NOTICE-AND-ACCESS

Notice-and-access is environmentally friendly and cost effective as it reduces paper, printing and postage costs.
You may request a paper copy of the Circular, at no cost, at any time prior to the Meeting and up to one year from the date the Circular was filed on SEDAR+ (https://www.sedarplus.ca).

You can always revoke your proxy if you decide to attend the Meeting and wish to vote your Common Shares at the Meeting.
VOTING IN PERSON
Registered Shareholders who will attend the Meeting and wish to vote their Common Shares in person should not complete a proxy form. Your vote will be taken and counted at the Meeting. Please register with the transfer agent, TSX Trust, when you arrive at the Meeting.
WHAT IF I AM NOT A REGISTERED SHAREHOLDER?
Many shareholders are "non-registered shareholders." Non-registered shareholders are shareholders whose shares are registered in the name of an intermediary (such as a bank, trust company, securities broker, trustee or custodian). Unless you have previously informed your intermediary that you do not wish to receive materials relating to the Meeting, you should receive or have already received from your intermediary either a request for voting instructions or a proxy form.
Intermediaries have their own mailing procedures and provide their own instructions to shareholders. These procedures may allow you to provide your voting instructions by telephone, on the Internet, by mail or by fax. You should carefully follow the directions and instructions received from your intermediary to ensure that your Common Shares are voted at the Meeting.
If you wish to vote in person at the Meeting, you should follow the procedure in the directions and instructions provided by or on behalf of your intermediary. Please register with the transfer agent, TSX Trust, when you arrive at the Meeting.
Non-registered shareholders who wish to vote online at the Meeting need to duly appoint themselves as a proxyholder to obtain a control number. A control number is required to be able to log in and vote online at the Meeting. Please refer to "Voting by proxy - online during the Meeting" above, for instructions on how to obtain a control number. Once a control number is obtained you will be able to log in to the Meeting and vote by completing a ballot online during the Meeting through the live audio webcast platform. Please refer to "Voting online at the meeting" above for instructions on how to log in as a duly appointed proxyholder.
Non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder and do not have a control number will not be able to vote at the Meeting but will be able to participate as a guest. Please refer to "What if I don't have a control number" below for instructions on how to attend the Meeting as a guest.
WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A CONTROL NUMBER?
If you do not have a control number you can attend the Meeting as a guest. Log in as outlined in "Voting online at the meeting" above. Click "Guest" and then complete the online form. Guests (including non-registered shareholders who have not duly appointed themselves as proxyholder) will be able to listen to the Meeting but will not be able to vote during the Meeting.
WHAT IS A PROXY?
A proxy is a document that authorizes someone else to attend the Meeting and cast your votes for you.
Registered Shareholders may use the proxy form, or any other valid proxy form, to appoint a proxyholder. The proxy form authorizes the proxyholder to vote and otherwise act for you at the Meeting, including any continuation after the adjournment or postponement of the Meeting.
If you are a Registered Shareholder and you complete the proxy, your Common Shares will be voted as instructed. If you do not mark any boxes, your proxyholder can vote your shares at their discretion. See "How will my Common Shares be voted if I give my proxy?" below.
Introduction Voting Business of the Meeting About the Directors Corporate Governance Compensation Other InformationHOW DO I APPOINT A PROXYHOLDER?
Your proxyholder is the person you appoint and name on the proxy form to cast your votes for you. You can choose anyone you want to be your proxyholder. Your proxyholder does not have to be another shareholder. Just fill in the person's name in the blank space provided on the enclosed proxy form or complete any other valid proxy form and deliver it to TSX Trust within the time specified below for receipt of proxies.
If you leave the space on the proxy form blank, either Doug Arnell or Rich Sumner, both of whom are named in the form, are appointed to act as your proxyholder. Mr. Arnell is the Chair of the Board and Mr. Sumner is the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
For the proxy to be valid, it must be completed, dated and signed by the Registered Shareholder (or the Registered Shareholder's attorney as authorized in writing) and then delivered to the Company's transfer agent, TSX Trust, in the envelope provided or by fax to 416-607-7964 and received no later than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and holidays) prior to the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof.
HOW WILL MY COMMON SHARES BE VOTED IF I GIVE MY PROXY?
If you have properly filled out, signed and delivered your proxy, then your proxyholder can vote your shares for you at the Meeting. If you have specified on the proxy form how you want to vote on a particular issue (by marking FOR, AGAINST or WITHHOLD), then your proxyholder must vote your Common Shares accordingly.
If you have not specified how to vote on a particular issue, then your proxyholder will vote your Common Shares as they see fit. However, if you have not specified how to vote on a particular issue and Mr. Arnell or Mr. Sumner has been appointed as proxyholder, your Common Shares will be voted in favour of all resolutions proposed by management. For more information on these resolutions, see "Business of the Meeting". The form of proxy confers discretionary authority upon the proxyholder you name with respect to amendments or variations to the matters identified in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders and any other matters that may properly come before the Meeting. If any such amendments or variations are proposed to the matters described in the Notice, or if any other matters properly come before the Meeting, your proxyholder may vote your Common Shares as he or she considers best.
HOW DO I REVOKE A PROXY?
Only Registered Shareholders have the right to revoke a proxy. Non-registered shareholders who wish to change their voting instructions must, in sufficient time in advance of the Meeting, arrange for their intermediaries to change their vote and if necessary revoke their proxy.
If you are a Registered Shareholder and you wish to revoke your proxy after you have delivered it, you can do so at any time before it is used. You or your authorized attorney may revoke a proxy by (i) clearly stating in writing that you want to revoke your proxy and delivering this revocation by mail to Proxy Department, TSX Trust Company, P.O. Box 721, Agincourt, ON, M1S 0A1, Canada or by fax to 416-607-7964 or by mail to the registered office of the Company, Suite 1800, 200 Burrard Street, Vancouver, BC, V6C 3M1, Canada, Attention: Corporate Secretary, or by fax to the Company to 1-604-661-2602, at any time up to and including the last business day preceding the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof or (ii) any other manner permitted by law. Revocations may also be hand-delivered to the Chair of the Meeting on the day of the Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof. Such revocation will have effect only in respect of those matters upon which a vote has not already been cast pursuant to the authority confirmed by the proxy. If you revoke your proxy and do not replace it with another in the manner described in "How do I appoint a proxyholder?" above, you will be able to vote your Common Shares in person at
the Meeting.
WHO PAYS FOR THIS SOLICITATION OF PROXIES?
The cost of this solicitation of proxies is paid by the Company. It is expected that the solicitation will be primarily by mail, but proxies may also be solicited personally or by telephone or other means of communication by directors and regular employees of the Company without special compensation. In addition, the Company may retain the services of agents to solicit proxies on behalf of its management. In that event, the Company will compensate any such agents for such services, including reimbursement for reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses, and will indemnify them in respect of certain liabilities that may be incurred by them in performing their services. The Company may also reimburse brokers or other persons holding Common Shares in their names, or in the names of nominees, for their reasonable expenses in sending proxies and proxy material to beneficial owners and obtaining their proxies.

Introduction Voting Business of the Meeting About the Directors Corporate Governance Compensation Other InformationThe directors of the Company recommend the reappointment of KPMG LLP, Chartered Professional Accountants, Vancouver, as the auditors of the Company to hold office until the termination of the next annual meeting of the Company. KPMG LLP has served as the auditors of the Company for more than five years. As in past years, it is also recommended that the remuneration to be paid to the auditors be determined by the directors of the Company.
The persons named as proxyholders in the accompanying proxy, if not expressly directed to the contrary, will vote the Common Shares for which they have been appointed proxyholder to reappoint KPMG LLP as the auditors of the Company and to authorize the directors to determine the remuneration to be paid to the auditors.
The board unanimously recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
3. Reappointment and remuneration of auditorsAuditor review
The Company's Audit, Finance and Risk Committee (the "Audit Committee") oversees and monitors the qualifications, independence, and performance of the Company's external auditor. The Audit Committee recommends to the Board whether to propose the reappointment of the current independent auditors at the Company's annual meeting of shareholders or to consider other audit firms. To inform their view, the Audit Committee conducts a formal review of the external auditor every year and a more comprehensive review every five years, and recommends to the Board whether to propose the reappointment of the current independent auditors or to consider other audit firms. These reviews are based on recommendations by the Chartered Professional Accountants of Canada and the Canadian Public Accountability Board ("CPAB") to assist audit committees in their oversight duties.
Factors considered annually by the Audit Committee in determining whether to recommend to the Board retaining KPMG LLP, or engage a different independent registered public accounting firm, include:
Independence, objectivity and professional skepticism of the external auditor;
Quality of the external auditor's engagement team;
Quality of the communications and interactions between the Audit Committee and the external auditor;
KPMG LLP's global capabilities, specifically in regions which match the Company's global operations;
The quality of the services provided by KPMG LLP, including input from management on KPMG LLP's performance;
External data on audit quality and performance, including recent CPAB and Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") reports on KPMG LLP and its peer firms; and
The appropriateness of KPMG LLP's fees, KPMG LLP's tenure as our independent auditor, and the controls and processes in place that help ensure KPMG LLP's continued independence.
A comprehensive review was completed and reported to the Audit Committee in 2023, which focused on a subset of the key factors above, namely, independence, quality of the team, and quality of communications between the Audit Committee and external auditor.
Audit Quality Indicators ("AQIs") provide quantitative measures of particular aspects of the external audit and are part of the tool set recommended by Canadian regulatory bodies to use in enhancing audit quality. Methanex uses AQIs to evaluate whether the external auditor is performing high quality audits, including but not exclusive to the experience of the audit team, the use of specialists, and the external auditor's attention to key risks.
Taking all above factors into consideration, the Audit Committee has determined that it is satisfied with the independence of, and the audit quality provided by, KPMG LLP, and that it is in the best interest of Methanex and its shareholders to retain KPMG LLP as the external auditor for 2026. The Audit Committee will continue to closely monitor the factors listed to ensure audit quality and independence.
Introduction Voting Business of the Meeting About the Directors Corporate Governance Compensation Other InformationHow Methanex assures external auditor independence
Globally, different jurisdictions employ different regulatory controls to ensure external auditor independence. As a public company listed in Canada and the United States, the Company adheres to the external auditor independence rules of both the US Securities and Exchange Commission and CPAB, which focuses on employing the following controls to maintain auditor independence:
Services performed by KPMG LLP require pre-approval by the Audit Committee with approval of individual engagements by the Chief Financial Officer within the approved categories and fee amounts.
Audit partner rotation results in changes to the lead audit partner every five years with a five-year cooling-off period. In 2025, the Audit Committee oversaw an audit partner rotation, which is a key control in maintaining auditor independence.
Low quantum of non-audit fees (~5% of audit fees) with KPMG LLP and transparency of disclosure of such fees. The Company uses other accounting firms for most non-audit services.
Cooling-off periods for KPMG LLP audit staff if considered for employment by Methanex.
In-camera meetings excluding management each time KPMG LLP meets with the Audit Committee.
Strong internal KPMG independence policies and procedures. KPMG engages in periodic engagement quality reviews of its audit work and adheres to a strong regulatory framework for both independence training and procedures as well as external reviews by CPAB and PCAOB. KPMG communicates promptly the results of such reviews for consideration by the Audit Committee.
In the United Kingdom and in Europe, regulations require periodic audit firm rotation as a mechanism to enhance auditor independence. As a public company listed in Canada and the United States, the Company is not required to undertake mandatory auditor rotation and these jurisdictions leave this decision to the judgment of the Audit Committee considering the broad set of controls listed above.
Principal accountant fees and services Pre-approval policies and proceduresThe Audit Committee annually reviews and approves the terms and scope of the external auditors' engagement. The Audit Committee oversees the Audit and Non-Audit Pre-Approval Policy, which sets forth the procedures and the conditions by which permissible non-audit services proposed to be performed by KPMG LLP are pre-approved in order to mitigate the risk of non-audit services impacting the auditor's independence. The Audit Committee has delegated to the Chair of the Audit Committee pre-approval authority for any services not previously approved by the Audit Committee.
All such services approved by the Chair of the Audit Committee are subsequently reviewed by the Audit Committee.
All non-audit service engagements, regardless of the cost estimate, must be coordinated and approved by the Chief Financial Officer of the Company to further ensure that adherence to this policy is monitored.
Audit and non-audit fees billed by the independent auditorsKPMG LLP's global fees relating to the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Introduction Voting Business of the Meeting About the Directors Corporate Governance Compensation Other Information- Advisory "say on pay" vote on approach to executive compensation
A detailed discussion of our approach to executive compensation is provided in the "Executive Compensation Discussion and Analysis" that begins on page 63 of this Information Circular. As stated there, the main objectives of our executive compensation program are to attract, retain and engage high-quality and high-performance executives with relevant experience and align pay with performance and long-term shareholder interests.
Our executive compensation programs are aligned with returns to shareholders with a significant percentage of the short-term incentive award based on achieving "Modified Return on Capital Employed" and deleveraging goals and on other measures that we believe drive our share price over the longer term. The long-term incentive plan includes Performance Share Units, which vest after three years based on a combination of relative compounded total shareholder return and "Modified Return on Capital Employed", and stock options/Stock Appreciation Rights ("SARs"), which vest over a three-year period and have no value if the underlying share price does not increase.
We also believe in the importance of executives owning Common Shares and require the President & CEO and all other executive officers to meet significant share ownership requirements to more fully align their interests with shareholders and focus on developing and implementing strategies that create and deliver long-term value for shareholders.
We have held an advisory vote on executive compensation (commonly referred to as a "say on pay vote") annually since 2011 and in 2025, 80.8% of votes supported our approach towards executive compensation. This level of support was lower than our historical levels and primarily a result of our largest shareholder voting against our approach to executive compensation. Through discussions with this shareholder, we are advised that their vote reflected concerns about an operational issue at our Geismar 3 plant, which has since been fully resolved, rather than any aspect of the structure of our executive compensation program. It is the Board's intention that the say on pay vote will be only one part of the ongoing process of engagement between shareholders and the Board on compensation. The Board also provides an opportunity for shareholders to provide direct feedback to management regarding our approach to executive compensation on its website and in accordance with our Shareholder Engagement Policy as described on page 42.
This is an advisory vote and the results will not be binding upon the Board. However, the Board will take the results of the vote into account, together with any feedback received from shareholders through the website, when considering future compensation policies, procedures and decisions.
Shareholders will be asked at the Meeting to consider and, if deemed advisable, to adopt the following resolution that is based on the model say on pay resolution formulated by the Canadian Coalition for Good Governance:
RESOLVED THAT:
The board unanimously recommends a vote FOR this proposal.
On an advisory basis and not to diminish the role and responsibilities of the Board of Directors, the shareholders accept the approach to executive compensation disclosed in the Company's Information Circular delivered in advance of the 2026 annual general meeting of shareholders.

What we do What we don't do
The compensation of our executive officers is mainly performance-basedWe annually review the Company's compensation policies and practices to confirm they align with the Company's risk management principles, do not encourage inappropriate or excessive risk-taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company
Our short-term incentive and PSU awards are not guaranteed and have maximum limits
We have significant share ownership requirements for all executive officers
Our Recoupment Policy adheres to mandatory rules adopted by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and applies to all senior executives
Double-trigger in place for employment agreements in the event of a change of control
Our executive compensation does not entice our executive officers to take high risks
We do not practice tax gross-ups
Our Hedging Policy prohibits insiders, which include all of the Company's executive officers and directors, from purchasing financial instruments designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of the Common Shares or equity based incentive awards that they hold
