Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity

 

Warrants

 

We have 2,060,000 warrants outstanding at March 31, 2026, (December 31, 2025: 2,068,000 warrants) following the conversion of 8,000 warrants during the quarter, each with an exercise price of $8.02. The 2,060,000 warrants outstanding expire in April 2032. The warrants were issued as part of the Klondex acquisition purchase consideration in July 2018. Each warrant entitles the warrant holder to purchase one share of our common stock. We received $64,000 for the 8,000 warrants converted.

 

At-The-Market ("ATM") Equity Distribution Agreement

 

Pursuant to an equity distribution agreement dated February 18, 2021, we may offer and sell up to 60 million shares of our common stock from time to time to or through sales agents. Sales of the shares, if any, will be made by means of ordinary brokers transactions or as otherwise agreed between us and the agents as principals. Whether or not we engage in sales from time to time may depend on a variety of factors, including our share price, our cash resources, potential use of proceeds, customary black-out restrictions,

and whether we have any material inside information. The agreement can be terminated by us at any time. Any sales of shares under the agreement are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3. We did not sell any shares under ATM during the three months ended March 31, 2026. Since inception,
we have sold
59,802,012 shares under the ATM for total proceeds of $348.5 million, net of commissions and fees of $5.4 million.

 

Stock-based Compensation Plans

 

We have stock incentive plans for executives, directors and eligible employees, under which performance stock units, restricted stock units and shares of common stock are granted. For the three months ended March 31, 2026, stock-based compensation expense for restricted stock units and performance-based grants to employees, totaled $2.8 million (2025: $1.9 million). At March 31, 2026, there was $8.1 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation cost which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 1.4 years.

 

In connection with the vesting of incentive and share-based compensation, certain employees have in the past, at their election and when permitted by us, chosen to satisfy their minimum tax withholding obligations through net share settlement, pursuant to which we withhold the number of shares necessary to satisfy such withholding obligations and pays the obligations in cash. As a result, in the three months ended March 31, 2026, we withheld 47,134 shares valued at $1.2 million, or $24.63 per share. No shares were withheld during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

 

Common Stock Dividends

 

During the first quarter of 2026, our Board of Directors declared and we paid a quarterly dividend of $0.00375 per common share, pursuant to our dividend policy.
