Hycroft Mining Holding Corp Adopts Bylaws Amendment Setting 1/3 Quorum

What Happened

  • Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation (HYMC) announced on February 3, 2026 that its Board of Directors approved and adopted the First Amendment to the Company's Amended and Restated Bylaws.
  • The Amendment revises Section 2.4 (Quorum) to provide that, unless a different standard is required by law, the certificate of incorporation, or the bylaws, the presence (in person or by proxy) of holders of shares representing one‑third (1/3) of the voting power of outstanding shares entitled to vote constitutes a quorum for stockholder meetings.

Key Details

  • Date approved: February 3, 2026 (filed on Form 8‑K on Feb 4, 2026).
  • Quorum set: one‑third (1/3) of the voting power of outstanding shares entitled to vote.
  • Class voting: when a class or series votes as a class, a one‑third (1/3) quorum of that class/series is required for business affecting that class/series.
  • The full text of the First Amendment is filed as an exhibit to the Form 8‑K.

Why It Matters

  • Quorum rules determine how many shares must be represented to conduct valid shareholder business; setting a one‑third quorum can change how easily meetings proceed and votes are validated.
  • For investors, this amendment affects the mechanics of shareholder meetings and proxy contests (how many votes are needed to constitute a meeting), so it’s a procedural governance change that could influence future corporate votes and engagement efforts.
