1. DESCRIPTION OF ORGANIZATION AND BUSINESS OPERATIONS

Company Overview

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (formerly known as Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation (the("MUDS")) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, "it", "HYMC") was incorporatedis a U.S.-based gold and silver company that is focused on developing its wholly owned Hycroft Mine in Delaware on August 28, 2017. a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada.
The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and began producing and selling gold and silver during the third quarter of 2019. The Company's operating plan until November 2021 was formed forprimarily focused on developing the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combinationnovel two-stage heap oxidation and leach process ("Novel Process") detailed in the Hycroft Technical Report Summary ("TRS"), Heap Leaching Feasibility Study, prepared in accordance with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or sector for purposes of consummating a Business Combination, the Company intends to focus its search on companies that have recently emerged from bankruptcy court protection. The Company is an early stage and emerging growth company and, as such, the Company is subject to allrequirements of the risks associatedModernization Rules, with early stagean effective date of July 31, 2019 ("2019 Hycroft TRS"). Subsequent to November 2021, the Company's operating plan has been focused on advancing evaluations and emerging growth companies.

As of March 31, 2018, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity through March 31, 2018 relates to the Company’s formation and its Initial Public Offering, which is described below, and identifying a target companydeveloping technical studies for a Business Combination. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of its initial Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, as defined below.

The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”) was declared effective on February 7, 2018. On February 12, 2018, the Company consummated the Initial Public Offering of 20,000,000 units (“Units” and, with respect to the Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”) at $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds of $200,000,000, which is described in Note 3. 

Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 7,500,000 warrants (the “Private Placement Warrants”) at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant in a private placement to the Company’s sponsor, Mudrick Capital Acquisition Holdings LLC ($6,500,000) (the “Sponsor”) and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. ($1,000,000) (“Cantor”), generating gross proceeds of $7,500,000, which is described in Note 4. 

Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering on February 12, 2018, an amount of $202,000,000 ($10.10 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement Warrants was placed in a trust account (“Trust Account”) and may be invested in U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), with a maturity of 180 days or less or in any open-ended investment company that holds itself out as a money market fund selected by the Company meeting the conditions of paragraphs (d)(2), (d)(3) and (d)(4) of Rule 2a-7 of the Investment Company Act, as determined by the Company, until the earlier of: (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the Trust Account, as described below.

On February 28, 2018, in connection with the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 800,000 Units at $10.00 per Unit and the sale of an additional 240,000 Private Placement Warrants at $1.00 per warrant, generating total gross proceeds of $8,240,000. Following the closing, an additional $8,080,000 of net proceeds ($10.10 per Unit) was placed in the Trust Account, resulting in $210,080,000 ($10.10 per Unit) held in the Trust Account.

Transaction costs amounted to $11,974,088, consisting of $4,160,000 of underwriting fees, $7,280,000 of deferred underwriting fees payable (which are held in the Trust Account) and $534,088 of other costs. In addition, as of March 31, 2018, $835,631 of cash was held outside of the Trust Account and is available for working capital purposes. As described in Note 5, the $7,280,000 deferred underwriting fees payable is contingent upon the consummation of a Business Combination by February 12, 2020.

The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward consummating a Business Combination. There is no assurancemilling sulfide ore so that the Company will be able to complete a Business Combination successfully. The Company must complete one or more initial Business Combinations having an aggregate fair market value of at least 80% of the assets held in the Trust Account (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. However, the Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-transaction company owns or acquires 50% or more of the outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act.

 The Company will provide its holders of the outstanding shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001, par value $0.0001 (“Class A common stock”), sold in the Initial Public Offering (the “public stockholders”) with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares (as defined below in Note 3)can evaluate alternative processing technologies. Based upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i)Company's findings in connection with a stockholder meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii)2021, including an analysis completed by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek stockholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be madean independent third-party research laboratory and independent reviews by the Company, solely in its discretion. The public stockholders will be entitled to redeem their Public Shares for a pro rata portion of the amount then in the Trust Account ($10.10 per Public Share). The per-share amount to be distributed to public stockholders who redeem their Public Shares will not be reduced by the deferred underwriting commissions the Company will pay to the underwriters (as discussed in Note 5). In such case, the Company will proceed with a Business Combination if the Company has net tangible assets of at least $5,000,001 upon such consummation of a Business Combination and, if the Company seeks stockholder approval, a majority of the shares voted are voted in favor of the Business Combination.

In addition, the initial stockholders have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to their Founder Shares and Public Shares in connection with the completion of a Business Combination.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that a public stockholder, together with any affiliate of such stockholder or any other person with whom such stockholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 15% or more of the Class A common stock sold in the Initial Public Offering, without the prior consent of the Company.

 The Company’s Sponsor, officers and directors (the “initial stockholders”) have agreed not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (i) that would affect the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of its Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to stockholders’ rights or pre-business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Class A common stock in conjunction with any such amendment.

If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination by February 12, 2020 (the “Combination Period”), the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter, redeem the Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to pay franchise and income taxes (less up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public stockholders’ rights as stockholders (including the right to receive further liquidating distributions, if any), subject to applicable law, and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the Company’s remaining stockholders and the Company’s board of directors, dissolve and liquidate, subject in each case to the Company’s obligations under Delaware law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law.

The initial stockholders have agreed to waive their liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. However, if the initial stockholders acquire Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, they will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to such Public Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 5) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within in the Combination Period and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the other funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the residual assets remaining available for distribution (including Trust Account assets) will be only $10.10 per share held in the Trust Account. In order to protect the amounts held in the Trust Account, the Sponsor has agreed to be liable to the Company if and to the extent any claims by a vendor for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or a prospective target business with which the Company has discussed entering into a transaction agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account. This liability will not apply with respect to any claims by a third party who executed a waiver of any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account or to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”("SEC"). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers, prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account.

While the Company expects to continue processing gold and silver ore on the leach pads and partially offset the cash that is projected to be used in its operations and investing activities, the Company does not expect to generate net positive cash from operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to fund its business. As discussed in Note 13 - Stockholders' Equity, the Company raised gross proceeds of $194.4 million in March 2022 through the following equity financings:
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the SECCompany agreed to sell an aggregate of 46,816,480 units at a purchase price of $1.193 per unit for total gross proceeds, before deduction of fees and expenses, of $55.9 million.
On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an at-the-market offering program pursuant to which the Company    registered the offer and sale from time to time of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million of gross proceeds. Under the at-the-market offering, which was completed on February 8, 2018,March 25, 2022, the Company sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock for gross proceeds, before commissions and offering expenses, of $138.6 million.
Also, as welldiscussed in Note 9 - Debt, Net, as a result of the equity financings above, the Company reached an agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP (the "Lender") with respect to the Credit Agreement among Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, as borrower, Autar Gold Corporation MUDS, MUDS Holdco Inc., Allied VGH LLC, Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, Hycroft Resources and Development, LLC, Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector) Inc., and Sprott Resources Lending Corp. (“Sprott Credit Agreement”), which required the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million following the Company’s Form 8-K, as filed withreceipt of the SEC$55.9 million cash proceeds discussed above. The Company also made the additional prepayment of $13.9 million on February 16, 2018. The interim results forMarch 30, 2022.
In addition to the three months ended March 31, 2018above equity financings, the Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to raise additional capital necessary to fund the future development of the Hycroft Mine and will continue to explore other strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value.
Historically, the Company has been dependent on various forms of debt and equity financing to fund its business. While the Company has been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that funds are not necessarily indicative ofavailable, the results toCompany may be expected for the year ended December 31, 2018 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company” as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, as modified by the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”), and it may take advantage of certain exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not emerging growth companies including, but not limited to, not being required to comply with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation inmaterially change its periodic reports and proxy statements, and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved.

Further, Section 102(b)(1) of the JOBS Act exempts emerging growth companies from being required to comply with new or revised financial accounting standards until private companies (that is, those that have not had a Securities Act registration statement declared effective or do not have a class of securities registered under the Exchange Act) are required to comply with the new or revised financial accounting standards. The JOBS Act provides that a company can elect to opt out of the extended transition period and comply with the requirements that apply to non-emerging growth companies but any such election to opt out is irrevocable. The Company has elected not to opt out of such extended transition period which means that when a standard is issued or revised and it has different application dates for public or private companies, the Company, as an emerging growth company, can adopt the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparison of the Company’s financial statements with another public company which is neither an emerging growth company nor an emerging growth company which has opted out of using the extended transition period difficult or impossible because of the potential differences in accounting standards used.

business plans.

Use of estimates

The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to: recoverable gold and silver ounces on leach pads and in-process inventories; timing of near-term ounce production and related sales; the useful lives of long-lived assets; estimates of mineral resources; estimates of life-of-mine production timing, volumes, costs and prices; future mining and current and future processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; deferred taxes and related valuation allowances; estimates of the fair value of liability classified warrants, and estimates of fair value for asset impairments and financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these condensed consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies guidance on accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity including calculating diluted earnings per share. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.
In December of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that will clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (i) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (ii) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2021-04 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

Excise tax liability
A new mining excise tax applied to gross proceeds became effective on July 1, 2021, following the passing of Assembly Bill 495 at the Nevada Legislative Session ended on May 31, 2021. The new excise tax is a tiered tax, with a highest rate of 1.1% and the first payment is due in April 2022.

The bill does not take into consideration expenses or costs incurred to generate gross proceeds. Therefore, this tax will be treated as a gross receipts tax and not as a tax based on income. As a result, this new tax will be reported amountsas a component of assetsCost of sales and not as income tax expense. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has accrued $0.7 million related to the annual excise tax, included in Other liabilities, current.

Second Amendment to Sprott Credit Agreement
On March 30, 2022, the Company and disclosureLender under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second A&R Agreement”), which: (a) extended the maturity date for all of contingent assetsthe loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (b) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement Offering with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and 2176423 Ontario Limited (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”); (c) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Agreement in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (d) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales will be credited/offset by the aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments ($23.9 million), and to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. The Company: (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest of $0.5 million; (ii) made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in-kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022; and (iii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million on March 30, 2022.

The Note Amendment also removes the requirements that a holder receive the consent of the Company and the other holders in order to transfer any Subordinated Note. The Amending Holders constituted all of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Note Amendment became effective upon the closing of a private placement upon receipt of $55.9 million gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses).

As discussed above, pursuant to the Private Placement Offering, the Company issued 46,816,480 Warrants with an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share that expire five years from the date of issuance. The Warrants are deemed freestanding, equity-linked financial instructions that do not require liability classification under ASC Topic 480-10 Overall Debt because: (1) they are not mandatory redeemable shares; (2) they do not obligate the Company to buy back shares; and (3) they are not settled in a variable number of shares. As a result, the Company allocated the gross proceeds of $55.9 million from the Private Placement Offering between the Warrants and common stock as of the closing date of March 15, 2022. The Company used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to determine the fair value of the Warrants upon the issuance date using the following assumptions:

16. Income Taxes
The Company's anticipated annual tax rate is impacted primarily by the completionamount of the Initial Public Offering.

Income taxes

The Company follows the asset and liability method of accounting fortaxable income taxes under FASB ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” Deferredassociated with each jurisdiction in which its income is subject to income tax, assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable topermanent differences between the financial statementsstatement carrying amounts and tax basis of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") imposes limitations on deferred tax assets and liabilitiesthe use of U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) upon a more than 50% change in tax rates is recognized in incomeownership in the period that includedCompany (ad defined in the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets toIRC) within a three-year period. In connection with its at-the-market equity offering, the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribesCompany underwent a recognition threshold and a measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were no unrecognized tax benefits and no amounts accrued for interest and penalties as ofSection 382 ownership change on March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company is subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S.  Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (“Tax Reform”) was signed into law.25, 2022. As a result, utilization of Tax Reform,the Company’s NOL’s and certain unrealized losses are limited on an annual basis. If the Section 382 annual limitation amount is not fully utilized in a particular tax year, then the unused portion from that tax year is added to the Section 382 annual limitation in subsequent years. The Company’s annual limitation under Section 382 is estimated to be approximately $1.3 million.

The Company incurred no net income tax expense or benefit for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022, and 2021, was 0.0% and 0.0%, respectively. The effective tax rates differed from the statutory rate during each period primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred tax assets. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was less than the U.S. statutory rate which was due to the current year tax rate was lowered from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes. FASB ASC 740 requires companies to recognizeloss, offsetting the effect of tax law changeschange in valuation allowance.
17. Loss Per Share
The table below summarizes the period of enactment; therefore, the Company was required to revalue its deferred tax assetsCompany's basic and liabilities at December 31, 2017 at the new rate. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118 (“SAB 118”) to address the application of GAAP in situations when a registrant does not have the necessary information available, prepared, or analyzed (including computations) in reasonable detail to complete the accounting for certain tax effects of Tax Reform.

Due to the two-class method of income per share. Net income per common share, basic and diluted for Class A common stock is calculated by dividing the interest income earned on the Trust Account,Company's net of applicable franchise and income taxes, by the weighted average number of Class A common stock outstanding for the period. Net loss per common share, basic and diluted for Class B common stock is calculated by dividing the net income (loss), less income attributable to Class A common stock, by the weighted average number of Class B common stock outstanding for the period.

Concentration of credit risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of a cash account in a financial institution which, at times may exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Coverage of $250,000. At March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Company had not experienced losses on this account and management believes the Company is not exposed to significant risks on such account.

Fair value of financial instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature.

Recently accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

3. INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING

Pursuant to the Initial Public Offering, the Company sold 20,800,000 units at a price of $10.00 per Unit, inclusive of 800,000 Units sold on February 28, 2018 upon the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option. Each Unit consists of one share of Class A common stock (such shares of Class A common stock included in the Units being offered, the “Public Shares”), and one redeemable warrant (each, a “Public Warrant”). Each Public Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment (see Note 6).

4. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

Founder Shares

On September 25, 2017, the Sponsor purchased 5,750,000 shares (the “Founder Shares”) of the Company’s Class B common stock, par value $0.001 (“Class B common stock”) for an aggregate price of $25,000. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into shares of Class A common stock at the time of the Company’s initial Business Combination and are subject to certain transfer restrictions, as described in Note 6. Holders of Founder Shares may also elect to convert their shares of Class B common stock into an equal number of shares of Class A common stock, subject to adjustment, at any time. The initial stockholders have agreed to forfeit up to 750,000 Founder Shares to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters. The forfeiture will be adjusted to the extent that the over-allotment option is not exercised in full by the underwriters so that the Founder Shares will represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares after the Initial Public Offering. As a result of the underwriters’ election to partially exercise their over-allotment option on February 28, 2018, 200,000 Founder Shares are no longer subject to forfeiture. The underwriters elected not to exercise the remaining portion of the over-allotment option and, therefore, 550,000 Founder Shares were forfeited.

The initial stockholders have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of: (A) one year after the completion of the initial Business Combination or (B) subsequent to the initial Business Combination, (x) if the last sale price of the Class A common stock equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period commencing at least 150 days after the initial Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, capital stock exchange or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s stockholders having the right to exchange their shares of common stock for cash, securities or other property.

Private Placement Warrants

Concurrently with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 7,500,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant (6,500,000 Private Placement Warrants by the Sponsor and 1,000,000 Private Placement Warrants by Cantor) for an aggregate purchase price of  $7,500,000. On February 28, 2018, the Company consummated the sale of an additional 240,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per Private Placement Warrant, of which 200,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by the Sponsor and 40,000 Private Placement Warrants were purchased by Cantor, generating gross proceeds of $240,000. Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one whole share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The proceeds from the Private Placement Warrants were added to the proceeds from the Initial Public Offering held in the Trust Account. If the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period, the Private Placement Warrants will expire worthless. The Private Placement Warrants will be non-redeemable and exercisable on a cashless basis so long as they are held by the Sponsor, Cantor or their permitted transferees. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Company’s Business Combination or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. In addition, for as long as the Private Placement Warrants are held by Cantor or its designees or affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering.

The Private Placement Warrants have been deemed compensation by Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, or FINRA and are therefore subject to a 180-day lock-up pursuant to Rule 5110(g)(1) of the FINRA Manual commencing on the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering. Pursuant to FINRA Rule 5110(g)(1), these securities will not be the subject of any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of the securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement for the Initial Public Offering. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants purchased by Cantor may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated for 180 days following the effective date of the Initial Public Offering except to any selected dealer participating in the Initial Public Offering and the bona fide officers or partners of the underwriter and any such participating selected dealer.

The Sponsor, Cantor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of their Private Placement Warrants until 30 days after the completion of the initial Business Combination.

Related Party Loans

On September 25, 2017, the Sponsor agreed to loan the Company an aggregate of up to $300,000 to cover expenses related to the Proposed Public Offering pursuant to a promissory note (the “Note”). The Note was non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2018 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The Note was repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering.

In addition, in order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). If the Company completes a Business Combination, the Company would repay the Working Capital Loans out of the proceeds of the Trust Account released to the Company. Otherwise, the Working Capital Loans would be repaid only out of funds held outside the Trust Account. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. Except for the foregoing, the terms of such Working Capital Loans, if any, have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. The Working Capital Loans would either be repaid upon consummation of a Business Combination, without interest, or, at the lender’s discretion, up to $1,500,000 of such Working Capital Loans may be convertible into warrants of the post Business Combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants.

Administrative Support Agreement

The Company entered into an agreement whereby, commencing on February 8, 2018 through the earlier of the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination and its liquidation, to pay the Sponsor a total of $10,000 per month for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support. Forduring the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $20,000 of administrative service fees.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Pursuant to a registration rights agreement entered into on February 7, 2018, the holders of Founder Shares, Private Placement Warrants, securities issuable pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract (see below),2022 and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans are entitled to registration rights (in the case of the Founder Shares, only after conversion of such shares to shares of Class A common stock). These holders have certain demand and “piggyback” registration rights. The Company will bear the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Underwriting Agreement

The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of $0.20 per Unit, or $4,160,000 in the aggregate. In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $7,280,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

The funds from the sale of Forward Units will be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in a Business Combination; any excess funds from this private placement will be used for working capital purposes in the post-transaction company. This commitment is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares and provides the Company with a minimum funding level for a Business Combination.

(Unaudited)

The Private Placement Warrants are identical to the Public Warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that the Private Placement Warrants and the Class A common stock issuable upon the exercise of the Private Placement Warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the Private Placement Warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis and be non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees. If the Private Placement Warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the Private Placement Warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

The Company may redeem the Public Warrants (except with respect to the Private Placement Warrants):

in whole and not in part;
at a price of $0.01 per warrant;
at any time during the exercise period;
upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption; and
if, and only if, the last sale price of the Company’s Class A common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-trading day period ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.
If, and only if, there is a current registration statement in effect with respect to the shares of Class A common stock underlying such warrants.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement.

The exercise price and number of shares of Class A common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a stock dividend, or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, the warrants will not be adjusted for issuance of Class A common stock at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Combination Period and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS 

The Company follows the guidance in ASC 820 for its financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at

Recurring fair value at each reporting period, and non-financial assets and liabilities that are re-measured and reported at fair value at least annually. 

measurements

The fair value of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities reflects management’s estimate of amounts that the Company would have received in connection with the sale of the assets or paid in connection with the transfer of the liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. In connection with measuringfollowing table sets forth by level within the fair value of its assets and liabilities, the Company seeks to maximize the use of observable inputs (market data obtained from independent sources) and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs (internal assumptions about how market participants would price assets and liabilities). The following fair value hierarchy, is used to classify assets and liabilities based on the observable inputs and unobservable inputs used in order to value the assets and liabilities:

Level 1:Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. An active market for an asset or liability is a market in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2:Observable inputs other than Level 1 inputs. Examples of Level 2 inputs include quoted prices in active markets for similar assets or liabilities and quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active.
Level 3:Unobservable inputs based on our assessment of the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The following table presents information about the Company’s assets that areliabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands).

Seller Warrants218 
Total$5,990 $669 
5-Year Private Warrants
The 5-Year Private Warrants are valued using a Black-Scholes model that requires a variety of inputs including the Company's stock price, the strike price of the 5-Year Private Warrants, the risk-free rate, and the implied volatility. As the terms of the 5-Year Private Warrants are identical to the terms of the 5-Year Public Warrants except that the 5-Year Private Warrants, while held by certain holders or their permitted transferees, are precluded from mandatory redemption and are entitled to be exercise on a "cashless basis" at the holder’s election, the implied volatility used in the Black-Scholes model is calculated using a Monte-Carlo model of the 5-Year Public Warrants that factors in the restrictive redemption and cashless exercise features of the 5-Year Private Warrants. The Company updates the fair value calculation on at least a quarterly basis, or more frequently if changes in circumstances and assumptions indicate a change from the existing carrying value.
Seller Warrants
The Seller Warrant Agreement contains certain terms and features to reduce the exercise price and increase the number of shares of common stock each warrant is exercisable into. As a result, Seller Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments and carried at fair value. The fair value of Seller Warrants was computed by an independent third-party consultant (and validated by the Company) using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model that requires a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, exercise prices, equity volatility and discount rates. The Company updates the fair value calculation on at least an annual basis, or more frequently if changes in circumstances and assumptions indicate a change from the existing carrying value.
Items disclosed at fair value
Debt, net
The Sprott Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are privately held and, as such, there is no public market or trading information available for such debt instruments. As of March 31, 20182022 and December 31, 2017, and indicates2021, the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputsCompany’s debt instruments was $139.3 million and $162.8 million, compared to the carrying value of $139.7 million and $160.3 million as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the principal of the Company’s debt instruments, including capitalized interest, was estimated using a market approach in which pricing information for publicly traded, non-convertible debt instruments with speculative ratings were analyzed to derive a mean trading multiple to apply to the March 31, 2022 balances.

8. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS 

The Company evaluated subsequent eventshas deductible-based insurance policies for certain losses related to general liability, workers’ compensation and automobile coverage. The Company records accruals for contingencies related to its insurance policies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. These accruals are adjusted periodically as assessments change or additional information becomes available. Insurance losses for claims filed and claims incurred but not reported are accrued based upon estimates of the aggregate liability for uninsured claims using historical loss development factors and actuarial assumptions followed in the insurance industry.

In February 2022, the Company engaged a financial advisor to assist with its financing efforts. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company completed the Private Placement Offering, the ATM Program and entered into the Second A&R Agreement and Note Amendment without assistance from the financial advisor. As the Company completed the aforementioned equity and debt transactions that occurred afterduring the balance sheet date up toengagement period, the date thatCompany is currently in discussions with its financial advisor regarding the engagement and fees. As the discussions are ongoing, the amount of a fee, if any, is not currently estimable. As a result, the Company has not provided for an amount due under the engagement within its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Financial commitments not recorded in the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review,
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company's off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net smelter royalty arrangement and a net profit royalty arrangement.

HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION
Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
Net profit royalty
A portion of the Hycroft Mine is subject to a mining lease that requires a 4% net profit royalty be paid to the owner of certain patented and unpatented mining claims. The mining lease also requires an annual advance payment of $120,000 every year mining occurs on the leased claims. All advance annual payments are credited against the future payments due under the 4% net profit royalty. An additional payment of $120,000 is required for each year total tons mined on the leased claims exceeds 5.0 million tons. As the Company didceased mining operations in November 2021, the Company was not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustmentto pay the annual advance payment of $120,000 in 2022. The total payments due under the mining lease are capped at $7.6 million, of which the Company has paid or disclosureaccrued $3.0 million and included $0.6 million in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2022.
Net smelter royalty
Pursuant to the Sprott Royalty agreement in which the Company received cash consideration in the amount of $30.0 million, the Company granted a perpetual royalty equal to 1.5% of the Net Smelter Returns from its Hycroft Mine, payable monthly. Net Smelter Returns for any given month are calculated as Monthly Production multiplied by the Monthly Average Gold Price and the Monthly Average Silver Price, minus Allowable Deductions, as such terms are defined in the Sprott Royalty Agreement. The Company is required to remit royalty payments to the payee free and clear and without any present or future deduction, withholding, charge or levy on account of taxes, except Excluded Taxes as such term is defined in the Sprott Royalty Agreement.
At both March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the estimated net present value of the Company’s net smelter royalty was $154.0 million. The net present value of the Company's net smelter royalty was modeled using the following level 3 inputs: (i) market consensus inputs for future gold and silver prices; (ii) a precious metals industry consensus discount rate of 5.0%; and (iii) estimates of the Hycroft Mine’s life-of-mine gold and silver production volumes and timing.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References in this report (the “Quarterly Report”) to “we,” “us” or the “Company” refer to Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation. References to our “management” or our “management team” refer to our officers and directors, and references to the “sponsor” refer to Mudrick Capital Acquisition Holdings LLC.

The following discussion, which has been prepared based on information available to us as of May 4, 2022, provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and analysisunderstanding of our consolidated operating results and financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our other reports filed with the Company’sU.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as well as our condensed consolidated financial statements (the "Financial Statements") and the notes thereto (the "Notes") included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2022. Terms not defined herein have the same meaning defined in the Financial Statements and the Notes.
The following MD&A generally discusses our condensed consolidated financial condition and results of operations should be readfor 2022 and 2021 and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021.
Introduction to the Company
We are a U.S.-based gold and silver development company that is focused on developing our wholly owned Hycroft Mine in conjunctiona safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. Gold and silver sales represent 100% of our revenues and the market prices of gold and silver significantly impact our financial position, operating results, and cash flows. The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada. We recently filed the 2022 Hycroft TRS which contemplates processing gold and silver ore using milling and pressure oxidation to process sulfide ore along with heap leaching to process oxide and transition ore.
Health and Safety
We believe that safety is a core value, and we support that belief through our philosophy of safe work performance. Our mandatory mine safety and health programs include employee engagement and ownership of safety performance, accountability, employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program auditing. This integrated approach is essential to ensure that our employees, contractors, and visitors operate safely.
During the first three months of 2022, we reported no lost time accidents. The Hycroft Mine’s total recordable injury frequency rate ("TRIFR") for the trailing twelve months, which includes other reportable incidents, is one of the metrics we use to assess safety performance, and it is well below industry averages and significantly below historical levels experienced at the Hycroft Mine. During the first three months of 2022 we continued our critical focus on safety, including allocating additional personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications to mine safety. These actions contributed to a reduction in our TRIFR to approximately 0.29 at March 31, 2022, compared with approximately 0.64 at December 31, 2021, an approximate 54% reduction. We will continue our safety efforts to reach the level of safety we expect and need to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.
For health and safety actions specific to COVID-19, refer to the Recent Developments section of this MD&A.
27

Executive Summary
During the first three months ended March 31, 2022, we continued producing gold and silver from ore on the leach pads and expect to continue as long as it remains economic. When the operation was re-started in 2019, mining oxide and transition ore allowed the Company to pre-strip overburden with some revenue offset to gain access to commercial scale sulfide mineralization. With the change in focus from the Novel Process to a milling operation, there is ample time to align the remaining pre-stripping with the start-up of commercial scale sulfide operations. We believe that this action will conserve cash and focus the Company's time and resources on its technical studies for sulfide ore. The metallurgical and variability drill program concluded in the first quarter of 2022, and metallurgical analysis and test work is expected to continue through third quarter of 2022.
Following a review of past and recent test work and based on the currently contemplated designs and operating parameters of the alternative sulfide processing methods being studied including the Novel Process, and milling with atmospheric alkaline oxidation or alkaline pressure oxidation ("POX"), the Company, working closely with its industry leading technical consultants, completed pit optimization runs and trade-off analyses comparing the alternative processes which reflected that an Acid POX process has significantly better economics than other processes studied. Therefore, the Company focused its study efforts and resources solely on the Acid POX Initial Assessment which was prepared by Ausenco, with an effective date of February 18, 2022. The Acid POX process included in the 2022 Hycroft TRS is a conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation circuit that generates a concentrate to be fed to an autoclave facility commonly used for refractory gold ores in this region.
2022 Highlights
Safety - Hycroft's safety performance continued to improve with a 0.29 trailing 12-month TRIFR at the end of the first quarter of 2022. This represents an approximate 54% reduction in TRIFR compared with 0.64 at the end of 2021.
Production - Gold production for the three months ended March 31, 2022, was 5,358 ounces and silver production was 16,861 ounces, both in line with forecast. Processing of ore on leach pads is currently planned to proceed through the second quarter of 2022.
Strengthened balance sheet:
Raised gross cash proceeds of $194.4 million through a $55.9 million private placement offering and $138.6 million in an at-the-market equity offering program, before deductions of commissions, fees and expenses.
Amended the Sprott Credit Agreement such that no further scheduled payments of principal are required prior to maturity, which was extended by two years to May 31, 2027, after raising the $50.0 million minimum equity and paying a $3.3 million fee in-kind. In addition, we made a prepayment of $23.9 million as required under the amended agreement.
Amended the Subordinated Notes to extend debt maturity by two years to December 1, 2027 with continuing 10% interest payable in-kind.
The Company ended the first quarter of 2022 with $172.8 million of cash on hand and was in compliance with debt covenants.
Finalized Initial Assessment Technical Report - The Company along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary for the Hycroft Mine ("2022 Hycroft TRS") with an effective date of February 18, 2022. As of March 31, 2022, the Hycroft Mine had measured and indicated mineral resources of 9.6 million ounces of gold and 446.0 million ounces of silver and inferred mineral resources of 5.0 million ounces of gold and 150.4 million ounces of silver, which are contained in oxide, transitional and sulfide ores.
Project Update
Drill Results - As we initially reported in our February 22, 2022 news release, results from our 2021 drill program continue to be delayed due to backlogs in the independent labs associated with reduced staffing levels from the Covid-19 pandemic and high demand for these services. To date, we have received results for approximately 30% of the drill samples. Additional results on the remaining samples are anticipated to be received over the course of the next two quarters, assuming no further delays.
28

Potential under-estimation of silver in the resource model - Following our review of the resource in 2021, we announced on February 22, 2022, that silver may be under-estimated in the resource model noting that a significant portion of historical drilling in the database does not include assay information for silver. With silver currently estimated to contribute 40-50% of the potential value at the Hycroft Mine under the milling process, we believe this information is an important factor to the overall understanding of the resource. This represents a significant potential opportunity at Hycroft. We have located a portion of the historical pulps and have sent them to an independent lab to re-analyze for the missing silver values. It may become necessary to conduct additional drilling to gather samples for the other areas of missing silver values as it could yield a significant opportunity for additional economic benefit.
Exploration - We have initiated work to conduct a robust exploration program during 2022 to follow up on the significant intercepts previously disclosed in our press releases of September 8, 2021 and February 22, 2022. There has been no exploration drilling at Hycroft since 2014 and no prior focus on understanding the potential feeder to the resource.
Recent Developments
COVID-19
We have implemented health and safety policies for employees, contractors, and visitors that follow the guidelines published by the Center for Disease Control ("CDC") and the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA"). During the three months ended March 31, 2022, our operations faced certain limitations due to COVID-19, however the impact, while negative, did not materially and adversely impact our operations.
Mineral Resource Update
Gold equivalent mineral resources totaled 15.5 million ounces of measured and indicated and 6.9 million ounces of inferred. For this study, IMC developed the Hycroft Mine resource block model which includes data from 1981 to 2018 and includes 5,501 holes, representing 2,482,722 ft of drilling. The current inflationary environment and change in processing technique has resulted in increased cost assumptions and an associated higher cut-off grade partially mitigated by higher recoveries leading to a change in the mineral resource estimate, when compared with the prior model.
The mineral resources were estimated based upon results of the 2022 Hycroft TRS, as conducted in accordance with the Modernization Rules.
Private Placement
On March 14, 2022,the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements” and each a “Subscription Agreement”) with each of American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”) and 2176423 Ontario Limited, an entity affiliated with Eric Sprott (“Sprott” and together with AMC, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers, in a private placement, an aggregate of 46,816,480 units (“Units”) at a purchase price per Unit of $1.193, with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), providing for a total purchase price of approximately $55.9 million (the “Private Placement”). The Warrants issued in the Private Placement have an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share and will expire five years after issuance.
The closing of the sales of securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreements occurred on March 15, 2022 for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $55.9 million before deducting expenses incurred in connection with the Private Placement.The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of existing indebtedness, working capital or capital expenditures and other investments, which may include additional technical evaluations and studies, advancement of the Initial Assessment in the 2022 Hycroft TRS to a pre-feasibility and/or feasibility study and additional exploration at the Hycroft Mine.
The Subscription Agreement with AMC, as amended, also provided AMC with the right to appoint a director to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the Company agreed to support such director’s nomination so long as AMC retains at least 50% of the common stock purchased under the Subscription Agreement with AMC and holds at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities.
As required by the Subscription Agreements, the Company prepared and filed a resale registration statement with the SEC to register the common stock, warrants and Warrant Shares for sale under the Securities Act.

Agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP
On November 10, 2021, the Company entered into a waiver with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector) (the "Lender") of certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement effective November 10, 2021 (the "November 2021 Waiver"). Pursuant to the November 2021 Waiver, the Lender permitted the Company to cease active mining operations and to reduce the amount of Unrestricted Cash required to be maintained by the Company from not less than $10.0 million to not less than $9.0 million for the period ending May 10, 2022
On February 28, 2022 the Company entered into a waiver and amendment agreement with the Lender (the "February 2022 Waiver and Amendment") amending the previous waiver and require that the Company maintain at least $7.5 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of February 2022 and at least $9.0 million on the last day of each month thereafter during the waiver period, waived all obligations of the Company to prepay the facility with the net cash proceeds of any mill asset sales until the earlier of the date on which the Company completes a private placement or other offering or issuance of its equity securities and March 31, 2022, and extended the payment due date for the February additional interest payment and the February principal payment until the earlier of any such offering date and March 31, 2022.
On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “March 2022 Sprott Agreement”) with the Lender with respect to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sprott Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Lender, the Guarantors (as defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement) and the other parties thereto. As described in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, the Company was contemplating the sale or issuance of its equity securities pursuant to one or more transactions to be completed on or before March 31, 2022 (the “Equity Financing Transactions”). Pursuant to the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, if the Equity Financing Transactions resulted (or were likely to result pursuant to definitive subscription underwriting and/or similar legally binding agreements) in the Company’s receipt of total gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses) of at least $50 million on or before March 31, 2022 (the “Required Equity Amount”), the Lender and the Company were obligated to amend the principal repayment terms under the Sprott Credit Agreement such that no further scheduled payments of principal shall be required prior to May 31, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) (i.e., there will be no required regular amortization payments of the facility and the full principal balance of the facility shall be due and payable in a single “bullet” payment on the Maturity Date). The consummation of the Private Placement as described under “Private Placement” above satisfied the Required Equity Amount condition in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement.
The March 2022 Sprott Agreement also provided that, in connection with the modification of the required facility amortization payments, the Company shall pay in-kind to the Lender an amount equal to $3.3 million, with such amount to be capitalized and added to the principal amount owing under the Sprott Credit Agreement and accrue interest at the same rate and upon the same terms as the existing loans under the Sprott Credit Agreement; provided, the payment or prepayment of such capitalized principal amount shall not be subject to the Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement) or any other penalty or premium.
Second Amendment and Restatement of the Sprott Credit Agreement
On March 14, 2022, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the Lender to modify the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement and other applicable loan documents. On March 30, 2022, the Company and Lender under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 30, 2022 (“Second A&R Agreement”), which (a) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility (as such term is defined in the Second A&R Agreement) by two years, to May 31, 2027; (b) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement offering (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”); (c) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Second A&R Agreement in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (d) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations (i) to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales were credited/offset by the $23.9 million aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments, and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the Company made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022 and following the execution of the Second A&R Agreement on March 30, 2022, the Company (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest payment of $0.5 million, and (ii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million. After giving effect to
30

such prepayments the outstanding principal balance under the Second A&R Agreement was $57.9 million as of March 31, 2022 (before issuance discounts) including unpaid additional interest of approximately $7.1 million.
At-the-market Offering of Common Shares
On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an “at-the-market offering” program (“ATM Program”) by entering into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company had the right from time to time to or through the Agent, acting as sales agent or principal, to offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having a gross sales price of up to $500.0 million.The compensation payable to the Agent for sales of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement was equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price for any shares of common stock sold through the ATM Program by Agent as sales agent under the Sales Agreement.Shares sold under the Sales Agreement, were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-257567) (the “Registration Statement”) that the SEC declared effective on July 13, 2021, including the prospectus, dated July 13, 2021, and the prospectus supplement, dated March 15, 2022.
On March 25, 2022, the Company terminated the ATM Program having sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock and generated aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $138.6 million.
Amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement (the “Note Amendment”), with (i) certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as Guarantors; (ii) holders of the 10% Senior Secured Notes (the "Subordinated Notes"), including certain funds affiliated with, or managed by, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P, Whitebox Advisors, LLC, Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, Aristeia Highbridge Capital Management, LLC and Wolverine Asset Management, LLC (collectively, the “Amending Holders”), and (iii) Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent. The Note Amendment amends the Note Exchange Agreement dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) and the Subordinated Notes issued thereunder in order to extend the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. The Note Amendment also removes the requirements that a holder receive the consent of the Company and the other holders in order to transfer any Subordinated Note. The Amending Holders constituted all of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Note Amendment became effective upon the closing of the Private Placement Offering upon receipt of $55.9 million gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses).
Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
On March 11, 2022, the Board approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by 1,000,000,000 to a total of 1,400,000,000 (the “Certificate of Incorporation Amendment”) and directed that the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment be submitted for consideration by the stockholders of the Corporation. On March 15, 2022, AMC, Sprott, and entities affiliated with Mudrick Capital Management LP, who together constituted the holders of a majority of the common stock, approved the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment by written consent. The Certificate of Incorporation Amendment became effective upon filing of the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 22, 2022, 20 days after the Company commenced distribution of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to the stockholders of the Company.
2022 Outlook
Our current operating plan is to: (i) operate safely as we continue to process heap leach inventory until it is no longer economic; (ii) complete the metallurgical test work associated with the variability drilling program; (iii) conduct exploration activities and targeted exploration drilling; and (iv) continue to advance the Acid POX technical study to a pre-feasibility or feasibility level.
31

Technical Activities
During the first quarter of 2022, we continued to work alongside our industry-leading consultants to provide additional and expanded information on the ore body and investigate opportunities for improvements in operating parameters for commercial scale operations at the Hycroft Mine. This information is critical in understanding the mineralogical properties of the deposit and ultimately the most economic processing technology for the various ore domains. Accordingly, we developed an approximate $10 million program for drilling and additional metallurgical and mineralogical studies in 2021 and 2022. The drilling program was completed in January 2022, and the metallurgical test work portion of the program is expected to be completed in the early third quarter of 2022. Lab testing continues to be challenged by labor shortages and equipment availability. As of March 31, 2022, we have spent $8.0 million under the program.
Ongoing and future technical work for the Hycroft Mine will be primarily focused on the Acid POX milling for processing sulfide ore and completing the variability and metallurgical test work. We also plan to evaluate exploration opportunities targeting higher ore grades.
Exploration – We have identified exploration drilling opportunities to follow up on higher grade areas that would benefit from expanded drilling in order to convert inferred blocks to measured or indicated blocks, and areas that are prospective for higher grade material. We currently have plans to opportunistically and cost effectively drill these areas as we have drilling capacity with the drill rigs that were contracted to complete the variability drilling program.
Variability test work - The variability test work that is underway is necessary for all commercial scale sulfide processing options. The test work includes a suite of laboratory tests designed to:
understand the metallurgical characteristics of each geologic domain and their amenability to various processing technologies;
understand the metallurgical characteristics of sulfide material below the water table;
understand the role other minerals may play in the overall oxidation process;
determine amenability to oxidation in each geologic domain; and
establish a relationship between oxidation levels and gold recoveries across each geologic domain.

Average realized sales price - gold($/oz)$1,866 $1,784 
Average realized sales price - silver($/oz)$23.78 $26.12 
As shown above, tons mined, ounces produced and ounces sold decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared with the same period of the prior year. These decreases reflect the Company's decision to cease mining operations in November 2021. The Company expects to continue to process gold and silver ore on leach pads until such time that it is no longer economic to do so and as a result, due to the increases in the spot prices for gold during the first quarter of 2022, the average realized prices increased during the three months ended March 31, 2022.

Results of Operations
Revenues
Gold revenue
The table below summarizes gold sales, ounces sold and average realized prices for the following periods (dollars in thousands, except per ounce amounts):
Three Months Ended
March 31,
20222021
Gold revenue$8,906 $17,541 
Gold ounces sold4,773 9,830 
Average realized price (per ounce)$1,866 $1,784 
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, gold revenue was $8.9 million, compared to $17.5 million for the comparable period of 2021. The significant decrease in revenue during the 2022 period was attributable to the cessation of mining operations in November 2021. As a result, significantly less ore was under leach during the 2022 period as compared to the prior period of 2021. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average realized price which was due to higher spot prices for gold during the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Silver revenue
The table below summarizes silver sales, ounces sold and average realized prices for the following periods (dollars in thousands, except per ounce amounts):
Three Months Ended
March 31,

Silver revenue$260 $1,495 
Silver ounces sold10,934 57,236 
Average realized price (per ounce)$23.78 $26.12 
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, silver revenue was $0.3 million compared to $1.5 million for the comparable period of 2021. Similar to gold revenue, the decrease in silver revenue during the first quarter of 2022 was attributable to the cessation of mining activities in November 2021.
34

Total cost of sales
Total cost of sales consists of Production costs, Depreciation and amortization, and Mine site period costs. The table below summarizes total cost of sales for the following periods (dollars in thousands):
Three Months Ended
March 31,
20222021
Production costs$9,583 $17,817 
Depreciation and amortization920 1,041 
Mine site period costs6,469 10,544 
Total cost of sales$16,972 $29,402 
Production costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized $9.6 million, in Production costs, or $2,008 per ounce of gold sold, compared to $17.8 million or $1,813 per ounce of gold, sold during the same period of 2021. The decrease in Production costs was primarily due to a respective decrease in gold ounces sold of 5,057 ounces sold, partly offset by a higher average inventory cost per ounce during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021.
Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $0.9 million or $193 per ounce of gold sold for the three months ended March 31, 2022, respectively, compared to $1.0 million or $106 per ounce of gold sold, during the same periods of 2021. The increase in total depreciation and amortization costs per ounce of gold sold was largely due to a decrease of 5,057 gold ounces sold during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to the same period of 2021.
Mine site period costs
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, inclusive of depreciation and amortization, the Company recorded $6.5 million of Cost of sales for costs that were in excess of the net realizable value per ounce of gold inventories, compared to $10.5 million during the same periods of 2021. Such period costs are generally the result of costs related to activities at the Hycroft Mine that do not qualify for capitalization to production-related inventories or adjustments to production inventories that are the result of recurring or significant downtime or delays, unusually high levels of repairs, inefficient operations, overuse of processing reagents, inefficient cost-volume structures, or other unusual costs and activities, and cannot be recorded to production-related inventories based on the threshold established by the calculation of the estimated net realizable value per ounce of gold.
General and administrative
General and administrative totaled $3.1 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to $3.8 million during the same period of 2021. The decrease of $0.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was primarily due to decreases in salary and compensation costs of $0.6 million due to reduced headcount and consulting fees associated with former employees of the Company that ended during 2021 of $0.2 million . Such decreases were offset by an increase in insurance related costs of $0.1 million.
Projects, exploration and development
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, Projects, exploration and development costs totaled $1.0 million compared to $0.5 million for the same period of 2021. Projects, exploration and development are related to: (i) completing technical studies; (ii) conducting geological studies; (iii) oversight and project management; and (iv) exploration drilling, engineering, and metallurgical activities. The increase of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was the result of additional costs for the 2022 Hycroft TRS that was issued in February 2022 without established mineral reserves.
35

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest
As discussed and detailed in Note 9 - Debt, Net to the Notes to the Financial Statements, Interest expense, net of capitalized interest totaled $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to $4.4 million during the same period in 2021. The increase of $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2022 was the result of a higher balance outstanding on the Subordinated Notes at March 31, 2022 as compared to the same period in 2021. The higher outstanding balance for the Subordinated Notes was due to quarterly interest payments that are paid in-kind as additional indebtedness.
Fair value adjustments to warrants
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash loss of $5.3 million as the market trading values of the publicly-listed warrants increased.
During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of $9.5 million as the market trading values of the publicly-listed warrants decreased, which was primarily due to a decrease in the underlying trading price of the common stock.
Refer to Note 11 - Warrant Liabilities to the Notes to the Financial Statements for further detail.
Income taxes
There was no income tax benefit or expense, net, recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company has not recorded any future income tax benefits for net losses, due to a full valuation allowance recorded against the net operating loss carryforward.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") imposes limitations on the use of U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) upon a more than 50% change in ownership in the Company (as defined in the IRC) within a three-year period. In connection with its at-the-market equity offering, the Company underwent a Section 382 ownership change on March 25, 2022. As a result, utilization of the Company’s NOL’s and certain unrealized losses are limited on an annual basis. If the Section 382 annual limitation amount is not fully utilized in a particular tax year, then the unused portion from that tax year is added to the Section 382 annual limitation in subsequent years. The Company’s annual limitation under Section 382 is estimated to be approximately $1.3 million.
For additional details, refer to Note 16 - Income Taxes to the Notes to the Financial Statements.
Net loss
For the reasons discussed above, the Company recorded a net loss of $22.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, which included a loss from Fair value adjustments to warrants of $5.3 million compared to net losses of $9.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, which included a $9.5 million gain from Fair value adjustment to warrants.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company's unrestricted cash position at March 31, 2022 was $172.8 million as compared with $12.3 million at December 31, 2021. While the Company plans to continue processing gold and silver ore on the leach pads after ceasing mining operations and partially offset the cash that is projected to be used in operations and investing activities, the Company does not expect to generate net positive cash for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to fund the business. As discussed in Note 13 - Stockholders' Equity in the Notes to the Financial Statements,the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $194.4 million in March 2022, before deduction of commissions and expenses, through the following equity financings:
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the Company sold on March 15, 2022 an aggregate of 46,816,480 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a purchase price of $1.193 per unit for total gross proceeds, before deduction of fees and expenses, of $55.9 million.
On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented the ATM Program. On March 25, 2022 the Company terminated the ATM Program and announced that it had sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock under the ATM Program and generated aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $138.6 million.
36

In addition, the Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to raise additional capital necessary to fund the future development of the Hycroft Mine and will continue to explore other strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value.
Historically, the Company has been dependent on various forms of debt and equity financing to fund its business. While the Company has been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that funds are not available, the Company may be required to materially change its business plans.
To avoid potential non-compliance with the Sprott Credit Agreement, the Company obtained a series of waivers and entered into amendments to the Sprott Credit Agreement.Please see Debt Covenants below and Note 9 - Debt, Netin the Notes to the Financial Statements for information regarding additional waivers received and modifications to the Sprott Credit Agreement, including the Second A&R Agreement.
The Company's future liquidity and capital resources management strategy entails a disciplined approach to monitor the timing and depth of any drilling, metallurgical and mineralogical studies and the continuation of processing the remaining leach pad inventory while attempting to remain in a position that allows the Company to respond to changes in the business environment, such as a decrease in metal prices or lower than forecasted future cash flows, and changes in other factors beyond the Company's control. The Company has undertaken efforts aimed at managing its liquidity and preserving its capital resources by, among other things: (i) monitoring metal prices and the impacts (near-term and future) they have on the business and cash flows; (ii) ceasing open pit mining operations to reduce net cash outflows while continuing to process leach pad inventory until such time as it is no longer economic; (iii) reducing the size of the workforce to reflect the cessation of mining operations; (iv) controlling working capital and managing discretionary spending; (v) reviewing contractor usage and rental agreements for more economic options, including termination of certain agreements in accordance with their terms; (vi) decreasing restricted cash balances that collateralize bonds, as available; and (vii) planning the timing and amounts of capital expenditures and drilling, metallurgical and mineralogical study costs at the Hycroft Mine and deferring such items that are not expected to benefit our near term operating plans. The Company has undertaken and continue to undertake additional efforts to: (i) monetize non-core assets and excess materials and supplies inventories; (ii) return excess rental and leased equipment; (iii) sell certain uninstalled grinding mills that are not expected to be needed for a future milling operation; (iv) sell other uninstalled grinding mills if the proceeds contribute to enhancing a future milling operation; and (v) work with existing debt holders to adjust debt service requirements.
Cash and liquidity
The Company has placed substantially all of its cash in operating accounts with a well-capitalized financial institution, thereby ensuring balances remain readily available. Due to the nature of our operations and the composition of current assets, Cash and metal inventories represent substantially all of the liquid assets on hand. Additionally, the Company is provided with additional liquidity as ounces are recovered from the Ore on leach pads, processed into finished goods, and sold at prevailing spot prices to customers.
The following table summarizes projected sources of future liquidity, as recorded within the Financial Statements (dollars in thousands):

Total projected sources of future liquidity$193,742 $40,699 
(1)Metal inventories contained approximately 3,869 recoverable ounces of gold that are expected to be sold within the next 12 months. Assuming a gold selling price of $1,942 per ounce (the March 31, 2022 P.M. fix) and excluding any proceeds from silver sales, the sale of all gold ounces estimated to be recovered from metal inventories would provide $7.5 million of revenue. See Note 3 - Inventories and Ore on Leach Pads to the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.
(2)Ore on leach pads contained approximately 2,693 ounces of gold that are expected to be processed into finished goods and then sold within the next 12 months. Assuming a gold selling price of $1,942 per ounce (the March 31, 2022 P.M. fix) and excluding any proceeds from silver sales, the sale of all gold ounces estimated to be recovered from ore on leach pads would provide $5.2 million of revenue. See Note 3 - Inventories and Ore on Leach Pads to the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Cash used in operating activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company used $6.9 million of cash in operating activities primarily attributable to a net loss of $22.1 million, the cash impact of which was equal to $12.1 million, and $5.2 million was provided by working capital, which included a $6.1 million decrease for production-related inventories as the Company continues to process the remaining gold and silver ore on its leach pads which was partly offset by cash used to reduce Accounts payable of $2.8 million. The largest non-cash items included in net loss during the three months ended March 31, 2022 included a $5.3 million loss from Fair value adjustments to warrants and Non-cash portion of interest expense of $3.8 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company used $14.8 million of cash in operating activities primarily attributable to a net loss of $9.7 million, the cash impact of which was $12.5 million, and $2.2 million was used for working capital, which included $4.0 million used to increase production-related inventories. The largest non-cash items included in net loss for the three months ended March 31, 2021 included a $9.5 million gain from Fair value adjustments to warrants and Non-cash portion of interest expense of $4.4 million.
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2022, investing activities provided cash of $1.6 million primarily from the sale of a regrind mill, which was included in Assets held for sale, for gross proceeds of $1.3 million and other mobile mine equipment and materials and supplies for proceeds of $0.7 million. In addition, the Company purchased mobile mine equipment of $0.4 million.
For the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company used $5.1 million in investing activities which primarily related to expenditures of $2.5 million (exclusive of capitalized interest of $0.7 million) for the leach pad expansion project and $1.4 million for purchased equipment. The Company completed construction of the leach pad to the appropriate point at which the Company believes there would be minimal risk of adverse impacts to the leach pad.
Cash provided by financing activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2022 cash provided by financing activities of $165.7 million was primarily related to the equity offerings completed during the period: (i) the Private Placement offering completed on March 15, 2022 for gross proceeds of $55.9 million, and (ii) the ATM Program completed on March 25, 2022 for net proceeds of $134.3 million. These amounts were offset by the required prepayments under the Second A&R Agreement of $24.4 million, including $0.5 million of additional interest.
There were no cash financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Debt covenants
The Company's debt agreements contain representations and warranties, events of default, restrictions and limitations, reporting requirements, and covenants that are customary for agreements of these types.
The Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement) contains covenants that, among other things, restrict or limit the ability of the Company to enter into encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), incur indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), dispose of its assets (other than Permitted Disposals), pay dividends, and purchase or redeem shares, as such terms are defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement). The Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement) requires the Company to ensure that, at all times, both its Working Capital and Unrestricted Cash are at least $10.0 million (subsequently reduced by the Waiver and Waiver Amendment discussed below), as such terms are defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement), and that at least every six months the Company demonstrates its ability to repay and meet all present and future obligations as they become due with a financial model that uses consensus gold prices discounted by 5.0%. The Subordinated Notes include customary events of default, including those relating to a failure to pay principal or interest, a breach of a covenant, representation or warranty, a cross-default to other indebtedness, and non-compliance with security documents. As of March 31, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt agreements.
On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment with the Lender amending the November 2021 Waiver. Pursuant to the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment, the Lender: (i) waived the Company’s obligation under the Sprott Credit Agreement to maintain at least $9.0 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of each calendar month during the period ending May 10, 2022 (the “Waiver Period”), provided that, the Company maintained at least $7.5 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of February 2022 and at least $9.0 million on the last day of each month thereafter during the Waiver Period; (ii) waived all obligations of the Company to prepay the facility with the net cash proceeds of any Mill Asset Sales (as defined in the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment) until the earlier of: (A) the date on which the Company completes a private placement or other offering or issuance of its equity securities (the “Offering Date”); and (B) March 31, 2022; and (iii) extended the payment due date for the additional February interest payment and the February principal payment until the earlier of: (A) the Offering Date; and (B) March 31, 2022. Further, pursuant to the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment, any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of the preceding sentence would constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.
On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into the March 2022 Sprott Agreement with the Lender with respect to the Sprott Credit Agreement. As described in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, the Company was contemplating Equity Financing Transactions to be completed on or before March 31, 2022. Pursuant to the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, if the Equity Financing Transactions result (or are likely to result pursuant to definitive subscription underwriting and/or similar legally binding agreements) in the Company’s receipt of total gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses) of the Required Equity Amount on or before March 31, 2022, the Lender and the Company were obligated to amend the principal repayment terms under the Sprott Credit Agreement such that no further scheduled payments of principal shall be required prior to May 31, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) (i.e., there will be no required regular amortization payments of the facility and the full principal balance of the facility shall be due and payable in a single “bullet” payment on the Maturity Date). The consummation of the Private Placement satisfied the Required Equity Amount condition in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement.
The March 2022 Sprott Agreement also provides that, in connection with the modification of the required facility amortization payments, the Company shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to $3.3 million, with such payment to be capitalized and added to the principal amount owing under the Sprott Credit Agreement and accrue interest at the same rate and upon the same terms as the existing loans under the Sprott Credit Agreement; provided, the payment or prepayment of such capitalized principal amount shall not be subject to the Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement) or any other penalty or premium.
On March 14, 2022, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the Lender to modify the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement and other applicable loan documents. On March 30, 2022, the Company and Lender under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered into the Second A&R Agreement, which: (a) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (b) provided for the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company's receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement; (c) provided for the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022); and (d) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations to: (i) prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales were credited/offset by the $23.9 million aggregate amount of Initial Equity
40

Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments; and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash was increased to $15.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the Company made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of$10.0 million and paid in kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022 and following the execution of the Second A&R Agreement on March 30, 2022, the Company: (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest payment of $0.5 million; and (ii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million. After giving effect to such prepayments the outstanding principal balance under the Second A&R Agreement was estimated as of March 31, 2022 to be $57.9 million (before issuance discounts) including unpaid additional interest of approximately $7.1 million.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of March 31, 2022, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net profit royalty arrangement and a net smelter royalty arrangement (see Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies to the Notes to the Financial Statements).
Accounting Developments
The following accounting pronouncements were adopted by the Company during the three months ended March 31, 2022:
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies guidance on accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity including calculating diluted earnings per share. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.
In December of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the notes thereto contained elsewhereCompany adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in this Quarterly Report.Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain information containedModifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that will clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (i) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (ii) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2021-04 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

Risks that our principal stockholders will be able to exert significant influence over matters submitted to stockholders for approval.
Risks related to our common stock and warrants, including:
Volatility in the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses. We intend to effectuate our Business Combination using cash from the proceedsprice of our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds from the sale of our shares in connection with a Business Combination (pursuant to the forward purchase agreement we entered into with our sponsor or backstop agreements we may enter into in connection with our initial Business Combination), our securities, debt or a combination of cash, securities and debt.

The issuance of additional shares of common stock or preferred stock:

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, whichand warrants;
Risks related to potential dilution would increase if the anti-dilution provisions in the Class B common stock resulted in the issuance of Class A shares on a greater than one-to-one basis upon conversion of the Class B common stock;
may subordinate the rights of holders of our common stock if preferred stock is issued with rights senior to those afforded our common stock;
could cause a change in control if a substantial number of shares of our common stock is issued, which may affect, among other things, our ability to use our net operating loss carry forwards, if any, and could result in the resignation or removal of our present officers and directors;
may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change of control of us by diluting the stock ownership or voting rights of a person seeking to obtain control of us; and
may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our Class A common stock and/or warrants.

Similarly, if we issue debt securities or otherwise incur significant debt to bank or other lenders or the owners of a target, it could result in:

default and foreclosure on our assets if our operating revenues after an initial business combination are insufficient to repay our debt obligations;
acceleration of our obligations to repay the indebtedness even if we make all principal and interest payments when due if we breach certain covenants that require the maintenance of certain financial ratios or reserves without a waiver or renegotiation of that covenant;
our immediate payment of all principal and accrued interest, if any, if the debt security is payable on demand;
our inability to obtain necessary additional financing if the debt security contains covenants restricting our ability to obtain such financing while the debt security is outstanding;
our inability to pay dividends on our common stock;
using a substantial portion of our cash flow to pay principal and interest on our debt, which will reduce the funds available for dividends on our common stock if declared, our ability to pay expenses, make capital expenditures and acquisitions, and fund other general corporate purposes;
limitations on our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and in the industry in which we operate;

increased vulnerability to adverse changes in general economic, industry and competitive conditions and adverse changes in government regulation;

limitations on our ability to borrow additional amounts for expenses, capital expenditures, acquisitions, debt service requirements, and execution of our strategy; and
other purposes and other disadvantages compared to our competitors who have less debt.

We expect to continue to incur significant costs in the pursuit of our acquisition plans. We cannot assure you that our plans to raise capital or to complete a Business Combination will be successful.

Results of Operations

We have neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. Our only activities from August 28, 2017 (date of inception) through March 31, 2018 were organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the Initial Public Offering, which was consummated on February 12, 2018, and identifying a target company for a Business Combination. We do not expect to generate any operating revenues until after the completion of our Business Combination. We expect to generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cash and marketable securities held in the Trust Account. We expect to incur increased expenses as a result of future equity offerings;

Risks associated with future offerings of senior debt or equity securities;
Risks related to delisting by Nasdaq;
Risks that warrants may expire worthless and that certain warrants are being accounted for as a public company (for legal,liability;
Anti-takeover provisions could make a third-party acquisition of us difficult; and
Risks related to limited access to our financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance),disclosure, as well as for due diligence expenses.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, we had net loss of $6,732, which consists of operating costs of $105,860 and a provision for income taxes of $13,060, offset by interest income on cash and securities held in the Trust Account of $111,736 and other interest income of $452.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The completionhave elected to take advantage of the Initial Public Offeringdisclosure requirement exemptions granted to emerging growth companies and simultaneous Private Placement Warrants, inclusive of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, generated gross proceeds to the Company of $215,740,000. Related transaction costs amounted to $11,974,088, consisting of $4,160,000 of underwriting fees, $7,280,000 of deferred underwriting commissions payable (which are held in the Trust Account) and $534,088 of other costs.

As of March 31, 2018, we had cash and securities held in the Trust Account of $210,191,736, substantially all of which is invested in U.S. treasury securities money market fund. Interest income earned on the balance in the Trust Account is available to us to pay taxes.

As of March 31, 2018, we had cash of $835,631 held outside the Trust Account, which is available for use by us to cover the costs associated with identifying a target business, negotiating a Business Combination, due diligence procedures and other general corporate uses. In addition, as of March 31, 2018, we had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $50,445.

For the three months ended March 31, 2018, cash used in operating activities amounted to $153,030, mainly resulting from a net loss of $6,732 and interest earned on securities held in the Trust Account of $111,736. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities used $34,562 of cash.

We intend to use substantially all of the funds held in the Trust Account, including any amounts representing interest earned on the Trust Account (which interest shall be net of taxes payable and excluding deferred underwriting commissions) to complete our Business Combination. We may withdraw interest to pay taxes and up to $100,000 for dissolution expenses, if any. To the extent that our capital stock or debt is used, in whole or in part, as consideration to complete our Business Combination, the remaining proceeds held in the Trust Account will be used as working capital to finance the operations of the target business or businesses, make other acquisitions and pursue our growth strategies.

Our Sponsor has committed, pursuant to the Forward Purchase Contract with us, to purchase, in a private placement for gross proceeds of  $25,000,000 to occur concurrently with the consummation of a Business Combination, 2,500,000 Units on substantially the same terms as the sale of Units in Initial Public Offering at $10.00 per Unit, and 625,000 shares of Class A common stock. The funds from the sale will be used as part of the consideration to the sellers in a Business Combination; any excess funds from this private placement will be used for working capital purposes in the post-transaction company. This commitment is independent of the percentage of stockholders electing to redeem their Public Shares and provides us with a minimum funding level for a Business Combination.

We intend to use the funds held outside the Trust Account primarily to identify and evaluate target businesses, perform business due diligence on prospective target businesses, travel to and from the offices, plants or similar locations of prospective target businesses or their representatives or owners, review corporate documents and material agreements of prospective target businesses (as well as pay personnel and advisors to do the forgoing), structure, negotiate and complete a Business Combination. 

14
smaller reporting companies.

In order to fund working capital deficiencies or finance transaction costs in connection with an intended Business Combination, our Sponsor or an affiliate of our Sponsor or certain of our officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan us funds as may be required. If we complete our Business Combination, we would repay such loaned amounts. In the event that our Business Combination does not close, we may use a portion of the working capital held outside the Trust Account to repay such loaned amounts but no proceeds from our Trust Account would be used for such repayment. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans will be convertible into warrants of the post-business combination entity at a price of $1.00 per warrant at the option of the lender. The warrants would be identical to the Private Placement Warrants. No written agreements currently exist with respect to such loans.

We do not believe we will need to raise additional funds in order to meet the expenditures required for operating our business. However, if our estimates of the costs of identifying a target business, undertaking in-depth due diligence and negotiating an initial Business Combination are less than the actual amount necessary to do so, we may have insufficient funds available to operate our business prior to our Business Combination. Moreover, we may need to obtain additional financing either to complete our Business Combination or because we become obligated to redeem a significant number of our public shares upon completion of our Business Combination, in which case we may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Business Combination. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, we would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of our Business Combination. In the current economic environment, it has become especially difficult to obtain acquisition financing. If we are unable to complete our initial Business Combination because we do not have sufficient funds available to us, we will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following our initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, we may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet our obligations.

Off-balance sheet financing arrangements

We have no obligations, assets or liabilities which would be considered off-balance sheet arrangements. We do not participate in transactions that create relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, often referred to as variable interest entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements. We have not entered into any off-balance sheet financing arrangements, established any special purpose entities, guaranteed any debt or commitments of other entities, or purchased any non-financial assets.

Contractual obligations

We do not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities, other than an agreement to pay the sponsor a monthly fee of $10,000 for office space, utilities and secretarial and administrative support provided to the Company. We began incurring these fees on February 8, 2018 and will continue to incur these fees monthly until the earlier of the completion of the Business Combination or the Company’s liquidation.

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the periods reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. The Company has not identified any critical accounting policies.

Recent accounting pronouncements

Management does not believe that any recently issued, but not yet effective, accounting pronouncements, if currently adopted, would have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The net proceeds

As the Company qualifies as smaller reporting company under Item 10(f) of the Initial Public OfferingRegulation S-K, quantitative and the sale of the Private Units held in the Trust Accountqualitative disclosures about market risk are invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. Due to the short-term nature of these investments, we believe there will be no associated material exposure to interest rate risk.

not required, and such are omitted from this filing.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published consolidated financial statements. Internal control over financial reporting is promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, areas required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of March 31, 2022.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and other procedures that are designedwere effective as of March 31, 2022 to ensureprovide such reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in our reports filedwe file or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submittedsubmit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to

allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act,Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluationbelieves that any disclosure controls and procedures or internal controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must consider the benefits of controls relative to their costs. Inherent limitations within a control system include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by unauthorized override of the control. While the design of any system of controls is to provide reasonable assurance of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and procedures assuch assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of March 31, 2018. Based upon this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officerthe inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the most recently completed fiscal quarter, there has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected,may not be prevented or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None.

PROCEEDINGS
From time to time we are involved in various legal actions related to our business, some of which are class action lawsuits. We do not believe, based on currently available information, that contingencies related to any pending or threatened legal matter will have a material adverse effect on our Financial Statements, although a contingency could be material to our results of operations or cash flows for a particular period depending on our results of operations and cash flows for such period. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on us because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS.

Factors that could cause our actual resultsFACTORS

Any of these factors could resultbe included in a significant or material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition. Additional risk factors not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our business or results of operations.

The Sponsor and Cantor purchased an aggregate of 7,740,000 Private Placement Warrants (6,700,000 Private Placement Warrants by the Sponsor and 1,040,000 Private Placement Warrants by Cantor) at a price of $1.00 per warrant in private placements that occurred simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering (including the closing of the partial exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option). Each Private Placement Warrant is exercisable for one share of the Company’s Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The sale of the Private Placement Warrants was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.

Use of Proceeds

In February 2018, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering in which it sold an aggregate of 20,800,000 Units (including a partial exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option), with each Unit consisting of one share of Class A common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of Class A common stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Units in the Initial Public Offering were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per unit, generating total gross proceeds of $208,000,000, including the sale of an aggregate of 800,000 Units to cover over-allotments. The securities sold in the Initial Public Offering were registered under the Securities Act on a registration statement on Form S-1 (No. 333-222562). The SEC declared the registration statement effective on February 7, 2018.

In connection with the Initial Public Offering, the Company incurred offering costs of $11,974,088 (including an underwriting fee of $4,160,000 and deferred underwriting commissions of $7,280,000 (including fees and commissions in connection with the partial exercise of the underwriter’s overallotment option)). Other incurred offering costs consisted principally of formation and preparation fees related to the Initial Public Offering. Prior to the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Sponsor had made $242,331 in loans to the Company. The loans were non-interest bearing and payable on the earlier of March 31, 2018 or the completion of the Initial Public Offering. The loans of $242,331 were fully repaid upon the consummation of the Initial Public Offering on February 12, 2018.

After deducting the underwriting fee (excluding the deferred underwriting commission of $7,280,000, which amount will be payable upon consummation of the Business Combination, if consummated) and the Initial Public Offering expenses, the total net proceeds from our Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants was approximately $211,045,912 of which $210,080,000 (or $10.10 per Unit sold in the Initial Public Offering) was placed in the Trust Account.  As of March 31, 2018, cash held outside the Trust Account was $835,631. The net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the Private Placement Warrants are held in the Trust Account and have been invested in U.S. government treasury bills with a maturity of 180 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations.

INFORMATION

(a)Subsequent to the execution and delivery of the Second A&R Agreement, it was discovered that Sections 2.9 and 2.10 of the Sprott Credit Agreement erroneously refer to "the Maturity Date" as the date through which Additional Interest (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) is to be incurred by the Company. The actual intention and understanding of each of the parties was that Additional Interest under the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement) would only be incurred through the original maturity date, May 31, 2025. On May 3, 2022, the Company, the Lender and the other parties to the Second A&R Agreement entered into a Letter Agreement with amended Sections 2.9 and 2.10 of the Second A&R Agreement by replacing each reference to "the Maturity Date" which "May 31, 2025".
