BY GlobeNewswire | CORPORATE | 07:00 AM EDT

TORONTO, April 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Hudbay Minerals Inc. (HBM) (?Hudbay? or the ?Company?) (TSX, NYSE: HBM) today announced that it has repaid in full all of its outstanding 4.50% senior unsecured notes due 2026 (the ?2026 Notes?), which were originally issued in an aggregate principal amount of $600 million. All amounts are in U.S. dollars, unless otherwise noted.

Hudbay repaid the outstanding aggregate principal amount of $472.5 million of 2026 Notes on maturity on April 1, 2026 using a combination of available cash on hand and a $272 million draw on its low-cost revolving credit facilities. The repayment of the 2026 Notes using available liquidity is consistent with Hudbay?s prudent balance sheet management and focus on cost of capital and provides the Company with improved financial flexibility in advance of a Copper World sanctioning decision later this year.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.

Before investing, consider the funds' investment objectives, risks, charges, and expenses. Contact Fidelity for a prospectus or, if available, a summary prospectus containing this information. Read it carefully.
