Item 5.08.     Shareholder Director Nominations

(a)         On February 6, 2020 the Board of Directors of Gold Resource Corporation (the “Company”) determined that the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders will be held on May 21, 2020. Because the expected date of the meeting is 30 days prior from the anniversary date of the previous year’s annual meeting, the Company is notifying its shareholders of a new deadline for the receipt of shareholder proposals submitted pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, for inclusion of the Company’s proxy materials. Pursuant to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, and the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), the Company is providing notice of the revised deadlines for such proposals by the means of this Form 8-K.

Any shareholder proposal intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices at 2886 Carriage Manor Point, Colorado Springs, Colorado 80906 on or before the close of business on February 27, 2020, which is a reasonable time before it expects to begin printing and mailing its proxy materials.  In addition to complying with this deadline, shareholder proposals intended to be considered for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders must also comply with all applicable SEC rules.

Any shareholder or shareholder group wishing to nominate a director for election or propose other business at the 2020 Annual Meeting of Shareholders without regard to whether such proposal will be included in the Company’s proxy materials must ensure that notice of any such nomination or proposal is delivered to, or mailed and received at, the Company's principal executive offices on or before the close of business on February 27, 2020.
