Orion Convertible Loan
On January 15, 2025, the Company amended and restated the Orion Convertible Loan. Pursuant to the amendment, the maturity date was extended from December 13, 2025, to June 30, 2026, and certain security was put in place to secure the Company’s obligations under the Orion Convertible Loan. Additional security against the Company’s Ruby Hill and Granite Creek projects was put in place as of March 31, 2025. In connection with the amendment the Company issued to Orion 5.0 million common share purchase warrants (Note 6) and entered into an offtake agreement with Orion (the “Offtake Agreement”). The Offtake Agreement will commence once the current offtake agreement with Deterra Royalties Limited expires at the end of December 2028 (Note 16).

Management determined that the modification to the agreement was non-substantial and accordingly, the Company accounted for the modification as an adjustment to the financial liability. Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 16.72% to the host liability component (December 31, 2024 - 18.64%). Interest accretion is included in interest expense. Orion is a related party (Note 15).
Convertible Debentures
On February 28, 2025, the Company completed certain amendments to its Convertible Debentures. The amendments provided for:
the conversion price applicable to the a debenture holder’s right to elect to convert outstanding and accrued interest on the Convertible Debentures is equal to the volume weighted average price of i-80 Gold’s common shares on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the debenture holder’s election notice, less a discount of 15%, converted into US dollars at the Bank of Canada rate on such date;
the conversion price applicable to the Company’ right to elect to convert outstanding and accrued interest on the Convertible Debentures is equal to the greater of (x) 85% of the average closing price of the i-80 Gold common shares as measured in US dollars on the NYSE during the 10 business days immediately preceding the date of the Company’s election notice, and (y) the volume weighted average price of i-80 Gold common shares on the TSX during the five trading days immediately preceding the date of the Company’s election notice, less a discount of 15%, converted into US dollars at the Bank of Canada rate on such date;
that the Company’s right to grant security against the Cove Project would rank subordinate to the security granted to the debenture holders; and
the Company with a redemption right in respect of all of the outstanding Convertible Debentures which allows the Company to redeem, in its sole discretion, all of the outstanding Convertible Debentures for cash at a 104% premium of the outstanding principal, along with accrued interest up to the redemption date.

The mandatory redemption right is considered to be an embedded derivative by the Company, classified as financial liability and not separated from the host liability component. Management determined that the modification to the agreement was non-substantial and accordingly, the Company accounted for the modification as an adjustment to the financial liability. Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 9.4% to the host liability component (December 31, 2024 - 9.2%). Interest accretion is included in interest expense.
Gold Prepay Agreement
On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into an amending agreement with Orion extending the quarterly gold deliveries due March 31, 2025, to April 7, 2025.

The current portion of the liability is $27.9 million as of March 31, 2025. On April 2, 2025, the Company delivered 6,420 ounces of gold to Orion in full satisfaction of the December 31, 2024 and March 31, 2025 quarterly deliveries.

Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 32.2% to the host liability component (December 31, 2024 - 31.9%). For the amendment above, management determined that the modification to the agreement was non-substantial and accordingly, the Company accounted for the modification as an adjustment to the financial liability.
Silver Purchase Agreement
On March 28, 2025, the Company entered into an amending agreement with Orion extending the 2024 shortfall amount due March 31, 2025, to April 7, 2025.

The current portion of the liability is $7.3 million as of March 31, 2025. On April 2, 2025, the Company delivered 320,000 ounces of silver to Orion in full satisfaction of the 2024 shortfall amount. The delivered ounces were net of Orion's cash purchase price.

Interest expense is calculated by applying the effective interest rate of 21.4% to the host liability component. For the amendment above, management determined that the modification to the agreement was non-substantial and accordingly, the Company accounted for the modification as an adjustment to the financial liability.
New Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement

On March 31, 2025, the Company entered into a New Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase arrangement ("New Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement") with National Bank of Canada ("National Bank") under which National Bank purchased 6,864 ounces of gold and 345,549 ounces of silver from the Company for delivery to National Bank by September 30, 2025 or earlier, upon an infusion of capital in line with the recapitalization plan. The proceeds of this new prepay arrangement were used to satisfy the March 31, 2025 gold and silver deliveries due to Orion under its respective Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase agreements. The New Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement was funded on April 1, 2025 for total proceeds of $31.0 million.

The New Gold Prepay and Silver Purchase Agreement contain an early termination make-whole provision and a mandatory prepayment provision, that are considered embedded derivatives by the Company and measured at fair value (Note 17). The early termination make-whole provision and mandatory prepayment provision are classified as financial liabilities and not separated from the host liability component as they have been deemed to be closely related.
