Explanation of responses
- F1Award of restricted stock units that vest as follows: 8,745 shares on June 21, 2018; 8,745 shares on June 21, 2019; and 8,745 shares on June 21, 2020.
- F2Total number of unvested restricted stock units held by Mr. Sienko.
- F3Mr. Sienko was awarded performance rights representing the contingent right to receive between $25,000 and $100,000 worth of Hecla Mining Company common stock based on Hecla Mining Company's Total Shareholder Return performance over the 3-year period (January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019) relative to our peers. Examples of the potential grant of shares to Mr. Sienko under this plan are as follows: 100th percentile rank among peers = maximum award at 200% of target ($100,000 in stock); 60th percentile rank among peers = target award at grant value ($50,000 in stock); and 50th percentile rank among peers = threshold award at 50% of target ($25,000 in stock).
- F4The number shown in Column 5 of Table II assumes a target payout (i.e., $50,000 worth of common stock), with the common stock valued at the closing price on the day of the award ($5.87). The actual number of shares received (if any) by Mr. Sienko will depend on the Total Shareholder Return performance over the 3-year period and will be determined following the termination of that period.
- F5Held as 189.654 units in Mr. Sienko's 401(k) account under Hecla Mining Company's Capital Accumulation Plan, and estimated to be 2,246 shares.
