The Metals Company
Provides Third Quarter 2023 Corporate Update
NEW YORK, Nov. 9, 2023 — TMC the
metals company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC) (“TMC” or “the Company”), an explorer of lower-impact battery metals from seafloor
polymetallic nodules, today provided a corporate update and financial results for the third quarter ending September 30, 2023.
Q3 2023 Financial Highlights
| · | Net
loss of $12.5 million and net loss per share of $0.04 for the quarter ended September
30, 2023 |
| · | Total
cash of approximately $22.5 million at September 30, 2023 |
| · | Total
liquidity of approximately $56 million at September 30, 2023 inclusive of existing cash,
$9 million expected additional closings from ERAS Capital LLC in the previously announced
Registered Direct Offering, and the undrawn $25 million unsecured credit facility from an
affiliate of Allseas Group SA |
Gerard Barron, TMC Chairman and CEO,
commented: “We are laser-focused on putting together the best possible application to allow us to move from exploration to
exploitation phase on our NORI -D contract area, and we remain focused on targeting commercial production as early as Q4 2025. To this
end, the pre-feasibility study (“PFS”) and Environmental Impact Statement (“EIS”) are currently taking
most of TMC's resources and attention.
For the offshore segment of the PFS, together with our strategic partner
Allseas, we have gone through several mine planning iterations and design reviews of the Project Zero nodule collection and transport
system with expected capacity to handle 3 million wet tonnes of nodules per year. The offshore EIS process is generating very encouraging
insights based on last year's nodule collection test which are informing our designs and plans. We have also started sharing these insights
with stakeholders at ISA events and, importantly, we are now in a position to meaningfully engage with the ocean conservation community—an
invitation I extended through my open letter earlier this month. To further strengthen our EIS, we are planning to conduct an additional
offshore campaign to revisit the collector test site 12 months after completion of the initial collector tests. To support our operations,
including this additional campaign, in August 2023 we announced a Registered Direct Offering of common shares and accompanying Class
A warrants at $2 per share, with anticipated gross proceeds to TMC of approximately $24.9 million.
For the onshore segment of the PFS, we have made real progress in
Japan where Pacific Metals Co Ltd (PAMCO) has done considerable work and validated that seafloor nodules can be tolled through their
facility producing intermediate products that align with our specifications. Therefore, we believe all of the pieces are starting to
come together—albeit we still have a few more quarters’ worth of hard work ahead of us to deliver an application for an exploitation
contract of which we can all be proud.”
Operational Highlights
| · | NORI
Researchers to Revisit Site of Last Year’s Nodule Collection System Test: In November
2023, TMC and its subsidiary Nauru Ocean Resources Inc. (NORI) provided further details on
a previously announced offshore campaign to assess seafloor ecosystem function in NORI Area
D a year after its pilot collection system trials. Marine scientists will conduct an array
of studies to collect further environmental data on ecosystem recovery and functioning in
the area of the pilot nodule collection system test as well as in areas adjacent to and at
various distances from the collector tracks, which are expected to increase the quality of
NORI’s application for an exploitation contract expected to be lodged following the
July 2024 session of the International Seabed Authority (ISA). |
| · | TMC
Releases Second Annual Impact Report: In October 2023, TMC published its 2022 Impact
Report, which provides an update on key milestones achieved in its assessment of the environmental
and social impacts of seafloor nodule collection and those impacts relative to land-based
alternatives, and the efforts TMC is undertaking to eliminate or reduce such impacts. As
part of the Impact Report, TMC also introduced its Sustainability Approach highlighting its
thought processes about how TMC intends to fully align its activities to environmental, social
and governance (ESG) principles. |
| · | TMC
Provides a Closing Update on Registered Direct Offering: In August 2023, TMC entered
into a securities purchase agreement for a Registered Direct Offering of up to 12,461,540
of its common shares and Class A warrants to purchase up to 6,230,770 common shares for expected
gross proceeds of $24.9 million, the majority of which has already been received. We expect
that two additional closings will occur on or before November 30, 2023 and January 31, 2024
for approximately $2.5 million and $6.5 million, respectively, from ERAS Capital LLC. Each
common share and the accompanying Class A Warrant to purchase 0.5 of a common share
were sold at a price of $2.00. The exercise price of the Class A warrants is $3.00 with a
mandatory warrant exercise provision if the 30-day volume weighted-average price (VWAP) of
TMC’s common stock exceeds $6.50. |
| · | Next
Phase of Adaptive Management System Development Announced: Following the delivery of
a prototype Digital Twin from Kongsberg Digital in 2022 and its deployment during the collector
tests in the same year, TMC announced in September 2023 that it had entered into the next
phase of its relationship with Kongsberg Digital to further develop the Digital Twin which
will integrate multiple data streams from TMC’s future production system and is designed
to enable 3D visualization of its deep-sea operating environment, providing ‘eyes and
ears’ to the regulator and stakeholders. The Digital Twin is a core component of TMC’s
broader Adaptive Management System (AMS) which is designed to utilise AI and hybrid machine
learning capabilities of the Digital Twin with expert analysis to ensure operations remain
within environmental impact thresholds, a system with potential applications for resource
operations at sea and on land. |
Industry Update
| · | International
Seabed Authority: From October 30 to November 8, 2023, Part III of the ISA’s
28th Session took place in Kingston, Jamaica, where the Council moved the
regulations into their next phase of negotiation. Additional formal sessions will be held
in March 2024 and July 2024 alongside informal intersessional working groups. |
| | |
| · | Letter
from US House Leaders from Texas in Support of Funding for TMC Feasibility Study: In
November 2023, TMC welcomed a letter from Members of the US House of Representatives from
Texas to the Department of Defense in support of funding a bankable feasibility study for
a nodule processing plant along the Texas Gulf Coast. The letter recognizes such a plant
represents an investment in US national security, domestic economy, and production of clean
energy materials. Given the concentration of robust marine, energy and chemicals industries
concentrated along the Texas Gulf Coast, the region could be well -suited to support TMC’s
Project One facility requirements but does not change TMC’s capital-light approach
to initial production using existing processing facilities in Asia. |
Financial Results Overview
At September 30, 2023, TMC held cash of $22.5 million and held no
debt. We believe that our cash on hand, the remaining expected net proceeds from the Registered Direct Offering and borrowing availability
under our recently amended and extended credit facility with an affiliate of Allseas will be sufficient to meet our working capital and
capital expenditure commitments for at least the next twelve months from today.
TMC reported net loss of approximately
$12.5 million, or $0.04 per share for the quarter ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss of $27.9 million, or $0.12 per share,
for the quarter ended September 30, 2022. Exploration and evaluation expenses during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 were $7.9 million
compared to $22.7 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, a significant decrease in 2023 as the prior year included active
work on the collector test which was completed in November 2022, partially offset by increased spending on prefeasibility studies and
engineering work which commenced in the fourth quarter of 2022. General and administrative expenses were $4.6 million for the quarter
ended September 30, 2023 compared to $5.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2022, reflecting lower share-based compensation
in the 2023 period, as options with specific market capitalization vesting conditions were fully amortized in 2022, partially offset
by higher spending on consulting and advisory work.

statements of historical matters, including related to TMC’s current expectations and projections related to its financial condition
and business outlook, how long TMC’s cash and liquidity will fund operations, the adoption of final regulations by the ISA, including
the timing and content thereof, TMC’s expectations with respect to filing an application for an exploitation contract or an application
for a plan of work for exploitation with the ISA and the timing and content thereof, including the impact on such application the results
of the planned post-collector test campaign may have, the timing and content of the PFS and EIS, Allseas Group S.A. and NORI’s
plans for the development of the commercial offshore system, including where offshore systems may be located, and the timing, terms,
and amount of proceeds from the recently announced registered direct offering. These forward-looking statements involve significant risks
and uncertainties that could cause the actual results to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Most
of these factors are outside TMC’s control and are difficult to predict. Factors that may cause such differences include, but are
not limited to: TMC’s ability to close the final two expected closings of the Registered Direct Offering; the risk that the investors
will not exercise the warrants issued or issuable as part of the registered direct offering; TMC’s strategies and future financial
performance; the ISA’s ability to timely adopt the final mining regulations and/or willingness to review and/or approve a plan
of work for exploitation under the United Nations Convention on the Laws of the Sea (UNCLOS); TMC’s ability to obtain exploitation
contracts or approved plans of work for exploitation for its areas in the Clarion Clipperton Zone; regulatory uncertainties and the impact
of government regulation and political instability on TMC’s resource activities; changes to any of the laws, rules, regulations
or policies to which TMC is subject, including the terms of the final mining regulations, if any, adopted by ISA and the potential timing
thereof; the impact of extensive and costly environmental requirements on TMC’s operations; environmental liabilities; the impact
of polymetallic nodule collection on biodiversity in the Clarion Clipperton Zone and recovery rates of impacted ecosystems; TMC’s
ability to develop minerals in sufficient grade or quantities to justify commercial operations; the lack of development of seafloor polymetallic

in transportation costs; fluctuations in metals prices; testing and manufacturing of equipment; risks associated with TMC’s limited
operating history, limited cash resources and need for additional financing; risks associated with TMC’s intellectual property;
Low Carbon Royalties’ limited operating history; and other risks and uncertainties, including those under Item 1A “Risk Factors”
in TMC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed by TMC with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) on March 27, 2023, as updated and/or supplemented by TMC’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
June 30, 2023, filed with the SEC on August 14, 2023, and in TMC’s other future filings with the SEC, including TMC’s Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2023 when filed with the SEC. TMC cautions that the foregoing list of factors
is not exclusive. TMC cautions readers not to place undue reliance upon any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date
made. TMC does not undertake or accept any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking
statements to reflect any change in its expectations or any change in events, conditions, or circumstances on which any such statement
