Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 24, 2020, Vista Gold Corp. (the “Company”) entered into Amendment No. 1 (the “Amended ATM Agreement”) to its At The Market Offering Agreement with H.C. Wainwright & Co., LLC (“Wainwright”) as sales manager dated November 22, 2017 (the “ATM Agreement”). As previously disclosed in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K as filed with the Commission on November 22, 2017, under the terms of the ATM Agreement, the Company will be entitled to sell, at its sole discretion and from time to time as it may choose, common shares in the capital of the Company (“Shares”) through Wainwright (the “Offering”).

The Amended ATM Agreement revises certain representations and warranties of the Company to reflect the filing of a new registration statement on Form S-3 (due to the prior Form S-3 expiring in early July 2020) and new prospectus supplement regarding the Offering to qualify the offering under the new registration statement. The Amended ATM Agreement also revises the termination date of the ATM Agreement to remove the termination date of August 31, 2020. As revised, the ATM Agreement can still be terminated by either party upon proper notice under its terms.

The above is a summary of the material terms of the Amended ATM Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the Amended ATM Agreement which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.2 and hereby incorporated by reference.
