This Amendment No. 4 (“Amendment No. 4”) amends and supplements the statement on Schedule 13D (as amended from time to time, the “Schedule 13D”) originally filed by the Reporting Persons on June 8, 2020, as amended by that certain amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 1, 2021, that certain amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on June 10, 2021, and that certain amendment No. 3 (“Amendment No. 3”) to Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons on November 12, 2021, and relates to the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “HYMC Common Stock”), of Hycroft Mining Holding Corporation, a Delaware corporation (formerly known as Mudrick Capital Acquisition Corporation, the “Company or “HYMC” or, prior to the business combination as described in the Schedule 13D, “MUDS”). Each Item below amends and supplements the information disclosed under the corresponding Item of the Schedule 13D. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 4 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 or Amendment No. 3. Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not defined in this Amendment No. 4 shall have the meaning assigned to such term in the Schedule 13D, Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2 or Amendment No. 3.

 

Explanatory Note: This Amendment No. 4 is filed not as a result of any transaction by the Reporting Persons, but rather due to a reduction in the percentage of the HYMC Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons from an increase in the number of shares of HYMC Common Stock outstanding, as disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on March 15, 2022, as a result of issuances by the Company of shares of Class A Common Stock to parties other than the Reporting Persons.
