Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure
Stillwater Mining Company (the "Company") announced on September 26, 2011 that it has withdrawn its previously announced proposed offering of senior notes due to unfavorable market conditions.
Commenting on this decision, Francis R. McAllister, the Company's Chairman and CEO, observed, "The dramatic deterioration of the capital markets during the past week has led us to conclude that it would not be in the best interests of our shareholders to complete a financing under the terms currently available. We have ample cash liquidity available, in addition to our strong cash flow, to fully fund the approximately $165 million net cash portion of the Peregrine transaction, provide for our working capital needs and fund near term capital requirements. Cash generation this year has been good, and as of the end of the second quarter the Company had total available cash and short-term investments on hand of $255 million. To date, the Company has continued to build cash during the third quarter. We will continue to monitor the range of long term capital alternatives and may, when market conditions are reasonable, return to the market."
A copy of the press release is hereby furnished (not filed).
