On April 28, 2021, the Company issued a $12.5 million CAD convertible debenture (the “RoyCap Convertible Debenture”) to Royal Capital Management Corp. (“RoyCap”) due April 28, 2024 with interest payable at 8% per annum secured by the Company’s interest in the Galena Complex and by shares of one of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries.

The RoyCap Convertible Debenture is redeemable at the Company’s option to prepay the principal amount subject to payment of a redemption premium of 30% during the first year, 20% during the second year, and 10% during the third year prior to maturity (the “Redemption Option”), is retractable at RoyCap’s option at a cumulative $0.3 million CAD per month starting in the second month from inception where the Company may settle the retraction amount through either cash or issuance of the Company’s common shares determined by dividing 95% of the 20 day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common shares (the “Retraction Option”), and convertible at RoyCap’s option into the Company’s common shares at a conversion price of $3.35 CAD (the “Conversion Option”).

Notes to the consolidated financial statements

For the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020

(In thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise stated)


On inception, the RoyCap Convertible Debenture, which may be settled through a fixed amount of the Company’s own equity instruments, was treated as a compound financial instrument with the principal portion classified as a liability component and the Conversion Option as an equity component. The initial fair value of the principal portion was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument at the issue date. The principal portion is subsequently recognized on an amortized cost basis until extinguished on conversion or maturity. The remainder of the proceeds were allocated to the Conversion Option as equity. A net derivative liability of $1.4 million was recorded on initial recognition based on the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option.

During the year ended December 31, 2021, the principal amount of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture was reduced by $0.9 million CAD through partial exercises of the Retraction Option by RoyCap. The Company settled the retraction amounts through issuance of 798,579 of the Company’s common shares.

On November 12, 2021, the Company amended the RoyCap Convertible Debenture by increasing the principal balance by $6.3 million CAD to a total outstanding principal of $17.9 million CAD, in addition to amending its conversion price of $3.35 CAD to $1.48 CAD, and the terms to its Retraction Option retractable at a cumulative $0.3 million CAD per month to a cumulative $0.45 million CAD per month. All other material terms of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture remain unchanged. The Company derecognized the associated carrying values of the RoyCap Convertible Debenture prior to amendment and recognized an amended compound financial instrument with the amended principal portion classified as a liability component and the amended Conversion Option as an equity component. The fair value of the amended principal portion was determined using a market interest rate for an equivalent non-convertible instrument at the date of the amendment. A net derivative liability of $2.1 million was recorded on amendment date based on the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option.

The Company recognized a loss of $0.2 million in the consolidated statements of loss and comprehensive loss for the year ended December 31, 2021 as a result of the change in the estimated fair value of the combined Redemption Option and Retraction Option.
