After more than 15 years of leading the business he co-founded, Mr. Smallwood will step down as CEO and assume the role of non-executive Chair of the Board of Directors, effective March 31, 2026.

Mr. Hodaly has played a pivotal role in executing more than $11 billion in streaming transactions, significantly advancing the Company's growth trajectory, while building and leading one of the most highly regarded technical teams in the industry.

"I am honored to step into the role of President and CEO at such an exciting time in both the Company's history and the broader precious metals market," said Haytham Hodaly, current President and incoming CEO. "We have a clear vision for the future and an exceptionally strong foundation from which to grow, positioning us well to support the next generation of mine builders in an unprecedented environment for gold and silver.

I'd also like to extend my thanks to all of our stakeholders, for their continued trust and support as we helped transform the landscape of mining financing.

This leadership evolution marks a significant milestone in Wheaton's long-term strategy, to develop, support and elevate the next generation of leadership and further accelerate the Company's momentum. I can truly say that I have never been more confident in our future. Haytham has been instrumental in shaping Wheaton's success to date, and his leadership will be an essential element of our anticipated next phase of transformative growth. As I move into the role of Chair of the Board, I remain fully committed to supporting him as CEO and continuing to create value for all stakeholders."

His operational insight, commitment to fostering partnerships, and strategic vision have solidified Wheaton's reputation for excellence and resilience in a dynamic global market.

"On behalf of the Board of Directors, I thank Randy for his visionary leadership and his unwavering dedication to building not only the world's leading streaming company, but also to advancing the broader mining industry," said George Brack, current Chair of Wheaton's Board of Directors. "His commitment to the sector, passion for developing people, and his deep sense of community responsibility have been nothing short of remarkable. We are very pleased that Randy will continue to provide his strategic insight and industry expertise as incoming Chair of the Board.

Over the past several years, the Board has strongly supported Wheaton's leadership evolution, including the management transitions announced in 2025.
