaire that is circulated to each member of the Board. In addition to specific questions for which a rating is assigned by each director, directors are solicited for any comments with respect to Board and Committee composition, effectiveness, performance and conduct of meetings, as well as Company strategy, operations and organization. Results are aggregated and a written report prepared summarizing the results. The written report is circulated to the Chair of the Board and to the Governance and Sustainability Committee, and presented to and discussed with the Board in March of each year.

The foregoing process was undertaken during February and March 2021, with the results of the 2021 written review and the one-on-one sessions presented at a Board meeting held on March 11, 2021.

Director Share Ownership Requirements

Each non-executive director of the Company is required to hold Common Shares having a value equal to at least three times the amount of the annual retainer paid to such director, including the value of any Restricted Share Rights (as defined herein) (see “Restricted Share Plan” on page 87 for further details and definitions regarding the Restricted Share Rights), granted to such director in respect of the year in which the calculation is determined (or in respect of the prior year if no grant has yet been made to such director in respect of such year), but excluding any additional retainer paid to a director in his or her capacity as the Chair of the Board or Chair of any Committee of the Board.

Director Compensation

The Governance and Sustainability Committee makes recommendations to the Board relating to the compensation of Board members and the Board meets annually to review the adequacy and form of directors’ compensation. For the financial year ended December 31, 2020, each non-executive director of the Company received: (i) an annual retainer fee of C$100,000, (ii) meeting fees of C$1,500 for each Board or committee of the Board meeting attended in person or by teleconference, and (iii) travel fees of C$1,500 for travel required to attend a Board or committee meeting held at a location where the director does not reside. The Chair of the Audit Committee (currently, Mr. Brough) received an additional C$30,000 per year. The Chair of the Human Resources Committee (currently, Mr. Gillin) received an additional C$30,000 per year. The Chair of the Governance and Sustainability Committee (currently, Mr. Brack) received an additional C$15,000 per year. The Chair of the Board (currently, Mr. Holtby) received an additional C$90,000 per year. In the event that any director of the Company only serves as such for part of a year, they receive such compensation pro rata.

Grants of Restricted Share Rights to the non-executive directors have been used since 2005 as equity-based compensation in lieu of stock options which were discontinued for non-executive directors in 2005. See “Restricted Share Plan” on page 87 for further details and definitions regarding Restricted Share Rights. For the year ended December 31,2020, the Board granted Restricted Share Rights to non-executive directors to acquire that number of Common Shares of the Company that would equate to a value of C$135,000 and Restricted Share Rights to the Chair of the Board to acquire that number of Common Shares of the Company that would equate to a value of C$220,000.

For the financial year ended December 31, 2021, the Board has approved adjusting its annual compensation as follows: (i) the annual retainer fee for Board members will be increased to C$110,000 (ii) the additional annual retainer fee for the Chair of the Board will be increased to C$100,000, and (iii) the Board granted Restricted Share Rights to non-executive directors to acquire Common Shares of the Company will be increased to equate to a value of C$140,000 for Board members and C$230,000 for the Chair of the Board.

Our Year in Review - 2020

See “2020 Compensation At A Glance” on page [iv] of this management information circular for a summary of Wheaton’s compensation practices and results in 2020.

Introduction

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis section provides full details on the objectives of Wheaton’s compensation program, Wheaton’s compensation philosophy, the role and responsibility of the Human Resources Committee in connection with compensation matters, selection of the Company’s comparator group for determining compensation, discusses how compensation is determined for executives and describes each element of executive pay.

Objectives of Compensation Program

The objectives of the Company’s compensation program are to attract, hold and inspire performance by members of senior management in a manner that will enhance the sustainable profitability and growth of the Company.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[46]

Overview of the Compensation Philosophy

The following principles guide the Company’s overall compensation philosophy:

(a)

compensation is determined on an individual basis by the need to attract and retain talented, high-achievers;

(b)

calculating total compensation is set with reference to the market for similar jobs in similar locations;

(c)

an appropriate portion of total compensation is variable and linked to achievements, both individual and corporate;

(d)

internal equity is maintained such that individuals in similar jobs and locations are treated fairly; and

(e)

the Company supports reasonable expenses in order that employees continuously maintain and enhance their skills.

Opportunity for Shareholder Feedback

The Board believes that it is important to have regular and constructive engagement with its shareholders to discuss those aspects of the Company’s executive compensation that are of importance to shareholders and to allow and encourage shareholders to express their views on executive compensation matters to the Board outside of the annual meeting. Shareholders are invited to express their views to the Board or the Human Resources Committee by contacting the Board or committee in the manner described under the heading “Shareholder Engagement & Contacting the Board of Directors” on page 92.

The Board has also adopted a policy providing for an annual advisory vote on executive compensation, known as “Say on Pay”, in order to give the Company’s shareholders a formal opportunity to provide their views on the executive compensation program of the Company. At the 2020 Annual and Special Meeting of Shareholders, 75% of the votes cast were in favour of the resolution accepting the Company’s approach to executive compensation. As a result of the votes received at the 2020 Annual and Special Meeting, the Company has reviewed its compensation practices and adjusted, in particular, its term and vesting periods for its stock options and Restricted Share Rights. See “Elements of Executive Compensation” on page 51 and “Special Matters – Say on Pay Advisory Vote” on page 91 for further details.

Role of the Human Resources Committee

The Human Resources Committee, comprised of independent directors, is established by the Board to assist in fulfilling the Board’s responsibilities relating to human resources and compensation matters and to establish a plan of continuity for senior management. The Human Resources Committee ensures that the Company has an executive compensation plan that is both motivational and competitive so that it will attract, hold and inspire performance by senior management in a manner that will enhance the sustainable profitability and growth of the Company.

The Human Resources Committee reviews on an annual basis the overall compensation package for each executive officer. It submits to the Boards of Wheaton and Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. (“Wheaton International”) recommendations with respect to the base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentive award for each executive officer, as applicable. During 2020, the Human Resources Committee received various reports from Mercer reviewing Wheaton’s past and current compensation levels for executives, in comparison to a peer group of companies selected by the Human Resources Committee, and practices in the current market. See “The Comparator Groups” on page 55 for details on the peer group.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[47]

The Human Resources Committee makes recommendations to the Board annually after reviewing the matters discussed in Mercer’s reports, discussing various factors with management, comparing compensation to the 2019 Comparator Group and the 2020 Comparator Group (both as defined below), and receiving recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer in March 2020 with respect to 2020 base salaries and 2020 long-term incentive awards for executive officers, and in March 2021 with respect to 2020 annual performance-based cash incentives. In making its recommendations, the Human Resources Committee was satisfied that all recommendations complied with the Human Resources Committee’s philosophy and guidelines.

In accordance with Terms of Reference for the Human Resources Committee, the Human Resources Committee is authorized to:

•

retain or obtain the advice of compensation consultants, independent counsel and other advisors;

•

appoint, compensate and have oversight over the work of compensation consultants, independent counsel and other advisors;

•

determine appropriate funding to be paid to compensation consultants, independent counsel and other advisors;

•

conduct independence assessments of compensation consultants, independent counsel and other advisors at the time they are appointed and on an annual basis thereafter; and

•

identify any conflict of interest issues with compensation consultants annually to shareholders.

The Human Resources Committee did not identify any conflict of interest issues that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the independence of its compensation consultant for the year ended December 31, 2020. A copy of the Human Resources Committee terms of reference is available at www.wheatonpm.com.

The members of the Human Resources Committee, their independence (as such term is defined in National Instrument 52-110 Audit Committees and the NYSE Enhanced Independence Rules) and their experience relevant to their responsibilities in executive compensation are as follows:

The Human Resources Committee requires members who possess the ability to exercise independent judgment and reasoning, are able to apply analytical and logical thinking, have knowledge of the competitive marketplace for executives, and have experience with the objectives and purposes of compensation programs. All of these skills have been obtained through the combined business experiences of the members of the Human Resources Committee, including experiences with financial matters, human resources and management of public companies. The skills and experiences of the individual members of the Human Resources Committee together with input and advice from Mercer, enable the Human Resources Committee to make the decisions on the suitability of the Company’s compensation program.

Named Executive Officers

For the remainder of this management information circular, the following individuals included in the “Summary Compensation Table” on page 77 are referred to as the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”:

•

Randy V.J. Smallwood, President and Chief Executive Officer;

•

Gary D. Brown, Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer;

•

Curt D. Bernardi, Senior Vice President, Legal and Corporate Secretary;

•

Haytham H. Hodaly, Senior Vice President, Corporate Development; and

•

Patrick E. Drouin, Senior Vice President, Investor Relations.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer

The Chief Executive Officer completes a review of the Named Executive Officers’ performance in accordance with the evaluation criteria listed below in the “Annual Performance Based Cash Incentives” section. Based on the foregoing evaluation, as well as a subjective assessment, the Chief Executive Officer makes a recommendation to the Human Resources Committee on base salaries, cash bonuses and long-term incentive plan awards for each Named Executive Officer, which is taken into consideration by the Human Resources Committee in completing its review and ultimate recommendations to the Board.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[49]

Role of the Compensation Consultant

Mercer’s mandate with the Human Resources Committee includes providing advice on the competitiveness and appropriateness of compensation programs for the Named Executive Officers and members of the Board, as required. This mandate may include advice with respect to base salaries, retainers and fees, short and long-term incentives, pensions, benefits, perquisites, employment agreements and change of control provisions.

The Human Resources Committee will agree annually and on an as-needed basis, with input from management and Mercer, on the specific work to be undertaken by the consultant for the Human Resources Committee and the fees associated with such work. Mercer reports directly to the Chair of the Human Resources Committee. Neither the Board nor the Human Resources Committee formal pre-approval is required in order for the Company or its affiliates to obtain services other than compensation services from Mercer or its affiliates. The Human Resources Committee reviews the engagement of Mercer annually to ensure that all reasonable steps are taken to minimize any potential conflicts of interest.

In conducting the review for each of 2019 and 2020, the Human Resources Committee recognized that the fees paid to Mercer and its affiliates for insurance-related matters exceeded the fees paid to Mercer for executive compensation-related matters. Mercer’s affiliates include Marsh Canada, part of Marsh & McLennan world-wide professional services group, which provides insurance and insurance related services to the Company. The Human Resources Committee was satisfied that Mercer’s advice was objective and free from any conflict that could reasonably be expected to interfere with the independence of Mercer. The Human Resources Committee considered the following factors in making this determination: (i) the percentage of fees Mercer and its affiliates received from the Company was minimal compared to Mercer’s and its affiliates total revenues, and a significant percentage of the fees are passed through Mercer to the carriers of underlying insurance policies; (ii) Mercer and Marsh Canada have internal policies and procedures around potential conflicts of interest and tied-selling, do not compensate employees based on client revenue received by affiliates and conduct annual reviews directed to preserving the objectivity of their advice; and (iii) there were no known business or personal relationships between the Company (and its directors and officers) and Mercer (and Mercer’s and its affiliates’ directors and officers).

During 2020 and the first quarter of 2021, Mercer was engaged by the Human Resources Committee to conduct a compensation review of the Named Executive Officers and present its findings based on a comparison of compensation levels of a peer group of companies. Although Mercer provides advice to the Human Resources Committee, the decisions of the Human Resources Committee may reflect factors and considerations other than the information and recommendations provided by Mercer.

(2)

Marsh Canada Limited, an affiliate of Mercer, provided insurance and insurance related services to the Company in 2020 and 2019. Marsh Management, an affiliate of Mercer, provided insurance and insurance related services in 2020 and 2019 to Wheaton International. Of the fees paid in 2020, approximately $1,387,597 relate to premiums paid to affiliates of Mercer which were to have been passed through by those affiliates to carriers of the underlying insurance policies, and only approximately $165,885 relate to fees that were to be retained by Mercer affiliates.

Elements of Executive Compensation

It is the compensation philosophy of the Company to provide a market-based blend of base salaries, bonuses and long-term equity incentives in the form of stock options, Restricted Share Rights (see “Restricted Share Plan” on page 87 for further details and definitions regarding Restricted Share Rights) and Performance Share Units (see “Performance Share Unit Plan” on page 86 for further details and definitions regarding Performance Share Units). The Company believes that the bonus and long-term incentive components of compensation serve to further align the interests of management with the interests of the Company’s shareholders.

Beginning in 2017, the Human Resources Committee recommended that Restricted Share Rights be awarded to all employees, including Named Executive Officers, as part of the long-term incentive plan awards.

In order to further increase alignment of the interests of management with the interests of the Company’s shareholders, the Board has approved changes so that (i) grants of stock options made after December 31, 2020 will have a seven-year term with a vesting schedule of 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of grant, and (ii) grants of Restricted Share Rights made after December 31, 2020 will have restricted periods that expire as to 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant.

Wheaton has included certain non-IFRS performance measures in this management information circular. Please see “Non-IFRS Measures” in Schedule “B” to this management information circular.

Base Salary	Salaries form an essential element of the Company’s compensation mix as they are the first base measure to compare and remain competitive relative to peer groups. Base salaries are fixed and therefore not subject to uncertainty and are used as the base to determine other elements of compensation and benefits. The Human Resources Committee reviews NEO salaries at least annually as part of its overall competitive market assessment, as described above. Typically, the Human Resources Committee makes annual salary adjustments in March of each year for the 12-month period from January 1 to December 31 of that year.	Not at Risk	1 year	Cash

Annual Performance- Based Cash Incentives (Bonus)	Annual performance-based cash incentives are a variable component of compensation designed to reward the NEOs for maximizing annual operating performance. Annual performance-based awards can range from 0% to 200% of base salary. In making annual performance-based awards, the Human Resources Committee considers that such bonus awards are intended to incentivize management during the year to take actions and make decisions within their control, and as a result, the performance criteria do not include matters outside of the control of management, most notably commodity pricing. The Human Resources Committee reviews annual performance based - awards of cash as part of its overall annual assessment of Company and individual performance, as more fully described under the heading “Annual Performance Based Cash Incentives”. Typically, the Human Resources Committee makes awards in March of each year for the 12- month period from January 1 to December 31 of the prior year.	At Risk	1 year	Cash

Medium and Long-Term Incentive Plan – Stock Options, Restricted Share Rights and Performance Share Units	Long-Term Incentive Plan compensation is a variable component of compensation intended to reward the NEOs for their success in achieving sustained, long-term profitability and increases in stock value. Typically, the Human Resources Committee makes awards in March of each year for the 12-month period from January 1 to December 31 of that year. Long-Term Incentive Plan awards are made in stock options, Restricted Share Rights and Performance Share Units with the value of each Named Executive Officer’s award targeted to be approximately 50% in Performance Share Units, 25% in stock options and 25% in restricted share rights.	At Risk		Equity (settled in Common Shares for both stock options and Restricted Share Rights and cash for PSUs)
	Stock options are a variable component of compensation designed to reward Named Executive Officers for maximizing operating performance, while at the same time rewarding the Company’s Named Executive Officers for its success in achieving sustained, long-term profitability and increases in stock value. Awards of stock options seek to align the interests of management with the interests of the Company’s shareholders both through the possible increase in the price of the Common Shares over time and longer-term vesting schedules. Stock options granted before December 31, 2020 have a 5 year term with a vesting schedule as to 50% on each of the first and second anniversary of grant. Stock options granted after December 31, 2020 have a 7-year term with a vesting schedule of 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant.		Stock Options: 5 years for options granted before December 31, 2020 and 7 years for options granted after December 31, 2020

	Performance based Restricted Share Rights are a variable component of compensation designed to reward the Company’s executive officers for maximizing operating performance, while at the same time rewarding the Company’s executive officers for its success in achieving sustained, long-term profitability and increases in stock value. Awards of Restricted Share Rights seek to align the interests of management with the interests of the Company’s shareholders both through the possible increase in the price of the Common Shares over time and longer-term vesting schedules. Restricted periods for Restricted Share Rights granted before December 31, 2020 occur as to 50% on each of the first and second anniversary of grant. For Restricted Share Rights granted after December 31, 2020, the restricted periods will expire as to 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant.		Restricted Share Rights: 3 years

Element of Compensation	Summary and Purpose	Risk	Performance Period	Form of Compensation
	Performance Share Units provide a component of the long-term incentive plan that continues to offer a potential for a payout and incentivizing employees even if the Common Share price declines, provided that the Company’s performance exceeded that of a comparator group. In addition, the performance period for awards to date has been set at three years, thereby incentivizing management to take a longer-term view of Company performance.		PSUs: 3 years

Other Compensation (Including Perquisites)	The Company’s executive employee benefit program includes life, medical, dental and disability insurance, and paid parking. In addition, for Canadian employees, the Company provides a contribution to a registered retirement savings plan and a contribution to the Company’s Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (“SERP”). A separate retirement plan is in effect for Caymanian employees. Such benefits and perquisites are designed to be competitive overall with equivalent positions in comparable Canadian and United States organizations.	Not at Risk	1 year/ Retirement	-

Overview of How Compensation Program Fits with Wheaton Compensation Goals

1.	Attract, Retain and Motivate Key Talent

The compensation package meets the goal of attracting, retaining and motivating key talent in a highly competitive mining environment through the following elements:

•

a competitive cash compensation program, consisting of base salary, contribution to RRSP/SERP/retirement and cash bonus, which is generally consistent with or superior to similar opportunities; and

•

providing an opportunity to participate in the Company’s growth through stock options, Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Rights.

2.	Alignment of Interest of Management with Interest of the Company’s Shareholders

The compensation package meets the goal of aligning the interests of management with the interest of the Company’s shareholders through the following elements:

•

the grant of stock options, Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Rights, where, if the price of the Common Shares increases over time, both executives and shareholders will benefit;

•

two-year vesting schedule on stock option awards and Restricted Share Rights (increase to three-year vesting schedule for grants made after 2020), and a three-year vesting term on Performance Share Units which drives management to create long-term shareholder value, rather than focusing on short-term increases; and

•

an executive share ownership policy (see “Executive Share Ownership Policy” on page 70 for further details).

The Comparator Groups

The Human Resources Committee believes that it is appropriate to establish compensation levels based in large part on benchmarking against similar companies. In this way, the Company can gauge if its compensation is competitive and reasonable.

The Human Resources Committee and the Company are constantly assessing the methods for selection of comparator group members because of the importance of benchmarking for the purposes of evaluating and considering executive compensation. The Human Resources Committee has established the following enhanced methods and parameters to be considered in selecting and updating members of the comparator group:

No.	Criterion	Description of Comparator Group		Committee Consideration	4 Market Cap Screen
1	Industry	Metals Streaming	•	Include direct competitors that are obvious peers to the Company	Exclude direct competitors that are too large or small compared to Company

2	Competition for Talent	Mining Producers	•	Include companies that are within the mining sector, but that are not direct competitors	First apply +/- 50% as screen. After application of Business Model criterion, include next closest in size until comparator group reaches 15
			•	These companies would represent the most significant competitors with respect to attracting and retaining talent
			•	Preference to include Vancouver based companies

3	Business Model	Other Commodity Streaming	•	Companies should employ the same business model but may be in different sector	Apply +/- 50% as screen
			•	Consider if other companies have used Company as a comparator

As a result of these methods and parameters, the Human Resources Committee adopted the following comparator group (the “2019 Comparator Group”) for the purposes of benchmarking and determining salaries and long-term awards in respect of the 2020 year:

The 2019 Comparator Group

•	Agnico-Eagle Mines Limited	•	Lundin Mining Co.
•	B2 Gold Corp.	•	Osisko Gold Royalties
•	First Quantum Minerals Ltd.	•	Pan American Silver Corp.
•	Franco-Nevada Corporation	•	PrairieSky Royalty Ltd.
•	IAMGold Corporation	•	Royal Gold, Inc.
•	Kinross Gold Corp.	•	Teck Resources Limited
•	Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd.	•	Yamana Gold Inc.

The 2019 Comparator Group was adjusted (the “2020 Comparator Group”) following compensation decisions relating to salaries and long-term awards in respect of the 2020 year in order to better reflect Wheaton’s North American based competitors and relative market capitalization. As a result, the following changes were made:

•

each of SSR Mining Inc., Cameco Corporation and Centerra Gold Inc. were added to the 2020 Comparator Group, and

•

each of Osisko Gold Royalties, IAM Gold Corporation and Prairie Sky Royalty Ltd. were removed from the 2020 Comparator Group.

The 2020 Comparator Group was adopted for purposes of determining bonus awards for 2020 as well as salaries and long-term awards in respect of the 2021 year. The Human Resources Committee believes that the 2020 Comparator Group members are an appropriate and comparable group for the purposes of benchmarking and determining executive compensation.

Benchmarking

In arriving at a targeted total compensation package for 2020, the Human Resources Committee generally recommended to the Board that the executive officers receive (i) base salaries that are typically targeted at the 50^th percentile, or average, of the 2019 Comparator Group, and (ii) long-term incentive and bonus compensation that are typically on the higher end of the targeted range of the 2019 Comparator Group in the case of long-term incentive compensation and the 2020 Comparator Group in the case of bonus compensation, due to the Company’s unique business model and deal-driven nature.

Base Salary

In determining the base salary of a Named Executive Officer, the Human Resources Committee’s practice is to consider the recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer and to review the remuneration paid to executives with similar titles at a comparator group of companies in the marketplace, based on sector, market capitalization, revenue and complexity. In addition, the Human Resource Committee considers the findings of Mercer in their report relating to base salary. In arriving at an overall subjective assessment of base salary to be paid to a particular executive officer, the Human Resources Committee also considers the particular responsibilities of the position, the experience level of the executive officer, his or her past performance at the Company, the performance of the Company over the past year, and an overall assessment of market, industry and economic conditions.

The Human Resources Committee reviews Named Executive Officer salaries at least annually as part of its overall competitive market assessment. Typically, the Human Resources Committee makes annual salary adjustments in March of each year for the 12-month period from January 1 to December 31 of that year.

The 2020 base salaries of each of the Named Executive Officers were increased from their respective 2019 base salaries by 3% to better align with market practice and the 2019 Comparator Group. For 2021, it is anticipated that base salaries for Named Executive Officers will increase by 2%.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[57]

Annual Performance Based Cash Incentives

In determining the annual cash bonus of a Named Executive Officer, the Human Resources Committee has implemented a performance-based incentive plan that includes a target bonus for each Named Executive Officer, corporate and personal performance objectives and a payout depending on the achievement of those objectives. Importantly, the design of the performance-based incentive plan could result in a Named Executive Officer receiving no bonus.

The Human Resources Committee also considers the recommendations made by the Chief Executive Officer in assessing the corporate and personal performance over the past year, and the findings of Mercer in their report relating to the annual cash bonus. The Human Resources Committee also reviews the bonus that would be determined as a result of the application of the performance based incentive plan and retains complete discretion to (i) award compensation absent attainment of the relevant performance goal, (ii) not award compensation even if the relevant performance goal is attained, (iii) award compensation in excess of any expressed maximum or less than any expressed minimum, and (iv) otherwise reduce or increase the size of any award or payout.

As part of their determination of whether to exercise discretion to adjust any award or payout, the Human Resources Committee compares the award that would have been determined as a result of the application of the performance-based incentive plan to the bonuses paid to executives with similar titles and roles at the 2020 Comparator Group.

In making annual performance based awards, the Human Resources Committee considers that such bonus awards are intended to incentivize management during the year to take actions and make decisions in the operation of the Company that support the Company’s overall business strategy and the effective operation of the Company’s business, and as a result, the performance criteria do not include matters outside of the control of management, most notably commodity pricing.

The following table summarizes the annual target bonus and the breakdown of the weighting of each of the corporate and personal performance objectives for each of the Named Executive Officers.

Corporate Performance Objectives

The following table details the targets for threshold, target and maximum achievement for each of the corporate performance objectives, as well as the actual performance achieved for 2020 and the resulting performance factor to be applied in determining bonuses.

In 2020, the Human Resources Committee determined that it would adjust the annual performance metrics going forward. As a result, the Growth and Portfolio Performance categories were merged into a new Growth category with two sub-categories of (i) Total Cost/Net Present Payable ounces (“NPO”), as a percentage of spot price⁽¹⁾, and (ii) change in NPO. Details on these new categories are set out below. Each of the corporate performance categories have been capped at 200%.

NPO is calculated by discounting expected future payable ounces by risk adjusted discount rates. Specifically, discount rates are adjusted to reflect: (i) mineral classification of production profile, with higher discount rates being used for categories with lower confidence levels; (ii) credit quality of counterparty; (iii) political risk; (iv) life cycle of the asset (whether in production, development or exploration stage); and (v) asset quality (the lower the cost quartile the lower the applied discount rate). The Total Cost / NPO as a percentage of spot price provides a consistent metric for comparing spot price to the price paid for each net present payable ounce. Total Cost is calculated as the Upfront Payment made in a streaming transaction plus the present value of expected production payments relative to future payable ounces.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[59]

The Corporate Performance objective is comprised of sub-objectives as noted in the table above, each of which are further described below.

The Growth performance objective is determined on the basis of two sub-objectives relating to new transactions announced during the year – total cost/NPO as a percentage of spot silver prices and change in NPO. The evaluation of these sub-objectives is more fully described in the table and footnote above. The Growth performance objective is capped at an overall 200% performance factor. During 2020, the Company entered into two new streaming transactions in respect of the Marmato mine and Cozamin mine and NPO increased by 11.2% from 2019.

The Financial Excellence performance objective seeks to assess management’s ability to optimize the Company’s capital structure and is capped at an overall 200% performance factor. The Financial Excellence performance objective is based on three sub-objectives as follows:

(a)

The Change in NPO Per Share sub-objective measures the percentage change in NPO as a result of new transactions and capital management activities.

(b)

The Debt Service Capacity sub-objective involves a subjective assessment by the Human Resources Committee of the Company’s ability to access debt markets, leverage risk and ability to comply with financial covenants under its debt facilities. In arriving at a total qualitative assessment the Human Resources Committee considered that:

•

the Company repaid US$680 million of bank debt through operating cash flow, net of US$167 million cash dividends paid to shareholders;

•

the Company had net debt of US$2 million as at December 31, 2020. Net debt equals bank debt less cash and cash equivalents. See “Non-IFRS Measures” in Schedule B to this management information circular;

•

the Company maintained its ability to withstand significant commodity price decreases; and

•

the Company amended its revolving credit facility (“Revolving Facility”) to extend the maturity date to 2025.

(c)

The Relative Share Price Performance sub-objective compares the Common Share price of the Company with that of the 2020 Comparator Group during the year. The US$ Common Share price increased by 40% and the C$ Common Share price increased by 38%, an overall increase of US$5.4 billion in market capitalization during 2020. The Company’s price performance ranked in the 43^rd percentile relative to the 2020 Comparator Group.

Operational Excellence measures three principal areas and is capped at an overall 200% performance factor:

•

Payable Ounces performance metric measures the percentage by which the Company exceeded (missed) its annual budgeted payable ounces;

•

Production Ounces performance metric measures the percentage by which the Company exceeded (missed) its annual production guidance; and

•

Expense Control performance metric measures the percentage by which the actual general and administration expense of the Company for 2020 is less than (exceeds) the budgeted general and administration expense for 2020, adjusting for certain matters that were not appropriate to take into account in evaluating management’s ability to control expenses.

For the year ended December 31, 2020, the Human Resources Committee considered that production guidance was revised downwards by only ~5% despite the impact of COVID-19 and the Company met that revised production guidance.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[60]

The Environment, Health, Safety & Sustainability performance objective is a qualitative assessment of the Company’s commitment and contribution to: business ethics; the environment; health and safety; community development and sustainability by the Company and its employees (collectively, the “CSR Program”). The Human Resources Committee assessed a performance factor of 200% based on consideration of:

•

Wheaton published its inaugural Sustainability Report;

•

Wheaton now ranked an ESG Global 50 Top Rated Company out of 12,000 and #1 out of 112 precious metals companies by Sustainalytics in sustainability;

•

the Company was upgraded by ISS Oekom ESG Ratings to “Prime” so that the Company’s common shares qualify for responsible investment;

•

the Company was upgraded from an “A” to “AA” by MSCI ESG Ratings;

•

the Company received an improved rating on the CDP Climate Change Questionnaire, indicating the Company is taking coordinated action on climate issues;

•

the Company offset all Scope 2 and Scope 3 emissions to achieve a carbon neutral designation;

•

the Company’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic ensured business continuity in a safe manner;

•

the Company launched US$5 million Community Support and Response Fund in order to support the global efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

the Company included certain environmental and sustainability requirements as part of Marmato mine streaming transaction; and

•

the Company contributed US$5.8 million to over 100 organizations around the world.

As part of its consideration of the Discretionary Overall Qualitative Adjustment, the Human Resources Committee retains discretion to adjust the Corporate Performance actual results if necessary to ensure that they are fair and reasonable under the circumstances, rather than rigidly adhering to a formulaic approach that might not take into account developments during the year, intangibles in assessing the quality of an asset, comparisons of the resulting payout to the 2020 Comparator Group and other considerations not reflected within the Corporate Performance objectives above.

In determining whether to apply its discretion to provide a qualitative adjustment in respect of the 2020 year, the Human Resources Committee considered the compensation of the 2020 Comparator Group, together with other factors, including:

•

the efforts by management to seek out and pursue new streaming opportunities;

•

the completion of two streaming transactions during 2020;

•

realization of US$163 million from sale of long-term equity investments;

•

the listing of the Company’s Common Shares on the London Stock Exchange;

•

the final settlement of the US Class Action with no cost to the Company; and

•

the implementation of the at-the-market equity offering program (“ATM Program”).

Taking into account all of the foregoing, the Human Resources Committee determined to not make an overall qualitative adjustment to the Corporate Performance assessment in respect of the 2020.

Weighted Total Corporate Performance is calculated based upon the Total Corporate Performance Assessment for each Named Executive Officer multiplied by that Named Executive Officer’s Total Corporate Performance Weighting (as set out in the table entitled “Target Bonus and Weightings” on page 58.

Personal Performance Objectives

The Personal Performance objective is based in part on a qualitative assessment by the Chief Executive Officer and Human Resources Committee on personal performance of the Named Executive Officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, and by the Human Resources Committee alone on personal performance of the Chief Executive Officer.

Evaluation of personal performance factors is subjective, but generally include elements of strategy, financial goals, operational success, employee development, corporate sustainability and community commitment, while also considering quality of work, effort undertaken and leadership abilities. Individualized personal objectives were established for each Named Executive Officer which were assessed as part of the year-end performance assessment. Some of the key accomplishments for the Named Executive Officers during the year ended December 31, 2020 included:

•

Strategy – reviewed and assessed opportunities with a total upfront value of US$6.4 billion, completed two of the eight streaming transactions completed in 2020, listed the Company’s Common Shares on the London Stock Exchange and completed record amounts of investor reach out and marketing;

•

Financial Goals – extended the Revolving Facility and reduced interest rate pricing, realized significant gains on the sale of long-term investments, initiated the ATM Program, significantly reduced the Company’s debt, with net debt as at December 31, 2020 being US$2 million. Net debt equals bank debt less cash and cash equivalents. See “Non-IFRS Measures” in Schedule B to this management information circular;

•

Operational Success – despite COVID-19, production guidance was revised downwards by only ~5% and the Company met that revised production guidance;

•

Employee Development – continued to focus on employee development and engagement, including ongoing support of all employees though the COVID-19 pandemic;

•

Corporate Sustainability – issued first corporate Sustainability Report; and

•

Community Commitment – launched US$5 million Community Support and Response Fund in order to support the global efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, continued with commitment to community organizational involvement and committed to ongoing diversity training and inclusion.

Overall Annual Performance Based Cash Incentive - 2020

In determining the total annual performance-based cash incentive, the Human Resources Committee applied a Total Corporate Performance Assessment (as determined above) and the personal performance assessment for each of the Named Executive Officers. The Human Resources Committee does retain discretion to adjust the total annual performance based cash incentive if necessary to ensure that it is fair and reasonable under the circumstances, rather than rigidly adhering to a formulaic approach that might not take into account developments during the year, intangibles in assessing the quality of an asset, comparisons of the resulting payout to the 2020 Comparator Group and other considerations not reflected with the annual performance based cash incentive.

Given the achievements of the Company during 2020 (as described in the Discretionary Overall Qualitative Adjustment section of the heading Corporate Performance Objectives above), the Board did not apply an additional discretionary increase to the annual performance-based cash incentive for each of the Named Executive Officers. As a result of the foregoing, with respect to the financial year ended December 31, 2020, bonuses were awarded to the following Named Executive Officers in March 2021:

Long-Term Incentive Plan – Stock Options, Restricted Share Rights and Performance Share Units

The Company’s long-term incentive plan is designed to advance the interests of the Company by encouraging eligible participants (employees, officers and consultants) to have equity participation in the Company through the acquisition of Common Shares. The Company targets an award that results in approximately 50% of the value of a Named Executive Officer’s long-term incentive plan award being awarded in performance share units, 25% in stock options and 25% in Restricted Share Rights.

Annually, the Chief Executive Officer proposes a long-term incentive plan award for executive officers in his presentation to the Human Resources Committee based on an approximate target award (as set out in table below), a comparison of the long-term compensation to a comparator group and such other factors as the Chief Executive Officer determines to be relevant. The Human Resources Committee considers the Chief Executive Officer’s recommendations in addition to the findings in Mercer’s report, in making its recommendation to the Board regarding any stock options and performance share units to be granted. In addition, the Human Resources Committee considered the long-term award of stock options, restricted share rights and performance share units made in March 2020 compared to the 2019 Comparator Group for the Named Executive Officers.

As a result of the foregoing, the target awards and actual awards for 2020 long-term compensation expressed as a percentage of base salary were as follows:

2020 Stock Option Awards

As a result of the foregoing and on the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee, the Board granted stock options to the Named Executive Officers as set forth in the table below in March 2020.

For the purposes of the award of stock options made in March 2020 to the Named Executive Officers: (i) the grant date was the third trading day following the release of the 2019 financial results of the Company; and (ii) the exercise price for each option was determined to be equal to the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the second trading day following the release of the 2019 financial results of the Company. For the award of options: (i) the vesting schedule is the first anniversary date of the grant date for one half of the award and the second anniversary date of the grant for the final one half of the award; and (ii) the stock options are exercisable for a five-year period following the grant date. For further details regarding the terms of the Share Option Plan, see “Share Option Plan” at page 84.

The Board has approved changes to the Company’s compensation program such that future grants of stock options made after December 31, 2020 will have a seven-year term with a vesting schedule of 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant.

The total number of stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers in 2020 represents approximately 0.05% of the Common Shares outstanding as of March 22, 2021.

The amounts in this column are calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. This is consistent with the accounting values used in the Company’s financial statements. The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton model given its prevalence of use within North America. Key assumptions and estimates used in the model include an expected average option life of 2.5 years, a discount rate based on the average yields of two year and three year Government of Canada benchmark bonds and a volatility of 30% based on historical volatility of the stock price of the Company as traded on the TSX during the 2.5 year period immediately preceding the grant date.

2020 Restricted Share Right Awards

On the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee as discussed under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Plan – Stock Options, Restricted Share Rights and Performance Share Units” on page 64, the Board granted Restricted Share Units to the Named Executive Officers as set forth in the table below in March 2020.

Each Restricted Share Right entitles the holder to one Common Share on the later of (i) the end of a restricted period of time determined at the time of grant, and (ii) a date determined by a holder that is after the restricted period of time but at or before retirement or termination. Further details regarding Restricted Share Rights are and the Restricted Share Plan are described on page 87 under the heading “Restricted Share Plan”.

The Board has approved changes to the Company’s compensation program such that future grants of Restricted Share Rights made after December 31, 2020 will have restricted periods that expire as to 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant.

2020 Performance Share Unit Awards

On the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee as discussed under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Plan – Stock Options, Restricted Share Rights and Performance Share Units” on page 64, the Board granted Performance Share Units to the Named Executive Officers as set forth in the table below in March 2020.

Performance Share Units entitle the holder to a cash payment at the end of a specified performance period in an amount equal to the number of Performance Share Units held, multiplied by a multiplier as determined pursuant to certain specified performance criteria, multiplied by the fair market value of a Common Share as of the end of the performance period. Further details regarding the Performance Share Units and the Performance Share Unit Plan are described on page 86 under the heading “Performance Share Unit Plan”.

With respect to the particular award of Performance Share Units made in March 2020, the performance period is three years commencing March 16, 2020. The multiplier to apply at the end of the performance period is determined in accordance with the following table depending on the percentile that the total shareholder return of a Common Share (assuming reinvestment of all dividends) represents to the total shareholder return of the comparator group described below:

Wheaton Return Compared to Comparator Returns		Multiplier
•	performance below the 37.5^th percentile	0	%
•	threshold performance at the 37.5^th percentile	50	%
•	performance at the median (50^th percentile)	100	%
•	maximum performance at the 75^th percentile	200	%

The comparator group for the 2020 Performance Share Unit awards was comprised of: (i) the common shares of each of the following companies:

Hochschild Mining plc	Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd.
Hecla Mining Company	Osisko Gold Royalties
SSR Mining Inc.	Newcrest Mining Limited
Fresnillo plc	Altius Minerals Corporation
Franco-Nevada Corporation	Sandstorm Gold Ltd.
Royal Gold, Inc.	Barrick Gold Corporation
Pan American Silver Corp.	Agnico Eagle Mines Limited

(ii) the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index; and (iii) the silver and gold price (collectively, the “PSU Comparator Group”). Provision is made to address situations where a comparator ceases to exist, or ceases to be relevant, or the Human Resources Committee otherwise determines in its sole discretion to add or remove a comparator in the comparator group.

As a result of a review of the PSU Comparator Group in early 2021, the Human Resources Committee determined to make the following changes to the PSU Comparator Group:

•

to remove the Philadelphia Gold & Silver Index and Altius Minerals Corporation, and

•

to add B2 Gold Corp., Centerra Gold Inc., Kinross Gold Corp., Newmont Corporation, and Yamana Gold Inc.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[67]

As a result of these changes, the comparator group for the 2021 Performance Share Unit awards is comprised of: (i) the common shares of each of the following companies:

Agnico Eagle Mines Limited	Kirkland Lake Gold Ltd.
B2 Gold Corp.	Newcrest Mining Limited
Barrick Gold Corporation	Newmont Corporation
Centerra Gold Inc.	Osisko Gold Royalties
Franco-Nevada Corporation	Pan American Silver Corp.
Fresnillo plc	Royal Gold, Inc.
Hecla Mining Company	Sandstorm Gold Ltd.
Hochschild Mining plc	SSR Mining Inc.
Kinross Gold Corp.	Yamana Gold Inc.

and (ii) the silver and gold price (the “Adjusted PSU Comparator Group”).

The PSU Comparator Group and the Adjusted PSU Comparator Group differ from the 2019 Comparator Group and the 2020 Comparator Group because of the different purposes for which the comparator groups are used. The PSU Comparator Group and Adjusted PSU Comparator Group measure Company performance, with the result that the PSU Comparator Group and Adjusted Comparator Group are comprised of companies that are either royalty/streaming companies or silver mining companies of a similar size and complexity to the Company, and whose company performance the Company views as being comparable to its own. The 2019 Comparator Group and 2020 Comparator Group, on the other hand, are used to benchmark Named Executive Officer base salary, annual performance-based cash incentives and long-term incentives, and is therefore intended to be more reflective of a comparator group with which the Company competes for employees and officers.

If the total shareholder return of a Common Share is greater than the lowest PSU Comparator Group or Adjusted PSU Comparator Group return and less than the highest PSU Comparator Group or Adjusted PSU Comparator Group return, then interpolation between the returns nearest to the total shareholder return of a Common Share will be used to determine the percentile achieved. Interpolation will also be used to determine the multiplier if the percentile that the total shareholder return of a Common Share represents is between the threshold performance (37.5^th percentile) and the median or if such percentile is between the median and the maximum performance (75^th percentile) range. The multiplier is capped at 100% if the total shareholder return of a Common Share for the performance period is negative.

On the recommendation of the Human Resources Committee as discussed under the heading “Long-Term Incentive Plan – Stock Options, Restricted Share Rights and Performance Share Units” on page 64, the Board granted Performance Share Units to the Named Executive Officers as set forth in the table below in March 2020.

(1)

These Performance Share Units have a three-year performance period commencing March 16, 2020. Calculated by multiplying the grant date fair value of the Performance Share Unit (being the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on March 13, 2020 of C$33.47). As PSUs are settled in cash, the accounting values used in the Company’s financial statements for determining the value of PSUs reflects the value of the anticipated settlement at the end of the associated performance period which is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect fair market value of common shares and the number of PSUs anticipated to vest based on the anticipated performance factor.

Retirement Plans

For Canadian employees, the Company matches employee contributions to a registered retirement savings plan (“RRSP”) up to a maximum of 9% of base salary, or C$13,250, whichever is lower.

In addition, effective January 1, 2019, the Company adopted the SERP. Under the SERP, at the end of each year the Company will make a notional contribution to each Canada employee’s account equal to the lesser of (i) 18% of the excess, if any, of the difference between an employee’s earnings for the year and the earnings required to max out the RRSP limit for that year, and (ii) 10% (15% in the case of the CEO, President and Senior Vice Presidents) of an employee’s earnings for a year, less any amount contributed by the Company to the employee’s RRSP for that year. For purposes of the SERP, earnings are calculated based upon an employee’s base salary in respect of that year plus the target bonus for an employee under the annual performance-based cash incentive plan. The Company will accrue notional interest at the end of each year equal to the amount contributed to an employee’s account as of the end of the prior year multiplied by the annual average five-year Government of Canada benchmark bond yield. The SERP is an unfunded plan. The SERP provides that if an employee has been with the Company for at least five years, then upon cessation of the employee’s employment with the Company (whether as a result of termination, resignation, retirement or death), the employee will receive the amount in the employee’s account in 10 equal annual instalments, in a single lump sum, or in equal instalments over a one to nine year period, as determined by the employee. The notional amounts contributed into the accounts for the NEOs for the year ended December 31, 2020 are set out in the Summary Compensation Table on page 76.

As required under certain statutory provisions, in respect of certain employees of Wheaton International, contributions are made to a third-party plan (the “Caymanian Plan”). Amounts contributed under the Caymanian Plan are invested through the British Caymanian Pensions.

The Company does not have any other pension plans or other supplemental employee retirement plans.

Other Compensation – Perquisites

During the financial year ended December 31, 2020, none of the Named Executive Officers received perquisites that in the aggregate were greater than C$50,000 or 10% of the respective Named Executive Officer’s salary, other than as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table.

Executive Share Ownership Policy

The Company has adopted a policy (the “Executive Share Ownership Policy”) which requires certain officers of the Company to hold a minimum number of Common Shares equal to three times base salary for the CEO and two times base salary for all other NEOs. Under the Executive Share Ownership Policy:

•

the ownership requirement must be attained within four years of becoming an officer and must be maintained throughout their tenure as such an officer; and

•

in calculating Common Share holdings, the officer may include any Restricted Share Rights and Performance Share Units held but may not include any stock options held.

The Human Resources Committee will periodically review and make recommendations to the Board as to what level of shareholding requirement is appropriate under the Executive Share Ownership Policy.

The following table provides information regarding the share ownership, actual and required, for each Named Executive Officer as of December 31, 2020.

Policy Regarding Certain Financial Instruments

The Board has adopted a policy that restricts all directors, officers and Vice-Presidents of the Company from entering into certain financial instruments that are designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of: (i) compensation paid in equity in the Company that has not yet vested; (ii) equity in the Company that the individual is required to hold to satisfy the requirements of the Executive or Director Share Ownership Policy; or (ii) any other equity in the Company if the individual does not hold the underlying equity.

Executive Compensation Claw Back Policy

The Board has adopted an executive compensation claw back policy. Under the policy, compensation paid by the Company to an executive may be clawed back if there is a restatement of financial results where the executive engaged in fraud or misconduct which caused the restatement and resulted in the executive receiving higher compensation than otherwise would have been received.

Consideration of Risk Associated with Executive Compensation

The Audit Committee has the overall responsibility to identify, review and assess significant business, political, financial and control risks and exposures, and as part of that general mandate, considers significant risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices. However, without limiting or reducing the scope of the Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities with respect to risk, the Board has also charged the Human Resources Committee with a complementary responsibility to identify, review and assess risks specifically associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices, in order to facilitate a more granular review of risk as part of the overall consideration of the Company’s compensation policies and practices.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[71]

In fulfilling its responsibilities, the Human Resources Committee’s is required to:

•

adopt such practices as may be appropriate to identify and mitigate any compensation program that could encourage an executive officer to take inappropriate or excessive risks;

•

review the compensation program with a view to identifying, reviewing and assessing any risks and developing a mitigation strategy if determined appropriate in the circumstances; and

•

identify any risks arising from the compensation program that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Human Resources Committee’s review of the Company’s compensation program is initiated through a detailed risk assessment of the compensation program prepared by management, which identifies risks associated with the Company’s compensation program and evaluates those risks on the basis of an impact assessment, likelihood of occurrence assessment, and an overall assessment of the effectiveness of the current compensation practice taking into account any mitigation strategies or practices. The Human Resources Committee members review that assessment based on their own expertise and knowledge of the Company’s compensation program.

As a result of the foregoing review, there were no aspects of the compensation program that were identified as being reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Contributing to that conclusion, a number of factors were identified that mitigated the potential for excessive risk taking, including:

Wheaton Risk Management Policy	Application	Why it is important
Balanced Approach to Compensation	Applies to executives and all employees	The Company has adopted a balanced compensation program consisting of base salary, retirement plan, bonus and long-term compensation which discourage inappropriate risk-taking
Significant Proportion of Long-term Compensation	Applies to executives and all employees	A significant portion of the Company’s compensation is paid in long-term compensation (50% for the CEO for the year ended December 31, 2020) which is designed to align the interests of management with the interests of the Company’s shareholders
Performance	Applies to executives and all employees	The Company relies on a number of corporate and personal performance metrics for payouts under the annual performance-based cash incentive
Caps on Compensation	Applies to executives and all employees	The Company has adopted caps on non-equity performance awards and the number of performance share units vesting, each equal to 200%
Claw Back Policy	Applies to executives	Compensation may be clawed back if there is a restatement of financial results where the executive engaged in fraud or misconduct which caused the restatement and resulted in the executive receiving higher compensation than otherwise would have received
Anti-Hedging Policy	Applies to executives, directors and Vice-Presidents	The Company prohibits entering into hedging transactions with the Company’s common shares
Oversight and Human Resources Committee Discretion	Applies to executives	The Company has strong governance practices and oversight of the compensation program, together with Human Resources Committee discretion with respect to payouts under the annual performance-based cash incentive and other elements of the compensation program
Executive Share Ownership	Applies to executives	The Company requires holding common shares equal in value to 3x base salary for CEO and 2x salary for other executives

Succession Planning for President and Chief Executive Officer

The Board is responsible for succession planning for the role of the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and the Human Resources Committee is responsible for providing recommendations to the Board on succession planning for the President and Chief Executive Officer.

The Human Resources Committee formally considers succession planning for the President and Chief Executive Officer at meetings held in March of each year.

The Board recognizes that succession planning at the Company is challenged by the limited number of employees the Company has. The Company has a total of 40 employees as of March 22, 2021, including 14 employees of Wheaton International located in the Cayman Islands. Ultimately, an external hire may be necessary for the President and Chief Executive Officer role depending on the circumstances at the time of the vacancy. The Board seeks opportunities to interact with and develop potential eventual internal successors. The Board also encourages all employees to engage in professional development and training to improve their skills and abilities.

Pay for Performance Alignment

As the most significant element of compensation paid to executives is provided in the form of equity compensation, which is intended to align with shareholder experience, the Company believes there is a strong link between executive compensation and Company performance. The chart below provides a comparison between three-year total shareholder return and the reported Summary Compensation Table pay for the CEO of the Company for the most recent year ended December 31, 2020, as compared with the 2020 Comparator Group. Where some of the 2020 reported Summary Compensation Table pay for the 2020 Comparator Group was not publicly available as of the date of this management information circular, for purposes of comparing Summary Compensation Table pay, reported Summary Compensation Table Pay for the 2019 financial year of the 2019 Comparator Group was used. Total shareholder return was calculated over a three-year period ended December 31, 2020 and assumes reinvestment of dividends paid during the period.

S&P/TSX Global Mining Index	100.00	144.44	169.6	164.11	205.81	261.51

The performance graph illustrates that Wheaton has overall significantly outperformed both the S&P/TSX Global Mining Index (“Global Mining Index”) and the S&P/TSX Composite Index over the five most recently completed financial years of the Company. Wheaton’s performance has aligned with both the S&P/TSX Composite Index and the Global Mining Index at differing points in the periods.

While share price is an important factor in Wheaton’s target corporate performance, the Human Resources Committee recognizes that management has little ability to influence commodity prices (which have a significant impact on the Company’s share price performance) and therefore does not place undue emphasis on share price performance in its evaluation of NEO performance. Other factors, as set out above under “Overview of How Compensation Program Fits with Compensation Goals” play a more significant role in the determination of executive compensation, including actions and decisions by management that support overall business strategy and operation of the business.

The Company’s share price performance does, however, have a significant impact on the NEO’s net realizable pay. A significant portion of the NEO total compensation is paid in long term incentive plan awards (43% of the CEO’s total compensation in 2020), the value of which will vary depending on the share price performance of the Company.

Net Realizable Pay

The Company has included additional information showing the Chief Executive Officer’s realizable pay in the graph below. Realizable pay adjusts the calculation of compensation set out in the Summary Compensation Table to reflect the actual value of compensation realizable as at December 31, 2020 rather than grant-date value. The Company believes that the net realizable pay disclosure provides shareholders with an additional tool for evaluating pay of Named Executive Officers as it reflects the amount that is actually realizable by a Named Executive Officer. To assist with understanding the difference between the compensation set out in the Summary Compensation Table and the net realizable pay, the Company has also included the value of the Common Shares at the year-end for each of the periods in the graph below.

For the purposes of net realizable pay, the Company has made adjustments as follows:

Compensation Element		Net Realizable Pay Disclosure Adjustment
Salary		None
Annual Incentive Plan (Cash Bonuses)		None
Share-Based Awards (PSUs)		Based on information available as of the date of this management information circular. The value is based upon PSU payouts for PSU awards that have vested. For PSU awards that have not vested, the value is calculated using the closing price of the Common Shares on March 19, 2021 and an estimated performance factor which is consistent with those used in the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.
Share-Based Awards (RSUs)		The value for RSUs is calculated using the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on December 31, 2020.
Option-Based Awards		The value of options granted in any year is calculated based on the difference between the closing price of Common Shares on the TSX and the exercise price: (i) as of December 31, 2020 in the case of options granted in such year that remain outstanding as of December 31, 2020; and (ii) as of the date of exercise in the case of options granted in such year but exercised prior to December 31, 2020.

Five Year Net Realizable Pay, Summary Compensation Table Pay and Common Share prices – Chief Executive Officer

Net realizable pay for the years 2016 through 2020 was considerably higher for all periods than the reported total compensation for the Chief Executive Officer as set out in the Summary Compensation Table as illustrated above, reflecting the significant impact of the increase in the price of the Common Shares on the realizable value of share-based and option-based awards. The price of the Common Shares increased by more than double from 2016 to 2020.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table provides information for the three most recently completed financial years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 regarding compensation earned by each of the Named Executive Officers.

The aggregate total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers represented 2% of the net earnings of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020, or approximately 2% of the adjusted net earnings of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(1)

All compensation in this Summary Compensation Table is paid in Canadian dollars. Mr. Smallwood does not receive any additional compensation relating to his role as a director.

(2)

The amounts in this column represent the combined value of the Performance Share Units and Restricted Share Rights which were granted during the years in question. Restricted Share Rights are settled in Common Shares on the later of (i) the end of a restricted period of time determined at the time of the grant, and (ii) a date determined by a holder that is after the restricted period of time but before retirement or termination. The amounts in this column relating to Restricted Share Rights for 2020 are calculated by multiplying the grant date fair value of the Restricted Share Rights (being the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX as of the day before the award was made) by the number of Restricted Share Rights awards. This is consistent with the accounting values used in the Company’s financial statements. Performance Share Units are paid out in cash following a three-year performance period, based on the fair market value of a Common Share as at the end of the performance period and the achievement of certain performance criteria during such time. The amounts in this column relating to Performance Share Units are calculated by multiplying the grant date fair value of the Performance Share Units (being the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX as of the day before the award was made) by the number of Performance Share Units awarded. As PSUs are settled in cash, the accounting values used in the Company’s financial statements for determining the value of Performance Share Units reflects the value of the anticipated settlement at the end of the associated performance period which is adjusted at the end of each reporting period to reflect fair market value of common shares and the number of Performance Share Units anticipated to vest based on the anticipated performance factor.

(3)

The amounts in this column are calculated using the Black-Scholes-Merton model. This is consistent with the accounting values used in the Company’s financial statements. The Company selected the Black-Scholes-Merton model given its prevalence of use within North America. Key assumptions and estimates for all employees used in the model include an average expected option life of 2.5 years, a discount rate based on the average yields of 2 year and 3 year Government of Canada benchmark bonds and a volatility of 30% for 2020 and 2019 and 35% for 2018, which is based on the historical volatility of the stock price as traded on the TSX of the Company during the 2.5 year period immediately preceding the grant date.

(4)

Amounts in this column are paid as annual cash bonuses in respect of the financial year noted. These payments are generally made by April 15 of the following financial year.

(5)

Amounts in this column represent notional amounts contributed to the NEO’s account under the SERP.

(6)

The value of all perquisites for each Named Executive Officer did not exceed the lesser of C$50,000 and 10% of the total salary of such Named Executive Officer in 2020, and are therefore not included in “All other compensation” as permitted under Canadian securities laws. All perquisites have a direct cost to the Company and were valued on this basis.

Termination and Change of Control Benefits

The Company has entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Smallwood, Brown, Bernardi, Hodaly and Drouin which are summarized below.

A “Change of Control” is defined in these employment agreements as (a) less than 50% of the Board being comprised of (i) directors of the Company at the time the respective agreements are entered into or (ii) any director who subsequently becomes a director with the agreement of at least a majority of the members of the Board at the time the agreement was entered into; (b) the acquisition by any person or persons acting jointly and in concert of 40% or more of the issued and outstanding Common Shares; or (c) the sale by the Company of property or assets aggregating more than 50% of its consolidated assets or which generate more than 50% of its consolidated operating income or cash flow during the most recently completed financial year or during the current financial year.

The applicable Change of Control provisions for the Named Executive Officers are “double-trigger” because they require a Change of Control and the termination or effective termination of the NEO.

Other than described above, the Company and its subsidiaries have no compensatory plans or arrangements with respect to the Named Executive Officers that results or will result from the resignation, retirement or any other termination of employment of such officers’ employment with the Company and its subsidiaries, from a change of control of the Company and its subsidiaries or a change in the Named Executive Officers’ responsibilities following a change of control.

As at December 31, 2020, options to purchase an aggregate of 1,786,817 Common Shares, representing approximately 0.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, were outstanding under the Share Option Plan and 16,348,449 Common Shares have been issued upon exercise of options granted under the Share Option Plan. This leaves 2,864,734 Common Shares, representing approximately 0.6% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, available for issuance under the Share Option Plan. The total number of stock options granted to the Named Executive Officers in 2020 represents approximately 0.05% of the Common Shares outstanding as of March 22, 2021. The total number of stock options granted in 2020 (including to Named Executive Officers) represents approximately 0.10% of the Common Shares outstanding as of March 22, 2021. Any options granted under the Share Option Plan and which have been cancelled or terminated in accordance with the terms of the Share Option Plan without having been exercised will again be available for re-granting under the Share Option Plan. However, any options granted under the Share Option Plan and exercised will not be available for re-granting under the Share Option Plan. The annual burn rate of the Share Option Plan for each of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal years is as follows:

Share Option Plan	2018			2019			2020
Number of stock options granted during fiscal year		549,210			583,500			451,110
Weighted average number of shares outstanding		443,407,000			446,021,000			448,694,000
Annual Burn Rate		0.12	%		0.13	%		0.10	%

The maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders, at any time, pursuant to the Share Option Plan and any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, is 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding. The maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders, within any one year period, pursuant to the Share Option Plan and any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, is 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding. The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares reserved for issuance to any one person pursuant to the Share Option Plan is 5% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding.

Options granted under the Share Option Plan have an exercise price of not less than the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the option is granted and are exercisable for a period determined by the Board, not to exceed ten years, subject to extension if they would otherwise expire during, or on or before the date which is two trading days after the last day of a blackout period (see below for further details). All currently outstanding options are exercisable for a period of five years from the date of the award. The vesting of stock options is at the discretion of the Board. At December 31, 2020, 842,645 of the outstanding options issued under the Share Option Plan remained unvested. In the event of a change of control, all outstanding unvested options will become immediately exercisable notwithstanding any vesting provisions. The Board has approved changes so that grants of stock options made after December 31, 2020 will have a seven-year term with a vesting schedule of 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant. Options granted under the Share Option Plan are not transferable or assignable and will cease to be exercisable: (i) within a period of 30 days following the termination of an optionee’s employment or upon retirement, subject to the Board’s discretion; and (ii) within a period of time following the death of an optionee in the discretion of the Board, not to exceed 12 months following the date of death. Under the terms of the option plan, the Company is not permitted to re-price any issued and outstanding options to a lower exercise price.

Subject to receipt of requisite shareholder and regulatory approval, the Board may make, among other amendments, the following amendments to the Share Option Plan: (a) change the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Share Option Plan; (b) change the definition of eligible participants which would have the potential of broadening insider participation; (c) add any form of financial assistance or amend any financial assistance provision which is more favourable to participants; (d) add a cashless exercise feature which does not provide for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the Share Option Plan reserve; (e) add a deferred or restricted share rights or any other provision which results in participants receiving securities while no cash consideration is received by the Company; (f) discontinue the Share Option Plan; and (g) any other amendments that may lead to significant or unreasonable dilution in the Company’s outstanding securities or may provide additional benefits to eligible participants at the expense of the Company and its shareholders. In addition, the Board may not amend the Stock Option Plan to allow for re-pricing of outstanding options without obtaining both shareholder and regulatory approval.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[85]

Subject to receipt of requisite regulatory approval, where required, and without further shareholder approval, the Board may make any other amendments to the Share Option Plan including: (a) amendments to the vesting provisions of a security of the Share Option Plan; (b) amendments to the termination provisions of a security of the Share Option Plan which does not entail an extension beyond the original expiry date; and (c) adding a cashless exercise feature which provides for a full deduction of the number of underlying securities from the Share Option Plan reserve.

The Share Option Plan allows the expiry date of options granted thereunder to be the tenth day following the end of a self-imposed blackout period on trading securities of the Company in the event that they would otherwise expire during, or on or before the date which is two trading days after the last day of such a blackout.

Performance Share Unit Plan

The Company’s performance share unit plan (the “PSU Plan”) was approved by the Board in March 2011 and has been amended by the Board effective March 21, 2018. Under the March 21, 2018 amendment (i) declared dividends payable on outstanding Performance Share Units will be payable in cash at the end of the expiry of the performance period rather than by the issuance of further Performance Share Units, (ii) leaves of absences will result in an adjustment to new Performance Share Unit awards rather than adjusting the amount payable in cash at the end of the expiry of the performance period for outstanding Performance Share Units, and (iii) certain other administrative changes were made. Shareholder approval was not required for this amendment in accordance with the terms of the PSU Plan.

The PSU Plan provides a framework for the issuance of performance share units (“Performance Share Units” or “PSUs”) which entitle the holder to a cash payment at the end of a specified performance period equal to the number of Performance Share Units granted, multiplied by a performance factor, and multiplied by the fair market value of a Common Shares at the expiry of the performance period. The specific elements of the PSU Plan are described in more detail below, and the specific elements of the award made to the Named Executive Officers in 2020 are described under the heading “2020 Performance Share Unit Awards” on page 67.

The PSU Plan provides that PSUs may be granted by the Board or, if so determined by the Board, a committee of the Board (the “Committee”) which administers the PSU Plan to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company as a discretionary payment in consideration of past and future services to the Company. The current intention of the Company is to use the PSU Plan for grants of PSUs to certain of the employees and officers of the Company.

There is no maximum number of PSUs that may be issued. The PSU Plan is for non-U.S. participants only and is settled in cash only, not Common Shares. As at March 22, 2021, an aggregate of 655,727 PSUs were issued and outstanding.

The Committee determines the terms and conditions of each award of PSUs at the time of the award, establishing the number of PSUs to be awarded to each participant, the performance period, the performance criteria, and any other terms and conditions the Committee may deem appropriate or necessary.

Each PSU entitles the holder to a cash payment equal to the fair market value of a Common Share at the end of the specified performance period multiplied by the applicable multiplier. The multiplier is determined according to the performance criteria established by the Committee at the time of the initial award of PSUs, but may not exceed 200%.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[86]

In the event of a participant’s: (i) retirement or termination during a performance period, any PSUs automatically terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee; (ii) death during a performance period, any PSUs accelerate with performance being calculated as of the quarter end before the date of death if the performance criteria is based on financial statements, or the day before the date of death if the performance criteria is based on any other metric; (iii) disability, any PSUs continue to vest according to the PSU Plan terms.

Any dividends declared on Common Shares will result in an increase to the amount payable in cash at the end of the expiry of the performance period.

In the event of a change of control, unless the Board determine otherwise, any PSUs will be converted into a cash value based on the performance criteria with performance being calculated as of the quarter end before the date of the change of control if the performance criteria is based on financial statements, or the day before the change of control if the performance criteria is based on any other metric. The cash value may, at the option of the Board, either be converted into shares of the acquiror or remain denominated as a dollar amount, to be paid out in either case in cash at the end of the original performance period, subject to certain accelerating events.

Under the PSU Plan, the Board may from time to time amend the terms of the PSU Plan, provided that the amendment does not adversely affect a participant with respect to any PSUs previously awarded.

Restricted Share Plan

The Company’s restricted share plan (the “Restricted Share Plan”) was approved by the Company’s shareholders at the annual and special meeting of shareholders held on May 17, 2005 and was subsequently amended by the Board on June 6, 2006 and May 9, 2017. On May 17, 2017 the Company received TSX acceptance for certain amendments to the Company’s Restricted Share Plan. Previously, restricted share rights (the “Restricted Share Rights” or “RSUs”) that vested and were deferred to retirement/termination or to a date following retirement/termination, were paid out at retirement/termination with no option to extend. As a result of the May 9, 2017 amendment, any outstanding RSUs can be extended at termination/retirement beyond retirement/termination with the consent of the Board of Directors. Shareholder approval was not required for this amendment in accordance with the terms of the Restricted Share Plan. A copy of the Restricted Share Plan is available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

WHEATON 2021 MANAGEMENT INFORMATION CIRCULAR

[87]

The Restricted Share Plan provides that Restricted Share Rights may be granted by the Board or, if so determined by the Board, a committee of the Board (the “Committee”) which administers the Restricted Share Plan to employees, officers, directors and consultants of the Company as a discretionary payment in consideration of past and future services to the Company. The current intention of the Company is to use the Restricted Share Plan for grants of Restricted Share Rights to the non-executive directors of the Company as part of their annual retainer (see “Director Compensation” above for details) and to employees of the Company (see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above for details of awards to Named Executive Officers). The aggregate maximum number of Common Shares that may be issued under the Restricted Share Plan is 2,000,000, representing approximately 0.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at December 31, 2020 and 0.4% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares as at March 22, 2021. An aggregate of 370,258 Restricted Share Rights, representing approximately 0.08% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, were outstanding as at December 31, 2020 under the Restricted Share Plan and 425,735 Common Shares have been issued upon expiry of restricted periods attached to outstanding Restricted Share Rights granted under the Restricted Share Plan. This leaves 1,204,007 Restricted Share Rights, representing approximately 0.3% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares, available for issuance under the Restricted Share Plan as of December 31, 2020. The annual burn rate of the Restricted Share Plan for each of the Company’s most recently completed fiscal years is as follows:

Restricted Share Plan	2018			2019			2020
Number of RSUs granted during fiscal year		161,060			132,620			132,960
Weighted average number of shares outstanding		443,407,000			446,021,000			448,694,000
Annual Burn Rate		0.04	%		0.03	%		0.03	%

The maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders, at any time, pursuant to the Restricted Share Plan and any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company is 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding. The maximum number of Common Shares issuable to insiders, within any one year period, pursuant to the Restricted Share Plan and any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company is 10% of the total number of Common Shares then outstanding.

A Restricted Share Right converts into one Common Share on the later of: (i) the end of a restricted period of time wherein a Restricted Share Right cannot be exercised as determined by the Committee (“Restricted Period”); and (ii) a date determined by an eligible participant that is after the Restricted Period and before a participant’s retirement date or termination date (a “Deferred Payment Date”).

Under the Restricted Share Plan, the Board may from time to time amend or revise the terms of the Restricted Share Plan or may discontinue the Restricted Share Plan at any time. Subject to receipt of requisite shareholder and regulatory approval, the Board may make amendments to the Restricted Share Plan to change the maximum number of Common Shares issuable under the Restricted Share Plan and to change the provisions relating to insider restrictions. All other amendments to the Restricted Share Plan may be made by the Board without obtaining shareholder approval, such amendments including an amendment to the restricted period of a Restricted Share Right or an amendment to the termination provisions of a Restricted Share Right. The Board has approved changes so that grants of Restricted Share Rights made after December 31, 2020 will have restricted periods that expire as to 1/3 on each of the first, second and third anniversary of the date of grant.

Canadian participants seeking to set or change a Deferred Payment Date must give the Company at least 30 days notice prior to the expiration of the Restricted Period in order to effect such change.

In the event of a participant’s retirement or termination during a Restricted Period, any Restricted Share Rights automatically terminate, unless otherwise determined by the Committee. Previously, Restricted Share Rights that vested and were deferred to retirement/termination or to a date following retirement/termination, were paid out at retirement/termination with no option to extend. As a result of the May 9, 2017 amendment, any outstanding RSUs can be extended at termination/retirement beyond retirement/termination with the consent of the Board of Directors. Otherwise, any Restricted Share Rights will be immediately exercised without any further action by the participant and the Company will issue Restricted Shares and any dividends declared but unpaid to the participant. In the event of death or disability, such Restricted Share Rights will be immediately exercised.

If a participant holds Restricted Share Rights that are subject to a Restricted Period, the Committee will have the discretion to pay a participant cash equal to any cash dividends declared on the Common Shares at the time such dividends are ordinarily paid to holders of the Common Shares. The Company will pay such cash dividends, if any, to those participants that hold Restricted Share Rights that are no longer subject to a Restricted Period and are exercisable at a Deferred Payment Date.

In the event of a change of control, all Restricted Share Rights will be immediately exercised notwithstanding the Restricted Period and any applicable Deferred Payment Date.

Special Matters

Say on Pay Advisory Vote

In March, 2013, the Board adopted a policy relating to executive compensation, known as “Say on Pay”, to give shareholders a formal opportunity to provide their views on the executive compensation plans of the Company through an annual advisory vote.

The Company will disclose the results of the vote as part of its report on the voting results for the Meeting. The advisory vote is non-binding on the Company and it remains the duty of the Board to develop and implement appropriate executive compensation policies for the Company. However, the Board will take the results into account when considering the executive compensation plans and policies of the Company for future periods. In the event that a significant number of shareholders oppose the resolution, the Board will endeavour to consult with its shareholders as appropriate (particularly those who are known to have voted against it) to understand their concerns and will review the Company’s approach to compensation in the context of those concerns. The Board will consider disclosing to shareholders as soon as is practicable, and no later than in the management information circular for its next annual meeting, a summary of any comments received from shareholders in the engagement process and any changes to the compensation plans made or to be made by the Board (or why no changes will be made).

At the Company’s last annual and special meeting of shareholders held on May 14, 2020, 75% of votes cast were voted in favour of the Company’s non-binding resolution on executive compensation.

The Board recognizes that “Say on Pay” policies are evolving in Canada and globally and will undertake reviews to determine if the policy is effective in achieving its objectives. The Board believes that it is important to have constructive engagement with its shareholders to allow and encourage shareholders to express their views on governance matters directly to the Board outside of the Meeting. These discussions are intended to be an interchange of views about governance and disclosure matters that are within the public domain and will not include a discussion of undisclosed material facts or material changes.

At the Meeting, the shareholders of the Company will be asked to consider a non-binding advisory resolution on executive compensation, known as “Say on Pay”, as follows:

“BE IT RESOLVED THAT on an advisory basis, and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board, that the shareholders accept the Board’s approach to executive compensation disclosed under the section entitled “Statement of Executive Compensation” in this management information circular delivered in advance of the Meeting.”

The Board and management recommend the adoption of the above resolution. To be effective, the non-binding advisory resolution on executive compensation must be approved by not less than a majority of the votes cast by the holders of Common Shares present in person, or represented by proxy, at the Meeting. Unless authority to do so is withheld, the persons named in the accompanying proxy intend to vote in favour of such resolution.

Schedule “B” – Non-IFRS Measures

Non-IFRS Measures

Wheaton has included, throughout this document, certain non-IFRS performance measures, including (i) adjusted net earnings; and (ii) net debt. These non-IFRS measures do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS, and other companies may calculate these measures differently. The presentation of these non-IFRS measures is intended to provide additional information and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with IFRS.

i Adjusted net earnings are calculated by removing the effects of non-cash impairment charges, non-cash fair value (gains) losses and other one-time (income) expenses as well as the reversal of non-cash income tax expense (recovery) which is offset by income tax expense (recovery) recognized in the Statements of Shareholders’ Equity and OCI, respectively. The Company believes that, in addition to conventional measures prepared in accordance with IFRS, management and certain investors use this information to evaluate the Company’s performance. The following table provides a reconciliation of adjusted net earnings.
