SSR MINING INC

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 20 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements contained in this Report and is incorporated herein by reference.

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 “US Securities Actions”). The US 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 US Securities Actions were consolidated as Consolidated Civil Action No. 1:24-cv-00739-DDD-SBP (the “Consolidated US Securities Action”).

Additionally, two putative securities class actions, Glenna Padley v. SSR Mining Inc., et. al. and Abdurrazag Mutat v. SSR Mining Inc., et al., 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.

The Consolidated US 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.
