SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

On April 17, 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount"). At the closing of the transaction, Paramount became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and each issued and outstanding share of Paramount common stock was converted into the right to receive 0.2016 shares of Coeur common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. The Company issued approximately 32.7 million shares of common stock as consideration in the transaction. Immediately prior to completion of the acquisition, Paramount spun off to its existing stockholders a separate, publicly traded company, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. ("SpinCo"), which owns the Sleeper Gold Project and other assets in Nevada. As part of the transaction, the Company made a loan to Paramount in the principal amount of $8.5 million and Paramount contributed substantially all of the proceeds of such loan to SpinCo as an equity contribution. The Company also paid $1.5 million cash in exchange for newly issued shares of SpinCo common stock amounting to 4.9% of the outstanding SpinCo common stock after the issuance.
