Item 5.08. Shareholder Director Nominations

(a) On March 10, 2021, the Board of Directors of McEwen Mining Inc. (the “Company”) determined that the 2021 annual meeting of shareholders (“Annual Meeting”) will be held on June 29, 2021. Because the expected date of the Annual Meeting is more than 30 days following the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, the Company is notifying its shareholders of a new deadline for the receipt of shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for inclusion of the Company’s proxy materials. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company is providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals by the means of this Current Report on Form 8-K.

Any shareholder proposal intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices at 150 King Street West, Suite 2800, Toronto, Ontario, Canada M5H 1J9 on or before the close of business on April 1, 2021, which is a reasonable time before it expects to begin printing and mailing its proxy materials. In addition to complying with this deadline, shareholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the Annual Meeting must also comply with all applicable SEC rules. Any such written notice must be directed to the attention of the Company’s Secretary and comply with the applicable advance notice provisions of the Company’s Bylaws.

Any shareholder or shareholder group wishing to nominate a director for election or propose other business at the Annual Meeting without regard to whether such proposal will be included in the Company’s proxy materials must ensure that notice of any such nomination or proposal is delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Company's principal executive offices on or before the close of business on April 1, 2021.
