NioCorp Developments Ltd. introduced a formal Company-wide annual incentive program and approved fiscal 2026 cash awards for its executives and other employees. The new Annual Incentive Program is designed to tie pay more closely to corporate milestones, safety, and individual performance across the organization.
Under the program for fiscal 2026, performance was weighted 45% on Board-approved corporate milestones related to project development, financing, permitting and execution readiness, 10% on safety results, and 45% on individual objectives. Cash awards for 2026 mark the first payouts under this structure, after no cash bonuses were paid to named executive officers for fiscal 2025.
For fiscal 2026, Chief Executive Officer Mark A. Smith received an approved award of $602,784, Chief Financial Officer Neal S. Shah received $345,621, and Chief Operating Officer Scott Honan received $378,197, generally payable around July 15, 2026.
NioCorp Developments Ltd. reported results from its April 6, 2026 annual meeting, where shareholders approved an amended and restated shareholder rights plan and an updated long-term incentive plan.
The amended rights plan now runs until the company’s 2027 annual general meeting, unless earlier redeemed or terminated by the board and subject to no Flip-In Event occurring. This extends the company’s protective framework against certain concentrated share accumulations.
Shareholders also approved the 2017 Amended Long-Term Incentive Plan, which replaces a prior “evergreen” structure with a fixed pool of up to 11,300,000 common shares for options, share units and dividend equivalents, subject to specified share-counting and adjustment rules. All six director nominees were elected, Deloitte & Touche LLP was reappointed as auditor, executive compensation received majority advisory support, and the amendments to both the incentive plan and rights plan were approved.
NioCorp Developments Ltd. completed a U.S. public offering of 20,000,000 common shares (or pre-funded warrants in lieu thereof) at $5.00 per share (or $4.9999 per pre-funded warrant), generating gross proceeds of approximately $100.0 million and net proceeds of about $93.6 million after fees and expenses.
The deal was conducted on a reasonable best-efforts basis with Maxim Group LLC as exclusive placement agent and closed on February 25, 2026. It included 17,400,000 common shares and 2,600,000 pre-funded warrants, each warrant exercisable for one common share at $0.0001 with no expiry and a 4.99% or, upon notice, 9.99% beneficial ownership cap. Company executives and directors agreed to a 30‑day lock-up on sales, and the company agreed to 60‑day restrictions on most new equity issuances and price-reset securities.
NioCorp currently intends to use the net proceeds for working capital and general corporate purposes, including advancing its Elk Creek critical minerals project in Southeast Nebraska toward commercial operation.

The company states that the press release and its information are being furnished rather than filed, meaning they are not subject to Section 18 liability and are not automatically incorporated into other Securities Act or Exchange Act filings.
NioCorp Developments Ltd. reported that its board approved a limited-duration shareholder rights plan effective November 21, 2025. The plan is designed to ensure equal treatment of shareholders in the event of an unsolicited take-over bid and is not being adopted in response to any specific proposal. It will expire on May 21, 2026 unless earlier redeemed or waived.
As of the December 4, 2025 record time, one right will attach to each common share, with future shares carrying a right until the plan expires or separates. The rights become exercisable if a person acquires 20% or more of voting shares outside a permitted bid, triggering a flip‑in event. In that case, other shareholders can buy additional shares at an effective 50% discount; for example, assuming a $10 market price, a holder could acquire six shares for $30. The company also outlines permitted bids, lock‑up agreements, and the board’s ability to waive, amend, or redeem the rights.

The transaction, conducted on a reasonable “best efforts” basis, closed on October 15, 2025 and generated approximately $139.1 million in net proceeds.
Each pre-funded warrant is exercisable for one Common Share at $0.0001, is exercisable immediately with no expiration, and includes beneficial ownership limits of 4.99% or 9.99% (adjustable with 61 days’ notice).
