[1] Borrowings under the revolving senior secured credit facility are secured by first-ranking assignments of all rights, title and interest in all of La Cima's concentrate sale agreements. In addition, the offshore and onshore collection accounts of La Cima are subject to an account control agreement and a first-ranking charge in favour of the lenders. This facility is non-recourse to the rest of the Group. The total amount available under this facility at December 31, 2015 was $150.0 million (2014: $75.0 million) At December 31, 2015, La Cima did not meet certain covenants specified in the revolving senior secured credit facility agreement. The lenders subsequently waived their rights and entitlements arising from the failiure of La Cima to meet the specific covenants.
[2] As part of the unbundling of Sibanye Gold in 2013, an indemnity agreement ("the Indemnity Agreement") was entered into between the Guarantors, pursuant to which the Guarantors (other than Sibanye Gold) hold Sibanye Gold harmless from and against any and all liabilities and expenses which may be incurred by Sibanye Gold under or in connection with the Notes, including any payment obligations by Sibanye Gold to the noteholders or the trustee of the Notes pursuant to the guarantee of the Notes, all on the terms and subject to the conditions contained therein. In March 2015, Gold Fields approached the noteholders through a consent solicitation process to release Sibanye Gold of its obligation as a guarantor under the Notes. On April 22, 2015 the noteholders approved the various resolutions to release Sibanye Gold as a guarantor. The release became effective on 24 April 2015 when all the conditions to the extraordinary resolution were met.
[3] The balance is net of unamortised transaction costs amounting to $7.4 million which will unwind over the remaining period of the notes as an interest expense. The payment of all amounts due in respect of the Notes is unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by Gold Fields Limited ("Gold Fields"), Sibanye Gold (up to April 24, 2015), Gold Fields Operations Limited ("GFO") and Gold Fields Holdings Company (BVI) Limited ("GF Holdings") (collectively "the Guarantors"), on a joint and several basis. The Notes and guarantees constitute direct, unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Orogen and the Guarantors, respectively, and rank equally in right of payment among themselves and with all other existing and future unsubordinated and unsecured obligations of Orogen and the Guarantors, respectively. Subsequent to year-end, on February 19, 2016, Gold Fields Australasia (Proprietary) Limited ("GFA") announced an offer to purchase $200.0 million of its Notes at discounts of 17% to the original value. GFA would pay a minimum of $830 for every $1,000 of the securities. GFA announced that it has accepted for purchase an aggregate principal amount of Notes equal to $147.6 million at the purchase price of $880 per $1,000 in principal amount of Notes. GFA intends to hold the notes acquired until their maturity on October 7, 2020. The purchase of the notes amounting to $147.6 million was financed by drawing down under the $1,510 million term loan and revolving credit facilities.
