B2GOLD ANNOUNCES RENEWAL OF NORMAL COURSE ISSUER BID

The Toronto Stock Exchange has accepted the notice of B2Gold Corp.'s intention to renew its normal course issuer bid (NCIB).

The company's decision to renew the NCIB is consistent with its shareholder return strategy and reflective of the company's belief that the market may undervalue the common shares of B2Gold from time to time and that the shares may trade in a price range that may not adequately reflect the value of the shares in relation to the business, assets and prospects of B2Gold from time to time and that purchases of shares pursuant to the NCIB may represent an appropriate and desirable use of the company's capital.

The company had 1,337,359,749 shares issued and outstanding as of March 20, 2026. The renewed TSX approval allows the company to purchase up to 132,662,594 shares, representing 10 per cent of the public float as of March 20, 2026, over a period of 12 months commencing on April 3, 2026. The renewed NCIB will expire no later than April 2, 2027.

All purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American exchange, other designated exchanges and/or alternative trading systems or by such other means as may be permitted by applicable Canadian and U.S. securities laws. Purchases made on the open market through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American exchange and alternative trading systems will be made at the prevailing market price at the time of purchase or such other price as may be permitted by the TSX and applicable U.S. securities laws.

The company will retain discretion whether to make purchases under the NCIB, if any, and to determine the timing, amount and acceptable price of any such purchases, subject at all times to applicable TSX and other regulatory requirements. The shares purchased by B2Gold under the NCIB will be cancelled.

In accordance with TSX rules, any daily purchases (other than pursuant to a block purchase exemption) on the TSX under the renewed NCIB are limited to a maximum of 1,763,653 shares, which represents 25 per cent of the average daily trading volume of 7,054,612 shares on the TSX for the six months ended Feb. 28, 2026 (and excluding purchases made by the company under the current NCIB). Purchases on the NYSE American exchange will be subject to daily limitations and other conditions regarding manner, timing, price and volume of purchases in order to qualify for the safe harbour provided under applicable U.S. securities laws.

Under B2Gold's current NCIB, which commenced on April 3, 2025, and expires on April 2, 2026, B2Gold obtained approval to purchase up to a total of 65,980,840 shares. Between April 3, 2025, and March 27, 2026, a total of 18,433,881 shares were purchased through the facilities of the TSX, the NYSE American exchange and alternative trading platforms at a weighted-average price of approximately $6.65 per share (excluding commissions).
