F1 In August 2023, Mr. Aguiar was awarded performance rights representing the contingent right to receive between $55,000 and $220,000 worth of Hecla Mining Company common stock based on Hecla Mining Company's Total Shareholder Return performance over the 3-year period (January 1, 2023 to December 31, 2025) relative to our peers, based on the following percentile rank within Hecla's peer group companies: 100th percentile rank among peers = maximum award at 200% of target ($220,000 in stock); 40th to 60th percentile rank among peers = target at grant value ($110,000 in stock(); and 25th percentile rank among peers = threshold award at 50% of target ($55,000 in stock).
F2 In reporting the number of performance rights at the time of the award, Mr. Aguiar assumed a target (i.e., $110,000 in stock), with the common stock valued at the closing price on the day of the award ($5.16), and therefore reported an award of 21,318 performance rights. Based on Hecla Mining Company's total shareholder return ranking, Mr. Aguiar's award value was 100% and he therefore received 21,318 shares in settlement of the award (with the shares valued at the $5.16 closing price on August 7, 2023).
