Note 9 — Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the balance sheet date through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued.

The Company did not identify any subsequent events, other than listed below, that would have required adjustment or disclosure in the consolidated financial statements.

Working Capital Loans - Convertible Promissory Note from Related Party

On January 9, 2023, the Company issued an unsecured promissory note (the “2023 Sponsor Convertible Note”) to the Sponsor pursuant to which the Company borrowed $300,000 from the Sponsor for transaction costs reasonably related to the consummation of the Business Combination. All unpaid principal under the 2023 Sponsor Convertible Note will be due and payable in full on the earlier of (i) August 2, 2023, and (ii) the acquisition of the Cornish, Scottish and Australian Mine in the Company’s Proposed Business Combination (the “Business Combination”) (such earlier date, the “Maturity Date”).

Pursuant to the terms of the 2023 Sponsor Convertible Note, the Sponsor will have the option, at any time on or prior to the Maturity Date, to convert any amounts outstanding under the 2023 Sponsor Convertible Note, up to $300,000 in the aggregate, into warrants to purchase the Company’s Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, at a conversion price of $1.50 per warrant, with each warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Class A ordinary share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to the same adjustments applicable to the private placement warrants sold concurrently with the Company’s initial public offering.

Concurrently upon the issuance of the 2023 Sponsor Convertible Note, on January 9, 2023, the Sponsor exercised its option to convert the issued and outstanding loan amount of $300,000 under the 2023 Sponsor Convertible Note, resulting in the issuance of 200,000 private placement warrants to the Sponsor.

Senior Syndicated Facility Agreement

On February 28, 2023, MAC-Sub, the Company and New MAC, as guarantors, entered into a syndicated facility agreement (“SFA”) with Citibank, N.A., Sydney Branch, Bank of Montreal, Harris Bank N.A., The Bank of Nova Scotia, Australian Branch, and National Bank of Canada (collectively, the “Senior Lenders”) and Citisecurities Limited, as agent for the Senior Lenders, to provide a senior syndicate loan facility to finance, in part, the Proposed Business Combination.

The SFA provides for, among other things, three credit facilities (collectively, the “Senior Facilitates”) as follows:

(i)a $205 million acquisition term loan (“Facility A”) that can be used to fund the Business Combination Consideration, requires quarterly repayments that are sculpted as necessary to meet a Debt Service Cover Ratio minimum of 1.50x but can be mandatorily repaid by way of a ‘sweep’ of excess cash available to the MAC-Sub and each of its subsidiaries such that on the last day of each quarter, MAC-Sub must apply 30% of all excess cash in repayment of Facility A applied in inverse order of maturity, and is fully amortized over a notational 5 year loan life based on agreed financial modelling as described in the SFA;
(ii)a $25 million revolving credit facility (“Facility B”) that can be used only for general corporate purposes post-closing of the Business Combination, requires repayments such that all loans under Facility B are repaid on or before the date that is 3 years after the date of financial close under the SFA (the “Termination Date”); and
(iii)a A$40 million letter of credit facility (“Facility C”) that is for performance guarantees in favor of the government of New South Wales in relation to the environmental rehabilitation obligations of the CSA Mine and for other financial bank guarantees, as required, requires repayment on the Termination Date. At present Facility A and Facility B are fully committed, with Facility C not yet having received full commitments, but structured on the basis that a further lender can accede to the SFA to fund that Facility C.

The rate of interest for Facility A and B is calculated from the aggregate of i) the margin (being a fixed amount of 3.0% per annum), and (ii) the greater of zero or the secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) for such day. The issuance fee for Facility C (in lieu of interest) is 2% per annum on the amount of each outstanding performance guarantee, or 3% per annum on the amount of each outstanding financial guarantee. The SFA also specifies a default interest rate of an additional 2% per annum for overdue payments.

The SFA is subject to customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement.

Loan Note Subscription Agreement – Mezzanine Debt Facility and Equity Subscription Agreement

On March 10, 2023, MAC-Sub, the Company and MAC Limited, as guarantors, entered into a mezzanine debt facility loan note subscription agreement (the “Mezz Facility”) with Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector-2), LP, (the “Lender”) and Sprott Resource Lending Corp., as agent and security trustee for the Lender, to provide a mezzanine loan facility to finance, in part, the Proposed Business Combination.

The Mezz Facility provides for, among other things, $135,000,000 total funding available to MAC with a maturity of five (5) years from the closing of the Business Combination. The interest rate on the Mezz Facility will be paid on a quarterly basis and is calculated as the aggregate of (i) the Interest Rate Margin (outlined below), and (ii) the greater of the 3-month term SOFR rate or 2.00% per annum. The Interest Rate Margin is calculated based on the copper price on the first day of each calendar quarter as quoted on the London Metal Exchange (“LME”). The variation in the copper price will determine the margin rate as well as the composition of interest payments (being either cash and/or capitalized to the principal (provided no event of default is continuing) as described below:

Equity Subscription Agreement

Concurrently, in connection with the Mezz Facility, New MAC, the Company, Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP (the “Equity Subscriber”) and Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector-2), LP, (the “Warrant Subscriber”) entered into a subscription agreement (the “Subscription Agreement”) pursuant to which the Equity Subscriber has committed to purchase 1,500,000 New MAC Ordinary Shares (the “Subscribed Shares”) at a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $15,000,000. In addition, in accordance with the terms of the Mezz Facility, and subject to the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Warrant Subscriber will receive 3,187,500 warrants to purchase New MAC Ordinary Shares (the “New MAC Financing Warrants”) once the Mezz Facility begins. Each New MAC Financing Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one New MAC Ordinary Share. The New MAC Financing Warrant documentation will contain customary anti-dilution clauses. The New MAC Financing Warrants will be fully transferrable and will last for the full term of the Mezz Facility with an exercise price of US$12.50 per share. Upon exercise, New MAC may either (i) cash-settle the New MAC Warrants, or (ii) direct the holder to offset the exercise price against the outstanding principal amount of the facility. New MAC may elect to accelerate the exercise date for the New MAC Financing Warrants if New MAC Ordinary Shares are quoted on a recognized stock exchange as over two (2) times the exercise price for twenty (20) consecutive trading days.

The obligations to consummate the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreement are conditioned upon, among other things, customary closing conditions and the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Mezz Facility and the Proposed Business Combination Agreement.

Silver Purchase Agreement, Silver Stream Equity Subscription, Redemptions Backstop Facility

On March 20, 2023, MAC-Sub, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, as a seller psa entity, the Company and New MAC following the Proposed Business Combination, as seller, entered into a silver purchase agreement (the “Silver Stream”) with Osisko Bermuda Limited (the “Purchaser”), pursuant to which the Purchaser will advance to New MAC a $75,000,000 upfront cash deposit (the “Silver Deposit”) on account of future deliveries of refined silver by New MAC to the Purchaser referenced to silver production from the CSA Mine (as defined below). The amount of the Silver Deposit will be increased by an additional $15,000,000 if the average silver market price quoted by the London Bullion Market Association (the “LBMA”) is $25.50 per ounce or more over the ten (10) business day period prior to the closing of the Silver Stream. The Silver Deposit represents a pre-payment of a portion of the purchase price for refined silver to be sold by New MAC to the Purchaser under the Silver Stream.

The Silver Deposit will be used by New MAC to finance, in part, the Proposed Business Combination. The Silver Stream provides for the sale by New MAC to the Purchaser of an amount of refined silver equal to 100% of payable silver (calculated as 90% of produced silver) produced by the CSA Mine during the life of mine. The Purchaser will make ongoing cash payments for refined silver delivered equal to 4% (the “Silver Cash Price”) of the silver price quoted on the LBMA for one ounce of refined silver on the day prior to the date

of delivery (the “Silver Market Price”). Until the Silver Deposit is reduced to nil, the Purchaser shall credit the difference between the Silver Market Price and the Silver Cash Price against the outstanding Silver Deposit. After the Silver Deposit is reduced to nil, the Purchaser will pay only the Silver Cash Price for each ounce of refined silver.

Additionally, pursuant to the Silver Stream, the Purchaser has been granted a right of first refusal with respect to any royalty, stream or similar interest in the metals or other minerals mined from a project now or hereafter owned by MAC or any affiliate of New MAC that a third party offers to purchase from New MAC or any affiliate of New MAC (the “ROFR”). The ROFR, applies until the later to occur of: (i) seven (7) years from the closing date of the Silver Stream; and (ii) the date on which the Purchaser or any affiliate ceases to hold or control more than 5% of the issued share capital of New MAC.
