LONG-TERM DEBT

NOTE 12 LONG-TERM DEBT

On August 10, 2018, the Company finalized a $50.0 million senior secured three year term loan facility with Royal Capital Management Corp., as administrative agent, and the lenders party thereto.  Interest on the loan accrued at the rate of 9.75% per annum with interest due monthly and the loan was collateralized by a lien on certain of the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ assets.  

On June 25, 2020, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (“ARCA”) which refinanced the outstanding $50 million and which terms differed in material respects from the original loan as follows:

​

● Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP replaced Royal Capital Management Corp. as the administrative agent.

● Sprott Private Resource Lending II (Collector), LP replaced certain lenders. An affiliate of Robert McEwen remains as a lender.

● Scheduled repayments of the principal are extended by two years. Monthly repayments of principal in the amount of $2.0 million are due beginning on August 31, 2022 and continuing for 12 months, followed by a final principal payment of $26.0 million plus any accrued interest on August 31, 2023.

● The minimum working capital maintenance requirement was reduced from $10.0 million under the original term loan to $nil at June 30, 2020 to December 31, 2020 and from $10.0 million to $2.5 million at March 31, 2021 to the end of 2021. The working capital requirement increases to $5.0 million for March 31, 2022, $7.0 million for June 30, 2022, and $10 million for September 30, 2022 and thereafter.

● The Company issued 2,091,700 shares valued at $1,875,000 to the lenders as bonus interest, accounted for as a financing cost. The value of the shares plus the unamortized costs of the original term loan will be amortized over the modified term of the loan.

​

The remaining principal terms of the original agreement remain unchanged.

A reconciliation of the Company’s long-term debt for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 is as follows:

​

​	​	​	​	​	​	​	​
​		December 31, 2020			December 31, 2019		​
Balance, beginning of year	​	$	49,516	​	$	49,206	​
Interest expense	​		5,394	​		5,185	​
Interest payments	​		(4,875)	​		(4,875)	​
Bonus Interest - Equity based financing fee	​	​	(1,875)	​	​	—	​
Balance, end of year	​	$	48,160	​	$	49,516	​
Less current portion	​	​	—	​	​	10,000	​
Long-term portion	​	$	48,160	​	$	39,516	​

​

During the year ended December 31, 2020, $nil of interest was capitalized in plant and equipment (year ended December 31, 2019 – $0.6 million, capitalized to the Gold Bar mine).
