Explanation of Responses:
1. Each share of phantom stock is the economic equivalent of one share of common stock. The shares become payable in common stock at the election of the reporting person, upon the reporting person's termination of services as an officer, or upon a specified future date as previously elected by the reporting person.
2. Mr. Roberts deferred part of his salary into the Hecla Mining Company Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan during the period January 1, 2021 to March 31, 2021. He also deferred a portion of his short- and long-term incentive compensation he received in March 2021. At the end of the first quarter, Mr. Roberts was then credited with a number of phantom stock units that were deferred under the plan.
3. The share price is based on the average closing price of Hecla's common stock for each day during the first quarter 2021.
4. Consists of 67,634 shares held directly, 124,132 unvested performance-based units, 148,883 unvested restricted stock units, and 301,109 shares of phantom stock held under the Key Employee Deferred Compensation Plan.
