The Company has been primarily focused on polymetallic nodules found on the seafloor in international waters of the Clarion Clipperton Zone in the Pacific Ocean (the “CCZ”), approximately 1,500 miles (2,400 kilometers) southwest of San Diego, California. These nodules contain high grades of nickel, copper, cobalt and manganese, as well as rare earth elements, which the Company plans to process into nickel-, cobalt- and copper-bearing intermediate and high-purity refined metal products and a manganese silicate product of approximately 40% manganese comparable to medium-grade manganese ore.</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, The Metals Company USA, LLC (“TMC USA”), has two applications pending with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (“NOAA”) under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act of 1980 (“DSHMRA”): a consolidated application for an exploration license and commercial recovery permit over approximately 65,000 square kilometers in the USA-A area of the CCZ, submitted on January 22, 2026 (the “USA-A Application”), and an exploration license application over approximately 122,000 square kilometers in the USA-B area, submitted on April 28, 2025 (the “USA-B Application”). In April 2025, TMC USA originally submitted separate applications for an exploration license and a commercial recovery permit covering the USA-A area. Following NOAA’s adoption of revised regulations in January 2026 permitting consolidated applications, the USA-A Application superseded those earlier applications and increased the proposed commercial recovery area from approximately 25,000 to approximately 65,000 square kilometers. NOAA determined that the USA-A Application was in full compliance with DSHMRA requirements on April 28, 2026 and published it in the Federal Register on August 19, 2026, and the USA-A Application is now in the certification stage. NOAA determined that the USA-B Application was in substantial compliance with DSHMRA requirements on May 28, 2025 and in full compliance on August 11, 2025. NOAA published notice of the USA-B Application in the Federal Register on December 23, 2025, followed by a public comment period and public hearings in January 2026. NOAA certified the USA-B Application on May 26, 2026 and, on August 17, 2026, published in the Federal Register a Notice of Intent to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) for it. Issuance of any license or permit remains subject to completion of NOAA’s review, including, for the USA-A Application, certification and, for each application, an EIS, a public comment period and NOAA’s final determination. On September 30, 2026, two non-governmental organizations filed suit against NOAA in the United States District Court for the District of Hawaii challenging NOAA’s certification of the USA-B Application and seeking an order vacating that certification. Neither the Company nor TMC USA is named as a defendant and no damages are sought from the Company or any of its subsidiaries.</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span><br/></span></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiaries Nauru Ocean Resources Inc.

On July 20, 2026, the Council of the ISA approved a five-year extension of NORI’s exploration contract to July 21, 2031. TOML has applied for a five-year extension of its exploration contract, which is due to expire on January 11, 2027. The ISA is conducting an inquiry into the possible non-compliance of NORI and TOML with their exploration contracts, which NORI and TOML dispute and have challenged before the Seabed Disputes Chamber of the International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea (Note 17).</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:12pt;padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The realization of the Company’s assets and attainment of profitable operations depend on, among other things, obtaining financing to complete the commercial nodule collection system and to scale up the processing technology for polymetallic nodules to commercial levels, establishing mineable reserves, the commercial and technical feasibility of seafloor polymetallic nodule collection and processing, metal prices, and obtaining regulatory approvals and permits for commercial operations.

The initial acquisition closed on June 1, 2026, for $125.0 million in cash and $7.5 million in TMCR common shares with the cash consideration funded through a combination of a private placement, borrowings under a senior secured credit facility and a portion of the previously paid transaction deposit.

TMCR may also be required to issue additional common shares as top-up consideration if its five-day volume-weighted average share price on August 24, 2027 is below $6.00 per share. The cash consideration was funded primarily through TMCR's issuance of $140.0 million of convertible notes and a $25.0 million term loan, the proceeds of which were also used to repay TMCR’s existing senior secured credit facility in full.</span></div><div style="padding-left:18pt;text-align:justify"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:112%">During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, TMCR issued 5,406,148 and 16,524,245 common shares, respectively, in connection with an equity offering, share-based compensation and its royalty acquisitions.

International Seabed Authority, Case No. 34, and Tonga Offshore Mining Ltd. v. International Seabed Authority, Case No. 35. The applications allege that the ISA failed to afford due process, transparency and fairness in its inquiries into the possible non-compliance of NORI and TOML with their exploration contracts and, for NORI, in its consideration of NORI’s application to extend its exploration contract. On July 18, 2026, the Chamber issued orders prescribing provisional measures requiring the ISA to act in accordance with the applicable legal framework, including rules of due process, to provide NORI and TOML the information they need to respond meaningfully, and to cooperate with NORI and TOML and refrain from aggravating the dispute. The Chamber did not suspend the inquiries, as NORI and TOML had requested. NORI, TOML and the ISA were each required to submit an initial compliance report to the Chamber by August 31, 2026. The orders do not prejudge the Chamber’s jurisdiction over the merits, which remain to be briefed and heard, and the ISA’s deadline to file its defense on the merits is March 30, 2027.
