WINNEMUCCA, Nev., Nov. 9, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (Nasdaq:
HYMC) ("Hycroft" or "the Company") today announced that the
Company's board of directors has resolved to effectuate a reverse
stock split of Hycroft's issued and outstanding Class A common
stock ("Common Stock") and has determined the ratio to be 1-for-10.
Hycroft's stockholders previously approved the reverse stock split
and granted the board of directors the authority to determine the
exact split ratio and when to proceed with the reverse stock split
at the Company's Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on May
24, 2023.
The reverse stock split will become effective on November
14, 2023, at 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, ("Effective Time") and
the Company's Common Stock is expected to begin trading on a
reverse stock split-adjusted basis on the Nasdaq Capital Market
("Nasdaq") as of the open of trading on November 15, 2023,
under the existing ticker symbol, "HYMC." The reverse stock split
is intended to increase the price per share of the Company's Common
Stock to allow the Company to demonstrate compliance with
the $1.00 minimum bid price requirement for continued
listing on Nasdaq.
As of the Effective Time, every 10 shares of the Company's
issued and outstanding Common Stock will be combined into one
issued and outstanding share of Common Stock. The par value per
share of our Common Stock will remain unchanged at $0.0001.
Proportional adjustments will be made to the number of shares of
Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Company's
outstanding warrants, options and restricted stock units, and the
number of shares authorized and reserved for issuance pursuant to
the Company's equity incentive plans. The total number of
authorized shares of Common Stock and preferred stock will not be
reduced and remain at 1,400,000,000 and 10,000,000 shares,
respectively. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of
the reverse stock split; rather, the Company's transfer agent will
aggregate all fractional shares remaining after the reverse stock
split and sell them on the open market on behalf of those
stockholders who would otherwise be entitled to receive a
fractional share, and after the transfer agent's completion of such
sale, stockholders will receive a cash payment (without interest or
deduction) from the transfer agent in an amount equal to their
respective pro rata share of the total net proceeds of that
sale.
The Company's transfer agent, Continental Stock & Trust
Company, will serve as the exchange agent for the reverse stock
split. Registered stockholders holding pre-reverse stock split
shares of Common Stock electronically in book-entry form are not
required to take any action to receive post-reverse stock split
shares. Those stockholders who hold their shares in brokerage
accounts or in "street name" will have their positions
automatically adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split, subject
to each broker's particular processes, and will not be required to
take any action in connection with the reverse stock split.
Additional information about the reverse stock split can be
found in Hycroft's definitive proxy statement filed with
the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 13,
2023, a copy of which is available at www.sec.gov.

"may", "can", "will", "would", "could", "should", "seeks", or
"scheduled to" and similar words or expressions, or negatives of
these terms or other variations of these terms or comparable
language or any discussion of strategy or intention identify
forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements address
activities, events, or developments that the Company expects or
anticipates will or may occur in the future and are based on

the price of gold and silver; the commercial success of, and risks
related to, our exploration and development activities;
uncertainties and risks related to our reliance on contractors and
consultants; availability and cost of equipment, supplies, energy,

mineral reserve, as ranges of potential tonnage and grade (or
quality) of the exploration target are conceptual in nature; there
has been insufficient exploration of the relevant property or
properties to estimate a mineral resource; and it is uncertain if
further exploration will result in the estimation of a mineral
resource. These risks may include the following, and the
