Immediately prior to completion of the merger, Paramount will spin-off to its existing stockholders a separate, publicly traded company, expected to be named Paramount Nevada Gold Corp. (“SpinCo”), a subsidiary that owns the Sleeper Gold Project and other assets in Nevada. As part of the transaction, subject to satisfaction of closing conditions, Coeur will make a loan to Paramount in the principal amount of $8.5 million and Paramount will contribute all of the proceeds of such loan to SpinCo as an equity contribution, and SpinCo will issue to Coeur, in exchange for a cash payment by Coeur in the amount of $1.5 million, newly issued shares of SpinCo common stock amounting to 4.9% of the outstanding SpinCo common stock after issuance.
