The San Juan mine is the exclusive supplier of coal to the adjacent San Juan Generating Station (“SJGS”) under a coal supply agreement through 2022. The San Juan operations are included in the Company’s Coal - U.S. segment.
WSJ financed the San Juan Acquisition principally with a $125.0 million loan from NM Capital Utility Corporation (the “San Juan Loan”), an affiliate of Public Service Company of New Mexico (one of the owners of SJGS).
The San Juan Acquisition has been accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting that requires the total purchase consideration to be allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimates of fair value.
