Silver Wheaton Adopts By-law Amendments for Advance Notice for Director Nominations, Increase to Quorum for Shareholder Meetings and Update of Notice and Signature Provisions - Seite 2

Increase  in  Quorum  for  Shareholder  Meetings 

The Company has typically had a large percentage of its shareholders represented at annual general meetings. However, in accordance with good corporate governance practice, the quorum for shareholder meetings was increased from 10% to 25% of the issued shares of the Company to be represented at the meeting in person or by proxy. The increase in quorum should assist the Company in continuing to have a large number of shareholders represented at shareholder meetings.

Updated  Notice  and  Signature  Provisions 

The evolution of technology and ongoing changes to the framework for the delivery of documents to shareholders means that the Company must be in a position to respond to, and take advantage of, these future changes. The expansion of the Company's notice and signature provisions to include all digital, optical and other similar means will allow the Company to be well-positioned to take advantage of any future technological changes and any cost savings that may result.

All of the by-law amendments are effective immediately and will be placed before shareholders for ratification and confirmation at the next annual and special meeting of shareholders of the Company to be held on May 9, 2014. A copy of the by-law amendments has been filed under the Company's SEDAR profile at http://www.sedar.com.
