Item 3.01 Notice
of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
On March 24, 2020, McEwen
Mining Inc. (the “Company”) was notified by the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) that the average
closing price of the Company’s common stock had fallen below $1.00 per share over a period of 30 consecutive trading days,
which is the minimum average share price required by Section 802.01C of the NYSE Listed Company Manual (“Section 802.01C”).
In response, as required by Section 802.01C, the Company plans
to notify the NYSE of its intent to cure the deficiency and restore its compliance with the listing standards of Section 802.01C.
The Company has six months following receipt of the notification to regain compliance with the minimum share price requirement.
To regain compliance, the closing price of the Company’s common stock must be at least $1.00 and the average share price
over the preceding 30 trading days must be at least $1.00, each on the last trading day of any calendar month within the six-month
period or before the expiration of the six-month period.
The notice has no immediate impact on the listing of the Company’s
common stock, which will continue to be listed and traded on the NYSE during this period, subject to the Company’s compliance
with other listing standards. The common stock will continue to trade under the symbol “MUX,” but with the added designation
of “.BC” to indicate the Company’s “below compliance” status. In the event that the Company fails
to restore its compliance with the continued listing standards of Section 802.01C, that section calls for the NYSE to commence
procedures for the suspension and delisting of the Company’s common stock.
The notice does not affect the
Company’s ongoing business operations or its reporting obligations with the Securities and Exchange Commission or under applicable
Canadian reporting requirements. The Company’s listing on the Toronto Stock Exchange, under the symbol “MUX,”
is unaffected by any actions of the NYSE.
Risk Factors
Failure of the Company to regain compliance with the NYSE
listing requirements could result in delisting of its common stock, which in turn could adversely affect its future financial condition
and the market for its common stock.
If the common stock ultimately were to be delisted for any reason,
it could negatively impact the Company by (i) reducing the liquidity and market price of the Company’s common stock; (ii)
reducing the number of investors willing to hold or acquire the Company’s common stock, which could negatively impact the
Company’s ability to raise equity financing; (iii) limiting the Company’s ability to use a registration statement to
offer and sell freely tradable securities, adversely affecting the Company’s ability to access the public capital markets;
and (iv) impairing the Company’s ability to provide equity incentives to its employees.
Item 7.01 Regulation
FD Disclosure.
On March 27, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing
that it had received a notice of noncompliance from the NYSE, as required under Section 802.01C. A copy of the press release is
attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1.
On March 26, 2020, the Company issued a press release announcing
the temporary cessation of operations at its Black Fox and Gold Bar mines due to COVID-19. A copy of that press release is attached
to this report as Exhibit 99.2.
The information furnished under this Item 7.01, including the
exhibits, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall
it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by
reference to such filing.
