B2Gold : 2026 Notice of Annual General Meeting

About this update from B2gold Corp.

Notice-and-Access Notification You are receiving this notification as B2Gold Corp. ("B2Gold" or the "Company") has elected to utilize the notice-and-access provisions adopted by the Canadian Securities Administrators ("Notice-and-Access") for delivery of its management information circular dated April 13, 2026 (the "Information Circular") and related proxy materials (collectively, the "Meeting Materials") to its shareholders (the "Shareholders"). Under Notice-and-Access, Shareholders are still entitled to receive a form of proxy (or voting instruction form). However, instead of receiving paper copies of the Information Circular, Shareholders receive this notice which contains information about how to access and review an electronic copy of the Information Circular and instructions on voting by proxy. Notice-and-Access expedites our Shareholders' receipt of the Meeting Materials, lowers printing and distribution costs, and reduces the environmental impact of our 2026 Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the "Meeting"). B2Gold will not utilize Notice-and-Access with respect to the mailing of the Meeting Materials to Shareholders who have standing instructions, or have otherwise requested, to receive paper copies of materials. Rather, such Shareholders will receive paper copies of the Meeting Materials.
