Your vote is important

You’re entitled to receive this notice and vote at our 2014 annual and special meeting if you owned common shares of Eldorado as of the close of business on March 17, 2014 (the record date for the 2014 annual and special meeting).

Notice-and-access

In November 2012, the Canadian Securities Administrators adopted regulatory amendments to securities legislation that allow public companies to advise their shareholders of the availability of electronic delivery of all proxy-related materials on a readily available website, rather than mailing phyiscal copies of the materials.

This year Eldorado is using the notice-and-access procedures for the delivery of meeting materials to shareholders in respect of the meeting. Instead of receiving paper copies of the management proxy circular for the meeting (the circular), you are receiving this notice with information on how you can access the circular electronically along with a proxy or in the case of non-registered shareholders, a voting instruction form, in order to vote at the meeting or submit your voting instructions. The use of notice-and-access is more environmentally responsible by helping to reduce paper use and will also reduce our printing and mailing costs. We estimate the savings in printing and mailing costs for 2014 to be $250,000.

The company will mail paper copies of the circular and other meeting materials to those registered and beneficial shareholders who had previously elected to receive paper copies. All other shareholders will receive this notice along with a form of proxy or voting instruction form, as applicable. Information on how to obtain electronic and paper copies of the circular and other meeting materials in advance of the meeting follows.

The circular contains important information about the meeting, who can vote and how to vote. We encourage and remind you to access the circular and read it carefully prior to voting.

Accessing the circular online

The circular, form of proxy, annual return card, audited annual consolidated financial statements and associated management’s discussion and analysis (MD&A) will be available on the company’s website (www.eldoradogold.com/shareholder-materials) as of March 31, 2014 and will remain on the website for one full year thereafter. The meeting materials are also available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission website at www.sec.gov as of March 31, 2014.
