Acquisition of CVP Limited Partnership Interests

 

On January 2, 2014, Royal Gold, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, DMFC, increased its ownership interest in the NVR1 Royalty by acquiring all or a portion of the limited partnership interests of nine limited partners in CVP, aggregating 49.465% of the outstanding limited partnership interests, for approximately $11.5 million.  The limited partners from whom DMFC acquired limited partnership interests included our Chairman of the Board of Directors, who sold 3.0% out of his total 3.063% interest; one other member of our Board of Directors, who sold his entire 8.0% interest; and a former member of our Board of Directors, who sold his entire 24.5% interest.  As a result of the transaction, DMFC now holds 81.098% of the outstanding limited partnership interests in the CVP, equating to a 1.014% net value royalty on production from all of the lands covered by the NVR1 Royalty excluding production from the mining claims comprising the Crossroad deposit (the “Crossroad Claims”) at Cortez, and a 0.618% net value royalty on production from the Crossroad Claims.  The Crossroad Claims are part of the Pipeline Complex.  The remaining related party, our Chairman of the Board of Directors, now holds a 0.063% limited partner interest in CVP.
