What changed: TMC the metals company Inc. announced on August 19, 2026 that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration published in the Federal Register the consolidated application submitted by its subsidiary The Metals Company USA LLC under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act, seeking an exploration licence and a commercial recovery permit for polymetallic nodules in the TMC USA-A area of the Clarion-Clipperton Zone in international waters of the Pacific Ocean. The release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 under Item 7.01. Why it matters: The application published here covers a commercial recovery permit as well as an exploration licence, and it is the recovery permit that would allow production rather than survey. Two days after the Notice of Intent on the exploration application, this is the consolidated filing entering the public record; the report states no decision, no schedule and no conditions.
What changed: TMC the metals company Inc. announced on August 17, 2026 that the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has published a Notice of Intent in the Federal Register to prepare an Environmental Impact Statement for the exploration licence application submitted by its subsidiary The Metals Company USA LLC under the Deep Seabed Hard Mineral Resources Act. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 under Item 7.01. Why it matters: TMC's case rests on obtaining United States seabed permits, so a published Notice of Intent to prepare an environmental impact statement is a concrete procedural advance in that application rather than a decision on it. The report states the publication only: no timetable, no conditions and no outcome.
What changed: Q2 2026 10-Q of TMC the metals company Inc. (Nasdaq: TMC), which had 441,135,482 common shares outstanding as of August 11, 2026. Why it matters: The permitting path runs through two separate regulators whose processes the company itself flags as capable of delay or denial. This summary is drawn from the cover page and cautionary note; the balance sheet and statements of loss are not covered here.

What changed: TMC the metals company Inc. issued a press release on August 13, 2026 announcing its results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026 and providing a business update, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 under Item 2.02, and held a conference call the same day at 4:30 p.m. EDT. The body of the 8-K contains no figures and states that the information is not deemed filed. Why it matters: The report dates the release; the numbers exist only in the exhibit. Read alone it supports no conclusion about TMC's cash, spending or operational progress.
What changed: TMC the metals company Inc. filed Supplement No. 1, dated May 26, 2026, to the April 17, 2026 definitive proxy statement for its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, held in a virtual format on Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT. The proxy statement had told holders that banks, brokers and other nominees would have authority to vote uninstructed street-name shares on Proposal No. 1, fixing the board at ten members, and on Proposal No. 3, appointing Ernst & Young LLP as auditor, and that no broker non-votes were expected on either. Why it matters: TMC has since been informed that nominees have no discretionary authority on ANY proposal in the proxy statement, including Proposals 1 and 3, so uninstructed street-name shares become broker non-votes rather than votes. The supplement states those broker non-votes have no effect on the outcome of either proposal, and urges street-name holders to instruct their nominees so their shares are voted at all. Proxies already returned remain valid and no other agenda item is affected. The correction reaches holders two days before the meeting.

What changed: TMC the metals company Inc., the successor to Sustainable Opportunities Acquisition Corp., called its 2026 annual meeting for Thursday, May 28, 2026 at 10:00 a.m. EDT in a virtual format, record date April 2, 2026, at which 433,188,187 common shares were outstanding as the only class of voting stock. Frederic W. Cook & Co. served as the compensation committee's independent consultant for the year ended December 31, 2025. The pay-versus-performance table shows the chief executive's Summary Compensation Table total of $4,270,118 against compensation actually paid of $99,797,809 for 2025. Why it matters: Compensation actually paid of $99.8 million against a $4.3 million reported total means the mark-to-market value of the chief executive's outstanding equity rose by roughly $95 million during 2025 - a share price surge, since compensation actually paid is driven by the change in award fair value. Holders benefited alongside, but it also shows how leveraged insider equity is to the price. A single class of 433.2 million shares means no founder block distorts the vote.
