On February 7, 2014, the Company closed on a private offering of $425.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 10.75% senior notes due 2018 at a price of 106.875% plus accrued interest from February 1, 2014, referred to as the New Notes. Total proceeds of the offering was $454.2 million, which included $29.2 million of debt premium. The net proceeds of the offering of the New Notes will be used to finance the approximately $293 million cash portion of the purchase price of the Sherritt Acquisition, an estimated $58 million to satisfy the cash bonding obligations for the Sherritt mines and cash transaction costs associated with the acquisition and offering of the New Notes of approximately $26 million. The remaining balance of the proceeds will be used to fund the prepayment of the WML Notes and for other general corporate purposes. The proceeds of the offering are being held in escrow pending the completion of the acquisition. The Company will pay interest on the New Notes semi-annually on February 1st and August 1st of each year beginning on August 1, 2014. The Company capitalized debt issuance costs of $7.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

Promptly following the completion of the Sherritt Acquisition, the Company will exchange the New Notes for $425 million aggregate principal amount of add-on 10.75% senior secured notes due 2018 (the “Add-On Notes”) and the Company will become party to a registration rights agreement, pursuant to which the Company will agree to register with the Securities and Exchange Commission the exchange of Add-On Notes for registered notes with the same terms as the existing 10.75% Senior Notes due 2018.

If the Sherritt Acquisition is not completed on or prior to June 30, 2014, then the New Notes will be subject to a mandatory redemption at a redemption price equal to 101% of the offering price of the New Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest through the mandatory redemption date.

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we entered into $12.9 million of new capital leases at our Kemmerer Mine.

Additional information regarding the Company's debt is outlined in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company's 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
