5. Held as 1,389.383 units in Mr. Absolom's 401(k) account under the Hecla Mining Company Capital Accumulation Plan and estimated to be 16,613 shares.
6. Mr. Absolom was awarded performance rights representing the contingent right to receive between $100,000 and $200,000 worth of Hecla Mining Company common stock based on Hecla Mining Company's Total Shareholder Return performance over the 3-year period (January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2028) relative to our peers. Examples of the potential grant of shares to Mr. Absolom under this plan are as follows: 100th percentile rank among peers = maximum award at 200% of target ($200,000) in stock); 50th percentile rank among peers = target award at grant value ($100,000 in stock), and 0 percentile rank among peers = threshold award below 25% of target.
