Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

1. Company Overview

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (formerly known as Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation (“MUDS”)) and its subsidiaries (collectively, “Hycroft”, the “Company”, “we”, “us”, “our”, “it”, “HYMC”) is a U.S.-based gold and silver company that is focused on exploring and developing its wholly owned Hycroft Mine in a safe, environmentally responsible, and cost-effective manner. The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada.

The Company restarted pre-commercial scale open pit mining operations at the Hycroft Mine during the second quarter of 2019 and began producing and selling gold and silver during the third quarter of 2019. The Company’s operating plan until November 2021 was 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, 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 the timeline for completing the updated technical studies in early 2022, the Company discontinued pre-commercial scale mining at its run-of-mine (“ROM”) operation. The Company will continue producing gold and silver from ore on the leach pads 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 Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary for the Hycroft Mine (“2022 Hycroft TRS”) which included a mineral resource estimate utilizing a 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 2022 Hycroft TRS and will provide an updated technical report at an appropriate time.

In the first quarter of 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 plans to use a portion of the proceeds from these equity offerings to conduct additional exploration that will focus on the higher-grade opportunities identified during drilling conducted in 2021 and a systematic approach to understanding the genesis of the Hycroft Mine deposit, including potential feeder systems.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation

These condensed consolidated interim financial statements of the Company have been prepared, without audit, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial reporting. Accordingly, these condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a comprehensive presentation of financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto as of and for the year ended December 31, 2021. The Company continues to follow the accounting policies set forth in those audited consolidated financial statements with updates for pronouncements adopted in January 2022 discussed under Recently adopted accounting pronouncements below. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments that are necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s interim financial position, operating results and cash flows for the periods presented.

Liquidity

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had available unrestricted cash on hand of $157.8 million and net working capital of $165.5 million which is expected to provide it with the necessary liquidity to fund its operating and investing requirements and future obligations as they become due within the next twelve months from the date of this filing.

HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

While the Company has continued to process gold and silver ore on the leach pads 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 13 - Stockholders’ Equity, the Company raised gross proceeds of $194.4 million in March 2022 through the following equity financings:

•On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the 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 9 - Debt, Net, as a result of the equity financings above, the Company reached an agreement with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP (the "Lender") with respect to the Credit Agreement among Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, as borrower, Autar Gold Corporation MUDS, MUDS Holdco Inc., Allied VGH LLC, Hycroft 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 statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in these condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The more significant areas requiring the use of management estimates and assumptions relate to: recoverable gold and silver ounces on leach pads and in-process inventories; timing of near-term ounce production and related sales; the useful lives of long-lived assets; estimates of mineral resources; estimates of life-of-mine production timing, volumes, costs and prices; future mining and current and future processing plans; environmental reclamation and closure costs and timing; deferred taxes and related valuation allowances; estimates of the fair value of liability classified warrants, and estimates of fair value for asset impairments and financial instruments. The Company bases its estimates on historical experience and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable at the time the estimate is made. Actual results may differ from amounts estimated in these condensed consolidated financial statements, and such differences could be material. Accordingly, amounts presented in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not indicative of results that may be expected for future periods.

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements

In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity (“ASU 2020-06”). ASU 2020-06 simplifies guidance on accounting for convertible instruments and contracts in an entity’s own equity including calculating diluted earnings per share. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2022. The Company early adopted ASU 2020-06 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In December of 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes (“ASU 2019-12”), as part of its overall simplification initiative to reduce costs and complexity of applying accounting standards while maintaining or improving the usefulness of the information provided to users of financial statements. Amendments include removal of certain exceptions to the general principles of ASC 740, Income Taxes and simplification in several other areas such as accounting for a franchise tax (or similar tax) that is partially based on income. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2019-12 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

In May 2021, the FASB issued ASU 2021-04, Earnings Per Share (Topic 260), Debt—Modifications and Extinguishments (Subtopic 470-50), Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718), and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Issuer’s Accounting for Certain Modifications or Exchanges of Freestanding Equity-Classified Written Call Options (a consensus of the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force). ASU 2021-04 clarifies and reduces diversity in an issuer’s accounting for modifications or exchanges of freestanding equity-classified written call options (e.g., warrants) that remain equity classified after modification or exchange. ASU 2021-04 provides guidance that will clarify whether an issuer should account for a modification or an exchange of a freestanding equity-classified written call option that remains equity classified after modification or exchange as (i) an adjustment to equity and, if so, the related earnings per share effects, if any, or (ii) an expense and, if so, the manner and pattern of recognition. For emerging growth companies, the new guidance was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2021 and the Company adopted ASU 2021-04 as of January 1, 2022, with no material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements or the related disclosures.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, there were no events or changes in circumstances that would have required the Company to evaluate the current carrying value of its Plant and equipment, net for recoverability. Depreciation expense related to Plant and equipment, net was $0.9 million and $1.9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, respectively, and $2.3 million and $3.4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.

6. Restricted Cash

The following table provides the components of Restricted cash (dollars in thousands):


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Reclamation and other surety bond cash collateral	$	33,510	$	34,293

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s surface management surety bonds totaled $58.7 million and $59.3 million, respectively, of which $58.3 million secured the financial assurance requirements for the Hycroft Mine. The remaining portion related to the securitization of the financial assurance requirements for the adjacent water supply well field and exploration project. The financial assurance requirement for the adjacent water supply well field was reduced to $0.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022. This reduction was achieved by canceling a $1.0 million surety bond and replacing it with a $0.4 million increase to an existing surety bond. The $1.0 million surety bond was collateralized with $0.8 million cash which, upon cancellation, was returned to the Company. The $0.4 million increase to the existing surety bond was achieved without additional cash collateral. Also during the second quarter of 2022, the Company began receiving interest on its cash collateral for certain surety bonds. Interest received on cash collateral balances is restricted as to its use and is included as an increase to Restricted cash with a corresponding increase to Interest income when earned.

Excise tax liability

A new mining excise tax applied to gross proceeds became effective on July 1, 2021, following the passing of Assembly Bill 495 at the Nevada Legislative Session ended on May 31, 2021. The new excise tax is a tiered tax applicable to gross revenues exceeding $20.0 million each year, with a highest rate of 1.1%. The first payment was made in April 2022 with respect to revenues earned in 2021.

The bill does not take into consideration expenses or costs incurred to generate gross proceeds. Therefore, this tax will be treated as a gross receipts tax and not as a tax based on income. As a result, this new tax will be reported as a component of

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Cost of sales and not as income tax expense. As of June 30, 2022, the Company has not reached $20.0 million in sales revenue and it does not expect to reach $20.0 million in revenue during 2022 and as such has not accrued an amount related to the annual excise tax.

Non-refundable option payment received for Assets held for sale

As discussed in Note 7 - Assets held for sale, the Company received a non-refundable option payment of $0.6 million towards the sale of a dual pinion ball mill included in equipment not in use within Assets held for sale. The non-refundable option payment was accounted for as a contract liability and will remain a contract liability until the Company transfers title to the purchaser at which time the dual pinion ball mill will be derecognized and a gain or loss on sale will be recorded.

9. Debt, Net

Second Amendment to Sprott Credit Agreement

On March 30, 2022, the Company and Lender under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered into the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“Second A&R Agreement”), which: (a) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (b) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement Offering with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and 2176423 Ontario Limited (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”); (c) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Facility in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (d) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations (i) to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales will be credited/offset by the aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments ($23.9 million), and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. The Company: (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest of $0.5 million; (ii) made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in-kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022; and (iii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million on March 30, 2022. The Company accounted for the Second A&R Agreement as a debt modification as the Second A&R Agreement did not result in debt that was substantially different.

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 Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (collectively, the “Amending Holders”); and (iii) Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent. The Note Amendment amends the Note Exchange Agreement dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) and the Subordinated Notes issued thereunder in order to extend the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. The Note Amendment also 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. See Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies for further details.

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.

Common Stock

Private placement offering

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell the entities an aggregate of 46,816,480 units at a purchase price per unit of $1.193 with each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s common stock and one warrant to purchase a share of Common Stock (“Warrants”) 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 Offering"). The Warrants have an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share and will expire five years after issuance. On March 15, 2022, the Private Placement Offering closed and the Company received gross proceeds of $55.9 million before deducting expenses incurred in connection with therewith. Net proceeds were $53.7 million, after deducting legal and other fees of $2.3 million (including a $1.8 million financial advisor fee related to the Private Placement Offering that was included in Accounts payable and accrued expense as of June 30, 2022). See Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies for further discussion of the fees incurred for a financial advisor.

At-the-market offering

On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented an “at-the-market” offering (“ATM Program”) by entering into an At Market Issuance Sales Agreement with B. Riley Securities, Inc. (“Sales Agreement”). Under the terms of the Sales Agreement, the Company may from time to time to or through the Agent, acting as sales agent or principal, offer and sell shares of its Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, having a gross sales price of up to $500.0 million. Shares of common stock sold under the Sales Agreement, were issued pursuant to the Company’s shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-257567) that the SEC declared effective on July 13, 2021, including the prospectus, dated July 13, 2021, and the prospectus supplement, dated March 15, 2022. The Company completed the ATM Program on March 25, 2022, and received total gross proceeds, before deducting fees and expenses of the ATM Program, of $138.6 million from the sale of 89,553,584 shares of the Company’s common stock.

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:

Total	$	3,831		$	36,001		$	12,997		$	55,037

While the Company is not obligated to sell any of its gold and silver to one customer, the majority of gold and silver sales during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were to two customers. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company had one customer and during the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company had another singular customer that differed from the customer during first three months of the year. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, 65.2% and 79.4% of revenue was attributable to sales to one customer, respectively. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, approximately 80.8% and 90.5% of revenue was attributable to sales to one customer.

15. Stock-Based Compensation

Performance and Incentive Pay Plan (“PIPP”)

On June 2, 2022, the Company’s stockholders approved an amendment to the PIPP which 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 June 30, 2022, all awards granted under the PIPP were in the form of restricted stock units to employees, directors, or consultants of the Company. As of June 30, 2022, there were 9,935,460 shares available for issuance under the PIPP.

For restricted stock units granted in the first quarter of 2019 that had not vested as of June 30, 2022, a price per share was not determined as of the grant date. The number of shares of common stock of the Company to be issued upon vesting was calculated on the vesting date, which was either the second or third anniversary of the date of the grant, or the annual date the compensation committee determines the achievement of the corporate performance targets. Such unvested restricted stock unit awards are included in Other liabilities. The Company estimates 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 the period as quoted on the Nasdaq Capital Market. For purposes of the outstanding unvested calculations below and the calculation of the shares available for issuance under the PIPP above, the Company used the closing share price on July 1, 2022 of $1.09, the vesting date of the remaining award, to determine the number of shares of common stock to be issued upon vesting of these awards.

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


						Six Months Ended June 30,
						2022
Unvested at beginning of year(1)						2,210,911
Granted						2,466,042
Impact of fluctuations in share price						(457,084)
Canceled/forfeited						(203,383)
Vested(2)						(792,249)
Unvested end of period(1)						3,224,237

(1)Amounts include liability-based awards for which the number of units awarded is not determined until the vesting date. The number of liability-based award units included in this amount are estimated using the market value of the Company's common shares as of the end of each reporting period.

(2)On June 30, 2022, 36,344 restricted stock units vested and the corresponding issuance of shares of common stock could not be issued as the Company was under a trading black-out. The shares of common stock will be issued upon expiration of the black-out period.

(3)Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company granted 506,062 restricted stock units to employees of the Company.

During the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company reclassified $0.1 million and $0.4 million from the current portion of Other liabilities to Additional paid-in capital for restricted stock units that vested.

16. 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, 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

Table of Contents

HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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 six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The effective tax rate for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was 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.

17. Loss Per Share

The table below summarizes the Company’s basic and diluted loss per share calculations (in thousands, except share and per share amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Net loss	$	(8,982)	$	(8,427)	$	(31,042)	$	(18,115)

Weighted average shares outstanding
Basic	197,116,341		59,927,523		139,479,103		59,914,487
Diluted	197,116,341		59,927,523		139,479,103		59,914,487

Basic loss per common share	$	(0.05)	$	(0.14)	$	(0.22)	$	(0.30)
Diluted loss per common share	$	(0.05)	$	(0.14)	$	(0.22)	$	(0.30)

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing the net loss for the period by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.

Due to the Company’s net loss during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, there was no dilutive effect of common stock equivalents because the effects of such would have been anti-dilutive. The following table summarizes the shares excluded from the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding, as the impact would be anti-dilutive (in thousands):


	June 30,

19. Fair Value Measurements

Recurring fair value measurements

The following table sets forth by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Company’s liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (dollars in thousands).


	Hierarchy Level	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Warrant liabilities
5-Year Private Warrants	2	2,275		664
Seller Warrants	2	9		5
Total		$	2,284	$	669

5-Year Private Warrants

The 5-Year Private Warrants are valued using a Black-Scholes model that requires a variety of inputs including the Company's stock price, the strike price of the 5-Year Private Warrants, the risk-free rate, and the implied volatility. As the terms of the 5-Year Private Warrants are identical to the terms of the 5-Year Public Warrants except that the 5-Year Private Warrants, while held by certain holders or their permitted transferees, are precluded from mandatory redemption and are entitled to be exercise on a “cashless basis” at the holder’s election, the implied volatility used in the Black-Scholes model is calculated using a Monte-Carlo model of the 5-Year Public Warrants that factors in the restrictive redemption and cashless exercise features of the 5-Year Private Warrants. The Company updates the fair value calculation on at least a quarterly basis, or more frequently if changes in circumstances and assumptions indicate a change from the existing carrying value.

Seller Warrants

The Seller Warrant Agreement contains certain terms and features to reduce the exercise price and increase the number of shares of common stock each warrant is exercisable into. As a result, Seller Warrants are considered derivative financial instruments and carried at fair value. The fair value of Seller Warrants was computed by an independent third-party consultant (and validated by the Company) using a Monte Carlo simulation-based model that requires a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, exercise prices, equity volatility and discount rates. The Company updates the fair value calculation on at least an annual basis, or more frequently if changes in circumstances and assumptions indicate a change from the existing carrying value.

Items disclosed at fair value

Debt, net

The Sprott Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are privately held and, as such, there is no public market or trading information available for such debt instruments. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of the Company’s debt instruments was $121.4 million and $162.8 million, compared to the carrying value of $142.2 million and $160.3 million as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. The fair value of the principal of the Company’s debt instruments, including capitalized interest, was estimated using a market approach in which pricing information for publicly traded, non-convertible debt instruments with speculative ratings were analyzed to derive a mean trading multiple to apply to the June 30, 2022 balances.

21. Commitments and Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal actions related to its business, some of which have been class action lawsuits. Management 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 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 the results of operations and cash flows for such period. Regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors.

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

Financial commitments and contingencies recorded in the financial statements

Settlement fee

In February 2022, the Company engaged a financial advisor to assist with its financing efforts. During March 2022, the Company completed the Private Placement Offering, the ATM Program and entered into the Second A&R Agreement and Note Amendment without assistance from the financial advisor. As the Company completed the aforementioned equity and debt transactions during the engagement period, the Company and the financial advisor agreed to a fee of $3.5 million of which 50% is related to liability management for the Note Amendment and 50% is attributable to the Private Placement Offering, The Company accrued the $3.5 million fee as of June 30, 2022 to Accounts payable and accrued liabilities with corresponding charges of 50% each to equity issuance costs and general and administrative expense. See Note 23 - Subsequent Events for further details.

Financial commitments and contingencies not recorded in the financial statements

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net smelter royalty arrangement and a net profit royalty arrangement.

Table of Contents

HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORPORATION

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Crofoot Royalty

A portion of the Hycroft Mine is subject to a mining lease that requires a 4% net profit royalty be paid to the owner of certain patented and unpatented mining claims (“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. The total payments due under the mining lease are capped at $7.6 million, of which the Company has paid or accrued $3.0 million and included $0.6 million in Other assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2022.

Net smelter royalty

Pursuant to the Sprott Royalty Agreement in which the Company received cash consideration in the amount of $30.0 million, the Company granted a perpetual royalty equal to 1.5% of the Net Smelter Returns from its Hycroft Mine, payable monthly. Net Smelter Returns for any given month are calculated as Monthly Production multiplied by the Monthly Average Gold Price and the Monthly Average Silver Price, minus Allowable Deductions, as such terms are defined in the Sprott Royalty Agreement. The Company is required to remit royalty payments to the payee free and clear and without any present or future deduction, withholding, charge or levy on account of taxes, except Excluded Taxes as such term is defined in the Sprott Royalty Agreement.

At both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the estimated net present value of the Company’s net smelter royalty was $154.0 million. The net present value of the Company’s net smelter royalty was modeled using the following level 3 inputs: (i) market consensus inputs for future gold and silver prices; (ii) a precious metals industry consensus discount rate of 5.0%; and (iii) estimates of the Hycroft Mine’s life-of-mine gold and silver production volumes and timing.

22. Related Party Transactions

Certain amounts of the Company’s indebtedness have historically, and with regard to the $80.0 million of Subordinated Notes, were held by five financial institutions. As of June 30, 2022, one of the financial institutions, Mudrick Capital Management, L.P (“Mudrick”), held more than 10% of the common stock of the Company and, as a result, was considered a related party (a “Related Party” or the “Related Parties”) in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Interest expense, net of capitalized interest included $1.0 million and $2.0 million, respectively, for the debt held by the Related Party.

As of June 30, 2021, three of the financial institutions, Mudrick, Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (“Highbridge”), Mudrick and Whitebox Advisors, LLC (“Whitebox”), held more than 10% of the common stock of the Company and, as a result, each was considered to be a Related Party. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, Interest expense, net of capitalized interest included $1.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, for the debt held by Related Parties.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Related Parties held a total $40.8 million and $63.8 million, respectively, of debt.

Additionally, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company paid $0.1 million and $1.1 million to Ausenco Engineering USA South (“Ausenco”) for work performed on preparing an Acid POX milling technical study and incurred an obligation of $0.1 million for other engineering services. The Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer is currently a non-executive director on Ausenco’s board of directors.

23. Subsequent Events

Settlement fee

As discussed in Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies, the Company engaged a financial advisor in February 2022. On July 26, 2022, the Company executed a settlement agreement with a financial advisor whereby the Company agreed to pay a $3.5 million fee of which 50% is directly related to liability management for the Note Amendment and 50% is directly attributable to the Private Placement Offering. In addition, under the settlement agreement, the engagement was terminated with no future obligations. The Company agreed to pay $1.8 million in cash and issue shares of common stock under a private placement for the remaining $1.8 million. The Company issued 1,714,678 shares of common stock on July 28, 2022 and remitted the cash payment on August 1, 2022. The number of shares of common stock issued was determined using the volume weighted average price on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the 10 trading days preceding the effective date of the agreement.

Seller Warrants

On August 3, 2022, the Company issued a notice under the Seller Warrant Agreement notifying the holders of its Seller Warrants that the terms of the Seller Warrants have been adjusted effective as of August 3, 2022 as a result of the issuance or deemed issuance of additional equity awards under the HYMC 2020 Performance and Incentive Pay Plan to “Restricted Persons” (as defined in the Seller Warrant Agreement) through August 3, 2022 in the aggregate amount of 2,570,602 restricted stock units convertible into shares of common stock and for the prospective issuance of up to 500,000 shares of common stock to participants who may be deemed to be Restricted Persons. These shares of common stock were not prospectively adjusted for previously under the Seller Warrant provisions.

In accordance with the adjustment provisions of the Seller Warrant Agreement: (1) the exercise price of each Seller Warrant is decreased from $40.31 per share of common stock to $39.90 per share of common stock; (2) the number of shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of each Seller Warrant is increased from 0.28055 to 0.28347; and (3) as adjusted, the aggregate number of shares of common stock issuable upon full exercise of the 12,721,901 outstanding Seller Warrants is increased from 3,569,051 to 3,606,256 shares of common stock.

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

The following discussion, which has been prepared based on information available to us as of August 3, 2022, provides information that we believe is relevant to an assessment and understanding of our consolidated operating results and financial condition. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our other reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “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 six months ended June 30, 2022. 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 is focused on exploring the Hycroft Mine’s claims comprising approximately 71,000 acres and developing our wholly owned 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. The Hycroft Mine is located in the State of Nevada and the corporate office is located in Winnemucca, Nevada. In February 2022, we filed the 2022 Hycroft TRS which contemplates processing gold and silver ore using milling and pressure oxidation to process sulfide ore along with heap leaching to process oxide and transition ore.

Health and Safety

We believe that safety is a core value, and we support that belief through our philosophy of safe work performance. Our mandatory mine safety and health programs include employee engagement and ownership of safety performance, accountability, employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program auditing. This integrated approach is essential to ensure that our employees, contractors, and visitors operate safely.

During the first half of 2022, we reported no lost time accidents. The Hycroft Mine’s total recordable injury frequency rate (“TRIFR”) for the trailing twelve months, which includes other reportable incidents, is one of the metrics we use to assess safety performance, and it is well below industry averages and significantly below historical levels experienced at the Hycroft Mine. During the first half of 2022 we continued our critical focus on safety, including allocating additional personnel, resources, workforce time, and communications to mine safety. These actions contributed to a reduction in our TRIFR to approximately 0.28 at June 30, 2022, compared with approximately 0.64 at December 31, 2021, an approximate 56% reduction. We will continue our safety efforts to reach the level of safety we expect and need to keep our workforce, contractors, and visitors safe.

For health and safety actions specific to COVID-19, refer to the Recent Developments section of this MD&A.

Executive Summary

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we continued recovering gold and silver from ore previously placed on the leach pads and expect to continue as long as it remains economic which is currently anticipated to be the end of 2022. When the operation was re-started in 2019, mining oxide and transition ore allowed the Company to pre-strip overburden with some revenue offset to gain access to commercial scale sulfide mineralization. With the change in focus from the Novel Process to a milling operation, there is ample time to align the remaining pre-stripping with the start-up of commercial scale sulfide operations. We believe that this action will conserve cash and focus the Company’s time and resources on its technical studies for sulfide ore. The metallurgical and variability drill program concluded in the first quarter of 2022, and metallurgical analysis and test work is expected to continue through first quarter of 2023 and a new exploration program involving reverse circulation (“RC”) and core drilling will begin in the third quarter of 2022.

Following a review of past and recent test work and based on the currently contemplated designs and operating parameters of the alternative sulfide processing methods being studied including the Novel Process, and milling with atmospheric alkaline oxidation or alkaline pressure oxidation (“POX”), the Company, working closely with its industry leading technical consultants, completed pit optimization runs and trade-off analyses comparing the alternative processes which reflected that an Acid POX process has significantly better economics than other processes studied. Therefore, the Company focused its study efforts and resources solely on the Acid POX Initial Assessment which was prepared by Ausenco, with an effective date of February 18, 2022. The Acid POX process included in the 2022 Hycroft TRS (as defined below) is a conventional crushing, grinding, and flotation circuit that generates a concentrate to be fed to an autoclave facility commonly used for refractory gold ores in this region.

2022 Highlights

•Safety - Hycroft's safety performance continued to improve with a 0.28 trailing 12-month TRIFR at the end of the second quarter of 2022. This represents an approximate 56% reduction in TRIFR compared with 0.64 at the end of 2021.

•Leach Pad Operations - Gold recoveries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, were 6,487 and 10,924 ounces, respectively, and silver recoveries were 18,566 and 30,515 ounces, respectively, both in line with expectations. Processing of ore on leach pads is currently planned to proceed through the end of 2022 with immaterial residual recovery of ounces through the first quarter of 2023.

•Strengthened balance sheet:

◦Raised gross cash proceeds of $194.4 million through a $55.9 million private placement offering and $138.6 million in an at-the-market equity offering program, before deductions of commissions, fees and expenses.

◦Amended the Sprott Credit Agreement such that no further scheduled payments of principal are required prior to maturity, which was extended by two years to May 31, 2027, after raising the $50.0 million minimum equity and paying a $3.3 million fee in-kind. In addition, we made a prepayment of $23.9 million as required under the amended agreement.

◦Amended the Subordinated Notes to extend debt maturity by two years to December 1, 2027 with continuing 10% interest payable in-kind.

◦The Company ended the second quarter of 2022 with $157.8 million of cash on hand and was in compliance with debt covenants.

•Finalized Initial Assessment Technical Report - The Company along with its third-party consultants, completed and filed the Initial Assessment Technical Report Summary for the Hycroft Mine (“2022 Hycroft TRS”) with an effective date of February 18, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, the Hycroft Mine had measured and indicated mineral resources of 9.6 million ounces of gold and 446.0 million ounces of silver and inferred mineral resources of 5.0 million ounces of gold and 150.4 million ounces of silver, which are contained in oxide, transitional and sulfide ores.

•Exploration - In July 2022, we initiated the 2022 - 2023 exploration program which is the largest exploration program at the Hycroft Mine in nearly a decade. The 2022 - 2023 exploration program will focus on the higher-grade opportunities identified during 2021 and a systematic approach to understand the genesis of the Hycroft Mine deposit, including potential feeder systems. The 2022 - 2023 exploration program will comprise approximately 100,000 feet of RC drilling and approximately 25,000 feet of core drilling. The focus of the 2022 - 2023 exploration program activities are as follows:

Table of Contents

◦Drilling to expand and extend the high-grade Vortex Zone as defined in the 2022 Hycroft TRS;

◦Following up higher-grade intercepts from the 2021 drill program;

◦Drilling three zones at depth that were identified in prior geophysical work indicating high potential for feeder zones; and

◦Targeted drilling outside the known resource area to assess district potential. More than 60,000 acres of the Company’s land position remain unexplored.

•Infill Drilling - In addition to the exploration discussed above, the Company will also conduct targeted infill drilling within the existing deposits where there is limited drilling. Based on the geology and surrounding drill results, we are 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, equipment costs, and increase revenue in the ongoing engineering and design work. Additionally, based upon the results of such additional infill drilling, inferred mineral resources could be upgraded to higher resources classifications inside and adjacent to the current pit limits.

Project Update

•2021 Drill Program and Variability Test Work - As we initially reported in our February 22, 2022 news release, results from our 2021 drill program continue to be delayed due to backlogs in the independent labs associated with reduced staffing levels from the COVID-19 pandemic and high demand for these services. To date, we have received substantially all of the assay results for the 2021 drill program. Approximately 93% of the reverse circulation (“RC”) drilling samples were from pre-collar holes for the metallurgical core program and the remaining 7% of the RC samples were for in-pit exploration. The variability test work is ongoing and we anticipate it will be substantially complete in the first quarter of 2023. The results of the 2021 drill program and variability test work, together with the 2022 - 2023 exploration program discussed below will be used for geologic modeling, updated resource models and mine planning activities associated with the technical studies underway for the sulfide mill operation.

•Update of silver assay data in the resource model - Following our review of the resource in 2021, we announced on February 22, 2022, that silver may be under-estimated in the resource model noting that a significant portion of historical drilling in the database does not include assay information for silver. With silver currently estimated to contribute 40-50% of the potential value at the Hycroft Mine under the milling process, we believe this information is an important factor to the overall understanding of the mineral resource. Our efforts are ongoing and to-date we have reduced the number of samples missing silver fire assay data to approximately 28% after we located some silver fire assay data that had not been previously included in the block model. The remaining missing samples are scattered throughout the overall ore body. We have also located a small portion of the historical pulps and sent them to an independent lab to re-analyze for the missing silver fire assay values. The results from these pulps are expected to be returned by the end of the third quarter. Additionally, the 2022 - 2023 drill program includes targeted infill drilling that, along with the additional data identified above, will help us determine if additional infill drilling may be necessary to further refine the silver assay data in the block model.

Recent Developments

COVID-19

We have implemented health and safety policies for employees, contractors, and visitors that follow the guidelines published by the Centers for Disease Control ("CDC") and the Mine Safety and Health Administration ("MSHA"). During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our operations faced certain limitations due to COVID-19, however the impact, while negative, did not materially and adversely impact our operations.

Mineral Resource Update

Gold equivalent mineral resources totaled 15.5 million ounces of measured and indicated and 6.9 million ounces of inferred. For this study, Independent Mining Consultants, Inc. developed the Hycroft Mine resource block model which includes data from 1981 to 2018 and includes 5,501 holes, representing 2,482,722 ft of drilling. The current inflationary environment and change in processing technique has resulted in increased cost assumptions and an associated higher cut-off grade partially mitigated by higher recoveries leading to a change in the mineral resource estimate, when compared with the prior model.

The mineral resources were estimated based upon results of the 2022 Hycroft TRS, as conducted in accordance with the Modernization Rules.

Private Placement

On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements” and each a “Subscription Agreement”) with each of American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”) and 2176423 Ontario Limited, an entity affiliated with Eric Sprott (“Sprott” and together with AMC, the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Purchasers, in a private placement, an aggregate of 46,816,480 units (“Units”) at a purchase price per Unit of $1.193, with each Unit consisting of one share of common stock, and one warrant to purchase a share of common stock and the shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants (the “Warrant Shares”), providing for a total purchase price of approximately $55.9 million (the “Private Placement”). The Warrants issued in the Private Placement have an exercise price of $1.068 per Warrant Share and will expire five years after issuance.

The closing of the sales of securities pursuant to the Subscription Agreements occurred on March 15, 2022 for gross proceeds to the Company of approximately $55.9 million before deducting expenses incurred in connection with the Private Placement. The Company intends to use the proceeds for general corporate purposes, which may include the repayment, refinancing, redemption or repurchase of existing indebtedness, working capital or capital expenditures and other investments, which may include additional technical evaluations and studies, advancement of the Initial Assessment in the 2022 Hycroft TRS to a pre-feasibility and/or feasibility study and additional exploration at the Hycroft Mine.

The Subscription Agreement with AMC, as amended, also provided AMC with the right to appoint a director to the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) and the Company agreed to support such director’s nomination so long as AMC retains at least 50% of the common stock purchased under the Subscription Agreement with AMC and holds at least 5% of the outstanding voting securities.

As required by the Subscription Agreements, the Company prepared and filed a resale registration statement with the SEC to register the common stock, warrants, and Warrant Shares for sale under the Securities Act.

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 (a) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility (as such term is defined in the Second A&R Agreement) by two years, to May 31, 2027; (b) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Sprott Credit Facility in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement offering (the “Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment”); (c) provided for the Company to prepay principal under the Second A&R Agreement in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022) (the “Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments”); and (d) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations (i) to prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales were credited/offset by the $23.9 million aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments, and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash (as defined in the Second A&R Agreement) was increased to $15.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the Company made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in-kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022; and following the execution of the Second A&R Agreement on March 30, 2022, the Company (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest payment of $0.5 million, and (ii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million. After giving effect to 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.

Table of Contents

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 Highbridge Capital Management, LLC (collectively, the “Amending Holders”), and (iii) Wilmington Trust, National Association, in its capacity as collateral agent. The Note Amendment amends the Note Exchange Agreement dated as of January 13, 2020 (the “Note Exchange Agreement”) and the Subordinated Notes issued thereunder in order to extend the maturity date of the Subordinated Notes from December 1, 2025 to December 1, 2027. The Note Amendment also 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

2022 Outlook

Our current operating plan is to: (i) operate safely as we continue to process heap leach inventory until it is no longer economic; (ii) complete the metallurgical test work associated with the variability drilling program; (iii) conduct exploration activities and targeted exploration drilling; and (iv) continue to advance the Acid POX technical study to a pre-feasibility or feasibility level. We now expect to substantially complete recovery of gold and silver from the heap leach pads by the end of 2022. We may recover immaterial amounts of gold and silver during the first quarter of 2023.

Technical Activities

During the first half of 2022, we continued to work alongside our industry-leading consultants to provide additional and expanded information on the ore body and investigate opportunities for improvements in operating parameters for commercial scale operations at the Hycroft Mine. This information is critical in understanding the mineralogical properties of the deposit and ultimately the most economic processing technology for the various ore domains. Accordingly, we developed an approximate $10 million program for drilling and additional metallurgical and mineralogical studies in 2021 and 2022. The drilling program was completed in January 2022, and the metallurgical test work portion of the program is expected to be completed in the early third quarter of 2022. Lab testing continues to be challenged by labor shortages and equipment availability. As of June 30, 2022, we have spent $8.2 million under the program.

Ongoing and future technical work for the Hycroft Mine will be primarily focused on (i) evaluating results from our recently initiated 2022 - 2023 exploration program, (ii) completing the variability and metallurgical test work, and (iii) evaluating the Acid POX milling for processing sulfide ore.

•Exploration – We have identified exploration drilling opportunities to follow up on higher grade areas that would benefit from expanded drilling in order to convert inferred blocks to measured or indicated blocks, and areas that are prospective for higher grade material. We initiated the 2022 - 2023 exploration program in July 2022 to opportunistically and cost effectively drill these areas.

Table of Contents

•Variability test work - The variability test work that is underway is necessary for all commercial scale sulfide processing options. The test work includes a suite of laboratory tests designed to:

•understand the metallurgical characteristics of each geologic domain and their amenability to various processing technologies;

•understand the metallurgical characteristics of sulfide material below the water table;

•understand the role that other minerals may play in the overall oxidation process;

•determine amenability to oxidation in each geologic domain; and

•establish a relationship between oxidation levels and gold recoveries across each geologic domain.

Operations

The following table provides a summary of operating results for the Hycroft Mine:


		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2022		2021		2022		2021












Ounces recovered - gold	(oz)	6,487		16,742		10,924		30,701
Ounces recovered - silver	(oz)	18,566		134,173		30,515		229,375

Ounces sold - gold	(oz)	1,966		17,060		6,740		26,890
Ounces sold - silver	(oz)	5,940		189,766		16,879		247,002

Average realized sales price - gold	($/oz)	$	1,880	$	1,811	$	1,870	$	1,801
Average realized sales price - silver	($/oz)	$	22.96	$	26.88	$	23.43	$	26.70

As shown above, ounces recovered and ounces sold decreased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared with the same period of the prior year. These decreases reflect the Company’s decision to cease mining operations in November 2021. The Company expects to continue to recover gold and silver ore on leach pads until such time that it is no longer economic, which is expected to be the end of 2022. Due to the increases in the spot prices for gold during the first two quarters of 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021, the average realized prices increased during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Results of Operations

Revenues

Gold revenue

The table below summarizes gold sales, ounces sold and average realized prices for the following periods (dollars in thousands, except per ounce amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Gold revenue	$	3,695	$	30,900	$	12,601	$	48,441
Gold ounces sold	1,966		17,060		6,740		26,890
Average realized price (per ounce)	$	1,880	$	1,811	$	1,870	$	1,801

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, gold revenue was $3.7 million and $12.6 million, respectively, compared to $30.9 million and $48.4 million, respectively, for the comparable periods of 2021. The significant decrease in revenue during the 2022 period was attributable to the cessation of mining operations in November 2021. As a result, significantly less ore was under leach during the 2022 period as compared to the prior period of 2021. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in the average realized price which was due to higher spot prices for gold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022.

Silver revenue

The table below summarizes silver sales, ounces sold and average realized prices for the following periods (dollars in thousands, except per ounce amounts):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Silver revenue	$	136	$	5,101	$	396	$	6,596
Silver ounces sold	5,940		189,766		16,879		247,002
Average realized price (per ounce)	$	22.96	$	26.88	$	23.43	$	26.70

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, silver revenue was $0.1 million and $0.4 million, respectively, compared to $5.1 million and $6.6 million, respectively, for the comparable period of 2021. Similar to gold revenue, the decrease in silver revenue during the first half of 2022 was attributable to the cessation of mining activities in November 2021.

Total cost of sales

Total cost of sales consists of Production costs, Depreciation and amortization, and Mine site period costs. The table below summarizes total cost of sales for the following periods (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022		2021		2022		2021
Production costs	$	3,634	$	29,494	$	13,217	$	47,311
Depreciation and amortization	632		1,573		1,552		2,614
Mine site period costs	2,551		2,434		9,020		12,978
Total cost of sales	$	6,817	$	33,501	$	23,789	$	62,903

Table of Contents

Production costs

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company recognized $3.6 million and $13.2 million, respectively, in Production costs, or $1,848 and $1,961, respectively, per ounce of gold sold, compared to $29.5 million and $47.3 million, respectively, or $1,729 and $1,759, per ounce of gold, sold during the same period of 2021. The decrease in Production costs was primarily due to a respective decrease in gold ounces sold of 15,094 and 20,150 ounces sold, partly offset by a higher average inventory cost per ounce during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021.

Depreciation and amortization

Depreciation and amortization was $0.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively, or $321 and $230, respectively, per ounce of gold sold for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $1.6 million and $2.6 million, or $92 and $97, per ounce of gold sold, during the same periods of 2021. The increase in total depreciation and amortization costs per ounce of gold sold was largely due to a decrease of 15,094 and 20,150, respectively, of gold ounces sold during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same periods of 2021.

Mine site period costs

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, inclusive of depreciation and amortization, the Company recorded $2.6 million and $9.0 million, respectively, of Cost of sales for costs that were in excess of the net realizable value per ounce of gold inventories, compared to $2.4 million and $13.0 million, respectively, during the same periods of 2021. 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.

General and administrative

General and administrative totaled $5.2 million and $8.3 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 compared to $5.2 million and $9.0 million, respectively, during the same period of 2021.

The decrease of $0.1 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to decreases in salary and compensation costs of $0.7 million due to reduced headcount as a result of the cessation of mining operations in November 2921, consulting fees associated with former employees of the Company that ended during 2021 of $0.2 million, insurance related costs of $0.6 million and other costs of $0.1 million. These decreases were offset by a $1.8 million commission related to completion of the Second A&R Agreement and Note Amendment.

The decrease of $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to decreases in consulting and legal fees of $1.3 million, salary and compensation costs of $0.5 million and insurance related fees of $0.5 million. These decreases were offset by the $1.8 million commission discussed above.

Projects, exploration, and development

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, Projects, exploration and development costs totaled $0.2 million and $1.2 million, respectively, compared to $1.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, for the same period of 2021. Projects, exploration and development are related to: (i) completing technical studies; (ii) conducting geological studies; (iii) oversight and project management; and (iv) exploration drilling, engineering, and metallurgical activities. The decrease of $0.9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022 was the result of completion of the 2022 Hycroft TRS that was issued in February 2022. The decrease of $0.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 was the result of additional costs incurred related to the completion of the 2022 Hycroft TRS compared to drilling costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022 related to the variability and metallurgical test program.

Interest expense, net of capitalized interest

As discussed and detailed in Note 9 - Debt, Net to the Notes to the Financial Statements, Interest expense, net of capitalized interest totaled $4.2 million and $9.5 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $5.3 million and $9.7 million, respectively, during the same period in 2021. The decreases of $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 were the result of a decrease in the outstanding obligation for the Sprott Credit Agreement as the Company repaid portions of the balance in March 2022. This decrease was offset by an increase in the balance outstanding on the Subordinated Notes at June 30, 2022 as compared to the same periods in 2021. The higher outstanding balance for the Subordinated Notes was due to quarterly interest payments that are paid in-kind as additional indebtedness.

Fair value adjustments to warrants

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of $3.7 million, as the market trading values of the publicly listed warrants decreased during the period. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash loss of $1.6 million, as the market trading values of the publicly listed warrants increased during the period.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, the Fair value adjustments to warrants resulted in a non-cash gain of $0.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, as the market trading values of the publicly listed warrants decreased, which was primarily due to a decrease in the underlying trading price of the common stock.

Refer to Note 11 - Warrant Liabilities to the Notes to the Financial Statements for further detail.

Income taxes

There was no income tax benefit or expense, net, recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. The Company has not recorded any future income tax benefits for net losses, due to a full valuation allowance recorded against the net operating loss carryforward.

Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) imposes limitations on the use of U.S. federal net operating losses (“NOLs”) upon a more than 50% change in ownership in the Company (as defined in the IRC) within a three-year period. In connection with its at-the-market equity offering, the Company underwent a Section 382 ownership change on March 25, 2022. As a result, utilization of the Company’s NOLs and certain unrealized losses are limited on an annual basis. If the Section 382 annual limitation amount is not fully utilized in a particular tax year, then the unused portion from that tax year is added to the Section 382 annual limitation in subsequent years. The Company’s annual limitation under Section 382 is estimated to be approximately $1.3 million.

For additional details, refer to Note 16 - Income Taxes to the Notes to the Financial Statements.

Net loss

For the reasons discussed above, the Company recorded a net loss of $9.0 million and $31.0 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, which included a gain from Fair value adjustments to warrants of $3.7 million and a loss of $1.6 million, respectively. The Company recorded net losses of $8.4 million and $18.1 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, which included a gain of $0.7 million and $10.1 million, respectively, from Fair value adjustment to warrants.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

The Company’s unrestricted cash position at June 30, 2022 was $157.8 million as compared with $12.3 million at December 31, 2021. While the Company plans to continue processing gold and silver ore on the leach pads through the end of 2022 after ceasing mining operations and partially offset the cash that is projected to be used in operations and investing activities, the Company does not expect to generate net positive cash for the foreseeable future. Accordingly, the Company will be dependent on its unrestricted cash and other sources of cash to fund the business. As discussed in Note 13 - Stockholders’ Equity in the Notes to the Financial Statements, the Company raised gross proceeds of approximately $194.4 million in March 2022, before deduction of commissions and expenses, through the following equity financings:

•On March 14, 2022, the Company entered into the Subscription Agreements with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and 2176423 Ontario Limited pursuant to which the Company sold on March 15, 2022 an aggregate of 46,816,480 units, each unit consisting of one share of common stock and one warrant to purchase one share of common stock, at a purchase price of $1.193 per unit for total gross proceeds, before deduction of fees and expenses, of $55.9 million.

•On March 15, 2022, the Company implemented the ATM Program. On March 25, 2022, the Company terminated the ATM Program and announced that it had sold 89,553,584 shares of common stock under the ATM Program and generated aggregate gross proceeds before commissions and offering expenses of approximately $138.6 million.

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.

To avoid potential non-compliance with the Sprott Credit Agreement, the Company obtained a series of waivers and entered into amendments to the Sprott Credit Agreement. Please see Debt Covenants below and Note 9 - Debt, Net in the Notes to the Financial Statements for information regarding additional waivers received and modifications to the Sprott Credit Agreement, including the Second A&R Agreement.

The Company's future liquidity and capital resources management strategy entails a disciplined approach to monitor the timing and depth of any drilling, metallurgical and mineralogical studies and the continuation of processing the remaining leach pad inventory while attempting to remain in a position that allows the Company to respond to changes in the business environment, such as a decrease in metal prices or lower than forecasted future cash flows, and changes in other factors beyond the Company's control. The Company has undertaken efforts aimed at managing its liquidity and preserving its capital resources by, among other things: (i) monitoring metal prices and the impacts (near-term and future) they have on the business and cash flows; (ii) ceasing open pit mining operations to reduce net cash outflows while continuing to process leach pad inventory until such time as it is no longer economic; (iii) reducing the size of the workforce to reflect the cessation of mining operations; (iv) controlling working capital and managing discretionary spending; (v) reviewing contractor usage and rental agreements for more economic options, including termination of certain agreements in accordance with their terms; (vi) decreasing restricted cash balances that collateralize bonds, as available; and (vii) planning the timing and amounts of capital expenditures and drilling, metallurgical and mineralogical study costs at the Hycroft Mine and deferring such items that are not expected to benefit our near term operating plans. The Company has undertaken and continues to undertake additional efforts to: (i) monetize non-core assets and excess materials and supplies inventories; (ii) return excess rental and leased equipment; (iii) sell certain uninstalled grinding mills that are not expected to be needed for a future milling operation; (iv) sell other uninstalled grinding mills if the proceeds contribute to enhancing a future milling operation; and (v) work with existing debt holders to adjust debt service requirements.

Cash and liquidity

The Company has placed substantially all of its cash in operating accounts with a well-capitalized financial institution, thereby ensuring balances remain readily available. Due to the nature of its operations and the composition of current assets, Cash and metal inventories represent substantially all of the liquid assets on hand. Additionally, the Company is provided with additional liquidity as ounces are recovered from the Ore on leach pads, processed into finished goods, and sold at prevailing spot prices to customers.

Table of Contents

The following table summarizes projected sources of future liquidity, as recorded within the Financial Statements (dollars in thousands):


	June 30, 2022		December 31, 2021
Cash	$	157,781	$	12,342
Metal inventories(1)	13,158		6,693

Assets held-for-sale	10,298		11,558
Total projected sources of future liquidity	$	181,237	$	40,699

(1)Metal inventories contained approximately 8,247 recoverable ounces of gold that are expected to be sold within the next 12 months. Assuming a gold selling price of $1,817 per ounce (the June 30, 2022 P.M. fix) and excluding any proceeds from silver sales, the sale of all gold ounces estimated to be recovered from metal inventories would provide $15.0 million of revenue. See Note 3 - Inventories and Ore on Leach Pads to the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

(2)As of June 30, 2022, the Company had recovered all previously estimated gold and silver ounces previously placed on the leach pads. See Note 3 - Inventories and Ore on Leach Pads to the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Table of Contents

For the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company used $9.1 million in investing activities which primarily related to expenditures of (i) $3.7 million for purchased equipment and refurbishments; (ii) $2.9 million related to metallurgical and mineralogical studies; and (iii) $2.5 million spent on the leach pad expansion project (which excluded $0.7 million of capitalized interest) to complete construction to the appropriate point at which the Company believed that there would be minimal risk of adverse impacts to the leach pad.

Cash provided by (used in) financing activities

During the six months ended June 30, 2022, cash provided by financing activities of $164.0 million was primarily related to the equity offerings completed during the period: (i) the Private Placement offering completed on March 15, 2022 for gross proceeds of $55.9 million, and (ii) the ATM Program completed on March 25, 2022 for net proceeds of $133.6 million. These amounts were offset by the required prepayments under the Second A&R Agreement of $24.4 million, including $0.5 million of additional interest.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company repaid $0.6 million of the Additional Interest which was classified as debt under the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement.

Future capital and cash requirements

The following table provides the Company’s gross contractual cash obligations as of June 30, 2022, which are grouped in the same manner as they are classified in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows in order to provide a better understanding of the nature of the obligations and to provide a basis for comparison to historical information. The Company believes that the following provides the most meaningful presentation of near-term obligations expected to be satisfied using current and available sources of liquidity (dollars in thousands):

(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 estimates of the current life-of-mine plan for mineral resources and are based on consensus pricing for gold and silver. See Note 10 - Deferred Gain on Sale of Royalty to the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

(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 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 $33.5 million of cash collateral for those bonds included in Restricted Cash.

(3)The Company is required to pay a 4% net profits 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 (“Crofoot Royalty”). See Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies to 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.

(4)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

Table of Contents

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 9 - Debt, Net to the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

(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 the maturity date. See Note 9 - Debt, Net to the Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Debt covenants

The Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement) contains covenants that, among other things, restrict or limit the ability of the Company to enter into encumbrances (other than Permitted Encumbrances), incur indebtedness (other than Permitted Indebtedness), dispose of its assets (other than Permitted Disposals), pay dividends, and purchase or redeem shares, as such terms are defined in the Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement). The Sprott Credit Agreement (as amended by the Second A&R Agreement) requires the Company to ensure that, at all times, both its Working Capital and Unrestricted Cash are at least $10.0 million (subsequently reduced by the Waiver and Waiver Amendment 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. As of June 30, 2022, the Company was in compliance with all covenants under its debt agreements.

On February 28, 2022, the Company entered into the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment with the Lender amending the November 2021 Waiver. Pursuant to the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment, the Lender: (i) waived the Company’s obligation under the Sprott Credit Agreement to maintain at least $9.0 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of each calendar month during the period ending May 10, 2022 (the “Waiver Period”), provided that, the Company maintained at least $7.5 million of Unrestricted Cash on the last day of February 2022 and at least $9.0 million on the last day of each month thereafter during the Waiver Period; (ii) waived all obligations of the Company to prepay the facility with the net cash proceeds of any Mill Asset Sales (as defined in the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment) until the earlier of: (A) the date on which the Company completes a private placement or other offering or issuance of its equity securities (the “Offering Date”); and (B) March 31, 2022; and (iii) extended the payment due date for the additional February interest payment and the February principal payment until the earlier of: (A) the Offering Date; and (B) March 31, 2022. Further, pursuant to the February 2022 Waiver and Amendment, any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of the preceding sentence would constitute an immediate Event of Default under the Credit Agreement.

On March 11, 2022, the Company entered into the March 2022 Sprott Agreement with the Lender with respect to the Sprott Credit Agreement. As described in the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, the Company was contemplating Equity Financing Transactions to be completed on or before March 31, 2022. Pursuant to the March 2022 Sprott Agreement, if the Equity Financing Transactions result (or 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.

Table of Contents

On March 14, 2022, the Company reached an agreement in principle with the Lender to modify the terms of the Sprott Credit Agreement and other applicable loan documents. On March 30, 2022, the Company and Lender under the Sprott Credit Agreement entered into the Second A&R Agreement, which: (a) extended the maturity date for all of the loans and other principal obligations under the Sprott Credit Facility by two years, to May 31, 2027; (b) provided for the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment in the amount of $10.0 million promptly upon the Company’s receipt of cash proceeds from the Private Placement; (c) provided for the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments in the amount of $13.9 million (representing 10% of the subsequent issuance of its equity interests consummated on or prior to March 31, 2022); and (d) eliminated the prepayment premiums otherwise payable with respect to the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment, the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments and all future prepayments of principal under the Sprott Credit Facility. In addition, the Company’s obligations to: (i) prepay principal with proceeds of asset sales were credited/offset by the $23.9 million aggregate amount of Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment and the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayments; and (ii) to maintain a minimum amount of Unrestricted Cash was increased to $15.0 million. Pursuant to the agreement in principle, the Company made the Initial Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $10.0 million and paid in kind a $3.3 million fee in connection with the modification and capitalized it to principal on March 16, 2022 and following the execution of the Second A&R Agreement on March 30, 2022, the Company: (i) paid the previously deferred additional interest payment of $0.5 million; and (ii) made the Subsequent Equity Proceeds Prepayment of $13.9 million. After giving effect to such prepayments the outstanding principal balance under the Second A&R Agreement was estimated as of June 30, 2022 to be $57.9 million (before issuance discounts) including unpaid additional interest of approximately $7.1 million.

Off-balance sheet arrangements

As of June 30, 2022, the Company’s off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of a net profit royalty arrangement and a net smelter royalty arrangement (see Note 21 - Commitments and Contingencies to the Notes to the Financial Statements).

Accounting Developments

The following accounting pronouncements were adopted by the Company during the six months ended June 30, 2022:

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.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

As the Company qualifies as 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. Internal control over financial reporting is promulgated under the Exchange Act as a process designed by, or under the supervision of, our principal executive and principal financial officers and effected by our Board of Directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Internal control over financial reporting, no matter how well designed, has inherent limitations and may not prevent or detect misstatements. Therefore, even effective internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the financial statement preparation and presentation.

Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures, as required by Rules 13a-15(b) and 15d-15(b) under the Exchange Act as of June 30, 2022.

Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2022 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.

Part II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

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

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

As the Company qualifies as a smaller reporting company under Item 10(f) of Regulation S-K, risk factors are not required to be included in a Quarterly Report and such are omitted from this filing.

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

On July 28, 2022, the Company issued 1,714,678 shares of common stock to a financial advisor as consideration for entering into a settlement agreement. The number of shares issued was determined using the volume weighted average price on the Nasdaq Capital Market for the 10 trading days preceding the effective date of the agreement. See Note 21 - Commitment and Contingencies and Note 23 - Subsequent Events to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further details.

ITEM 3. DEFAULTS UPON SENIOR SECURITIES

None.

ITEM 4. MINE SAFETY DISCLOSURES

Safety and health is our highest priority, which is why we have a mandatory mine safety and health program that includes employee and contractor training, risk management, workplace inspection, emergency response, accident investigation, and program auditing. We consider this program to be essential at all levels to ensure that our employees, contractors, and visitors are always in an environment that is safe and healthy.

The information concerning mine safety violations or other regulatory matters required by Section 1503(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act and Item 104 of Regulation S-K is included in Exhibit 95.1 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 5. OTHER INFORMATION

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

(b)Not applicable.
