The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the Company’s corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada.
The Company was formedrestarted 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 operated the Hycroft Mine until November 2021 when it discontinued active mining operations as a result of the then current and expected ongoing cost pressures for many of the reagents and consumables used at the Hycroft Mine and to further determine the most effective processing method for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (the “Business Combination”).

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 company for a Business Combination.transition mineralization. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until aftercontinue to build on the completion of its initial Business Combination,work and investigate opportunities identified through progressing the technical and data analyses leading up to the 2023 Hycroft TRS and will provide an updated technical report at an appropriate time.

In March 2022, the earliest. The Company will generate non-operating income in the form of interest income on cashcompleted an equity private placement and cash equivalents from the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering, as defined below.

The registration statement for the Company’s initialan at-the-market public offering program (“Initial Public Offering”ATM Program”) 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, generatingthat raised 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.

If, however, stockholder approval of the transaction is required by law, or the Company decides to obtain stockholder approval for business or legal reasons, the Company will offer to redeem shares in conjunction with a proxy solicitation pursuant to the proxy rules and not pursuant to the tender offer rules. Additionally, each public stockholder may elect to redeem their Public Shares irrespective of whether they vote for or against the proposed transaction. If the Company seeks stockholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the initial stockholders (as defined below) have agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 4) and any Public Shares held by them in favor of approving a 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”). 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.

Accordingly, effective January 1, 2023, the results to be expectedCompany began reporting amounts for the year ended December 31, 2018 or for any future interim periods.

Emerging growth company

The Company is an “emerging growth company”Mine site period costs and Depreciation and amortization as defined in Section 2(a) of the Securities Act, Operating expenses 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 complythis presentation aligns with the independent registered public accounting firm attestation requirements of Section 404 ofmanner in which the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in its periodic reportsbusiness is currently viewed 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,managed while the Company as an emerging growth company, can adoptconducts activities for developing the new or revised standard at the time private companies adopt the new or revised standard. This may make comparisonHycroft Mine and recommencing mining operations.

Use of estimates
The preparation 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.

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAPFinancial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these Financial Statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the reported amountsuse of management estimates and assumptions relate to: 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 long-lived assets, assets held for sale, and liabilitiesfinancial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and disclosure of contingent assetsother assumptions, including drilling and liabilitiesassay data, that are believed to be reasonable at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible thattime the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these Financial Statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these Financial Statements may not be indicative of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstancesresults that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or moremay be expected for future confirming events. Accordingly, the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Common stock subject to possible redemption

The Company accounts for its common stock subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"(“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 changes the way entities measure credit losses for most financial assets and certain other instruments that are not measured at fair value through net income. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2023, with no impact on its Financial Statements or the related disclosures as all outstanding Accounts receivable have been collected.
In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments—Credit Losses; Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging; and Topic 825, Financial Instruments (“ASU 2019-04”). ASU 2019-04 clarifies certain aspects of accounting for credit losses, hedging activities, and financial instruments. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after January 1, 2023. The Company adopted ASU 2019-04 as of January 1, 2023, with no impact on its Financial Statements or the related disclosures as all outstanding Accounts receivable have been collected and as such, there is no need to assess allowance for doubtful accounts.
New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted
In March of 2022, the FASB issued ASU 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities to Contractual Sale Restrictions (“ASU 2022-03”).

Performance and Incentive Pay Plan (“PIPP”)
On June 2, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the PIPP that increased the number of authorized shares of common stock available for issuance by 12.0 million shares of common stock. As a result, 14,508,002 shares are authorized for issuance under the PIPP. As of March 31, 2023, all awards granted under the PIPP were in the form of restricted stock units to employees, directors, or consultants of the Company. As of March 31, 2023, there were 9,515,090 shares available for issuance under the PIPP.
For restricted stock units granted prior to August 2020, a price per share was not determined upon the grant date.

Such unvested restricted stock unit awards were included in Other liabilities until each vesting date when the amount was transferred to Additional paid-in capital. As of March 31, 2023, there were no remaining restricted stock unit grants outstanding required to be accounted for as Other liabilities. Prior to each vesting date, the Company estimated the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting using the closing share price of its common stock on the last day of each reporting period as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market.

The following table summarizes the Company’s unvested share awards outstanding under the PIPP:

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 on deferredCompany incurred no net income tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that included the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized.

FASB ASC 740 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attributeexpense or benefit 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 ofthree months ended March 31, 20182023 and December 31, 2017.2022. 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. As a result of Tax Reform, the U.S. statutoryeffective tax rate for both the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was loweredNil. The effective tax rate differed from 35%the statutory rate during each period primarily due to 21% effective January 1, 2018, among other changes.

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss)loss for the period by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. The Company has not considered the effect of warrants sold in the Initial Public Offering and Private Placement to purchase 28,540,000 shares of Class A common stock in the calculation of diluted income (loss) per share, since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events and the inclusion of such warrants would be anti-dilutive.

The Company’s statement of operations includes a presentation of income (loss) per share for common shares subject to redemption in a manner similar 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, 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 withoutstanding during 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 addedperiod.

Due 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. Fornet loss during the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company incurred $20,000 of administrative service fees.

5. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

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),2023 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.

Forward Purchase Contract

On January 24, 2018, the Company entered into a forward purchase contract (the “Forward Purchase Contract”) with the Sponsor, pursuant to which the Sponsor committed 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 (the “Forward 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 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.

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 pricetables 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 fromsummarize the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with the respect to such warrants. Accordingly, the warrants may expire worthless.

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.

5-Year Private Warrants2133 786 
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

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
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.
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, 20182023 and December 31, 2017, and indicates2022, the fair value hierarchy of the valuation inputsCompany’s debt instruments was $132.9 million and $130.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $137.4 million and $135.0 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, 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, 2023 balances.

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.
Financial commitments and contingencies not recorded in the Financial Statements
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net smelter royalty arrangement and a net profit royalty arrangement.
Crofoot Royalty
A portion of the Hycroft Mine is subject to a 4% net profit royalty be paid to the previous owner of certain patented and unpatented mining claims (“Crofoot Royalty”). 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 ceased mining operations in November 2021, the Company was not required to pay the annual advance payment of $120,000 in 2022 or 2023. The total payments due under the mining lease are capped at $7.6 million, of which the Company has paid or accrued $3.1 million and included $0.6 million in Prepaids in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2023.
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 the 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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the estimated net present value of the Company’s net smelter royalty was $146.7 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.
21. Related Party Transaction
As of March 31, 2023, each of Ausenco Engineering South USA, Inc. (“Ausenco”) and AMC was considered a related party. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer is currently a non-executive director for Ausenco’s parent company Board of Directors. Additionally, an AMC representative serves on the Company’s Board of Directors. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company paid an aggregate of $0.1 million, to Ausenco and AMC for the preparation of the 2023 Hycroft TRS and directors fees, respectively. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company paid $1.0 million to Ausenco for work performed on preparing an Acid POX milling technical study. As of March 31, 2023, AMC is entitled to receive 61,189 shares of common stock upon the future vesting of restricted stock units.
Certain amounts of the Company’s indebtednesshave historically, and with regard to the $80.0 million of Subordinated Notes, been held by five financial institutions. As of March 31, 2023, none of the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review,institutions held more than 10% of the common stock of the Company. As of March 31, 2022, one of the financial institutions, Mudrick, held more than 10% of the common stock of the Company did not identify any subsequent events that would have required adjustment or disclosureand, as a result, was considered a related party in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. For the financial statements.

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 April 28, 2023, provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and analysisunderstanding of the Company’sour consolidated operating results and financial condition and results of operationscondition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our other reports filed with the financial statementsSEC as well as our Financial Statements and the notes thereto contained elsewhere(the “Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report. CertainReport on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Terms not defined herein have the same meaning defined in the Financial Statements and the Notes.
Introduction to the Company
We are a U.S.-based gold and silver exploration and development company that owns the Hycroft Mine is Nevada, USA. We are focused on exploring the Hycroft Mine’s mining claims comprising approximately 64,085 acres and developing the Hycroft Mine in a 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. We ceased mining activities in November 2021, and completed processing of gold and silver ore previously placed on leach pads as of December 31, 2022. We do not expect to generate revenues from gold and silver sales until after developing the Hycroft Mine and recommencing mining operations.
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 2023, 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 2023, we continued our critical focus on safety, including allocating additional personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications to mine safety. These actions contributed to maintaining our TRIFR of Nil (0.00) at March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. We will continue our safety efforts to reach the level of safety we expect and need to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.
Executive Summary
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we continued to analyze drill assay data and information received during Phase 1 of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program involving reverse circulation (“RC”) and core drilling that began in the third quarter of 2022. The Company expects to begin Phase 2 of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program during the second quarter of 2023.
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 and milling with atmospheric alkaline oxidation or POX, the Company, working closely with its industry leading technical consultants, completed pit optimization runs and trade-off analyses comparing the alternative processes that reflected that a POX process has significantly better economics than other processes studied. The POX process included in the 2023 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.
Recent Developments
2022-2023 Exploration Drill Program
In July 2022, the Company launched its 2022-2023 exploration drill program that is the largest exploration program at the Hycroft Mine in nearly a decade. The 2022-2023 exploration drill program comprises approximately 30,000 meters of RC drilling and 7,500 meters of core drilling. The overall focus of the 2022-2023 exploration drill program is to improve the understanding of the higher-grade intercepts identified during the 2021 drill program, better understand the mineralization
22

controls, test exploration targets outside the currently known deposits, and develop opportunities to mine higher-grade ore early in the mine plan enhancing the project’s economics.
Finalized Initial Assessment Technical Report
The Company, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the 2023 Hycroft TRS with an effective date of March 27, 2023. The 2023 Hycroft TRS included a mineral resource estimate for the Hycroft Mine. The 2023 Hycroft TRS included measured and indicated mineral resources of 10.6 million ounces of gold and 360.7 million ounces of silver (15.2 million gold equivalent ounces) and inferred mineral resources of 3.4 million ounces of gold and 96.1 million ounces of silver (4.6 million gold equivalent ounces), that are contained in oxide, transitional, and sulfide ores. For this study, IMC developed the discussionHycroft Mine resource block model that includes 1981 to 2022 data generated from 5,601 holes, representing 2,588,826 feet of drilling. The mineral resources were estimated based upon results of the 2023 Hycroft TRS, as determined in accordance with the requirements of the Modernization Rules.
Metallurgical and analysisVariability Test Work
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company continued the metallurgical and variability test work necessary for designing a sulfide milling operation. This work will establish: (i) a comprehensive and current understanding of how each geologic domain will perform during operations; and (ii) the processing components and reagents required to optimize gold and silver recoveries. The Company is working with consultants to complete this work and expects to receive all test results in the second quarter of 2023. These results, and results from the 2022-2023 exploration drill program, will be used for designing the mine plan, the type and size of the mill circuit configuration, and the ore haul truck size specifications, among other engineering requirements.
2023 Outlook
The Company’s current plan is to: (i) operate safely as the Company undertakes Phase 2 of its 2022-2023 exploration drill program; (ii) complete the metallurgical test work associated with the 2021 drill program and variability test work program; (iii) complete the evaluation of results from Phase 1 of the Company’s 2022-2023 exploration drill program; and (iv) advance the POX process development for gold and silver extraction from sulfide ores.

Silver ounces sold— 10,934 
Average realized price (per ounce)$— $23.78 
During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company completed processing of gold and silver ore previously placed on leach pads prior to ceasing mining operations in 2021. As a result, the Company does not expect to generate revenues from gold and silver sales until after developing the Hycroft Mine and recommencing mining operations.
Production costs
For the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized Nil in Production costs, compared to $9.6 million, or $2,008 per ounce of gold, sold during the same period of 2022. As the Company did not generate revenue during the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not have Production costs or Cost of sales. The Company does not expect to incur Production costs related to Cost of sales until after it begins generating revenue, as discussed above.
Mine site period costs
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recorded $3.8 million of Mine site period costs for costs related to maintaining and operating the Hycroft Mine, including environmental, maintenance and administration costs. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began reporting amounts for Mine site period costs as Operating Expenses as this presentation aligns with how the business will be viewed and managed until such time that the Company develops the Hycroft Mine and recommences mining operations.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recorded $6.5 million of Mine site period costs that were included in Cost of sales. Such period costs were 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 were 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.
Projects, exploration, and development
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, Projects, exploration, and development costs totaled $3.5 million compared to $1.0 million for the same period of 2022. Projects, exploration, and development costswere 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 $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023 was the result of the Company’s exploration drill program that was initiated in July 2022. There was no comparable exploration drill program during the 2022 period.
General and administrative
General and administrative totaled $3.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $3.1 million during the same period of 2022. The increase of $0.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was primarily due to increases in salary and compensation costs of $0.4 million due to an increase in staffing. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in consulting and legal fees of $0.2 million.
24


Depreciation and amortization
Depreciation and amortization was $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $0.9 million during the same period of 2022. The decrease in total depreciation and amortization costs was largely due to the cessation of depreciation of the test leach pads in July 2022 as they were fully depreciated.
Effective January 1, 2023, the Company began reporting amounts for Depreciation and amortization as Operating Expenses as this presentation aligns with how the business will be viewed and managed until such time that the Company develops the Hycroft Mine and recommences mining operations. Prior to January 1, 2023, Depreciation and amortization was presented as Cost of sales.
Interest expense
As discussed in Note 8 – Debt, Net in the Notes to the Financial Statements, Interest expense totaled $4.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, compared to $5.3 million during the same period in 2022. The decrease of $0.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2023, was the result of a decrease in the outstanding obligation for the Sprott Credit Agreement as the Company prepaid portions of the balance in March 2022 and November 2022. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the floating interest rate and an increase in the balance outstanding on the Subordinated Notes at March 31, 2023 as compared to the same period in 2022. The higher outstanding balance for the Subordinated Notes was due to quarterly interest payments that are paid in-kind as additional indebtedness.
Interest income
Interest income totaled $1.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. In July 2022, the Company invested a portion of its cash balances in AAAm rated U.S. Government Money Market Funds that are readily convertible to cash. These investments earned the Company $1.5 million in interest during the three months ended March 31, 2023. In addition, the Company earned $0.3 million on its Restricted cash and $0.1 millionfrom the Equipment Purchase Agreement related to Assets held for sale during the three months ended March 31, 2023. The Company began earning interest on its investment accounts and Restricted cash accounts in July 2022.
Fair value adjustments to warrants
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of $0.1 million, that was primarily due to a decrease in the underlying trading price of the Company’s common stock.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash loss of $5.3 million, that was primarily due to an increase in the underlying trading price of the Company’s common stock.
Income taxes
The Company incurred no net income tax expense or benefit for either the three months ended March 31, 2023 or 2022.
For additional details, see Note 15 – Income Taxes in the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
The Company’s Cash and cash equivalents at March 31, 2023, was $132.0 million as compared with $142.0 million at December 31, 2022. As discussed in Note 12 – 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 AMC 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. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company 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.
As the Company completed recovering gold and silver ounces previously placed on the leach pad in 2022, 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. 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. If funds are not available, the Company may be required to materially change its business plan.
The Company’s future liquidity and capital resources management strategy entails a disciplined approach to monitor the timing and extent of any drilling, metallurgical and mineralogical studies 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; (ii) ceasing open pit mining operations to reduce net cash outflows; (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; (vii) planning the timing and amounts of capital expenditures and costs for drilling, metallurgical and technical studies costs at the Hycroft Mine; and (viii) deferring such items that are not expected to benefit our near term operating plans. The Company has undertaken and continues to undertake additional efforts including: (i) monetizing non-core equipment and excess materials and supplies inventories; (ii) selling uninstalled mills that are not expected to be needed for a future milling operation; and (iii) working with existing debt holders to adjust debt service requirements.
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.
Cash and liquidity

(1)Under the Sprott Royalty Agreement, the Company is required to pay a perpetual royalty equal to 1.5% of the Net Smelter Returns from the Hycroft Mine, payable monthly that also includes an additional amount for withholding taxes payable by the royalty holder. Amounts presented above incorporate mineral resource estimates as reported in the 2023 Hycroft TRS and are based on consensus pricing for gold and silver as of March 31, 2023.
(2)Mining operations are subject to extensive environmental regulations in the jurisdictions in which they are conducted, and we are required, upon cessation of operations, to reclaim and remediate the lands that our operations have disturbed. The estimated undiscounted inflated cash outflows of these remediation and reclamation obligations are reflected here. In the above presentation, no offset has been applied for the $58.3 million of our reclamation bonds or for the $34.3 million of cash collateral for those bonds included in Restricted Cash.
(3)Repayments of principal on debt consists of amounts due under the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement), the Subordinated Notes and notes payable for equipment purchases. Included in the repayment of the Subordinated Notes principal is interest that has been capitalized as payable in-kind on a quarterly basis, and on a monthly basis for the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement) for the first 12 months after the initial advance. Also included in the repayment of the Sprott Credit Agreement is the $3.3 million fee that has been capitalized as payable in-kind in connection with the Second A&R Agreement. See Note 8 – Debt, Net in the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.
(4)The Company is required to pay a 4% net profit royalty, including advance royalty payments of $120,000 in any year where mining occurs on the Crofoot claims and an additional $120,000 if tons mined from the Crofoot claim blocks exceed 5.0 million tons. See Note 20 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information. Amounts shown represent the current estimates of cash payment timing using consensus pricing for gold and silver.
(5)Additional interest payments consist of repayments of additional interest under the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement), commencing February 28, 2021 (with the first cash payment due three months after such date) and ending on May 31, 2025. See Note 8 – Debt, Net in the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

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 $15.0 million, 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, 2023, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt agreements.
On March 9, 2023, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Waiver and Amendment”), by and between the Company and Lender.
Pursuant to the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement, the Company agreed that while any indebtedness is outstanding under the Sprott Credit Agreement or while the credit facility under the Sprott Credit Agreement remains available to the Company, the Company and guarantors under the Sprott Credit Agreement would not undertake certain corporate actions without the Lender’s prior written consent.
As disclosed in the Company’s preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A, as filed with the SEC on March 9, 2023, the Company expects to ask its stockholders to approve, at the Company’s upcoming annual meeting of stockholders, the amendment of the Company’s second amended and restated certificate of incorporation (the “Certificate of Incorporation”) to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, at a ratio of no less than 1-for-10 and no more than 1-for-25, with such ratio to be determined at the sole discretion of the Board (the “Reverse Stock Split”). Pursuant to the terms of the Waiver and Amendment, Lender agreed to waive certain provisions of the Sprott Credit Agreement so that the Company may effectuate the proposed Reverse Stock Split of the Company’s common stock, including amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation necessary to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split, assuming stockholders approve the Reverse Stock Split. The Reverse Stock Split will not be effectuated unless and until (i) amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split is approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast by stockholders present and in person (virtually) or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter; and (ii) an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation to effectuate the Reverse Stock Split is filed with the Delaware Secretary of State. The Board of Directors of the Company also may determine in its discretion to abandon such an amendment, and not effectuate the Reverse Stock Split. Except as set forth below includes forward-lookingin the Waiver and Amendment, the Sprott Credit Agreement remains in full force and effect.
Off-balance sheet arrangements
As of March 31, 2023, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net profit royalty arrangement and a net smelter royalty arrangement (see Note 20 – Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes to the Financial Statements).

Overview

We areequity offerings;

Risks relating to a blank check company incorporated on August 28, 2017short “squeeze” resulting in Delaware and formedsudden increases in demand for 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 proceeds of our Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, the proceeds from the sale of our shares in connection with a Business Combination (pursuantCompany’s common stock;
Risks relating 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 combinationCompany’s proposed reverse stock split;
Risks relating to decreased liquidity of cash, securities and debt.

The issuance of additional shares ofthe Company’s common stock or preferred stock:

may significantly dilute the equity interest of investors, which 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 being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), 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, offsetproposed reverse stock split;

Risks relating to information published by third parties about the Company that may not be reliable or accurate;
Risks associated with interest income on cash and securities heldrate changes;
Volatility in the Trust Account of $111,736 and other interest income of $452.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The completionprice of the Initial Public Offering and simultaneous Private Placement Warrants, inclusiveCompany’s common stock could subject us to securities litigation;

Risks associated with the Company’s current plan not to pay dividends;
Risks associated with future offerings of senior debt or equity securities;
Risks related to a potential delisting by Nasdaq;
Risks that warrants may expire worthless;
Risks that certain warrants are being accounted for as a liability;
Anti-takeover provisions could make a third-party acquisition of the underwriters’ partial exercise of their over-allotment option, generated gross proceedsCompany difficult; and
Risks related to the Company of $215,740,000. Related transaction costs amountedlimited access 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

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.

information due to the fact the Company elected to take advantage of the disclosure requirement exemptions granted to emerging growth companies and smaller reporting companies.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

The net proceeds

As the Company qualifies as a 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 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
31

misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
The Company’s 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, 2023.
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, 2023 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.

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.

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

None.

PROCEEDINGS
From time to time the Company may be involved in various legal actions related to our business, some of which are class action lawsuits. The Company does not believe, based on currently available information, that contingencies related to any pending or threatened legal matter will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, although a contingency could be material to the Company’s results of operations or cash flows for a particular period depending on its results of operations and cash flows for such period. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have a material adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.
Warrant Holder Litigation
On January 10, 2023, Plaintiff Travus Pope (“Plaintiff”) filed a complaint (the “Complaint”) in the Delaware Chancery Court (the “Court”) against the Company. The Complaint included two claims: (i) breach of contract; and (ii) declaratory relief. Plaintiff challenges the method by which the Company calculated mechanical adjustments to his 16 expired warrants. The Company believes Plaintiff’s Complaint is without merit. On January 30, 2023, the Company filed its Motion to Dismiss the Complaint. On February 14, 2023, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint, wherein Plaintiff listed additional alleged facts, but did not add additional claims for relief, maintaining the breach of contract and declaratory claims for relief. The Company believes Plaintiff’s amended Complaint is without merit. On February 28, 2023, the Company filed its Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint. Currently, the Company is awaiting the Court’s briefing schedule to be issued in order that the Company’s Motion to Dismiss can be fully briefed.
DGCL Section 205 Action
On April 3, 2023, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery (the “Court of Chancery”) pursuant to Section 205 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), seeking validation of amendments to the Company’s certificate of incorporation increasing the authorized shares of Class A common stock of the Company (as further described below).
At a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company held on May 29, 2020 (the “2020 Special Meeting”), a majority of the then-outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A common stock and Class B common stock, voting as a single class, voted to approve the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which, among other things,
32

increased the authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from 100,000,000 to 400,000,000 (the “First Authorized Share Charter Amendment”). On March 15, 2022, the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Class A common stock delivered to the Company written consents approving an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, which increased the authorized shares of the Company’s Class A common stock from 400,000,000 to 1,400,000,000 (the “Second Authorized Share Charter Amendment” and, together with the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment, the “Charter Amendments”).
A recent decision of the Court of Chancery had created uncertainty regarding the validity of the Charter Amendments and whether a separate vote of the majority of the then-outstanding shares of Class A common stock would have been required under Section 242(b)(2) of the DGCL for the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment. Further, in reliance on the validity of the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment and the Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company filed the Second Authorized Share Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware.
The Company continues to believe that a separate vote of Class A common stock was not required to approve the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment. However, in light of the recent Court of Chancery decision, the Company filed a petition (the “Petition”) in the Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 205 of the DGCL (i) seeking validation of the Charter Amendments to resolve any uncertainty with respect thereto; and (ii) declaring that all shares of Class A common stock, and other securities that are convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Class A common stock, issued in reliance on the Charter Amendments are valid and effective (the “Section 205 Action”). Section 205 of the DGCL permits the Court of Chancery, in its discretion, to validate potentially defective corporate acts and stock after considering a variety of factors. The Section 205 Action filed by the Company in the Court of Chancery is captioned In re Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, C.A. No. 2023-0394-LWW (Del. Ch.). The same day the Section 205 Action was filed, the Company also moved that the Court of Chancery’s consideration of the Section 205 Action be expedited.
On April 24, 2023, the Court of Chancery held a hearing to consider the merits of the Petition, and granted an order pursuant to Section 205 of the DGCL validating and declaring effective (i) the stockholder vote at the 2020 Special Meeting approving the First Authorized Share Charter Amendment; (ii) the Charter Amendments; and (ii) the shares issued or to be issued in reliance thereon, each as of the date and time of the original issuance of such shares.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS.

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.
