Item 3.02.

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

As previously disclosed, on March 28, 2024, Coeur Mining, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiary Coeur Alaska, Inc. (“Coeur Alaska”) entered into a settlement agreement to resolve litigation with Maverix Metals Inc. and Maverix Metals (Nevada) Inc. (collectively “Maverix”) regarding the terms of a royalty impacting a portion of the Kensington mine property (the “Maverix Litigation”). While Coeur Alaska continued to believe its claims and counterclaims in the matter were valid, it determined that the settlement was appropriate given the inherent uncertainty presented in litigation matters. In consideration for the dismissal of the Maverix Litigation and pursuant to other customary terms of settlement, Coeur Alaska and Maverix agreed to amend the terms of the royalty and to issue up to 2,455,000 shares of its common stock to an affiliate of Maverix, including common stock having a then-current fair market value of $3.0 million by April 2, 2024 and common stock having a then-current fair market value of $3.75 million by March 28, 2025 (collectively, the “Settlement Shares”). The settlement provides that credit for the value of certain portions of equity issued to be credited against the royalty, as amended, as payment in arrears for production prior to January 1, 2024. On March 26, 2025, the Company issued 595,267 shares to settle the second equity issuance valued at $3.75 million. The issuance of the Settlement Shares is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration requirements afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
