HYCROFT MINING HOLDING CORP 8-K

What Happened
Hycroft Mining Holding Corp (HYMC) filed an 8-K reporting that on February 5, 2026 Stephen A. Lang notified the Board he will not stand for reelection at the company’s 2026 Annual Meeting due to health reasons. Mr. Lang will continue to serve as Chair of the Board’s Nominating and Governance Committee and as a member of the Board, the Compensation Committee, and the Safety and Technical Committee until the 2026 Annual Meeting. The Board said his decision was not due to any disagreement with the company. The Board also set the 2026 Annual Meeting date for May 7, 2026.

Key Details

• Mr. Lang notified the Board on February 5, 2026 and will serve until the 2026 Annual Meeting (May 7, 2026).
• Because the meeting date moved by more than 30 days from the 2025 meeting anniversary, Rule 14a‑5(f) timing rules change and new submission deadlines apply.
• To be included in proxy materials under Rule 14a‑8, shareholder proposals must be received in writing at the company’s executive offices by February 16, 2026.
• Director nominations or proposals outside Rule 14a‑8 (per the Bylaws) also must be received by the company’s Secretary by February 16, 2026 (deliver to: Corporate Secretary, PO Box 3030, Winnemucca, NV 89446). Proxy-solicitation notices under Rule 14a‑19 must be delivered by March 8, 2026.

Why It Matters
A long-serving director’s decision not to seek reelection affects board composition and governance planning; investors may watch for any nominee announcements or changes to committee membership. Separately, the moved meeting date changes the deadlines for shareholder proposals, nominations and proxy-contest notices—important if you plan to submit proposals or back alternative director nominees (deadlines: Feb 16 and Mar 8, 2026).
