The filing of this Amendment No. 9 shall not be construed as an admission that a Reporting Person beneficially owns those shares held by any other Reporting Person.

 

Mudrick Opportunity Fund and Mudrick GP may be deemed to beneficially own 6,370,296 shares of HYMC Common Stock and 1,991,861 shares of HYMC Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 1,991,861 warrants, which represents approximately 4.1% of the outstanding shares of HYMC Common Stock (based on 201,762,460 shares of HYMC Common Stock outstanding, which includes the (i) Outstanding HYMC Shares, and (ii) 1,991,861 shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants directly held by Mudrick Opportunity Fund).

Mudrick Drawdown Fund II may be deemed to beneficially own 1,449,019 shares of HYMC Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of 1,449,019 warrants, which represents approximately 0.7% of the outstanding shares of HYMC Common Stock (based on 201,219,618 shares of HYMC Common Stock outstanding, which includes the (i) Outstanding HYMC Shares, and (ii) 1,449,019 issuable under upon the exercise of warrants directly held by Mudrick Drawdown Fund II).

By virtue of the relationship described herein, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to constitute a “group” within the meaning of Rule 13d-5 under the Act. The filing of this Amendment No. 9 shall not be construed as an admission that the Reporting Persons beneficially own those securities held by another member of such group. In addition, each Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities reported herein except to the extent such Reporting Person actually exercises voting or dispositive power with respect to such securities.
