ITEM 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 3, 2026, SSR Mining Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the “Company”), entered into a binding memorandum of understanding (the “MoU”) with Cengiz Holding A.S. (“Cengiz Holding”) to sell its 80% ownership interest in the Çöpler mine and related properties in Türkiye (collectively, “Çöpler”) for $1.5 billion (the “Purchase Price”) in cash (the “Transaction”). The Transaction excludes the Company’s interests in the Hod Maden development project. Cengiz Holding is required to pay a deposit of $100 million within ten business days of the date of the MoU, which is creditable against the Purchase Price at the closing or refundable (in full or partially) in certain limited circumstances. The Purchase Price and the deposit are payable in U.S. dollars.

The parties have agreed to negotiate in good faith and use their reasonable best efforts to finalize and execute definitive agreements that will set forth the terms of the Transaction and will be consistent with the MoU within 21 calendar days of the date of the MoU. The definitive agreements will contain limited representations from the Company related to its ownership of Çöpler, its ability to enter into the agreements and other matters. Cengiz Holding’s obligation to proceed with the Transaction is subject to the satisfactory completion of limited due diligence related to mineral reserves and resources at Çöpler, but is not subject to the receipt of operational or other permits or licenses related to Çöpler, nor is it subject to any financing contingency. Either party has the right to terminate the MoU at any time upon notice to the other party, subject to the payment of a termination fee in the amount of $50 million.

The Purchase Price is subject to adjustment at closing in the following circumstances: (a) after the parties agree on a final Transaction structure, which will increase or decrease the Purchase Price by $50 million, and (b) for working capital balances and certain other potential amounts owed to third parties at the closing of the Transaction.

The MoU contemplates that the closing of the Transaction will occur no later than 120 calendar days from the execution of the definitive agreements and will be subject to receipt of regulatory approval from the Turkish General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs, as well as other consents and approvals that may be required in connection with the Transaction, and other customary conditions.

The foregoing description of the MoU does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the MoU, which the Company intends to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2026.

ITEM 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

On March 4, 2026, the Company issued a news release announcing the entering into of the MoU, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information presented in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
