Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) (NYSE: CDE) today
announced the appointment of Brian E. Sandoval, former Governor of
Nevada, to the Company’s Board of Directors and its Environmental,
Health, Safety and Corporate Responsibility Committee effective
March 8, 2019.
Mr. Sandoval has extensive leadership experience in both the
public and private sectors. Serving from 2011 to January 2019 as
Nevada’s first Hispanic Governor, Mr. Sandoval was responsible for
key accomplishments in economic development, veterans’ issues,
health care expansion, workforce development, renewable energy
policy, innovative gaming policy and modernizing Nevada’s public
education system. He served as Chairman of the National Governors
Association from 2017 to 2018, National Council of State
Governments in 2015, Western Governors Association in 2014 and the
Education Commission of the States from 2013 to 2014. He also
focused on international outreach, hosting multiple international
delegations in Nevada, and led over 18 trade missions to 16
countries on six continents. Mr. Sandoval currently serves as
President of Global Gaming Development for MGM Resorts
International (NYSE: MGM).
Earlier in his career, Mr. Sandoval was elected to the Nevada
Assembly in 1994, serving on the Judiciary, Taxation, Labor and
Management and Natural Resource Committees. He was appointed to the
Nevada Gaming Commission in 1998 and became the Commission’s
youngest Chairman in state history the following year. In 2002, he
was elected Nevada Attorney General, and in 2005, Mr. Sandoval was
nominated by President George W. Bush to serve as a federal judge
on the U.S. District Court for the District of Nevada, and
confirmed unanimously by the U.S. Senate, a position he held until
resigning to run for Governor in 2009.
Mr. Sandoval received a Bachelor of Arts degree in English and a
minor in Economics from the University of Nevada, Reno in 1986 and
a Juris Doctorate degree from The Ohio State University Moritz
College of Law in 1989.
“We are extremely pleased to welcome Brian Sandoval to our Board
of Directors,” said Robert E. Mellor, Coeur’s Chairman of the
Board. “His track record of effective executive leadership and his
intimate knowledge of regulatory and mining-related public policy
issues will be valuable assets to Coeur. As the Company expands its
North American operating footprint, Nevada and the Western U.S.
will remain key areas of focus where Governor Sandoval’s insights
and perspectives will be especially helpful.”
Proactive Proxy Access Adoption
Coeur’s Board of Directors also approved amendments to the
Company’s bylaws to implement proxy access. The bylaw amendments
permit a stockholder, or group of up to 20 stockholders, owning at
least 3% of the Company’s outstanding common stock continuously for
at least three years, to nominate and include in the Company’s
proxy materials for an annual meeting of stockholders, director
nominees constituting up to the greater of two nominees or 20% of
the Board. The proactive adoption of proxy access demonstrates
Coeur’s commitment to incorporating best-in-class governance
practices and its responsiveness to stockholder feedback.
