Background/Description of the Disclosure

In today's special meeting, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Benguet Corporation (the "Company") approved the rescheduling of its virtual Annual Stockholders' Meeting (ASM) previously scheduled on November 28, 2024 to December 20, 2024, Friday at 3:00 pm at the Company's Board Room, 7th Universal Re Building, 106 Paseo de Roxas, Makati City. The Board also fixed November 14, 2024 as new record date for stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote for this meeting. The Company's stock transfer books will not be closed. The participation of the stockholders in the virtual ASM through remote communication and to exercise their vote in absentia or proxy has been authorized by the Board.

The Company decided to reschedule the ASM to a later date due to lack of material time to prepare the Information Statement and to solicit proxies from local and US stockholders in view of major issues to be taken up during the meeting that will require stockholders' actions.
