The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the Company’s corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada.
The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and began producing and selling gold and silver during the third quarter of 2019. The Company’s operating planCompany operated the Hycroft Mine until November 2021 was primarily focused on developing the novel two-stage heap oxidation and leach process (“Novel Process”) detailed in the Hycroft Technical Report Summary (“TRS”), Heap Leaching Feasibility Study, prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Modernization of Property Disclosures for Mining Registrants (“Modernization Rules”), with an effective date of July 31, 2019 (“2019 Hycroft TRS”). Subsequent to November 2021, the Company’s operating plan has been focused on advancing evaluations and developing technical studies for milling sulfide ore through a well-established and proven pressure oxidation process (“POX”). Additionally, as announced on November 10, 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 timelinemost effective processing method for completing the updated technical studies in early 2022,sulfide ore. In March 2023, the Company, discontinued pre-commercial scale mining at its run-of-mine (“ROM”) operation. The Company will continue producing gold and silver from the drain down solutions as long as it is economic which is currently expected to continue through the end of 2022. In February 2022, Hycroft, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Hycroft Property Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary for the Hycroft MineHumboldt and Pershing Counties, Nevada (“20222023 Hycroft TRS”) whichthat included a mineral resource estimate utilizing a POXpressure oxidation (“POX”) process for sulfide mineralization and heap leaching process for oxide and transition mineralization. The Company will continue to build on the work to date and investigate opportunities identified through progressing the technical and data analyses leading up to the 20222023 Hycroft TRS and will provide an updated technical report at an appropriate time.
In the first quarter ofMarch 2022, the Company completed an equity private placement and an at-the-market public offering program (“ATM Program”) that raised gross proceeds of $194.4 million before issuance costs. The Company planshas used and will continue to use a portion of the proceeds from these equity offerings to conduct additional exploration that willwith a focus on the higher-grade opportunities identified during 2021 exploration drilling and a systematic approach to develop a better understanding of the Hycroft Mine deposit, including potential feeder systems.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
While the Company has continued to process gold and silver ore on the leach pads and in the drain down solutions to partially offset the cash that is projected to be used in its operations and investing activities, the Company does not expect to generate net positive cash from operations for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to fund its business. As discussed in Note 14 - Stockholders’ Equity, the Company raised gross proceeds of $194.4 million in March 2022 through the following equity financings:
•On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”) and 2176423 Ontario Limited, an entity affiliated with Eric Sprott, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell an aggregate of 46,816,480 units at a purchase price of $1.193 per unit for total gross proceeds, before deduction of fees and expenses, of $55.9 million.
•On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an ATM pursuant to which the Company    registered the offer and sale from time to time of its common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $500.0 million of gross proceeds. Under the ATM Program, which was completed on March 25, 2022, the Company sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock for gross proceeds, before commissions and offering expenses, of $138.6 million.
Also, as discussed in Note 10 - Debt, Net, as a result of the equity financings above, the Company reached an agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP (the “Lender”) with respect to the Credit Agreement among Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, as borrower, Autar Gold Corporation, MUDS, MUDS Holdco Inc., Allied VGH LLC, Hycroft Resources and Development, LLC, Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector) Inc., and Sprott Resources Lending Corp. (“Sprott Credit Agreement”), which required the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million following the Company’s receipt of the $55.9 million cash proceeds discussed above. The Company also made an additional prepayment of $13.9 million on March 30, 2022.
In addition to the above equity financings, the Company will continue to evaluate alternatives to raise additional capital necessary to fund the future exploration and development of the Hycroft Mine and will continue to explore other strategic initiatives to enhance stockholder value.
Historically, the Company has been dependent on various forms of debt and equity financing to fund its business. While the Company has been successful in the past raising funds through equity and debt financings, no assurance can be given that additional financing will be available to it in amounts sufficient to meet the Company’s needs or on terms acceptable to the Company. In the event that funds are not available, the Company may be required to materially change its business plans.
Use of estimates
The preparation of the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statementsFinancial Statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statementsFinancial Statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to: recoverable gold and silver ounces on leach pads and in-process inventories; timing of near-term ounce production and related sales; the useful lives of long-lived assets; estimates of mineral resources; estimates of life-of-mine production timing, volumes, costs and prices; future mining and current and future processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; deferred taxes and related valuation allowances; estimates of the fair value of liability classified warrants,warrants; and estimates of fair value for asset impairmentslong-lived assets, assets held for sale, and financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions, including drilling and assay data, that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these condensed consolidated financial statements,Financial Statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements areFinancial Statements may not be indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.
Cash and cash equivalents
During the third quarter of 2022, the Company invested in the AAAm rated US Government Money Market Funds that are readily convertible to cash and, as such, the Company has included them in Cash and cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2021, cash consisted of cash balances. The Company has not experienced any losses on cash balances and believes that no significant risk of loss exists with respect to its cash.

The Note Amendment also removed the requirements that a holder receive the consent of the Company and the other holders in order to transfer any Subordinated Note. The Amending Holders constituted all of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Note Amendment became effective upon the closing of a private placement upon receipt of $55.9 million gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses). The Company accounted for the Note Amendment as a debt modification as the Note Amendment did not result in debt that was substantially different. The Company incurred a $1.8 million liability management fee attributable to the completion of the Note Amendment. As the Note Amendment was accounted for as a debt modification, the $1.8 million paid to a third-party was charged to General and administrative.

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

Performance and Incentive Pay Plan (“PIPP”)
On June 2, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the PIPP whichthat 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 September 30, 2022,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 September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, there were 9,452,2679,515,090 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. The number of shares of common stock of the Company to be issued upon vesting was calculated on the vesting date, whichthat was either the second or third anniversary of the date of the grant, or the annual date the compensation committee determined the achievement of the corporate performance targets. 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 September 30, 2022,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.

17.15. Income Taxes
The Company’s anticipated annual tax rate is impacted primarily by the amount of taxable income associated with each jurisdiction in which its income is subject to income tax and permanent differences between the financial statement carrying

amounts and tax basis of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled.
Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) imposes limitations on the use of U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) upon a more than 50% change in ownership in the Company (as defined in the IRC) within a three-year period. In connection with its at-the-market equity offering, the Company underwent a Section 382 ownership change on March 25, 2022. As a result, utilization of the Company’s net operating losses and certain unrealized losses are limited on an annual basis. If the Section 382 annual limitation amount is not fully utilized in a particular tax year, then the unused portion from that tax year is added to the Section 382 annual limitation in subsequent years. The Company’s annual limitation under Section 382 is approximately $1.3 million.
The Company incurred no net income tax expense or benefit for the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million for discrete items related estimated tax payments submitted prior to the Recapitalization Transaction. The effective tax rate for both the three and nine months ended September 30,March 31, 2023 and 2022 was nil. The effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and 2020, was 0.2% and 0.0%, respectively.Nil. The effective tax rate differed from the statutory rate during each period primarily due to changes in the valuation allowance established to offset net deferred tax assets.

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.
Seller Warrants
The Seller Warrant Agreement contains certain terms and features to reduce the exercise price and increase the number of shares of common stock each warrant is exercisable into. As a result, Seller Warrants were considered derivative financial instruments and carried at fair value. The fair value of Seller Warrants was computed by an independent third-party consultant (and validated by the Company) using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model that requires a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, exercise prices, equity volatility and discount rates. The Company updated the fair value calculation on at least an annual basis, or more frequently if changes in circumstances and assumptions indicate a change from the existing carrying value. As of October 22, 2022 the Seller Warrants expired pursuant to their terms and are no longer exercisable or outstanding.
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 September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021,2022, the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments was $126.4$132.9 million and $162.8$130.7 million, respectively, compared to the carrying value of $144.8$137.4 million and $160.3$135.0 million as of September 30, 2021March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2020,2022, 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 September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 balances.

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”)SEC as well as our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (the “Financial Statements”) and the notes thereto (the “Notes”) included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.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 71,00064,085 acres and developing our wholly ownedthe Hycroft Mine in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. Gold and silver sales represent 100% of our revenuesRevenues and the market prices of gold and silver significantly impact our financial position, operating results, and cash flows. The Hycroft Mine is locatedWe ceased mining activities in the StateNovember 2021, and completed processing of Nevada and the corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada. In February 2022, we filed the Technical Report Summary of Initial Assessment on the Hycroft Mine (“2022 Hycroft TRS”) which contemplates processing gold and silver ore using millingpreviously placed on leach pads as of December 31, 2022. We do not expect to generate revenues from gold and pressure oxidation to process sulfidesilver sales until after developing the Hycroft Mine and transitional ore along with heap leaching to process oxide ore.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 ninethree months of 2022,2023, 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 ninethree months of 2022,2023, we continued our critical focus on safety, including allocating additional personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications to mine safety. These actions contributed to a reduction inmaintaining our TRIFR to approximately 0.26of Nil (0.00) at September 30, 2022, compared with approximately 0.64 atMarch 31, 2023 and December 31, 2021, an approximate 59% reduction.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 ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, we continued recovering goldto analyze drill assay data and silver from ore previously placed oninformation received during Phase 1 of the leach pads and, in August 2022, determined that it was no longer economic to continue to apply cyanide solution to the leach pads. As a result, we expect to continue recovering gold and silver ounces from the drain down solutions through the end of 2022 with immaterial residual recovery of ounces through the first quarter of 2023. When the operation was re-started in 2019, mining oxide and transition ore allowed the Company to pre-strip overburden with some revenue offset to gain access to commercial scale sulfide mineralization. With the change to a milling operation, there is ample time to align the remaining pre-stripping with the start-up of commercial scale sulfide operations. We believe that this action will conserve cash and focus the Company’s time and resources on additional2022-2023 exploration programs and technical studies for processing the Company’s sulfide ore. The 2021 drill program concluded in the first quarter of 2022, and metallurgical analysis and variability test work is expected to continue through the first quarter of 2023. The 2022-2023 exploration 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 including the Novel Process, and milling with atmospheric alkaline oxidation or alkaline pressure oxidation (“POX”),POX, the Company, working closely with its industry leading technical consultants, completed pit optimization runs and trade-off analyses comparing the alternative processes whichthat reflected that an Acida POX process has significantly better economics than other processes studied. Therefore, the Company focused its study efforts and resources solely on the Acid POX Initial Assessment which was prepared by Ausenco, with an effective date of February 18,

Project Update
2022-2023 Exploration Drill Program
In July 2022, the Company initiated the 2022 -2023launched its 2022-2023 exploration drill program whichthat is the largest exploration program at the Hycroft Mine in nearly a decade. The Company’s2022-2023 exploration drill program comprises approximately 30,000 meters of RC drilling and 7,500 meters of core drilling. The overall focus duringof the three months ended September 30, 2022 was2022-2023 exploration drill program is to follow up onimprove the understanding of the higher-grade opportunitiesintercepts identified during the 2021 drill program, to help the Company better understand the mineralization

controls, test exploration targets outside the currently known deposits, and develop opportunities to mineralization. Since initiation, and through September 30, 2022, the Company has completed approximately 41,000 feet of reverse circulation RC drilling and approximately 2,300 feet of core drilling. The Company’s observations as well as the assay results received to-date have helped establish continuitymine higher-grade ore early in the higher-grade zones withinmine plan enhancing the Vortex and Brimstone areas. These results will be used to further identify targets in upcoming drilling.

Additionally, the Company initiated targeted infill drilling within the existing deposits where there is limited drilling. Based on the geology and surrounding drill results, the Company is optimistic that the additional limited drilling could convert material currently modeled as waste to an ore classification in the resource model. This would reduce the strip ratio, haulage costs, and equipment costs, and increase revenue in the ongoing engineering and design work. Furthermore, based upon the results of the additional infill drilling, inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to higher resources classifications inside and adjacent to the current pit limits.project’s economics.
Finalized Initial Assessment Technical Report
The Company, along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the 20222023 Hycroft TRS with an effective date of February 18, 2022.March 27, 2023. The 20222023 Hycroft TRS included an updateda mineral resource estimate for the Hycroft Mine. The 20222023 Hycroft TRS included measured and indicated mineral resources of 9.610.6 million ounces of gold and 446.0360.7 million ounces of silver (15.5(15.2 million gold equivalent ounces) and inferred mineral resources of 5.03.4 million ounces of gold and 150.496.1 million ounces of silver (6.9(4.6 million gold equivalent ounces), whichthat are contained in oxide, transitional, and sulfide ores.
For this study, Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. (“IMC”)IMC developed the Hycroft Mine resource block model whichthat includes 1981 to 20182022 data from generated from 5,5015,601 holes, representing 2,482,7222,588,826 feet of drilling. The current inflationary environment and change in processing technique has resulted in increased cost assumptions and an associated higher cut-off grade partially mitigated by higher recoveries leading to a change in the mineral resource estimate, when compared with the prior model.
The mineral resources were estimated based upon results of the 20222023 Hycroft TRS, as determined in accordance with the requirements of the Modernization Rules.
Update of silver assay data in the resource model
After completing the 2022 Hycroft TRS, the Company announced that a significant portion of historical drilling in the database does not include assay information for silver. With silver currently estimated to contribute 40-50% of the potential value at the Hycroft Mine under the milling process, this information is a key factor in the overall understanding of the mineral resource. The Company’s efforts are ongoing, and to date, the Company has reduced the number of samples missing silver fire assay data to approximately 28% after locating historical assay data not previously included in the block model. The remaining missing samples are scattered throughout the overall ore body. The Company also located a small portion of the pulps from historical drilling which were sent to an independent lab to re-analyze the missing silver fire assay values. These pulps relate to one hole and portions of nine other holes. The results from these pulps have been returned and are undergoing evaluation. The pulps represent a small portion of the outstanding missing silver information. As a result, the Company plans to complete targeted infill drilling during the 2022 - 2023 drill program allowing the Company to fill in the missing silver information as the Company does not expect to locate additional historical data to inform the block model. As the Company completes the planned infill drilling and updates the block model, more drilling may be required. As a result, the Company cannot determine the impact of the missing silver assay data on the block model until further information from the infill drilling is received.

2021 Drill ProgramMetallurgical and Variability Test Work
During the ninethree months ended September 30, 2022,March 31, 2023, the Company receivedcontinued the remaining results from samples previously submitted for the variability test program. These results finalized the grinding characteristics of the various ore types at the Hycroft Mine which are consistent with the processing assumptions used in the 2022 Hycroft TRS. The Company continues to provide additional flotation samples for the remainingmetallurgical and variability test work thatnecessary 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 designedworking with consultants to determine key process characteristics including flotationcomplete this work and POX reagent consumption, mass pull, and sulfide sulfur levels. Thisexpects to receive all test work is expected to be completedresults in the firstsecond quarter of 2023,2023. 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 results will be incorporated into the overall design of the milling process flow sheet.
Strengthened balance sheet
During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company completed the following debt and equity activities (discussed in further detail below) that strengthened the Company’s balance sheet:
•Raised gross cash proceeds of $194.4 million through a $55.9 million private placement offering and $138.6 million in an at-the-market equity offering program, before deductions of commissions, fees, and expenses.
•Amended and restated the Sprott Credit Agreement and made a prepayment of $23.9 million as required under the amended agreement.
•Amended the Subordinated Notes to extend the debt maturity by two years to December 1, 2027 with continuing 10% interest payable in-kind.
Private Placement
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements” and each a “Subscription Agreement”) with each of American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”) and 2176423 Ontario Limited, an entity affiliated with Eric Sprott, (together with AMC, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers, in a private placement, an aggregate of 46,816,480 units (“Units”) at a purchase price per Unit of $1.193, with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), providing for a total purchase price of approximately $55.9 million (the “Private Placement”). The Warrants issued in the Private Placement have an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share and will expire five years after issuance.
The closing of the sales of securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreements occurred on March 15, 2022 for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $55.9 million before deducting expenses incurred in connection with the Private Placement.The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of existing indebtedness, working capital or capital expenditures andore haul truck size specifications, among other investments, which may include additional technical evaluations and studies, advancement of the Initial Assessment in the 2022 Hycroft TRS to a pre-feasibility and/or feasibility study and additional exploration at the Hycroft Mine.
The Subscription Agreement with AMC, as amended, also provided AMC with the right to appoint a director to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the Company agreed to support such director’s nomination so long as AMC retains at least 50% of the common stock purchased under the Subscription Agreement with AMC and holds at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities.
As required by the Subscription Agreements, the Company prepared and filed a resale registration statement with the SEC to register the common stock, warrants, and Warrant Shares for sale under the Securities Act.
Agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP
On November 10, 2021, the Company entered into a waiver with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector) (the “Lender”) of certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement effective November 10, 2021 (the “November 2021 Waiver”). Pursuant to the November 2021 Waiver, the Lender permitted the Company to cease active mining operations and to reduce the amount of Unrestricted Cash required to be maintained by the Company from not less than $10.0 million to not less than $9.0 million for the period ending May 10, 2022
On February 28, 2022 the Company entered into a waiver and amendment agreement with the Lender (the “February 2022 Waiver and Amendment”) amending the previous waiver and required that the Company maintain at least $7.5 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of February 2022 and at least $9.0 million on the last day of each month thereafter during the

waiver period, waived all obligations of the Company to prepay the facility with the net cash proceeds of any mill asset sales until the earlier of the date on which the Company completes a private placement or other offering or issuance of its equity securities and March 31, 2022, and extended the payment due date for the February additional interest payment and the February principal payment until the earlier of any such offering date and March 31, 2022.
On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into an agreement (the “March 2022 Sprott Agreement”) with the Lender with respect to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of May 29, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Sprott Credit Agreement”) among the Company, the Lender, the Guarantors (as defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement) and the other parties thereto. As described in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, the Company was contemplating the sale or issuance of its equity securities pursuant to one or more transactions to be completed on or before March 31, 2022 (the “Equity Financing Transactions”). Pursuant to the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, if the Equity Financing Transactions resulted (or were likely to result pursuant to definitive subscription underwriting and/or similar legally binding agreements) in the Company’s receipt of total gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses) of at least $50.0 million on or before March 31, 2022 (the “Required Equity Amount”), the Lender and the Company were obligated to amend the principal repayment terms under the Sprott Credit Agreement such that no further scheduled payments of principal shall be required prior to May 31, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) (i.e., there will be no required regular amortization payments of the facility and the full principal balance of the facility shall be due and payable in a single ���bullet” payment on the Maturity Date). The consummation of the Private Placement as described under “Private Placement” above satisfied the Required Equity Amount condition in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement.
The March 2022 Sprott Agreement also provided that, in connection with the modification of the required facility amortization payments, the Company shall pay in-kind to the Lender an amount equal to $3.3 million, with such amount to be capitalized and added to the principal amount owing under the Sprott Credit Agreement and accrue interest at the same rate and upon the same terms as the existing loans under the Sprott Credit Agreement; provided, the payment or prepayment of such capitalized principal amount shall not be subject to the Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement) or any other penalty or premium.
Second Amendment and Restatement of the Sprott Credit Agreement
On March 14, 2022, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the Lender to modify the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement and other applicable loan documents. On March 30, 2022, the Company and Lender under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated March 30, 2022 (“Second A&R Agreement”), which: (i) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility (as such term is defined in the Second A&R Agreement) by two years, to May 31, 2027; (ii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement offering (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”); (iii) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Second A&R Agreement in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (iv) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations: (i) to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales were credited/offset by the $23.9 million aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments; and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the Company made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in-kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022; and following the execution of the Second A&R Agreement on March 30, 2022, the Company (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest payment of $0.5 million, and (ii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million. After giving effect to such prepayments the outstanding principal balance under the Second A&R Agreement was $57.9 million as of March 31, 2022 (before issuance discounts) including unpaid additional interest of approximately $7.1 million.
At-the-market Offering of Common Shares
On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an “at-the-market offering” program (“ATM Program”) by entering into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement (the “Sales Agreement”) with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (the “Agent”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company had the right from time to time to or through the Agent, acting as sales agent or principal, to offer and sell shares of the Company’s common stock having a gross sales price of up to $500.0 million.The compensation payable to the Agent for sales of shares pursuant to the Sales Agreement was equal to 3.0% of the gross sales price for any shares of common stock sold through the ATM Program by Agent as sales agent under the Sales Agreement.Shares sold under the Sales Agreement, were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-257567) (the

“Registration Statement”) that the SEC declared effective on July 13, 2021, including the prospectus, dated July 13, 2021, and the prospectus supplement, dated March 15, 2022.
On March 25, 2022, the Company terminated the ATM Program having sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock and generated aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $138.6 million.
Amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement
On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into an amendment to the 10% Senior Secured Notes and Note Exchange Agreement (the “Note Amendment”), with (i) certain direct and indirect subsidiaries of the Company as Guarantors; (ii) holders of the 10% Senior Secured Notes (the “Subordinated Notes”), including certain funds affiliated with, or managed by, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P, Whitebox Advisors, LLC, Highbridge Capital Management, LLC, and Aristeia Capital, LLC (collectively, the “Amending Holders”), and (iii) Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent. The Note Amendment amends the Note Exchange Agreement dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) and the Subordinated Notes issued thereunder in order to extend the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. The Note Amendment also removed the requirements that a holder receive the consent of the Company and the other holders in order to transfer any Subordinated Note. The Amending Holders constituted all of the holders of the Subordinated Notes. The Note Amendment became effective upon the closing of the Private Placement Offering upon receipt of $55.9 million gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses).
Amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation
On March 11, 2022, the Board approved an amendment to the Company’s Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of the Company’s common stock by 1,000,000,000 to a total of 1,400,000,000 (the “Certificate of Incorporation Amendment”) and directed that the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment be submitted for consideration by the stockholders of the Corporation. On March 15, 2022, AMC, 2176423 Ontario Limited, and entities affiliated with Mudrick Capital Management LP, who together constituted the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding common stock, approved the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment by written consent. The Certificate of Incorporation Amendment became effective upon filing of the Certificate of Incorporation Amendment with the Delaware Secretary of State on April 22, 2022, 20 days after the Company commenced distribution of an Information Statement on Schedule 14C to the stockholders of the Company.

The Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement) requires the Company to ensure that, at all times, both its Working Capital and Unrestricted Cash are at least $10.0$15.0 million, (subsequently reduced by the Waiver and Waiver Amendment and increased by the Second A&R Agreement, each as discussed below), as such terms are defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement), and that at least every six months the Company demonstrates its ability to repay and meet all present and future obligations as they become due with a financial model that uses consensus gold prices discounted by 5.0%. The Subordinated Notes include customary events of default, including those relating to a failure to pay principal or interest, a breach of a covenant, representation or warranty, a cross-default to other indebtedness, and non-compliance with security documents.

Pursuant to the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment, the Lender: (i) waived the Company’s obligation under the Sprott Credit Agreement to maintain at least $9.0 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of each calendar month during the period ending May 10, 2022a letter agreement (the “Waiver Period”and Amendment”), provided that,by and between the Company maintained at least $7.5 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of February 2022 and at least $9.0 million on the last day of each month thereafter during the Waiver Period; (ii) waived all obligations of the Company to prepay the facility with the net cash proceeds of any Mill Asset Sales (as defined in the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment) until the earlier of: (a) the date on which the Company completes a private placement or other offering or issuance of its equity securities (the “Offering Date”); and (b) March 31, 2022; and (iii) extended the payment due date for the additional February interest payment and the February principal payment until the earlier of: (a) the Offering Date; and (b) March 31, 2022.

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into the March 2022 Sprott Agreement with the Lender with respect to the Sprott Credit Agreement. As described in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, the Company was contemplating Equity Financing Transactions to be completed on or before March 31, 2022. Pursuant to the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, if the Equity Financing Transactions result (or were likely to result pursuant to definitive subscription underwriting and/or similar legally binding agreements) in the Company’s receipt of total gross cash proceeds (before deduction of fees and expenses) of the Required Equity Amount on or before March 31, 2022, the Lender and the Company were obligated to amend the principal repayment terms under the Sprott Credit Agreement such that no further scheduled payments of principal shall be required prior to May 31, 2025 (the “Maturity Date”) (i.e., there will be no required regular amortization payments of the facility and the full principal balance of the facility shall be due and payable in a single “bullet” payment on the Maturity Date). The consummation of the Private Placement satisfied the Required Equity Amount condition in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement.
The March 2022 Sprott Agreement also provided that, in connection with the modification of the required facility amortization payments, the Company shall pay to the Lender an amount equal to $3.3 million, with such payment to be capitalized and added to the principal amount owing under the Sprott Credit Agreement and accrue interest at the same rate and upon the same terms as the existing loans under the Sprott Credit Agreement; provided, the payment or prepayment of such capitalized principal amount shall not be subject to the Prepayment Premium (as defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement) or any other penalty or premium.
On March 14, 2022, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the Lender to modify the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement, and other applicable loan documents. On March 30, 2022, the Company and Lenderagreed that while any indebtedness is outstanding under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered intoor while the Second A&R Agreement, which: (a) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligationscredit facility under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (b) provided for the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement; (c) provided for the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022); and (d) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respectAgreement remains available to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment,Company, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds PrepaymentsCompany and all future prepayments of principalguarantors under the Sprott Credit Facility.

Accounting Developments
The following accounting pronouncements were adopted by the Company during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies guidance on accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity including calculating diluted earnings per share. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its financial statements or the related disclosures.
In December of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its financial statements or the related disclosures.
In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that will clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (i) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (ii) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2021-04 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its financial statements or the related disclosures.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
As the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company under Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K, quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk are not required, and such are omitted from this filing.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f). Our internal control over financial reporting was designed to provide reasonable assurance to our management and Board of Directors regarding the preparation and fair presentation of published consolidated financial statements.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 statementsFinancial Statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect

misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.
Hycroft Mining Holding CorporationThe 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, as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of September 30, 2022.March 31, 2023.
Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of September 30, 2022March 31, 2023 to provide such reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, in reports we file or submit 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 disclosure and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, believes 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 disclosure controls, such design is also based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and such assumptions, while reasonable, may not take into account all potential future conditions. Accordingly, because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and may not be prevented or detected.

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
Table of Contents
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.

If at any time during this period the bid price of our common stock closes at or above $1.00 per share for a minimum of ten consecutive business days, the Nasdaq Staff will provide us with a written confirmation of compliance and the matter will be closed.Alternatively, if we fail to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2) prior to the expiration of the 180 calendar day period, but meet the continued listing requirement for market value of publicly held shares and all of the other applicable standards for initial listing on The Nasdaq Capital Market, with the exception of the minimum bid price, and provide written notice of our intention to cure the deficiency during the second compliance period by effecting a reverse stock split, if necessary, then we may be granted an additional 180 calendar days to regain compliance with Rule 5550(a)(2). We can provide no assurance that the trading price of our Common Stock will exceed $1.00 per share for a period of ten consecutive trading days and that we will regain compliance with the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement set forth in Listing Rule for continued listing on the Nasdaq Capital Market even if we maintain compliance with the other listing requirements.

The transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) could have an adverse impact on us.
The financial markets are in the process of transitioning away from LIBOR to alternative benchmark rate(s), which transition is scheduled to be complete by mid-2023. The calculation of the monthly interest rate on our advances under the Sprott Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by the Second A&R Agreement, is partially based on LIBOR. The Sprott Credit Agreement, as amended and restated by the Second A&R Agreement, contains LIBOR benchmark replacement provisions. At this time, there can be no assurance as to whether any alternative benchmark or resulting interest rates may be more or less favorable than LIBOR or whether there are any other unforeseen impacts of the discontinuation of LIBOR. As a result, the consequences related to this transition could adversely affect our debt service obligations, financing costs, liquidity, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows and could impair our access to the capital markets.filing.
