ACQUISITIONS
ACQUISITIONS
In April 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Paramount, which held mineral claims adjacent to the Company's Palmarejo mine, including a continuation of the Independencia deposit. Upon closing, Paramount became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and each issued and outstanding share of Paramount common stock was converted into 0.2016 shares of Coeur common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Immediately prior to completion of the acquisition, Paramount spun off to its existing stockholders a separate, publicly-traded company, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. ("SpinCo"), which owns the Sleeper Gold Project and other assets in Nevada. SpinCo was capitalized with $8.5 million in cash contributed by Coeur, which amount has been included in the total consideration paid for the acquisition of Paramount. The Company also paid $1.5 million to acquire 4.9% of the newly issued and outstanding shares of SpinCo.
The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition, as Paramount is an exploration stage project, which requires that the total purchase price be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their relative fair values. The purchase price and acquired assets and liabilities were as follows (in thousands except share data):
Common shares issued (32,667,327 at $5.78)

The assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been assigned to the Palmarejo reportable operating segment.
In February 2015, the Company completed its acquisition of the Wharf gold mine located near Lead, South Dakota, from a subsidiary of Goldcorp in exchange for $99.4 million in cash. The transaction was accounted for as a business combination which requires that assets acquired and liabilities assumed be recognized at their respective fair values at the acquisition date. The Company incurred $2.1 million of acquisition costs, which are included in Pre-development, reclamation, and other on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
The purchase price allocation was based on the fair value of acquired assets and liabilities as follows (in thousands):
Total assets acquired
133,269

Total liabilities assumed
33,873

Net assets acquired
$
99,396


The following table presents the unaudited pro forma summary of the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015, and 2014 as if the acquisition had occurred on January 1, 2014. The following unaudited pro forma financial information is presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations as they would have been had the transaction occurred on the assumed date, nor is it necessarily an indication of trends in future results for a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, differences between the assumptions used to prepare the pro forma information, potential synergies, and cost savings from operating efficiencies.
