Changes in the fair value of the Company’s investment in equity securities are recognized each period in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Fair value adjustments, net. See Note 12 -- Fair Value Measurements for additional details.

On January 4, 2021, the Company completed the sale of 83,556 shares of common stock of Metalla Royalty & Streaming Ltd. (“Metalla”) (“Metalla Common Shares”) at an average price (net of commission) of $11.19 per Metalla Common Share for net proceeds of $0.9 million, resulting in a realized gain of $0.8 million.

On May 10, 2021, the Company entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Orion Co-VI Ltd. (“Orion”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, Orion sold 11,067,714 common shares of Victoria Gold Corp., a British Columbia company (“Victoria”) (representing approximately 17.8% of Victoria’s outstanding common shares) to the Company. As consideration for the purchase of Victoria shares, Coeur issued 12,785,485 shares of its common stock (approximately 4.9% of issued and outstanding shares) to Orion.

The Exchange Agreement provides that Orion may be entitled to additional Coeur shares in the event Coeur acquires Victoria in the future for a higher per share consideration, subject to the terms and conditions of the Exchange Agreement. The Company determined that the potential for additional share consideration pursuant to the terms of the Exchange Agreement represents an embedded derivative that requires bifurcation. The obligation to deliver additional Coeur shares pursuant to the Exchange Agreement expires on October 31, 2021. The accounting treatment of derivative financial instruments requires that the Company record the fair value of the embedded derivative as of the inception date of the Exchange Agreement and adjust the fair value as of each subsequent balance sheet date. See Note 12 -- Fair Value Measurements and Note 13 -- Derivative Financial Instruments for additional details.
