TO BE HELD AT 10:00 A.M. ON SEPTEMBER 27, 2024

Unless otherwise noted, the information in this management information circular (“Information Circular”) is given as at August 12, 2024.

This Information Circular is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the management (the “Management”) of Silvercorp Metals Inc. for use at the annual general meeting (the “Meeting”) of the shareholders of the Company (the “Shareholders”), to be held at the time and place and for the purposes set forth in the accompanying notice of Meeting (“Notice of Meeting”) and at any adjournments thereof. In this Information Circular, references to the “Company”, “we”, “our” and “Silvercorp” refer to Silvercorp Metals Inc. and its subsidiaries, unless stated otherwise. “Common Shares” means common shares without par value in the capital of the Company. “Options” and “RSUs” means the stock options and the restricted share units, respectively, granted to the directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company in accordance with the terms of the Company’s amended and restated share-based compensation plan (the “Omnibus Plan”). All currency amounts stated herein are expressed in lawful currency of the United States, unless otherwise specified.

Solicitation of Proxies

This solicitation is made on behalf of Management of the Company. Solicitation of proxies will be conducted by mail and may be supplemented by telephone or other personal contact to be made without special compensation by directors, officers, and employees of the Company or by the Company’s registrar and transfer agent. All costs of solicitation will be borne by the Company. The principal executive office of the Company is located at Suite 1750 – 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X1.

The registered and records office of the Company is located at Suite 1750 – 1066 West Hastings Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, V6E 3X1.

Notice and Access

The Company has elected to use the notice and access model (“Notice and Access”) provided for under National Instrument 54-101 – Communication with Beneficial Owners of Securities of a Reporting Issuer (“NI 54-101”) and National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations (“NI 51-102”) for distribution of the Notice of Meeting, the form of proxy (the “Proxy”) or voting information form (the “Voting Instruction Form”), as applicable, and this Information Circular (collectively, the “Meeting Materials”) to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders (each as defined below).

Under Notice and Access, instead of receiving a printed copy of the Meeting Materials, Shareholders receive a notice (the “Notice-and-Access Notification”) with information as to the date, location and purpose of the Meeting, as well as information on how they may access the Meeting Materials electronically. The Company adopted this alternative means of delivery for the Meeting Materials in order to reduce paper use, and the printing and mailing costs.

Shareholders are reminded to access and review all of the information contained in the Information Circular carefully before voting.

PROXY Instructions

Appointment of Proxyholder(s)

The persons named in the Proxy are directors and/or officers of the Company (“Management Designee”). A Registered Shareholder has the right to appoint a different person or company, who need not be a Shareholder, as proxyholder/alternate proxyholder to represent the Registered Shareholder at the Meeting by striking out the names of the persons named in the Proxy and inserting the name of that other person or company in the blank space provided. If you leave the space on the Proxy blank, those directors and/or officers named on the Proxy will be appointed to act as your proxyholder.

The Proxy must be signed in writing by the Registered Shareholder, or such Registered Shareholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing. If signed by a duly authorized attorney, the Proxy must be accompanied by the original power of attorney or a notarial certified copy thereof. If the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, the Proxy must be in writing signed by an officer or attorney of the corporation duly authorized by resolutions of the directors of such corporation, which resolutions must accompany such Proxy.

A Proxy will only be valid if it is duly completed, signed, dated and received at the Company’s registrar and transfer agent, Computershare Investor Services Inc. (“Computershare”), in accordance with the instructions provided on the Proxy, not less than forty-eight (48) hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and statutory holidays) prior to the time set for the holding of the Meeting, unless the Chairman of the Meeting elects to exercise his discretion to accept proxies received subsequently.

Late proxies may be accepted or rejected by the Chairman of the Meeting at his discretion. The Chairman of the Meeting is under no obligation to accept or reject any particular late proxy. The Chairman of the Meeting may waive or extend the proxy cut-off without notice.

REVOCATION OF PROXIES

A Registered Shareholder may revoke a Proxy by delivering an instrument in writing executed by the Registered Shareholder or by the Registered Shareholder’s attorney authorized in writing, or where the Registered Shareholder is a corporation, by a duly authorized officer or attorney of the corporation, either at the office of the Company at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting, or with the consent of the Chairman of the Meeting, on the day of the Meeting or on the day of any adjournment thereof, before any vote in respect of which the Proxy is to be used shall have been taken. A Registered Shareholder may also revoke a Proxy by depositing another properly executed Proxy bearing a later date with the Company’s registrar and transfer agent in the manner described above, or in any other manner permitted by law. A revocation of a Proxy does not affect any matter on which a vote has been taken prior to such revocation.

6

Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a Proxy. Non-Registered Shareholders (as defined below) who wish to change their voting instructions must, in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for the Company (where the Non-Registered Shareholder is a NOBO (as defined below)) or their Intermediaries (where the Non-Registered Shareholder is an OBO (as defined below)) to change their vote and, if necessary, revoke their Proxy.

How to Vote

Only Shareholders whose name appears on the records of the Company’s central security register (“Registered Shareholders”) as of the Record Date (as defined below) or their duly appointed proxyholders are permitted to vote at the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders (as defined below) are not permitted to vote at the Meeting unless they follow the instructions set forth below.

Registered Shareholders: If you are a Registered Shareholder, you may vote by attending the Meeting in person, or if you do not plan to attend the Meeting, by completing the Proxy and delivering it according to the instructions contained in the Proxy and this Information Circular. If you intend to attend the Meeting and vote your Common Shares in person, you do not need to complete a Proxy.

Non-Registered Shareholders: Most Shareholders are “non-registered” shareholders (“Non-Registered Shareholders”), meaning 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.

If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder, the documents that you receive, and who you receive them from, will vary depending upon whether you are a “non-objecting beneficial owner” (a “NOBO”), which means you have provided instructions to your Intermediary that you do not object to the Intermediary disclosing beneficial ownership information about you to the Company for certain purposes, or an “objecting beneficial owner” (an “OBO”), which means that you have provided instructions to your Intermediary that you object to the Intermediary disclosing such beneficial ownership information. In either case, you have the right to exercise voting rights attached to the Common Shares beneficially owned by you, including the right to attend and vote the Common Shares directly at the Meeting, if you follow the procedures outlined below.

Non-Objecting Beneficial Owners: If you are a NOBO, and unless you have previously informed your Intermediary that you do not wish to receive materials relating to the Meeting, you should receive or have already received from the Company or its agent a Notice-and-Access Notification and a Voting Instruction Form pursuant to NI 54-101. These security holder materials are being sent to both Registered Shareholders and Non-Registered Shareholders. If you are a Non-Registered Shareholder and the Company or its agent has sent these materials directly to you, your name and address and information about your holdings of Common Shares have been obtained in accordance with applicable securities regulatory requirements from the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf. By choosing to send these materials to you directly, the Company (and not the Intermediary holding the Common Shares on your behalf) has assumed responsibility for (i) delivering these materials to you, and (ii) executing your proper voting instructions. Please return your voting instructions as specified in the Voting Instruction Form.

If you wish to attend the Meeting and vote in person, write your name in the place provided for that purpose in the Voting Instruction Form provided to you and we will deposit it with our transfer agent, or, if you request on the Voting Instruction Form, we will send you a Proxy that will grant you or your appointee the right to attend the Meeting and vote in person. If you do not intend to attend the Meeting or have an appointee do so on your behalf but you wish your Common Shares to be voted, please complete and return the information requested in the Voting Instruction Form to provide your specific voting instructions. If you do not return your voting instructions as specified in the Voting Instruction Form, your Common Shares will not be voted.

Objecting Beneficial Owners: The Company does not intend to pay for Intermediaries to forward the proxy-related materials and Form 54-101F7 – Request for Voting Instructions Made by Intermediary to Non-Registered Shareholders who are OBOs under NI 54-101. OBOs will not receive the materials unless the OBO’s Intermediary assumes the cost of delivery. If you receive or have already received from your Intermediary either a Voting Instruction Form or a Proxy,

7

follow the instructions provided in order to ensure your Common Shares are voted in accordance with your instructions. Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own instructions. These procedures may allow for providing voting instructions by telephone, on the Internet, by mail or by fax. If you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should follow the procedure in the instructions provided by or on behalf of your Intermediary and insert your name in the space provided on the Voting Instruction Form or Proxy or request a form of legal proxy which will grant you the right to attend the Meeting and vote in person.

The purpose of the above procedures is to permit Non-Registered Shareholders to direct the voting of the Common Shares they beneficially own. In either case, Non-Registered Shareholders should carefully follow the instructions of their Intermediary or the Company, as applicable, 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 any waiver of their right to receive materials relating to a meeting which has been given to an Intermediary at any time by written notice to the Intermediary. An Intermediary is not required to act on a revocation of a Voting Instruction Form or of a waiver of the right to receive materials relating to a meeting which is not received by the Intermediary at least seven days prior to the Meeting.

Voting of Shares and Exercise of Discretion by Proxyholders

If you complete your Proxy properly, then the nominee named in your Proxy will vote or withhold from voting the Common Shares represented by the Proxy in accordance with your instructions on any ballot that may be called for and, if you specify a choice with respect to any matter to be acted upon, your Common Shares will be voted accordingly. If you do not specify a choice on any given matter to be voted upon, your Common Shares will be voted in favour of such matter. The Proxy grants the nominee the discretion to vote on amendments or variations to matters identified in the Notice of Meeting and with respect to other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. If any such amendments or variations are proposed to the matters described in the Notice of Meeting, or any other matters properly come before the Meeting, your proxyholder may vote your Common Shares as he or she considers best.

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

No Person has any material interest, direct or indirect, by way of beneficial ownership of securities or otherwise, in any matter to be acted upon at the Meeting other than the election of directors or the appointment of auditor. For the purpose of this paragraph, “Person” shall include each person: (a) who has been a director or executive officer of the Company at any time since the commencement of the Company’s last completed financial year; (b) who is a proposed nominee for election as a director of the Company; or (c) who is an associate or affiliate of a person included in subparagraphs (a) or (b).

Record Date, Voting Shares, and Principal Shareholders

The directors of the Company have fixed August 12, 2024 as the record date (the “Record Date”) for the determination of Shareholders entitled to receive the Notice of Meeting and to vote at the Meeting. Any such Registered Shareholder who either personally attends the Meeting, or has completed and delivered a Proxy in the manner and subject to the provisions described above shall be entitled to vote or to have his or her Common Shares voted at the Meeting. Non-Registered Shareholders should refer to the instructions above if they wish their Common Shares to be voted at the Meeting.

The Company is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Common Shares, each Common Share carrying the right to one vote. As of the Record Date, the Company has issued and outstanding 216,500,533 fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares. The Company has no other classes of shares.

On a show of hands, every individual who is present as a Registered Shareholder, or as a representative of a Registered Shareholder will have one vote (no matter how many Common Shares such Registered Shareholder holds). On a poll, every Registered Shareholder present in person or represented by Proxy and every person who is a representative of a Registered Shareholder will have one vote for each Common Share registered in the name of the Registered Shareholder on the list of Registered Shareholders, which is available for inspection during normal business hours at Computershare and which will be available at the Meeting.

8

To the knowledge of the directors and executive officers of the Company, there are no persons who, or companies that, beneficially own, or control or direct, directly or indirectly, Common Shares carrying 10% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding Common Shares of the Company.

PARTICULARS OF MATTERS TO BE ACTED UPON

RECEIVING THE AUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The audited consolidated financial statements of the Company for the year ended March 31, 2024, together with the auditor’s report thereon (the “Financial Statements”) will be presented to the shareholders at the Meeting. The Financial Statements are available under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, at http://www.envisionreports.com / https://silvercorpmetals.com/AGM and on the Company’s website at https://silvercorpmetals.com. A paper copy may be requested, at no charge to the shareholder, by calling the Corporate Secretary of the Company toll-free at 1-888-224-1881.

NUMBER OF DIRECTORS

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) presently consists of six directors. Management proposes that the number of directors on the Board be fixed at six (6). Shareholders will therefore be asked at the Meeting to approve an ordinary resolution that the number of directors elected be fixed at six (6) for the ensuing year, subject to such increases as may be permitted by the Articles of the Company and the provisions of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (“Business Corporations Act”).

The Board recommends a vote “FOR” the approval of the resolution setting the number of directors at six (6). In the absence of contrary instructions, the management proxy nominees named as proxyholders in the enclosed Proxy or Voting Instruction Form will cast the votes represented by any Proxy or Voting Instruction Form FOR the approval of the resolution setting the number of directors at six (6).

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Each director of the Company is elected annually and holds office until the next annual general meeting of the Shareholders, or until his or her successor is elected or appointed, unless that person’s office is earlier vacated in accordance with the Articles of the Company or with the provisions of the Business Corporations Act.

Advance Notice Policy

No person will be eligible for election as a director of the Company unless nominated in accordance with the provisions of the Company’s advance notice policy (the “Advance Notice Policy"). A copy of the Advance Notice Policy was filed under the Company’s profile on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and is available on the Company’s website at https://silvercorpmetals.com/corporate-governance. The Advance Notice Policy provides that advance notice to the Company must be made in circumstances where nominations of persons for election to the Board are made by Shareholders other than pursuant to: (i) a “proposal” made in accordance with Division 7 of the Business Corporations Act; or (ii) a requisition of the Shareholders made in accordance with section 167 of the Business Corporations Act. Among other things, the Advance Notice Policy fixes a deadline by which holders of record of the Common Shares must submit director nominations to the secretary of the Company prior to any annual or special meeting of Shareholders and sets forth the specific information that a Shareholder must include in the written notice to the secretary of the Company.

In the case of an annual meeting of Shareholders, notice to the Company must be made not less than 30 or more than 65 days prior to the date of the annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting is to be held on a date that is less than 50 days after the date on which the first public announcement of the date of the annual meeting was made, notice may be made not later than the close of business on the 10^th day following such public announcement. In the case of a special meeting of Shareholders (which is not also an annual meeting), notice to the Company must be made not later than the close of business on the 15^th day following the day on which the first public announcement of the date of the special meeting was made.

To be in proper written form, a notice to the Company nominating a person for election to the Board must include certain information as set forth in the Advance Notice Policy with respect to the nominee and to the nominating Shareholder. The Board may, in its sole discretion, waive any requirement of the Advance Notice Policy.

9

Majority Voting Policy

Management has received written consent from each of Management’s nominees for election as a director as to their willingness and ability to serve as a director. The Company has adopted a majority voting policy in accordance with the requirements of the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “TSX”) and the recommendation of the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance, which means that any director nominee who receives more votes cast as withheld than voted in favour will tender his or her resignation immediately following the Meeting. The Board will consider the resignation offer and will determine whether or not to accept it within 90 days following the applicable annual meeting. The Board will be expected to accept the resignation except in situations where exceptional circumstances warrant the applicable director to continue to serve on the Board. A copy of the majority voting policy can be found on the Company’s website at http://silvercorp.ca/company/corporate_governance.

Nominees for Election as Directors

At the Meeting, the six persons named below will be proposed for election to the Board (the “Director Nominees”). Five of the six Director Nominees (83%) are “independent” within the meaning of National Instrument 52-110 – Audit Committees (“NI 52-110”). Dr. Rui Feng is not considered to be “independent” as he is the Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Company. Management has received written consent from each of the Director Nominees as to their willingness and ability to serve as a director. Five out of six proposed Director Nominees were duly elected as director at the last Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on September 29, 2023. Ms. Helen Cai was appointed by the Board as an independent director on February 7, 2024.

The Board recommends that shareholders vote FOR the Director Nominees.

In the absence of contrary instructions, the management proxy nominees named as proxyholders in the enclosed Proxy or Voting Instruction Form will cast the votes represented by any Proxy or Voting Instruction Form FOR the election of the Director Nominees.

Change of Control Agreements

The Company has in effect change of control agreements with each of Dr. Rui Feng and Derek Liu. The terms of the change of control agreements provide that if an executive officer’s employment agreement or consulting agreement, as applicable, is terminated, other than for cause, within 18 months after a “Change of Control” (as defined below), the executive officer shall be entitled to: (i) a lump sum payment equal to 18 months base compensation plus any other amounts owed for compensation in arrears, (ii) bonus, if awarded, (iii) continuation of benefits for 18 months, (iv) immediate vesting of all outstanding Options, registered share units and other rights and entitlements, (v) payment of recruitment services to assist in securing alternative employment. The Company is responsible for the payment of the

22

Change of Control payments and there are no requirements to receiving a Change of Control payment (such as execution of a non-competition agreement, non-solicitation agreement or confidentiality agreement).

The change of control agreements deem a “Change of Control” to occur if: (i) a merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, reorganization or transfer takes place in which equity securities of the Company possessing more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding equity securities are acquired by a person or persons different from the persons holding those equity securities immediately prior to such transaction, and the composition of the Board following such transaction is such that the directors of the Company prior to the transaction constitute less than 50% of the Board membership following the transaction, except that no Change of Control will be deemed to occur if such merger, amalgamation, arrangement, consolidation, reorganization or transfer is with any subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company; (ii) any person, or any combination of persons acting jointly or in concert by virtue of an agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding shall acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, 25% or more of the voting rights attached to all outstanding equity securities; (iii) any person, or any combination of persons acting jointly or in concert by virtue of an agreement, arrangement, commitment or understanding shall acquire or hold, directly or indirectly, the right to appoint a majority of the directors of the Company; or (iv) the Company sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of all or substantially all of its assets, except that no Change of Control will be deemed to occur if such sale or disposition is made to a subsidiary or subsidiaries of the Company.

Quantified Impact of Termination and Change of Control Provisions

If a Change of Control of the Company had occurred on March 31, 2024, the total estimated cash cost to the Company of related payments to the below NEOs (which includes the accelerated option-based award value and share-based award value) is estimated at $3,953,245. The following table shows estimated incremental payments triggered pursuant to termination of employment of an NEO in accordance with the termination provisions described above:

Name	Termination Without Cause Under Agreement Provision Value (1)(2)(3)	Change of Control Provision Value (1)(2)(3)(4)
Dr. Rui Feng	4,188,637	3,245,119
Derek Liu	-	708,126

Notes:

(1) The termination values assume that the triggering event took place on the last business day of the Company’s financial year-end (March 31, 2024).

(2) The accelerated option-based award value on the last business day of the Company’s year-end (March 31, 2024) was calculated based on the difference between the value of the Options that would have vested and the closing price of the Common Shares on the TSX on March 31, 2024, of CAD$4.41.

(3) Value of earned/unused vacation and amounts owing for expense reimbursement are not included as they are not considered “incremental” payments made in connection with termination of employment.

(4) If Dr. Feng is terminated by virtue of a Change of Control, he will receive the greater of the value under the change of control agreement or under his consulting agreement.

No new actions, decisions, or policies were made after the end of the last financial year to affect a reader’s understanding of an NEO’s compensation for the year ended March 31, 2024.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

In Fiscal 2024, total compensation paid to the above NEOs was $4,894,002, lower compared to 5,079,877 in Fiscal 2023 (Fiscal 2022 - $5,117,296). The change was mainly due to change of NEOs and pay rate adjustments. In Fiscal 2024, total compensation paid to the NEOs changed primarily as a result of: i) an increase of $185,431 in payment of annual base fee totalling $1,650,159 compared to $1,464,728 in Fiscal 2023 and $1,426,994 in Fiscal 2022; ii) an increase in payment of annual bonuses totalling $1,411,679 compared to $1,382,006 in Fiscal 2023 and $1,354,272 in Fiscal 2022; and iii) grant of restricted share units in the value of $1,832,164 compared to $1,917,903 in Fiscal 2023 and $2,320,357 in Fiscal 2022; and iv) grant of stock options totalling $nil compared to $315,241 in Fiscal 2023, and $nil in Fiscal 2022; and v) $nil all other compensation paid in Fiscal 2024, compared to $nil in Fiscal 2023 and $15,673 in Fiscal 2022.

The Company’s executive compensation program is overseen by the Compensation Committee of the Board. See “Compensation Committee” above for a description of the composition of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has the overall responsibility for recommending levels of executive compensation that are

23

competitive and motiving, it is responsible for making recommendations to the Board with respect to the compensation of executive officers of the Company and the Company’s Omnibus Plan. The Compensation Committee also assumes responsibility for reviewing and monitoring the long-range compensation strategy for the senior management of the Company.

In carrying out this mandate, the Compensation Committee assesses on an annual basis the performance of the CEO, relative to both industry performance, and overall Company performance, and compares total compensation to compensation paid by comparable companies. Comparable silver mining companies continue to be comprised of publicly traded mining companies of similar size in North America, as determined by market capitalization, revenue, cash flows from operations, net income attributable to equity shareholders of the Company, and complexity relative to the Company. Comparable companies referenced by the Compensation Committee include the Company’s peer group, as listed below.

The objectives of the Company’s compensation program are to attract, retain and inspire performance by members of senior management in a manner that will enhance the sustainable profitability and growth of the Company. The Company has employed a combination of base compensation and equity participation through its Omnibus Plan. In addition, the Company annually awards some of the executive officers, or companies controlled by executive officers, performance bonuses for the year. The Company does not offer securities purchase programs, Common Shares or units that are subject to restrictions on resale or other incentive plans. The Company, with the exception of Option grants, focuses on annual rather than long-term compensation.

The Compensation Committee attempts to ensure that the compensation packages for executive officers and the overall equity participation plan are in line with publicly listed mining companies of a comparable size and with production, exploration and operations at a similar, or a more advanced stage. The Compensation Committee does not rely on any formula, or objective criteria and analysis to determine an exact amount of total compensation. Compensation decisions are made through discussion by the Compensation Committee, with input from the Chairman and CEO, with the final recommendations of the Compensation Committee being submitted to the Board of Directors for further discussion and final approval.

The target is for the total compensation package granted to the CEO to be approximately in the middle range of other comparably sized mining companies. However, there is no fixed formula, or pre-determined set of peer companies that is used for this determination, rather the Compensation Committee focuses on the executive compensation of a limited number of silver mining producers with market capitalizations and production profiles most similar to the Company. For the current year, this peer group consisted of Endeavour Silver Corp., First Majestic Silver Corp., Fortuna Silver Corp., Coeur Mining Inc., Hecla Mining Company, Pan American Silver Corp., K92 Mining Inc., SilverCrest Metals Inc. and SSR Mining Inc. (formerly, Silver Standard Resources Inc.). The Compensation Committee also places a particular emphasis on relative profitability and cash flow from operating activities.

The Compensation Committee reviews compensation mix on an annual basis with the goal of having a target performance-based compensation for the Chairman and CEO to be in excess of 50% of his total base compensation. In Fiscal 2024, of total compensation paid to Dr. Rui Feng, Chairman and CEO, 71% came from performance-based compensation compared to 76% in Fiscal 2023. Of the total compensation, 34% came from short term performance compensation (bonus) and 37% came from long term performance compensation (share-based awards) compared to 30% and 46%, respectively, in Fiscal 2023.

The Compensation Committee considered the implications of the risks associated with the Company’s compensation policies and practices and concluded that, given the nature of the Company’s business and the role of the Compensation Committee in overseeing the Company’s executive compensation practices, and no risks were identified arising from the Company’s compensation policies and practices that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

No NEOs or directors are permitted to purchase financial instruments including forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, or like instruments, that are designed to hedge against a decrease in market value of securities of the Company granted to such NEO or director as compensation.

24

Base Compensation

In the Compensation Committee’s view, paying base salaries that are competitive in the markets in which the Company competes for executive talent is a first step to attracting and retaining talented, qualified and effective executives. The NEOs are paid salaries commensurate with those offered by other companies in our industry, with consideration also given to internal relativity, individual performance, and the difficulty in finding a suitable alternative, particularly for a North American public company with mining operations in China.

Short Term Incentive Plan

The Company does not maintain any short-term incentive plans for its NEOs but does award annual performance bonuses, as discussed below.

Share-Based Awards

The Company believes that encouraging its executive officers and employees to increase the value of their shareholdings is one of the best ways of aligning their interests with those of its Shareholders. The Compensation Committee oversees the administration of the Omnibus Plan. The Omnibus Plan is designed to give eligible directors, officers, employees and consultants of the Company or its subsidiaries, an interest in preserving and maximizing shareholder value in the longer term, to enable the Company to attract and retain individuals with experience and ability, and to provide a sense of company ownership to the individual. The Compensation Committee considers share-based awards, including grants of Options and RSUs when reviewing executive officer compensation packages as a whole.

The distribution of share-based awards, including Options and RSUs, is recommended by the Chairman and CEO to the members of the Compensation Committee who decide whether they agree with the recommendations and who, once satisfied, provide their recommendation to the Board. The number of Options and RSUs recommended for each individual is based upon seniority, responsibilities of the job position, and the performance of the Company. The Compensation Committee’s recommendation to the Board includes the number of Options and RSUs to be granted to the independent directors.

The NEOs are granted Options and/or RSUs commensurate with those offered by other companies in our industry, with consideration also given to internal relativity and individual performance. Options and/or RSUs are granted to executive officers taking into account a number of factors, including the amount and terms of Options and/or RSUs previously granted, base compensation, performance bonuses, if any, and competitive factors. All Options and/or RSUs awarded were granted at or above market prices, with a term of three to five years, and vesting in equal bi-annual amounts over either a two, three or four-year vesting period.

Total share-based awards granted to eligible participants in Fiscal 2024, 2023, and 2022 are summarized as follows:

Fiscal year	Options		RSUs		Total share-based awards
	Number of units granted	Percentage of outstanding common shares at year end	Number of units granted	Percentage of outstanding common shares at year end	Number of units granted	Percentage of outstanding common shares at year end
2024	Nil	Nil	1,056,000	0.6%	1,056,000	0.6%
2023	595,000	0.3%	1,154,000	0.6%	1,749,000	1.0%
2022	Nil	Nil	1,000,000	0.6%	1,000,000	0.6%

Performance Bonuses

The NEOs are paid performance bonuses commensurate with those offered by other companies in our industry, with consideration also given to Company performance, individual performance and internal relativity. Considerations for NEOs performance bonus awards paid out during the fiscal 2024 year were based primarily on two elements: (1) executive officers’ personal performance; and (2) Company performance.

25

The Executive Bonus Plan provides a variable component of total cash compensation that is directly related to the operating and financial performance of the Company. A total bonus pool is calculated using measurable parameters that align executive team interests with that of the Shareholders. A bonus pool equal to 2.5% of cash flows from operations (excluding changes in non-cash working capital) may be available to NEOs, other corporate headquarter employees, and certain high-ranking managers at the mine operations. From this available pool, a percentage of base salary will be awarded to an employee when the Company performance and personal performance achieve target performance for the year. The actual bonus percentage will be determined based on a weighting for achieving Company performance, including metal production, cost, and environmental and safety performance, and personal performance according to the level of position, as shown in the following table:

Positions	Target Bonus as % of Base Salary(1)	Company Performance(2)	Personal Performance(3)
CEO/Executive Chairman	100%	70%	30%
CFO	50%	60%	40%
Senior managers	30%	50%	50%
Other head office employees	20%	20%	80%

Notes:

(1) For each individual, the bonus payable may be 30% of his/her target bonus to maximum of 200% of base salary.

(2) The Company Performance component is based on the achievement of metal production (silver ounce equivalent), all-in sustaining production costs per tonne, and safety & environment goals. Achieving metal production targets will account for 45%, all-in sustaining production costs per tonne targets will account for 40%, and safety & environment targets 15%. If a safety & environment accident occurs and causes regulatory, legal or social damage to the Company, the result of safety & environment component will be set as zero.

(3) The Personal Performance component is based on contribution to the Company’s core business achievement, satisfaction to the Company’s requirement or core job requirements, personal skill, self-development and initiatives, attendance, familiarity with business, work planning and performance, provide leadership and guidance to other employees or follow Company’s work instructions and leadership, human resource team building, shareholder communications, and Information Technology building. On an annual basis, employees and their supervisors set performance expectations and review progress toward the accomplishment of these goals.

Payment of any bonus is discretionary, is subject to final Board approval and revision by the Compensation Committee as deemed necessary.

Performance Graph

The Common Shares commenced trading on the TSX on October 24, 2005, under the symbol “SVM” and prior to that time traded on the TSX Venture Exchange. The Common Shares previously traded on the NYSE, also under the symbol “SVM”, but were voluntarily delisted in September 2015, and traded on the Over-the-Counter Market under the symbol “SVMLF” until May 15, 2017 when the Common Shares commenced trading on the NYSE American (formerly, NYSE MKT) under the symbol “SVM”. The following chart compares the total cumulative shareholder return for CAD$100 invested in Common Shares on April 1, 2018, with the cumulative total return of the S&P/TSX Composite Index and S&P/TSX Global Gold Index for the period from April 1, 2019 to March 31, 2024. The Common Share performance as set out in the graph does not necessarily indicate future price performance and does not factor in the payment of dividends by Silvercorp to its Shareholders.

The Company takes into account overall share price performance in determining executive compensation amounts; however, share price performance is one of a number of factors, as discussed above, that the Company takes into consideration. Overall, the trend in total compensation for the NEOs has followed the trend in the share price, rising following increase in the share price, and declining when the share prices decline. Total compensation rises and falls in line with share prices in part because of the valuation of option-based awards and annual incentive plan payments. There is not a close correlation between the Company’s share price performance and the amount of base salaries, or consulting fees, (collectively “base pay”) paid to NEOs. While base pay generally increased during times when share price was increasing, total base pay has remained relatively stationary during the recent periods of declining share prices. In considering base pay for the CEO, the Compensation Committee gives particular weight to compensation paid to NEOs at the closest comparable companies, and is particularly cautious in recommending any reductions to base pay, recognizing the difficulty in finding English speaking senior management with experience in operating mines in China, or willing to spend the majority of their time in China.

Application of Executive Bonus Plan

The Compensation Committee concluded that the CEO’s personal performance and Company performance in fiscal 2024 were deserving of full marks.

Highlights of the evaluation included the following:

● Mined 1,117,118 tonnes of ore, milled 1,106,195 tonnes of ore, and produced approximately 7,268 ounces of gold, 6.2 million ounces of silver, or approximately 6.8 million ounces of silver equivalent, plus 63.2 million pounds of lead and 23.4 million pounds of zinc;

● Sold approximately 7,268 ounces of gold, 6.2 million ounces of silver, 60.6 million pounds of lead, and 23.3 million pounds of zinc, for revenue of $215.2 million;

● Reported net income attributable to equity shareholders of $36.3 million, or $0.21 per share;

27

● Realized adjusted earnings attributable to equity shareholders of $39.3 million, or $0.22 per share;

● Generated cash flow from operating activities of $91.6 million;

● Recorded a gain of $7.7 million on the investment in OreCorp Limited (ASX: ORR) (“OreCorp”). Subsequent to March 31, 2024, the Company received A$42.5 million after accepting a competing offer to acquire OreCorp and a A$2.8 million break fee from OreCorp;

● Cash cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, of negative $0.38;

● All-in sustaining cost per ounce of silver, net of by-product credits, of $11.38;

● Paid $4.4 million of dividends to the Company’s shareholders;

● Spent $1.0 million to buy back 388,324 common shares of the Company under its Normal Course Issuer Bid;

● Spent and capitalized $6.2 million on exploration drilling, $45.0 million on underground development, and $12.9 million on equipment and facilities, including $6.2 million on construction of the new tailings storage facility. and

● Strong balance sheet with $184.9 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments. The Company holds a further equity investment portfolio in associates and other companies with a total market value of $112.3 million as at March 31, 2024.

Bonus Pool Calculation for Fiscal 2024

A bonus pool equal to 2.5% of operating cash flow before changes in non-cash working capital may be available to NEOs, other corporate headquarter employees, and certain high-ranking managers at the mine operations. In Fiscal 2024, the available pool for bonus payment is $2.2 million. In Fiscal 2023, the available pool for bonus payment is $2.2 million and the total bonus payout was $1.9 million, below the 2.5% limit. In Fiscal 2022, the available pool for bonus payment was $2.5 million and the total bonus payout was $1.8 million, below the 2.5% limit.

Bonus Award in Fiscal 2024

Given the Company’s operating, financial and share price performance in Fiscal 2024, the Compensation Committee has recommended, and the Board of Directors concluded that the Fiscal 2024 bonus to the CEO is to be increased to $1,400,000, which is an increase of 28.3% over his Fiscal 2023 bonus of US$1,091,000, and is equal to 148% of his base salary paid in Fiscal 2024.

The Fiscal 2024 bonus is to be paid in Fiscal 2025 and will be reported as portion of the CEO’s compensation in Fiscal 2024.

The Compensation Committee delegated to the CEO authority to establish performance bonuses for the other officers, to be paid out from the remaining balance in the bonus pool. The Compensation Committee will review and consider the CEO’s recommendation on the bonus for other officers.

28

Equity Compensation Plans

The only equity compensation plan which the Company has in place is the Omnibus Plan which was previously approved by the Shareholders on September 30, 2022.

Pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, the Company may issue options (“Options”), Restricted Share Units (“RSUs”) and Performance Share Units (“PSUs”), collectively, the (“Awards”). As of August 12, 2024, there were 3,383,722 Options outstanding (representing 1.6% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares), 2,840,671 RSUs outstanding (representing 1.3% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares). On August 12, 2024, a total of 15,425,660 Awards (representing 7.1% of the Company’s issued and outstanding Shares) were available for future issuance under the Omnibus Plan.

The Omnibus Plan has been established to attract and retain directors, officers, employees and consultants to the Company (each an “Eligible Person”), and to provide incentives for them to advance the interests of the Company by affording them with the opportunity to acquire an equity interest in the Company. Each such Eligible Person granted Awards pursuant to the Omnibus Plan, a “Participant”. The Omnibus Plan is administered by the Board and the Compensation Committee. The following is a description of the key terms of the Omnibus Plan, which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Omnibus Plan.

● Maximum Number of Shares Issuable – The maximum number of shares (the “Shares”) issuable under the Omnibus Plan, together with the number of shares issuable under any other security-based compensation arrangements of the Company, shall not in the aggregate exceed 10% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company, from time to time (the “Outstanding Issue”). Any Shares reserved for issuance pursuant to an Award that has lapsed or terminated will thereupon no longer be in reserve and may once again be subject to an Award granted under the Omnibus Plan. Additionally, if any Award has been exercised, the number of Shares into which such Award was exercised will become available to be issued upon the exercise of Awards subsequently granted under the Omnibus Plan.

● Plan Limits – When combined with all of the Company’s other security-based compensation arrangements, the Omnibus Plan shall not result in:

o the number of Shares issuable to any one person at any time exceeding 5% of the Outstanding Issue;

o the number of Shares (i) issued to Insiders (as defined in the Omnibus Plan) within a one-year period, and (ii) issuable to Insiders at any time, exceeding 10% of the Outstanding Issue;

o the issuance to any one Insider and such Insider’s associates, within any one year period, exceeding 5% of the Outstanding Issue;

31

o the issuance to consultants of the Company of a number of Shares exceeding 2% of the Outstanding Issue; or

o a number of Shares issuable to any one non-executive Directors within a one-year period exceeding an Award value of $150,000 per such non-executive Director, of which no more than $100,000 may comprise Options based on a generally accepted valuation method acceptable to the Board.

Options

● Terms and Exercise Price – The number of Shares subject to each Option grant, the exercise price, vesting, expiry date and other terms and conditions thereof will be determined by the Board. The exercise price of each Option shall in no event be lower than the closing price of the Shares on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the “Market Price”) on the trading date prior to the grant date.

● Term – Unless otherwise specified at the time of grant, Options shall expire 10 years from the date of grant, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Omnibus Plan.

● Vesting Schedule – Unless otherwise specified at the time of grant, Options vest and become exercisable in 25% increments on each of the 6month, 12month, 18month, and 24month anniversaries from the grant date.

● Exercise of Options – A participant may exercise vested Options by (i) payment of the exercise price per Share subject to each Option, or (ii) if permitted by the Board, by undertaking a cashless exercise with the assistance of a broker (which may include authorizing the broker to sell Shares on the open market by means of a short sale and forward the proceeds of such short sale to the Company to satisfy the Option Price and any applicable tax withholdings), or (iii) if permitted by the Board, on a cashless basis by receiving that number of Shares equal to the current Market Price less the Option Price multiplied by the number of Options exercised as the numerator, divided by the current Market Price, as the denominator.

● Termination of Employment – If a Participant ceases to be a director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company for any reason other than death, such director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company shall have such rights to exercise any vested Options not exercised prior to such termination within the lesser of a period of 90 calendar days after the date of termination, or the expiry date of the Option, or such shorter period as may be set out in the Participant’s Option Award Agreement.

● Death – If a Participant dies prior to the expiry of his Option, his legal representatives may, within the lesser of one year from the date of the Participant’s death or the expiry date of the Option, exercise that portion of all vested Options granted to the director, officer, employee or consultant of the Company under this Plan which remains outstanding.

Restricted Share Units and Performance Share Units

● Terms – RSUs and PSUs are notional securities that entitle the recipient to receive cash or Shares at the end of a vesting period. The terms applicable to RSUs and PSUs under the Omnibus Plan (including the vesting schedule, performance cycle, performance criteria for vesting and whether dividend equivalents will be credited to a participant’s account) are determined by the Board at the time of the grant.

● Vesting – Unless otherwise provided, RSUs typically vest on the second anniversary of the date the RSU was granted and shall be settled in accordance with the settlement provisions described below. Unless otherwise noted, PSUs shall vest as at the date that is the end of their specified performance cycle, subject to any performance criteria having been satisfied and shall be settled in accordance with the settlement provisions described below. Vesting of PSUs is contingent upon achieving certain performance criteria.

32

● Settlement – On settlement, the Company shall, for each vested RSU or PSU being settled, deliver to a Participant either (a) one Share, (b) a cash payment equal to the Market Price of one Share as of the vesting date, or (c) any combination of cash and Shares equal to the Market Price of one Share as of the vesting date, at the discretion of the Board.

● Dividend Equivalents – As dividends are declared, additional RSUs and PSUs may be credited to a Participant in an amount equal to the greatest whole number which may be obtained by dividing (i) the value of such dividend or distribution on the payment date therefore by (ii) the Market Price of one Share on such date.

● Termination of Employment – If a director, officer, consultant or employee of the Company ceases to be so engaged by the Company for any reason other than death, all outstanding RSUs and PSUs that were vested on or before the date of the termination of employment or services of such Participant shall be settled in accordance with the applicable settlement provisions of the Omnibus Plan as of the date of termination, after which time the RSUs and PSUs shall in all respects terminate.

● Death – If a Participant dies, all outstanding RSUs and PSUs that were vested on or before the date of the date of death such Participant shall be settled in accordance with the applicable settlement provisions of the Omnibus Plan as of the date of death. Outstanding RSUs that were not vested on or before the date of death shall vest and be settled in accordance applicable settlement provisions of the Omnibus Plan as of the date of death, prorated to reflect the actual period between the grant date of the RSU and the date of death. Outstanding PSUs that were not vested on or before the date of death shall vest and be settled in accordance with the applicable settlement provisions of the Omnibus Plan as of the date of death, prorated to reflect the actual period between the commencement of the performance cycle and the date of death, based on the performance criteria for the applicable performance period(s) up to the date of death. Subject to the foregoing, any remaining RSUs and PSUs shall in all respects terminate as of the date of death.

General

● Assignment – Except as may otherwise be specifically determined by the Board with respect to a particular Award, Awards granted under the Omnibus Plan are non-assignable and non-transferable other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution.

● Change of Control – In the event of a Change of Control (as defined in the Omnibus Plan), all unvested Awards then outstanding will, as applicable, be substituted by or replaced with awards of the surviving corporation (or any affiliate thereof) or the potential successor (or any affiliate thereto) (the “continuing entity”) on the same terms and conditions as the original Awards, subject to appropriate adjustments that do not diminish the value of the original Awards. If, upon a Change of Control, the continuing entity fails to comply with this requirement, the vesting of all then outstanding Awards (and, if applicable, the time during which such Awards may be exercised) will be accelerated in full. Additionally, in the event of a potential Change of Control, the Board will have the power, in its sole discretion, to modify the terms of the Omnibus Plan and/or the Awards to assist the Participants in tendering to a take-over bid or other transaction leading to a Change of Control (including to accelerate the vesting of Awards and to permit Participants to conditionally exercise their Awards).

● Amendments Not Requiring Shareholder Approval – The Board may amend the Omnibus Plan or Awards at any time, provided, however, that no such amendment may adversely affect any Award previously granted to a Participant without the consent of the Participant, except to the extent required by applicable law (including TSX requirements). Any such amendment will be subject to all necessary regulatory approvals. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Board may, without prior notice to the shareholders and without further shareholder approval, at any time and from time to time, amend the Plan or any provisions thereof, or the form of Award Agreement or instrument to be executed pursuant to the Plan, in such manner as the Board, in its sole discretion, determines appropriate:

33

o to change the persons who qualify as Eligible Persons under the Omnibus Plan; and

o to add or change provisions relating to any form of financial assistance provided by the Company to Participants that would facilitate the purchase of securities under the Omnibus Plan.

o a reduction in the Option Price of an Option, or a cancellation and reissuance of an Option;

o an extension of (i) the term of an Option beyond its original expiry date, or (ii) the date on which a PSU or RSU will be forfeited or terminated in accordance with its terms, other than in accordance with the Omnibus Plan;

o a revision to the assignment provisions to permit Awards granted under the Plan to be transferable or assignable other than for estate settlement purposes;

o a revision to the insider participation limits or the non-executive director limits;

o a revision to the amending provisions; or

o any amendment required to be approved by shareholders of the Company under applicable law (including without limitation, pursuant to the policies of the TSX).

● Black Out Periods – If the expiry date or vesting date of an Award falls (other than a PSU or RSU awarded to a Canadian resident) is (i) during a self-imposed blackout period imposed under any insider trading policy or similar policy of the Company (a “Blackout Period”), or (ii) within two business days following the end of a Blackout Period, the expiry date or vesting date, as applicable, will be automatically extended for a period of ten business day after the earlier of the end of such Blackout Period, or, provided the Blackout Period has ended, the expiry date or vesting date of such Award.
