Exhibit 99.1

 

 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS

NOTICE-AND-ACCESS NOTIFICATION TO SHAREHOLDERS

 

You are receiving this notice as ALEXCO RESOURCE CORP. (the “Corporation” or “Alexco”) has chosen to use the notice-and-access model for delivery of meeting materials to its shareholders in respect of its annual general meeting of shareholders to be held on Thursday, June 4, 2020 (the “Meeting”). Under notice-and-access, shareholders still receive a proxy or voting instruction form enabling them to vote at the Meeting. However, instead of receiving a paper copy of the notice of meeting and information circular (the “Circular”) for the Meeting (the “Meeting Materials”), shareholders are receiving this notice with information on how to access such Meeting Materials electronically.

MEETING DATE AND LOCATION

 

WHEN: Thursday, June 4, 2020 at 1:30 p.m. (Pacific Time)

WHERE: Virtual meeting – online only at https://web.lumiagm.com/278974290

 

MATTERS TO BE CONSIDERED AND/OR VOTED UPON AT THE MEETING

 

1.To receive and consider the report of the directors and the consolidated financial statements together with the auditors’ report thereon for the year ended December 31, 2019;
2.To fix the number of directors at seven;
3.To elect directors for the ensuing year;
4.To appoint the auditors for the ensuing year; and
5.To approve and ratify the grant of certain equity-based incentive awards in 2019 to the independent directors.

Due to the rapidly evolving global coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency and in consideration of the health and safety of our shareholders, colleagues and our broader community, this year’s Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. This means that shareholders will not be able to attend the Meeting physically. A virtual-only meeting format is being adopted in response to the COVID-19 situation to enfranchise and give all shareholders an equal opportunity to participate at the Meeting regardless of their geographic location or the particular constraints, circumstances or risks they may be facing as a result of COVID-19. Registered shareholders and duly appointed proxyholders who participate in the Meeting online will be able to listen to the Meeting, ask questions and vote at the Meeting in real time. The Circular contains detailed instructions on how to attend, participate and vote at the Meeting.

Alexco will not use procedures known as “stratification” in relation to its use of notice-and-access in relation to the Meeting. Stratification occurs when a reporting issuer using notice-and-access provides a paper copy of the relevant Circular to some, but not all, shareholders with the notice package in relation to the relevant meeting.

 

SHAREHOLDERS ARE REMINDED TO VIEW THE MEETING MATERIALS PRIOR TO VOTING.
