3.NEWS RELEASE

The news release announcing this material change was issued on October 13, 2023 in Canada and the United States.

4.    SUMMARY OF MATERIAL CHANGE

Methanex Corporation (the “Company”) announced on October 13, 2023 that it has signed a two-year natural gas agreement with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) for its currently idled, wholly owned, Titan methanol plant (“Titan”) to restart operations in September 2024. Simultaneously, the Company announced its intention to idle the Atlas methanol plant (“Atlas) in September 2024 when its legacy 20-year natural gas agreement expires.

5.    FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE

5.1    FULL DESCRIPTION OF MATERIAL CHANGE

Methanex Corporation (the “Company”) announced that it has signed a two-year natural gas agreement with the National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) for its currently idled, wholly owned, Titan methanol plant (“Titan”) (875,000 tonnes per year capacity) to restart operations in September 2024. Simultaneously, the Company announced its intention to idle the Atlas methanol plant (“Atlas”) (Methanex interest 63.1% or 1,085,000 tonnes per year capacity) in September 2024, when its legacy 20-year natural gas agreement expires.

The decision to restart Titan and cease operations at Atlas was based on economic considerations, including significantly lower capital requirements at Titan compared to Atlas. The new gas price and lower production volume in Trinidad will reduce annual adjusted EBITDA and free cash flow capability, starting in 2025 and compared to 2023, by approximately $80 million and $40 million, respectively, across a range of methanol prices.
