Kinross announces routine renewal of NCIB - Seite 2

Purchases will be made by the Company in accordance with the requirements of the TSX and/or the NYSE and the price which the Company will pay for any such common shares will be the market price of any such common shares at the time of acquisition, or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX and/or the NYSE.

In connection with the NCIB program, the Company has entered into an automatic repurchase plan with its designated broker to allow for purchases of its common shares during certain pre-determined black-out periods, based on Company instructions provided when not in black out, should the Company determine to proceed with purchases under the ASPP. Outside of these pre-determined black-out periods, any repurchases of common shares will be repurchased in accordance with management’s discretion, subject to applicable law. Although the Company has a present intention to acquire its common shares pursuant to the NCIB program, the Company will not be obligated to make any purchases under this NCIB.
