Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.
On November 22, 2013, Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur” or the “Company”) entered into a Support Agreement (the “Support Agreement”) with Global Royalty Corp, a corporation existing under the laws of the Province of British Columbia (“GRC”), and the other parties named therein. In connection with the Support Agreement, Coeur agreed to commence an exempt take-over bid in order to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of GRC (the “Offer”). The consideration payable to GRC shareholders upon consummation of the Offer is $2.68 for each common share of GRC, of which $0.03 will be payable in cash and $2.65 will be payable in shares of the Company's common stock, for an aggregate transaction consideration of approximately $23.8 million. Pursuant to the Support Agreement, assuming all GRC common shares are tendered in the Offer, it is expected that the Company will issue 2,130,224 shares of its common stock to the former GRC shareholders at closing, which is expected to occur by mid-December 2013. The shares of Company common stock to be issued to GRC shareholders are valued at $11.07 per share, based on the volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days prior to the execution of the Support Agreement. The Company's issuance of common stock to the GRC shareholders will be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to Rule 802 thereunder as an offering in connection with an exchange offer for the securities of foreign private issuers.
