From time to time, the Company and its subsidiaries have become involved in litigation relating to claims arising out of operations in the normal course of business. Information regarding legal proceedings is contained in Note 19 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference. On March 9, 2026, Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”), the former indirect parent company of CC&V, and CC&V (as a Nominal Plaintiff in the Action), filed a lawsuit in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (Civil Action No. 26-cv-00952), against the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment and the Colorado Water Quality Control Division, seeking a declaratory judgment that outflows from the Carlton Tunnel do not require a permit under either the federal Clean Water Act or the Colorado Water Quality Control Act (the “Action”). The complaint asserts that no discharge permit is required because the Carlton Tunnel outflows are an exempt water transfer between waters of the United States, the constituents at issue were not added by human activity, and the underground water is not meaningfully distinct from the receiving waters of Fourmile Creek. Newmont is a plaintiff in the Action because it retained certain rights under the agreement by which the Company acquired CC&V to pursue regulatory relief with respect to the Carlton Tunnel. CC&V is listed as a Nominal Plaintiff in the Action. On June 26, 2026, defendants moved to dismiss the Action. The plaintiffs intend to oppose the motion, which will be fully briefed by August 2026 and pending review by the federal court. On March 18, 2024 and March 22, 2024, two related putative securities class actions, Karam Akhras v. SSR Mining Inc., et. al., Case No. 24-cv-00739 and Eric Lindemann v. SSR Mining Inc., et. al., Case No. 24-cv-00808, were filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado (collectively, the “U.S. Securities Actions”). The U.S. Securities Actions assert claims for alleged violations of Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder against the Company, as well as certain of its current and former members of management (the “Individual Defendants”, and together with the Company, the “Defendants”) and for alleged violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act against the Individual Defendants. The complaints allege that certain public statements made by the Defendants were rendered materially false and misleading with respect to, among other things, the adequacy of the Company’s internal controls relating to its safety practices and operational integrity at its Çöpler mining facility in Türkiye. On August 2, 2024, the U.S. Securities Actions were consolidated as Consolidated Civil Action No. 1:24-cv-00739-DDD-SBP (the “Consolidated U.S. Securities Action”) and the court appointed lead counsel and a lead plaintiff for the putative class. On October 15, 2024, the lead plaintiff filed a consolidated amended complaint and the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss that complaint. On September 30, 2025, the court dismissed the Consolidated U.S. Securities Action, but granted the lead plaintiff leave to amend. The lead plaintiff filed a second consolidated amended complaint on November 5, 2025 and the Defendants filed a motion to dismiss that complaint on January 9, 2026. On July 17, 2026, the court granted the Defendants’ motion to dismiss with prejudice. The lead plaintiff has 30 days from the date of the dismissal to appeal the decision to the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals. Additionally, two putative securities class actions, Glenna Padley v. SSR Mining Inc., et. al. (the “Padley Action”) and Abdurrazag Mutat v. SSR Mining Inc., et al. (the “Mutat Action”) were filed on March 27, 2024, and April 23, 2024, respectively, in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (the “BC Actions”). Two additional putative securities class actions, Chao Liang v. SSR Mining Inc., et. al. (the “Liang Action”) and Michael Jones v. SSR Mining., et. al. (the “Jones Action”), were filed on April 5, 2024, and May 1, 2024, respectively, in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice (the “Ontario Actions” and together with the BC Actions, the “Canadian Securities Actions”). The Canadian Securities Actions assert claims for alleged misrepresentations by the Defendants at common law and in contravention of applicable Provincial securities law disclosure obligations. On August 9, 2024, carriage of the proposed Ontario Actions was granted to the Liang Action. The Jones Action is stayed as of such decision. On April 11, 2025, carriage of the proposed BC Actions was granted to the Padley Action. The Mutat Action is stayed as of such decision. On April 14, 2026, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice stayed the Liang Action until further order of the court or final determination of the Padley Action. The Consolidated U.S. Securities Action and Canadian Securities Actions seek unspecified compensatory damages on behalf of the putative class members. The Company, along with the Individual Defendants, are defending themselves against these claims. 57 Table of Contents
