ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES | ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Acquisitions Acquisition of additional 30% ownership in Kartaltepe On November 17, 2022, the Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary Alacer Gold Madencilik A.S., completed the acquisition of an additional 30% ownership in Kartaltepe Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi (“Kartaltepe”) from joint venture partner Lidya Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş (“Lidya”) (the “Transaction) for total consideration of $150.0 million in cash. The Company previously owned 50% of Kartaltepe and accounted for its interest as an equity method investment with a reported amount of $4.2 million. Upon completion of the Transaction, the Company now owns 80% of Kartaltepe and is considered the primary beneficiary of the VIE and will consolidate Kartaltepe under ASC 810. The Company's acquisition of Kartaltepe is included in the Çöpler mine operating segment. The Transaction provides increased exposure for the Company to potential exploration success on the geologically prospective Kartaltepe licenses, including Çakmaktepe Extension, Çakmaktepe, and the Mavialtin Porphyry Belt. Additionally, the Transaction is expected to deliver material synergies through the remainder of Ҫӧpler’s mine life. The Company concluded that Kartaltepe was not a business based on its assessment under ASC 805 and accounted for the acquisition as an initial consolidation of a VIE that is not a business under ASC 810. As a result of the Transaction the Company recognized a gain of $81.9 million during the fourth quarter of 2022, included in Gain on acquisition of Kartaltepe in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The gain represents the difference between: (i) the fair value of consideration paid, the fair value of the non-controlling interests, and the reported amount of the previously held interest and (ii) the total amount of the net assets recognized at fair value. At acquisition, the Company recognized all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at an aggregate fair value of $284.7 million, primarily consisting of $361.6 million in Mineral properties, plant and equipment, net 1 and $72.3 million in Deferred tax liabilities 2 on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of Lidya’s 20% interest of $48.6 million was recognized as Non-controlling interest on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company retained a third-party appraiser to assist in determining the fair value of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, and non-controlling interest as of the acquisition date. The fair value estimates were based on income and market valuation methods 1. Fair value is a market-based measurement and does not include entity-specific synergies. Acquisition of Taiga Gold Corp. On April 14, 2022, the Company completed the purchase of all the issued and outstanding common shares of Taiga Gold Corp. (“Taiga Gold”), which holds the exploration and evaluation stage resources in Saskatchewan, Canada in proximity to the Company’s Seabee mine and Fisher project. The transaction was accounted for as an asset acquisition for total consideration of $24.8 million. The total consideration was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values on the acquisition date, which consisted primarily of cash and cash equivalents of $4.7 million, exploration and evaluation assets of $27.8 million, and a related deferred tax liability of $7.5 million. The assets are included in the Seabee mine operating segment. Acquisition of Alacer Gold Corporation On September 16, 2020 (“Acquisition Date”), the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Alacer Gold Corp. ("Alacer"). The acquisition of Alacer created a diversified portfolio of high quality, long-life mines across four mining-friendly jurisdictions. The Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Alacer, with Alacer shareholders receiving 0.3246 of the Company’s common stock for every one Alacer share (the "Exchange Ratio"). The transaction resulted in the issuance of 95,699,911 of the Company’s common stock to the former shareholders of Alacer. All outstanding RSUs, PSUs and DSUs of Alacer that were not exercised prior to the Acquisition Date were replaced with the Company units (the RSU Replacement Units, the PSU Replacement Units, and the DSU Replacement Units, respectively), with the number of such securities issued adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. Upon closing of the transaction, the Company and former Alacer shareholders owned 57% and 43%, respectively, of the shares of the combined entity. Upon the completion of the transaction, Alacer became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Alacer holds an 80% interest in Anagold Madencilik Sanayi ve Ticaret Anonim Şirketi ("Anagold"), the owner and operator of Çöpler, a large-scale open pit gold mine in east-central Türkiye. The 20% non-controlling interest in Anagold is held by Lidya. Based upon the September 15, 2020 closing stock price of the Company's common stock, the total purchase price consideration of the acquisition was $2.2 billion The Company incurred transaction and integration costs of $6.9 million and $20.8 million which included $11.0 million for severance and termination payments to executives, for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These costs were recognized in Other operating expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The acquisition of Alacer was accounted for as a business combination which requires the measurement of acquired assets and liabilities assumed at their respective fair values at the date of acquisition. The Acquisition Date fair value of the consideration transferred consists of the following (in thousands):
Share consideration (1) |  | $ | 2,127,284 |
RSU, PSU and DSU consideration (2) |  |  | 52,363 |
Total consideration |  | $ | 2,179,647 |
(1)The fair value of 95,699,911 common shares issued to Alacer shareholders was determined using the Company's common share price of $22.22 per share on September 15, 2020. (2)The fair value of 3,570,261 RSU, 3,463,023 PSU and 1,158,071 DSU consideration units issued was determined using the Alacer share price of $7.21 on September 15, 2020, adjusted for the Exchange Ratio. Of the amount relating to the RSU, PSU and DSU consideration, $15.4 million was recognized in equity and $23.8 million and $13.2 million were recognized in Accrued liabilities and other and Other non-current liabilities, respectively. The table below presents the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the Acquisition Date (in thousands):

(1)The fair value of reclamation costs is based on the expected amounts and timing of cash flows for closure activities and discounted to present value using a credit-adjusted risk-free rate as of the Acquisition Date. Key assumptions include the costs and timing of key closure activities based on the life of mine plans. (2)Deferred income tax liabilities are net of a deferred income tax asset of $182.9 million relating to investment incentive tax credits at Çöpler and includes a deferred income tax liability of $29.2 million for withholding tax on distributable earnings of the Turkish entities. (3)The fair value of non-controlling interest is measured based on a discounted cash flow model. The fair values of inventories were determined based on an NRV approach, whereby the future estimated cash flows from sales of payable metal produced are adjusted for costs to complete. The fair values of mineral properties have been estimated using discounted cash flow models and the fair values of plant and equipment have been estimated using a depreciated replacement cost approach. A market approach was used to estimate the fair values of certain exploration assets with reference to a public company comparable analysis. Expected future cash flows are based on estimates of future metal prices, production based on current estimates of mineral reserves and recoverable mineral resources, future operating costs and capital expenditures, and discount rates. The amount of net deferred tax liabilities recognized includes an amount recognized for deferred tax assets relating to investment incentive tax credits for which the Company has determined it is more likely than not to be accepted as eligible spend occurs and it is more likely than not that taxable profits will be available to utilize against those credits. Consolidated revenue for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes revenue from the assets acquired in the acquisition of Alacer of $205.5 million. Consolidated net income for the year ended December 31, 2020 includes net income attributable to SSR Mining shareholders from Alacer of $24.1 million. Pro forma financial information The following table provides unaudited pro forma financial information for the year ended December 31, 2020, as if Alacer had been acquired as of January 1, 2020 (in thousands):

Divestitures Divestiture of Pitarrilla On July 6, 2022, the Company completed the sale of the Pitarrilla project in Durango, Mexico, included in the Exploration, evaluation and development properties segment, to Endeavour Silver Corp. ("Endeavour Silver"). The consideration received included cash of $35.0 million, Endeavour Silver common shares with a fair value on the closing date of $25.6 million (8,577,380 shares at $2.99 per share), and a 1.25% net smelter returns royalty on the Pitarrilla property.

The total consideration received included cash, EMX common shares, and deferred consideration in the form of contingent payments of cash payable upon completion of certain project milestones related to one of the royalties totaling approximately $87.9 million. The fair value of the deferred consideration was estimated based on the present value of the projected future cash inflows using a discount rate of 12.5%. The projected future cash inflows are affected by assumptions related to the achievement of the development milestones. At June 30, 2021, following the negotiation of the Royalty Portfolio sale, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $22.3 million on the Royalty Portfolio, calculated based on the difference between the estimated fair value of the Royalty Portfolio and its carrying amount prior to the impairment.
