5.875% Senior Notes due 2024

In May 2017, the Company completed an offering of $250.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Senior Notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, for net proceeds of approximately $245.0 million. The 2024 Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 5.875% per year from the date of issuance. Interest on the 2024 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year. The 2024 Senior Notes will mature on June 1, 2024 and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Guarantors.

Revolving Credit Facility

In September 2017, the Company, as borrower, and certain subsidiaries of the Company, as guarantors, entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with Bank of America, N.A, Royal Bank of Canada, Bank of Montreal, and the Bank of Nova Scotia. The Credit Agreement provides for a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”), which may be increased by up to $50.0 million in incremental loans and commitments subject to the terms of the Credit Agreement. The Facility has a term of four years. Loans under the Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to either a base rate plus a margin ranging from 1.00% to 1.75% or an adjusted LIBOR rate plus a margin ranging from 2.00% to 2.75%, as selected by the Company, in each case, with such margin determined in accordance with a pricing grid based upon the Company’s consolidated net leverage ratio as of the end of the applicable period.

At March 31, 2018, the Company had $73.0 million available under the Facility; $15.0 million was drawn to repay the third-party debt obligation at Silvertip, $100.0 million was drawn to partially fund the Silvertip acquisition in 2017, and $12.0 million currently supports outstanding letters of credit. At March 31, 2018, the interest rate of the Facility was 4.1%.

Silvertip Debt Obligation

The Company assumed an existing third-party debt obligation as part of the Silvertip acquisition. In February 2018, the Company voluntarily terminated and repaid the remaining debt obligation of $12.6 million.

Capital Lease Obligations

From time to time, the Company acquires mining equipment under capital lease agreements. In the three months ended March 31, 2018, the Company entered into new lease financing arrangements primarily for mining equipment at Rochester and Kensington. All capital lease obligations are recorded, upon lease inception, at the present value of future minimum lease payments.
