**ITEM 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On March 3, 2026, SSR Mining Inc., a British Columbia corporation (the "Company"), announced that it had entered into a binding memorandum of understanding (the "MoU") with Cengiz Holding A.Ş. ("Cengiz Holding") to sell its 80% ownership interest in the Çöpler mine and related properties in Türkiye (collectively, "Çöpler") for $1.5 billion (the "Purchase Price") in cash.

As contemplated by the MoU, on March 24, 2026, the Company, its wholly owned subsidiary Alacer Gold Corp. S.à r.l. (the "Seller"), and Cengiz Holding entered into a share purchase agreement (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which Cengiz Holding agreed to acquire or have an affiliate acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares of Alacer Gold Madencilik A.Ş., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company through which the Company holds its interest in Çöpler, for a purchase price of $1.5 billion (subject to adjustments for certain cash, indebtedness and net working capital balances as well as for certain other amounts owed to third parties at the time of the closing) (the "Transaction"). The Transaction excludes the Company's interests in the Hod Maden development project. The Purchase Price is payable in U.S. dollars at closing.

The Purchase Agreement contains representations from the Seller limited to its ownership of Çöpler, its ability to enter into the Purchase Agreement and related agreements and other matters. The closing of the Transaction is expected to occur on or before July 22, 2026, and will be subject to receipt of regulatory approval from the Turkish General Directorate of Mining and Petroleum Affairs as well as other consents and approvals that may be required in connection with the Transaction, and other customary closing conditions. The Purchase Agreement contains customary termination rights for failure to obtain required consents or material breach by another party. The Purchase Agreement supersedes the MoU in all respects.

The Purchase Agreement contemplates the execution of a transition services agreement that will set forth certain services to be provided by the Company (or an affiliate) to the Çöpler business for a transition period following the closing of the Transaction.

As had been contemplated by the MoU, Cengiz Holding has deposited an amount of $100 million in escrow, which will be credited against the purchase price at the closing or refundable (in full or partially) in certain limited circumstances.

The foregoing description of the Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

**Item 2.06. Material Impairments.**

In connection with the Transaction described in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, on March 24, 2026, the Company determined that it expects to incur a non-cash charge between approximately $310 million and $340 million, as a result of the Purchase Price compared to the estimate of the current net asset value of the Çöpler mine. The Company expects that the non-cash charge will be recorded in the quarter ending March 31, 2026. The Çöpler mine will be classified as held for sale in the balance sheet as of March 31, 2026, and will be treated as a discontinued operation. The estimated non-cash charge reflects the Company's best estimate as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K; however, the Company continues to evaluate the amount of the charge.

**Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.**

On March 25, 2026, the Company issued a news release announcing the entering into of the Purchase Agreement, a copy of which is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information presented in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Adjustment Amount, in each case, updated as of the Closing. The Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form and its components shall be prepared in a manner consistent with the Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form and the other principles set forth in <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>. If the Purchaser does not deliver the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form within the aforementioned 45-day period in accordance with this <u>Section 2.5(a)</u>, then the Closing Payment shall be deemed to be the Purchase Price and there will be no adjustment pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5(a)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) The following procedures shall apply with respect to the review of the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) The Seller shall have a period of 30 days following the date of receipt by the Seller of the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form for its review thereof (the "<u>Review Period</u>"). During the Review Period, the Purchaser shall provide to the Seller and its Representatives reasonable access during normal business hours to relevant personnel and Representatives of the Purchaser and its Affiliates (including the Acquired Companies), relevant financial information of the Acquired Companies and other items reasonably requested by the Seller in connection with the Seller's review of the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form and any dispute with respect thereto as contemplated by this <u>Section 2.5</u>. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the foregoing, if there are any reasonable information requests made by the Seller which are outstanding as of the date that is five (5) Business Days prior to the date on which the Review Period would expire, the Review Period will automatically extend to the date that is five (5) Business Days after the last such request is reasonably satisfied.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If the Seller does not deliver to the Purchaser a written statement (a "<u>Notice of Disagreement</u>") describing any objections the Seller has to the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form (including reasonable detail of each item or amount in dispute, along with reasonable detail of the basis therefor) on or before the final day of the Review Period (as it may be extended), then the Seller shall be deemed to have irrevocably accepted the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form, and the Total Financial Adjustment Amount set forth in the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form delivered to the Seller shall be deemed to be final and binding for purposes of the adjustment contemplated by <u>Section 2.5(c)</u>. If the Seller delivers to the Purchaser a Notice of Disagreement on or before the final day of the Review Period, then only those matters specified in such Notice of Disagreement shall be deemed to be in dispute (such matters, the "<u>Disputed Items</u>"), and the Purchaser and the Seller shall consult in good faith to attempt to resolve in writing the Disputed Items within thirty (30) days after the Purchaser's receipt of the Notice of Disagreement (the "<u>Resolution Period</u>"). During the Resolution Period, the Purchaser shall grant the Seller and its Representatives the same access to its Affiliates' relevant personnel and Representatives and relevant financial information as during the Review Period. If the Purchaser and the Seller reach a resolution with respect to any Disputed Items on or before the final day of the Resolution Period, then such resolution on such Disputed Items shall be final and binding among the Parties, and if the Purchaser and the Seller reach a resolution on all Disputed Items, then the Total Financial Adjustment Amount so agreed shall be final and binding for purposes of the adjustment contemplated by <u>Section 2.5(c)</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If the Purchaser and the Seller do not reach a resolution of all Disputed Items by the end of the Resolution Period, then the Seller and the Purchaser shall retain the Neutral Accounting Firm (including by executing a customary agreement with the Neutral Accounting Firm in connection with its engagement) and submit any such unresolved Disputed Items (the "<u>Unresolved Objections</u>") to the Neutral Accounting Firm for resolution in accordance with this <u>Section 2.5(b)(iii)</u>. If the accounting firm designated in the definition of "Neutral Accounting Firm" declines or does not timely accept its engagement under this <u>Section 2.5(b)(iii)</u>, then each of the Seller and the Purchaser may request that the ICC International Centre for ADR appoints in accordance with the Rules for the Appointment of Experts and Neutrals of the International Chamber of Commerce another nationally recognized accounting firm to act as the Neutral Accounting Firm. The Neutral Accounting Firm shall be instructed to, and shall (A) make a final determination on an expedited basis with respect to each of the Unresolved Objections (and only the Unresolved Objections, except to the extent that the resolution of an Unresolved Objection has an implication on the determination of another item) that is (I) consistent with the terms of this Agreement, (II) within the range of the respective positions taken by each of the Seller and the Purchaser, and (III) based solely on written submissions by the Purchaser and the Seller with respect to the Unresolved Objections to the Neutral Accounting Firm as soon as reasonably practicable after submission of the Unresolved Objections to the Neutral Accounting Firm, and presentations made by each of the Purchaser and the Seller to the Neutral Accounting Firm; and (B) prepare and deliver to the Seller and the Purchaser a written statement setting forth its final determination (and a reasonably detailed description of the basis therefor) with respect to each Unresolved Objection (the "<u>Accounting Firm's Report</u>"). The Seller and the Purchaser shall provide the Neutral Accounting Firm with such financial and other relevant information of the Seller and the Purchaser (and their respective Affiliates) as the Neutral Accounting Firm shall reasonably request for purposes of making its final determination with respect to the Unresolved Objections, and the Seller and the Purchaser shall otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Neutral Accounting Firm in connection therewith. All information (including any written submissions, presentation materials and answers to questions from the Neutral Accounting Firm) and correspondence submitted by the Seller or the Purchaser to the Neutral Accounting Firm must be concurrently delivered to the other Party. Neither the Purchaser nor the Seller, nor any of their respective Representatives, shall meet or discuss any substantive matters with the Neutral Accounting Firm without the other party or its Representatives present or having the opportunity following at least three (3) Business Days' advance written notice to be present, either in person or by telephone or videoconference. The Seller and the Purchaser agree that (x) the Neutral Accounting Firm's determination with respect to each Unresolved Objection as reflected in the Accounting Firm's Report shall be deemed to be final, conclusive and binding among the Parties, (y) the Post-Closing Total Financial Adjustment Amount Calculation Form, as modified by any changes thereto in accordance with the Accounting Firm's Report (and, if applicable, any resolutions on Disputed Items reached by the Parties pursuant to <u>Section 2.5(b)(ii)</u>), shall be deemed to be final, conclusive and binding for purposes of the adjustment contemplated by <u>Section 2.5(c)</u> and (z) the procedures set forth in this <u>Section 2.5</u> shall be the sole and exclusive remedy with respect to the final determination of the Total Financial Adjustment Amount. The dispute resolution by the Neutral Accounting Firm under this <u>Section 2.5(b)(iii)</u> shall constitute an expert determination and shall not constitute an arbitration.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iv) The Seller and the Purchaser shall each (A) pay their own costs and expenses incurred in connection with this <u>Section 2.5</u> and (B) be responsible for the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accounting Firm in connection with this <u>Section 2.5</u> on a *pro rata* basis based upon the inverse of the degree (measured in Dollars) to which the Neutral Accounting Firm has accepted the respective positions of the Seller and the Purchaser (which shall be determined by the Neutral Accounting Firm and set forth in the Accounting Firm's Report). For purposes of clarity, if the Neutral Accounting Firm determines that it accepted seventy percent (70%) of the position of the Seller, then the Seller shall be responsible to pay thirty percent (30%) of the fees and expenses of the Neutral Accounting Firm and the Purchaser shall be responsible to pay the remaining seventy percent (70%) of such fees and expenses.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(c) <u>Adjustments of the Closing Payment</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) If the Seller-Determined Total Financial Adjustment Amount, as previously determined by the Seller pursuant to <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>, exceeds the Total Financial Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.5</u>, by more than $100,000, then, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Total Financial Adjustment Amount pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5</u>, the Seller shall pay an amount equal to the entire amount by which the Seller-Determined Total Financial Adjustment Amount exceeds the amount of the Total Financial Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.5</u>.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) If the Total Financial Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.5</u>, exceeds the Seller-Determined Total Financial Adjustment Amount, as previously determined by the Seller pursuant to <u>Section 2.3(b)</u>, by more than $100,000, then, within five (5) Business Days after the final determination of the Total Financial Adjustment Amount pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5</u>, the Purchaser shall pay an amount equal to the entire amount by which the Total Financial Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.5</u>, exceeds the Seller-Determined Total Financial Adjustment Amount.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) If the Total Financial Adjustment Amount, as finally determined in accordance with the foregoing provisions of this <u>Section 2.5</u>, neither exceeds the Seller-Determined Total Financial Adjustment Amount, nor falls short of the Seller-Determined Total Financial Adjustment Amount, by more than $100,000, then there will be no adjustment pursuant to this <u>Section 2.5(c)</u> and the Closing Payment will be deemed to be the Purchase Price.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties acknowledge that SSR Mining may disclose the execution of this Agreement and the material terms and conditions set forth herein through a public filing to be made with the SEC and the Canadian Securities Administrators via SEDAR+, which may include the public filing of a description of the terms and a copy of this Agreement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(b) Each of the Seller and SSR Mining, on the one hand, and the Purchaser and Cengiz Holding, on the other hand, shall be liable and indemnify and hold harmless the other for the losses and damages that it has caused the other (or their Affiliates) to suffer as a result or consequence of such first Party's failure to comply with its confidentiality obligations under this <u>Section 10.4</u>.

Section 10.5 <u>Severability</u>. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any Law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect for so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

Section 10.6 <u>Entire Agreement</u>. This Agreement, the Escrow Agreement and the Confidentiality Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof and supersede all prior agreements and undertakings (including the MoU), both written and oral, among the Parties or any of their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof.

Section 10.7 <u>Assignment</u>. Except as provided in this <u>Section 10.7</u>, no Party shall assign, transfer, declare a trust over, charge, or otherwise dispose of or deal with this Agreement or any part hereof, or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other Parties. It is understood and agreed that Cengiz Holding intends that an Affiliate of Cengiz Holding (the "<u>Purchaser AcquireCo</u>") will acquire the Purchased Shares and pay the Purchase Price, and, following delivery by the Purchaser to the Seller of customary "know your customer" / AML information with respect to the Purchaser AcquireCo, Cengiz Holding may assign certain rights and obligations under this Agreement as the Purchaser (but not, for the avoidance of doubt, those rights and obligations specifically identified as rights and obligations of "Cengiz Holding" hereunder) to the Purchaser AcquireCo prior to the Closing by delivering an executed "Assignment and Assumption Agreement" in substantially the form attached hereto as <u>Exhibit D</u>.

Section 10.8 <u>Amendment</u>. This Agreement may not be amended or modified except (a) by an instrument in writing signed by, or on behalf of, all of the Parties, or (b) by a waiver in accordance with <u>Section 10.9</u>.

No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on

any future occasion. No failure or delay on the part of any Party in the exercise of any right hereunder shall impair such right or be construed to be a waiver of, or acquiescence in, any breach of any representation, warranty or agreement herein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other rights. All remedies, either under this Agreement or by law or otherwise afforded, will be cumulative and not alternative.

Section 10.10 <u>No Third-Party Beneficiaries</u>. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever, including any rights of employment for any specified period, under or by reason of this Agreement under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.

Section 10.11 <u>Governing Law</u>. This Agreement, all contractual and non-contractual obligations and all claims arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of England & Wales.

Section 10.12 <u>Arbitration</u>. Any and all disputes arising out of, relating to, or in connection with this Agreement or its validity or termination shall be finally resolved by arbitration conducted in accordance with the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (the "<u>Rules</u>"). The arbitral tribunal shall consist of three arbitrators. Each side shall nominate its arbitrator in accordance with the Rules. The two party-nominated arbitrators shall nominate the third arbitrator within 30 days of the date on which the second arbitrator is confirmed. In the event either party fails to nominate an arbitrator or the two party-nominated arbitrators fail to nominate the third arbitrator, the appointments shall be made by the ICC in accordance with the Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be London, England. The procedural law governing the arbitration and this arbitration agreement shall be the laws of England & Wales. The language of the arbitral proceedings shall be English. To the extent permitted, the parties waive their right of appeal. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitral tribunal may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Section 10.13 <u>Specific Performance</u>. The Parties hereby expressly recognize and acknowledge that immediate, extensive and irreparable damage would result, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine if any provision of this Agreement is not performed in accordance with its specific terms or is otherwise breached. Each Party further acknowledges that a breach or violation of this Agreement cannot be sufficiently remedied by money damages alone and, accordingly, each Party shall be entitled, without the need to post a bond or other security, in addition to damages and any other remedies provided at law or in equity, to specific performance, injunctive and other equitable relief to enforce or prevent any violation. Each Party agrees not to oppose the granting of such equitable relief, and to waive, and to cause its representatives to waive, any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.

Section 10.14 <u>Non-Recourse</u>. This Agreement may only be enforced against, and any Legal Proceeding based upon, arising out of, or related to this Agreement, or the negotiation, execution or performance of this Agreement, may only be brought against the entities that are expressly named as parties hereto and then, except as set forth in <u>Article IX</u>, only with respect to the specific obligations set forth herein with respect to such Party. No past, present or future director, officer, employee, incorporator, manager, member, partner, stockholder, Affiliate, agent, attorney or other representative of any Party or of any Affiliate of any Party, or any of their successors or permitted assigns, shall have any Liability for any obligations or Liabilities of any Party under this Agreement or for any Legal Proceeding based on, in respect of or by reason of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 10.15 <u>Counterparts</u>. This Agreement may be executed and delivered (including by facsimile or other electronic transmission) in one or more counterparts, and by the different Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
