Methanex Reports Stronger Earnings in the First Quarter of 2013; Increases Dividend 8%

Page 28 of 28

12. Subsequent Event:

In a prior period, the Company made a commitment to fund 50% of the cost of certain exploratory hydrocarbon wells in New Zealand. As at March 31, 2013, the Company had incurred approximately $15 million of costs related to this arrangement which were recorded on the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as oil and gas properties in Other Assets. The Company has no future commitments under these arrangements. In April 2013 the operator of the drilling program announced their intention to abandon one of the wells. At the date of this report the Company has not had the opportunity to analyze the operator's data from the drilling program. During the second quarter of 2013, the Company will evaluate whether an event has occurred which would require a re-assessment of the carrying value of the investment.
