What Happened

• Southern Copper Corporation (SCC) furnished a press release on April 28, 2026 (filed on Form 8‑K, Item 2.02) reporting financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

• The dividends are payable on May 29, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on May 13, 2026. In lieu of fractional shares, SCC will pay cash for fractional amounts based on a per-share price of $187.45 (the average of the high and low share price on April 23, 2026). The press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and the information is furnished (not “filed”) under the 8‑K rules.
