SSR Mining Announces Normal Course Issuer Bid

Key Terms

normal course issuer bid regulatory

A Normal Course Issuer Bid is when a company buys back its own shares from the stock market over time. This usually shows that the company believes its stock is undervalued and wants to support its price, which can be important for investors to watch.

public float financial

Public float is the total number of a company's shares that are available for trading by the general public. It excludes shares held by company insiders or large stakeholders who are unlikely to sell them easily. This figure helps investors understand how much of the company's stock is actively available, which can influence its liquidity and how easily its price might change.

accelerated share repurchase financial

An accelerated share repurchase is a deal where a company hires a bank to buy back a large block of its own stock immediately on the open market, with the bank later settling the exact number of shares over time. For investors it matters because the immediate reduction in shares outstanding can raise per‑share earnings and often supports the stock price, but it also uses company cash or borrowing and can change liquidity and future growth funding.

automatic share purchase plan financial

An automatic share purchase plan is a pre-arranged agreement that allows investors to buy a set amount of a company's shares at regular intervals without needing to make individual decisions each time. It helps investors steadily build their holdings over time, much like setting a recurring deposit into a savings account, making investing more disciplined and less influenced by short-term market fluctuations.

derivative transactions technical

Derivative transactions are contracts whose value depends on the price or performance of something else—like stocks, bonds, currencies, interest rates or commodities. Think of them as insurance or bets about a future price: investors use them to protect against losses, lock in prices, or try to amplify returns, but they can also magnify losses, create cash demands and expose a firm to the risk that the other party won’t meet its obligation, so they can materially affect a company’s financial stability and volatility.

block purchase exemptions regulatory

Block purchase exemptions are rules or allowances that let large buyers or sellers execute a single, sizable trade outside the normal public trading process without triggering the usual regulatory steps designed for smaller, retail trades. Think of it like allowing a warehouse-sized order to be handled privately so it doesn’t flood the public marketplace; for investors this matters because such deals can provide quick liquidity and avoid big price swings, but they can also change supply or signal insider moves that affect a stock’s price.

DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining" or the “Company") is pleased to announce that it has filed with and received acceptance from the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) for a Notice of Intention to make a Normal Course Issuer Bid (“NCIB”) under the requirements of the TSX, permitting SSR Mining to purchase for cancellation up to 21,502,189 common shares of the Company (“Common Shares”), representing approximately 10.0% of the public float of SSR Mining’s total issued and outstanding Common Shares. As of March 26, 2026, SSR Mining had 216,507,895 issued and outstanding Common Shares. This announcement follows SSR Mining’s announcement on February 17, 2026 of its board’s approval of a Common Share buyback program, pursuant to which the Company is permitted to repurchase up to $300 million in Common Shares over a twelve-month period. The approval of the Common Share buyback program permits the Company to execute Common Share repurchases from time to time through a combination of open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, accelerated share repurchase transactions, automatic share purchase transactions in accordance with an automatic share purchase plan, and other derivative transactions.

SSR Mining believes that the market price of its Common Shares does not always reflect the underlying fundamental value and future growth prospects of the Common Shares. The actual number of Common Shares that may be purchased by SSR Mining, if any, and the timing of such purchases, will be determined by SSR Mining based on a number of factors, including market conditions, financial results, capital investment priorities, the Company’s valuation, and other opportunities to return capital to shareholders.

Under the NCIB, SSR Mining may purchase Common Shares over the next twelve-month period beginning March 31, 2026 and ending March 30, 2027. The exact timing and amount of any purchases will depend on market conditions and other factors. Under the NCIB, SSR Mining is not obligated to acquire any Common Shares and may suspend or discontinue purchases under the NCIB at any time. Any purchases made under the NCIB will be effected through the facilities of the TSX, Nasdaq and/or alternative Canadian and United States trading systems. Any purchases made pursuant to the NCIB will be made in accordance with the rules of the TSX, applicable U.S. securities laws and will be made at the market price at the time of the purchase. Under the NCIB, other than purchases made under block purchase exemptions, the Company may purchase up to 114,131 Common Shares on the TSX during any trading day, such number being 25% of 456,527 Common Shares, which is the average daily trading volume on the TSX for the most recently completed six calendar months prior to the TSX’s acceptance of the notice of the NCIB.

The Company intends to enter into an automatic share purchase plan to be effective March 31, 2026 during the term of the NCIB to allow the Company to purchase Common Shares under the NCIB when the Company would ordinarily not be permitted to purchase Common Shares due to regulatory restrictions and customary self-imposed blackout periods.
