NOTES TO THE CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(unaudited, in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

 

1. Corporate information

As discussed in note 19, pursuant to a plan of arrangement, AuRico Gold Inc. (“AuRico” or the “Company”) and Alamos Gold Inc. (“Former Alamos”) amalgamated on July 2, 2015 and continued as one company, Alamos Gold Inc. (“Alamos”). Alamos is engaged in the acquisition, exploration, development and extraction of precious metals. Alamos is a publicly traded company with common shares listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX: AGI) and the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: AGI). Alamos is incorporated and domiciled in Canada and its head office and registered office is located at 130 Adelaide Street West, Suite 2200, Toronto, Ontario, M5H 3P5.

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries were authorized for issue in accordance with a resolution of the Board of Directors dated August 11, 2015.

 

2. Basis of preparation and statement of compliance

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting (“IAS 34”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). These statements were prepared using the same accounting policies and methods of computation as the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, except as disclosed below in note 4(a).

These condensed interim consolidated financial statements do not include all disclosures required by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) for annual consolidated financial statements and accordingly should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB.

 

3. Change in accounting policy and retrospective restatement

The condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect the retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting policy adopted in 2014 to classify, in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations, foreign exchange gains and losses arising on the translation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities within deferred income tax recovery instead of within foreign exchange gains / (losses), as previously reported. The change in accounting policy was adopted in accordance with IAS 12, Income Taxes, which provides a policy choice to classify exchange differences arising from translation of deferred income tax assets and liabilities within deferred income tax expense / (recovery). The Company considers the classification of these exchange differences within deferred income tax recovery in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations to be the most useful to financial statement users and, consequently, that this presentation results in reliable and more relevant information.

The following table outlines the effect of this accounting policy change for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014:

4. Accounting changes and recent pronouncements

 

(a) Adoption of new accounting standards

The Company adopted the following accounting standards and amendments to accounting standards, effective January 1, 2015:

Amendments to IAS 19, Employee Benefits, clarify requirements in relation to contributions by employees and third parties. In addition, these amendments permit contributions that are independent of the number of years of service to be recognized as a reduction in the service cost in the period in which the service is rendered, instead of allocating the contributions to periods of service. There was no impact on the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements upon the adoption of these amendments.

 

(b) Standards issued but not yet adopted

For the purposes of preparing and presenting the Company’s condensed interim consolidated financial statements, the Company has adopted all applicable standards and interpretations issued other than those discussed below. These standards have not been adopted because they are not effective for the Company until subsequent to December 31, 2015. Standards and interpretations issued, but not yet adopted include:

 

    

Effective for the Company

Amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements    January 1, 2016
Amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment    January 1, 2016
Amendments to IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures    January 1, 2016
Amendments to IAS 38, Intangibles    January 1, 2016
Amendments to IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements    January 1, 2016
Amendments to IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements    January 1, 2016
IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers    January 1, 2018
IFRS 9, Financial Instruments    January 1, 2018

In December 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements. These amendments clarify materiality guidance, aggregation and disaggregation of items in the statement of financial position, aggregation of an entity’s share of other comprehensive income of equity-accounted associates and joint ventures, and guidance on ordering of financial statement notes. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment and IAS 38, Intangibles. These amendments prohibit the use of revenue-based depreciation methods for property, plant and equipment and limit the use of revenue-based amortization for intangible assets. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016 and are to be applied prospectively. These amendments are not anticipated to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as revenue-based depreciation or amortization methods are not used.

In September 2014, the IASB issued amendments to IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures, and IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. These amendments address a conflict between IAS 28 and IFRS 10 and clarify that in a transaction involving an associate or joint venture the extent of gain or loss recognition depends on whether the assets sold or contributed constitute a business. These amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the IAS issued amendments to IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements. The amendments clarify the accounting for acquisitions of an interest in a joint operation when the operation constitutes a business. The amendments are effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2016, with earlier application being permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of these amendments on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. The standard replaces IAS 11, Construction Contracts; IAS 18, Revenue; IFRIC 13, Customer Loyalty Programmes; IFRIC 15, Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate; IFRIC 18, Transfer of Assets from Customers; and SIC 31, Revenue – Barter Transactions Involving Advertising Services. This standard establishes principles for reporting the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from an entity’s contract with customers. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2014, the IASB issued IFRS 9, Financial Instruments, which will replace IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement. The replacement standard provides a new model for the classification and measurement of financial instruments. The IASB has determined the revised effective date for IFRS 9 will be for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2018. The Company will evaluate the impact of the change to the consolidated financial statements based on the characteristics of financial instruments outstanding at the time of adoption.

As at June 30, 2015, the carrying values of the El Chanate ore in process heap leach inventory and the Young-Davidson low grade stockpile inventory exceeded their net realizable values. As a result, the Company recognized net realizable value adjustments, which impacted production costs and amortization and depletion. Ore stockpile and ore in process inventories include mining and processing costs, along with amortization and depletion related to mining and processing operations. The net realizable value adjustments totaling $11,739 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 - $nil) have been allocated on a pro-rata basis between production costs and amortization and depletion based on their relative values at June 30, 2015.

6. Assets and liabilities held for distribution

As part of the plan of arrangement (note 1 and note 19), a new company AuRico Metals Inc. (“AuRico Metals”), a public company listed on the TSX, was created to hold the Company’s Kemess project (“Kemess”), a new 1.5% net smelter return royalty on the Young-Davidson mine, the 2% and 1% net smelter return royalties from the Fosterville and Stawell mines (the “Australian royalties”, see note 8), and $20 million in cash. On July 2, 2015, 95.1% of the common shares of AuRico Metals were distributed to holders of AuRico common shares and holders of Former Alamos common shares. Subsequent to completion of the plan of arrangement, Alamos owns 4.9% of the issued and outstanding common shares of AuRico Metals.

(a) Measurement of assets and liabilities held for distribution

In accordance with IFRS 5, Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations, the Company has classified the assets and liabilities to be transferred to AuRico Metals as assets or liabilities held for distribution on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheet as at June 30, 2015. Assets held for distribution are recognized at the lower of their carrying amount and fair value less costs to distribute.

The Company determined the fair value of royalty assets held for distribution at June 30, 2015 using a valuation model based on the discounted future cash flows expected to be generated. The valuations of the Young-Davidson and Australian royalties were completed assuming future gold prices between $1,100 and $1,250, and using discount rates of 6% and 12.5%, respectively. The future production from these mines was estimated based on the mine plans and reported reserves. The fair value of the Australian royalties exceeded that of the carrying value and, therefore, no adjustment was required.

The allocated cost of the Young-Davidson royalty was estimated at $37,000, which has been deducted from the Young-Davidson mineral property (refer to note 7).

The Company determined the fair value of the Kemess assets, excluding mineral resources, using a discounted cash flow methodology taking into account the assumptions that would be made by market participants. Management projects cash flows over the life of the Kemess mine using forecasted production and costs per the Company’s life of mine plan and the forecasted price of gold and copper to project future revenues.

The key assumptions used in determining the fair value of Kemess were as follows:

 

    Long-term gold price of $1,250 per ounce;

 

    Long-term copper price of $3.00 per pound;

 

    Long-term US dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate of $0.85 to $1.00;

 

    Production, operating costs and capital expenditures based on the expected life of mine plan developed from technical reports;

 

    A discount rate of 8%; and

 

    A net asset value (“NAV”) multiple of 0.3, which is discussed in more detail below.

Gold and other mining companies can trade at a market capitalization greater, or less, than their estimated discounted cash flows. This NAV multiple represents the multiple applied to the estimated discounted cash flows to arrive at the trading price. This NAV multiple, in this case, would take into account a variety of additional factors such as the availability of financing, risks associated with permitting, government and other approvals, exploration potential, namely the ability to find more metal than what is included in the life of mine plan, and the benefit of gold and copper price optionality.

Mineral resources at the Kemess property were valued by referencing comparable transaction multiples and comparable company trading multiples to arrive at an implied value per unit of metal.

At June 30, 2015, the fair value of the Kemess assets and liabilities held for distribution was $60,145, compared with a carrying amount of $90,145. As a result, a $40,112 revaluation loss (net of a tax recovery of $10,112) was recorded in the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015.

(c) Distribution payable

Upon receiving Ontario Superior Court approval of the Arrangement on June 26, 2015, following shareholder approval on June 24, 2015, management determined that completion of the plan of arrangement and distribution of assets and liabilities to AuRico Metals, as described above, was appropriately authorized and no longer at the discretion of the Company. Therefore, in accordance with IFRIC 17, Distribution of non-cash assets to owners, the Company recorded a distribution payable of $147,413. After adjusting for the revaluation loss noted above, the current carrying values of assets and liabilities approximate fair value at June 30, 2015.

(a) Reclassification of assets held for distribution

As discussed in note 6, in accordance with the plan of arrangement, AuRico Metals will receive a 1.5% net smelter return royalty on the Young-Davidson mine. The allocated carrying amount of this royalty of $37,000 has been reclassified in the table above from depletable mining interests to assets held for distribution. In addition, the Company will transfer the net assets of Kemess to AuRico Metals. As a result, carrying amounts of $17,296 and $58,855 have been transferred from property, plant and equipment and exploration and evaluation property, respectively, to assets held for distribution.

(b) Other

The carrying value of construction in progress at June 30, 2015 was $60,575 (December 31, 2014 - $57,057).

The Company has made non-cancellable commitments to acquire property, plant and equipment totaling $10,518 at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $9,189).

 

8. Intangible assets

As part of the consideration received from the sale of the Fosterville and Stawell mines on May 4, 2012 to Crocodile Gold Corporation (“Crocodile Gold”), the Company received a retained interest royalty. Per the agreement, once the cumulative free cash flow generated by the mines subsequent to closing reached $60 million Canadian dollars (“CAD”), the Company would receive 100% of the next CAD $30 million of cumulative free cash flow in excess of CAD $60 million, and 50% of the next CAD $30 million of cumulative free cash flow in excess of CAD $90 million. In addition, the Company would receive 20% of any cumulative free cash flow in excess of CAD $120 million.

On January 14, 2015, following receipt of regulatory approval, the Company and Crocodile Gold terminated the retained interest royalty. As consideration for the termination of the retained interest royalty, the Company received cash proceeds of $16,725 (CAD $20,000) upon closing and was granted a net smelter return royalty of 2% from the Fosterville mine and 1% from the Stawell mine. The net smelter return royalties were recognized as intangible assets at their estimated fair values of $9,207 in aggregate at the date of acquisition, and a gain of $5,215, resulting from the termination of the retained interest royalty, was recognized in other loss in the six months ended June 30, 2015 (note 14).

The Company depletes these assets using the unit-of-production method. Income from these arrangements is recognized when related ounces are shipped. The Fosterville royalty commenced upon closing of the agreement, and the Stawell mine royalty will commence on the earlier of January 1, 2016 or the date immediately following the production of 10,000 ounces from the Big Hill Project.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company recognized income of $696 and $1,320, respectively, and depletion expense of $349 and $659, respectively, on the net smelter return royalties.

As discussed in note 6, in accordance with the plan of arrangement, these royalties were transferred to AuRico Metals on July 2, 2015 and have been reclassified as assets held for distribution at June 30, 2015, measured at the lower of carrying value and fair value less costs to distribute.

 

9. Impairment

In accordance with the Company’s accounting policy and applicable IFRS, goodwill is tested for impairment each year at December 31 and also when there is an indicator of impairment. Non-financial assets and cash generating units (“CGUs”) are tested for impairment or a reversal of impairment whenever there are indicators that an impairment has occurred or should be reversed. The fair value of these non-financial assets are based on unobservable inputs (level 3 of fair value hierarchy, refer to note 17).

Indicators of impairment

At June 30,2015, management identified certain facts and circumstances indicating possible impairments including: (a) changes in the economic assumptions based on the continued depressed long term gold price outlook and a reduction of net asset value (“NAV”) multiples applied to mining properties, (b) the market capitalization of the Company continued to be significantly below the carrying value of the net assets at period end, (c) results of operations to date in 2015, and (d) the results of an independent third party review of the cost estimates included in the Young-Davidson life of mine (“LOM”) plan. As a result, an impairment assessment in accordance with IAS 36 was performed for the Young-Davidson and El Chanate CGUs.

As a result of this assessment, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the recoverable amount for both CGUs. The recoverable amount was determined by assessing the fair value less costs of disposal (“FVLCD”) on the estimated discounted cash flows of the mining interests.

Consequently, an impairment charge of $326,000 was recorded relating to the Young-Davidson CGU, consisting of a reduction in goodwill allocated to the CGU of $241,693, reducing the goodwill allocated to the CGU to $nil, and a reduction in property, plant and equipment and mining interests, and intangible assets of $84,307. In addition, an impairment charge of $40,041 was recorded relating to the El Chanate CGU, consisting of a reduction in property, plant and equipment and mining interests, and intangible assets of $40,041.

Key assumptions

The FVLCD at Young-Davidson was negatively impacted by the increase in operating and capital cost assumptions used in the LOM plan to reflect the current and updated future estimated performance, the decrease in the long-term gold price assumption by $50 per ounce and a reduction in the NAV multiple by 0.05 to 1.00. In addition, based on operating and capital costs experienced in 2015 relative to budget, the Company has increased the discount rate from 5.50% to 6.00%.

As at June 30, 2015, the key macro-economic assumptions and estimates used in determining the FVLCD were related to gold prices, discount rates, foreign exchange rates and NAV multiples. The key assumptions used in the Young-Davidson CGU impairment test in the second quarter of 2015 were summarized in the table below:

 

Young-Davidson    June 30
2015
    December 31
2014
 

Long-term gold price per ounce

   $ 1,250      $ 1,300   

Discount rate

     6.00     5.50

NAV multiple

     1.00        1.05   

Foreign exchange rate (C$1 / US$)

   $ 0.85      $ 0.85   

Operating cost and capital expenditure estimates are based on LOM plans and are management’s best estimate. As a result of performance to-date in 2015 and an independent third party review of the costs completed during the year, operating costs and capital expenditures in the LOM plan have increased from December 31, 2014 to June 30, 2015.

The FVLCD at El Chanate was negatively impacted by the decrease in the long-term gold price assumption by $50 per ounce and increased estimates of future processing costs.

The key macro-economic assumptions used in the El Chanate impairment test in second quarter of 2015 are summarized in the table below:

 

El Chanate    June 30
2015
    December 31
2014
 

Long-term gold price per ounce

   $ 1,250      $ 1,300

NAV multiple

     1.00        1.00   

Foreign exchange rate (US$1 / MXN Peso)

   $ 14.0      $ 14.0   

Sensitivities

As the Company has written Young-Davidson and El Chanate down to its recoverable amount at June 30, 2015, any further changes in the key assumptions could give rise to an increase or decrease in the recoverable amount of the property, plant and equipment and mining interests.

(a) Senior Secured Notes

On March 27, 2014, the Company completed an offering of $315,000 senior secured notes (the “secured notes”), secured by a second-ranking lien on all present and future assets, property and undertaking of the Company. These secured notes were sold at 96.524% of par, resulting in total proceeds of $304,051. The secured notes pay interest in semi-annual installments on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing on October 1, 2014, at a rate of 7.75% per annum, and mature on April 1, 2020. The Company incurred transaction costs of $7,838, which have been offset against the carrying amount of the secured notes and are amortized using the effective interest rate method. These notes contain transaction-based restrictive covenants that limit the Company’s ability to incur additional indebtedness in certain circumstances. There are no covenants that are based on the Company’s historical financial performance.

The senior secured notes indenture grants the Company the option to prepay the notes prior to the maturity of the instruments, and specifies a premium during each applicable time period. These prepayment options have been accounted for as embedded derivatives, and are outlined below:

 

    Subsequent to April 1, 2017, the secured notes may be repurchased at 103.875% of par value

 

    Subsequent to April 1, 2018, the secured notes may be repurchased at 101.938% of par value

 

    Subsequent to April 1, 2019, the secured notes may be repurchased at 100% of par value

The fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative was $9.3 million at June 30, 2015, and was offset against the carrying amount of the secured notes (see note 17(a)).

 

(b) Equipment Financing Obligations

The Company has entered into financing obligations and capital leases for equipment, which expire at various dates between 2015 and 2020. Interest payable on the various obligations ranges from fixed rates of 2.71% to 5.77%. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company entered into capital leases with a total initial value of $1,763 and $5,667, respectively.

(d) Stock options (in Canadian dollars)

The Company has a long-term incentive plan under which share-based compensation, including stock options, deferred share units, performance share units, and restricted share units may be granted to directors, officers, employees, and consultants of the Company. The maximum number of common shares that may be reserved and set aside for issuance under the plan is 6.5% of the common shares outstanding at the time of granting the award (on a non-diluted basis). Stock options are generally exercisable for a maximum period of five to seven years from the grant date, and have vesting periods of three to four years or as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors.

Stock option disclosures are in Canadian dollars as the Canadian dollar is the source currency of the Company’s stock option grants.

No stock options were granted during the six months ended June 30, 2015. The fair value of the options granted during the six months ended June 30, 2014 were calculated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

15. Loss per share

Basic loss per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares and common share equivalents outstanding during the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 of 264,939,446 and 263,453,673 (three and six months ended June 30, 2014 - 248,495,726 and 248,343,301). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014, net loss and basic weighted average shares outstanding are equal to diluted loss and diluted weighted average shares outstanding, as the impact of all potential common shares was anti-dilutive.

The following items were excluded from the computation of diluted weighted average shares outstanding for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 because their effect would have been anti-dilutive:

17. Financial instruments and risk management

Fair values of financial instruments

The following table sets forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy. The Company does not have any non-recurring fair value measurements. Levels 1 to 3 are defined based on the degree to which fair value inputs are observable or unobservable, as follows:

 

    Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

 

    Level 2 inputs are based on inputs which have a significant effect on fair value that are observable, either directly or indirectly from market data; and

 

    Level 3 inputs are unobservable (supported by little or no market activity).

The methods of measuring each of these financial assets and liabilities have not changed during 2015. The Company does not have any financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value based on unobservable inputs (Level 3).

The fair values of financial instruments measured at amortized cost, except for the senior secured notes, as discussed below, approximate their carrying amounts at June 30, 2015. The fair value of the senior secured notes was $316,575 at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 - $289,800) compared to a carrying value of $294,967 (December 31, 2014 - $296,755), which includes the value of the prepayment option embedded derivative included in the table above. The fair value of the senior secured notes was determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market.

 

(a) Prepayment option embedded derivative

On March 27, 2014, the Company completed an offering of $315,000 senior secured notes (the “secured notes”). The senior secured notes indenture grants the Company the option to prepay the notes prior to the maturity of the instruments, and specifies a premium during each applicable time period. These prepayment options have been accounted for as embedded derivatives that require bifurcation from the host contract, and are outlined below:

 

    Subsequent to April 1, 2017, the secured notes may be repurchased at 103.875% of par value

 

    Subsequent to April 1, 2018, the secured notes may be repurchased at 101.938% of par value

 

    Subsequent to April 1, 2019, the secured notes may be repurchased at 100% of par value

The prepayment options are measured at fair value and offset against the carrying value of the secured notes on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Balance Sheets, with changes in the fair value recognized as unrealized gains / (losses) in other loss on the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations (note 14).

The Company measures the fair value of the prepayment option embedded derivative using the Black-Karasinski model of interest rate uncertainty within a FinCAD callable / puttable bond model. Because the valuation is dependent on inputs derived from observable market data, the embedded derivative component of the secured notes is classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value was calculated using the following assumptions:

 

     June 30
2015
    June 30
2014
 

Volatility

     40     32

Credit spreads

Changes in these assumptions would have the following impact on net loss for the three months ended June 30, 2015:

 

     June 30
2015
     June 30
2014
 

2% increase in volatility

   $ 1,323       $ 567

   $ (1,355    $ (567

0.5% increase in credit spreads

   $ (1,103    $ (756

0.5% decrease in credit spreads

   $ 1,260       $ 851   

 

(b) Equity investments

The Company’s available-for-sale equity investments are valued using quoted market prices in active markets and, as such, are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of investment securities is calculated as the closing market price of the investment equity security multiplied by the quantity of shares held by the Company.

 

(c) Currency options

The fair value of option contracts is determined using a market approach with reference to observable market prices for identical assets traded in an active market, and as such, option contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The use of reasonably possible alternative assumptions would not significantly affect the Company’s results.

As at June 30, 2015, the Company held option contracts to protect against the risk of an increase in the value of the Canadian dollar and Mexican peso versus the US dollar. The details of these option contracts for the purchase of local currencies and the sale of US dollars, which settle on a monthly basis, are summarized as follows:

The fair value of these contracts was a liability of $1,379 at June 30, 2015 (December 31, 2014 – liability of $447). During the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, the Company made payments of $208 and $690 on option contracts settled during the period, and recognized unrealized gains and losses of $1,444 and $933, respectively, on option contracts outstanding at June 30, 2015 in other loss within the Condensed Interim Consolidated Statements of Operations (note 14).

18. Segmented information

The Company’s reportable segments are consistent with the Company’s operating segments and consist of the geographical regions in which the Company operates. In determining the Company’s segment structure, the Company considered the basis on which management, including the chief operating decision maker, reviews the financial and operational performance of the Company, and whether any of the Company’s mining operations share similar economic, operational and regulatory characteristics. The Company has two reportable segments, as follows:

 

    Mexico: El Chanate mine

 

    Canada: Young-Davidson mine

Corporate and other consists of the Company’s corporate offices and exploration properties.

19. Events after the reporting period

 

(a) Merger with Former Alamos

On July 2, 2015, the Company completed the merger with Former Alamos pursuant to which the Company and Former Alamos combined by way of a statutory arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario) (the “Arrangement”) to form a company operating under the name Alamos Gold Inc. Former Alamos is an established Canadian-based gold producer that owns and operates the Mulatos Mine in Sonora, Mexico, and has exploration and development activities in Mexico, Turkey and the United States.

The Arrangement included the following:

 

  (a) The exchange of common shares of Former Alamos for AuRico common shares based on an exchange ratio of 1.9818 and cash of $0.0001;

 

  (b) The amalgamation of Former Alamos and AuRico, forming the resulting company, Alamos;

 

  (c) The formation of AuRico Metals to hold certain assets (note 6);

 

  (d) The reorganization of the capital of Alamos into Class A common shares (note 19(d)), and the distribution of common shares of AuRico Metals to holders of AuRico common shares and holders of Former Alamos common shares (note 19(c)).

Upon completion of the Arrangement, holders of AuRico’s common shares had received 0.5046 Class A common shares of Alamos for each AuRico common share held and holders of Former Alamos common shares had received 1 Class A common share of Alamos and $0.0001 in cash for each share held.

Under the Arrangement, all Former Alamos options and stock appreciation rights were replaced and converted to awards of Alamos, Former Alamos warrants, restricted share units and deferred share units were exchanged for awards of Alamos, and all AuRico options, performance share units, restricted share units and deferred share units were converted to awards of Alamos, and all such awards were amended to provide that on exercise or redemption, Class A common shares of Alamos will be issued, to the extent not redeemed for cash consideration (note 19(d)).

In connection with the Merger, as described in note 11(b), on April 10, 2015, Former Alamos subscribed for approximately 27.9 million common shares of AuRico on a private placement basis. The common shares held by Former Alamos are included in the identified assets acquired by AuRico, and were subsequently repurchased and cancelled upon closing of the transaction on July 2, 2015.

The Company determined that the Merger was a business combination in accordance with the definition in IFRS 3, Business combinations, and as such has accounted for it in accordance with this standard, with AuRico being the accounting acquirer on the acquisition date of July 2, 2015.

(unaudited, in thousands of United States dollars unless otherwise stated)

 

 

The following table summarizes the fair value of the total consideration transferred to Former Alamos shareholders and the fair value of identified assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on preliminary estimates of fair value. Due to the recent timing of the acquisition, the fair value assigned to the identified assets and liabilities is preliminary and may be revised by the Company as additional information becomes available. In particular, the Company is currently assessing the value of the mining interests and property, plant & equipment and deferred taxes acquired, in order to support the value assigned to these assets upon acquisition. The Company expects to finalize the determination of the fair values of the assets and liabilities acquired within 12 months of the acquisition date, which could result in material differences from the preliminary values presented in these financial statements. Transaction costs of $6,012 relating to the arrangement have been expensed in the period in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations.
