The Additional Notes constitute a further issuance of the Original Notes (as defined below) and form a single series of debt securities with the Original Notes. Upon completion of Coeur’s offering of the Additional Notes, the aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Notes was $450 million. The Company commenced an exchange offer for the Additional Notes on April 10, 2014 to exchange the Additional Notes for freely transferable notes containing substantially similar terms, in accordance with the registration rights granted to the holders of the Additional Notes when they were issued. The exchange offer was consummated on May 9, 2014. On January 29, 2013, the Company completed an offering of $300 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.875% Senior Notes due 2021 (the “Original Notes”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to the Securities Act.

The exchange offer was consummated on November 5, 2013. 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 Per the indenture governing the 3.25% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 (the “Convertible Notes”), the Company announced on February 13, 2013 that it was offering to repurchase all of the Convertible Notes. As of February 12, 2013, there was $48.7 million aggregate principal amount of Convertible Notes outstanding. The Company repurchased $43.3 million in aggregate principal amount, leaving a balance of $5.3 million at December 31, 2014. The Convertible Notes are classified as current liabilities at December 31, 2014 as a result of the holders' option to require the Company to repurchase the notes on March 15, 2015. Revolving Credit Facility On August 1, 2012, Coeur Alaska, Inc. and Coeur Rochester, Inc. (the “Borrowers”), each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Credit Agreement (as subsequently amended on January 16, 2014, the “Credit Agreement”) by and among the Company, the Borrowers, the lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as administrative agent. The Credit Agreement provided for a senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $100.0 million, which principal amount may be increased, subject to receiving additional commitments therefor, by up to $50.0 million. On March 20, 2014, the Borrowers notified the administrative agent that they were terminating the Revolving Credit Facility, effective March 25, 2014. The Company wrote off $3.0 million related to the termination of the Credit Agreement in the year ended December 31, 2014. No amounts were outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility at the time of termination, and no early termination penalty was payable in connection with the termination. Lines of Credit At December 31, 2014, San Bartolomé had two outstanding lines of credit. The first line of credit is for $12.0 million bearing interest at 6.0% per annum, maturing in 360 days. The second line of credit is for $15.0 million bearing interest at 6.0%, maturing in three years. Both lines of credit are secured with machinery and equipment. There is an aggregate outstanding balance of $14.8 million on both lines of credit at December 31, 2014. Palmarejo Gold Production Royalty Obligation On January 21, 2009, Coeur Mexicana entered into a gold production royalty transaction with a subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation under which the subsidiary of Franco-Nevada Corporation purchased a royalty covering 50% of the life of mine gold to be produced from its Palmarejo silver and gold mine in Mexico. The royalty agreement provides for a minimum obligation to be paid monthly on a total of 400,000 ounces of gold, or 4,167 ounces per month over an initial eight year period. Each monthly payment is an amount equal to the greater of 4,167 ounces of gold or 50% of actual gold production multiplied by the excess of the monthly average market price of gold above $408 per ounce, subject to a 1% annual inflation compounding adjustment. Payments under the royalty agreement are made in cash or gold bullion. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, the Company paid $48.4 million, $57.0 million, and $74.7 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014, payments had been made on a total of 315,085 ounces of gold with further payments to be made on an additional 84,915 ounces of gold. The Company used an implicit interest rate of 30.5% to discount the original royalty obligation, based on the fair value of the consideration received projected over the expected future cash flows at inception of the obligation. The discounted obligation is accreted to its expected future value over the expected minimum payment period based on the implicit interest rate. The Company recognized accretion expense for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 of $10.8 million, $17.6 million, and $19.1 million, respectively. At December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the remaining minimum obligation under the royalty agreement was $34.0 million and $51.2 million, respectively.
