METHANEX AMENDS SHELF PROSPECTUS FOR FUTURE DEBT OFFERINGS
Methanex Corporation announced today that it has filed an amendment to its short form base shelf
prospectus dated November 10, 2011 (the “Shelf Prospectus”) with the securities regulatory authority in the
Province of British Columbia. The amendment to the Shelf Prospectus was also filed with the U.S. Securities
and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as part of a registration statement on Form F-10 in accordance with the
Multijurisdictional Disclosure System established between Canada and the United States. The amendment
increases the aggregate amount of debt securities (“Offered Debt Securities”) that may be offered under the
Shelf Prospectus from US$500,000,000 to US$750,000,000. As of the date of this amendment, Methanex
has distributed Offered Debt Securities under the Shelf Prospectus having an aggregate principal amount of
US$250,000,000.
The securities may be offered in the United States from time to time at the discretion of Methanex over a
25-month period ending December 10, 2013. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement
relating to a particular offering of securities, the net proceeds from any sale of any securities will be used for
any one or more of capital expenditures, debt repayment, working capital or other general corporate
purposes.
The shelf registration statement filed today with the SEC relating to these securities has not yet become
effective. These securities may not be sold nor may offers to buy be accepted prior to the time the
registration statement becomes effective and the final short-form shelf prospectus is filed. This news release
shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these
securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to the registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.
