NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS | NOTE 20 NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTS ​ On June 21, 2022, the Company’s former subsidiary, McEwen Copper, closed the second tranche of the Series B private placement offering in which McEwen Copper issued 1,500,000 additional common shares at a price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $15.0 million. ​ As a result of the common shares issued, the Company’s 81.4% ownership in McEwen Copper was reduced by 5.31% to 76.09%. The Company assessed 23.91% as non-redeemable non-controlling interests. Consequently, the Company recorded $7.6 million as non-controlling interests and $7.4 million as additional paid-in capital in 2022. ​ On August 31, 2022, McEwen Copper closed its third and final tranche of the Series B private placement offering under which McEwen Copper issued 2,685,000 additional common shares at a price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of $26.9 million. ​ As a result of the common shares issued, the Company’s 76.09% ownership in McEwen Copper was reduced by 7.96% to 68.13%. The Company assessed 31.87% as non-redeemable non-controlling interests. Consequently, the Company recorded $16.1 million as non-controlling interests and $10.8 million as additional paid-in capital in 2022. ​ On February 23, 2023, the Company and McEwen Copper closed an equity financing with a single investor, FCA Argentina S.A., an Argentinian subsidiary of Stellantis N.V. (“Stellantis”), which consisted of a private placement of 2,850,000 additional common shares issued by McEwen Copper for gross proceeds of ARS 20.9 billion ($108.0 million) and a secondary sale of an additional 1,250,000 shares of McEwen Copper common stock indirectly owned by the Company for aggregate proceeds of ARS 9.1 billion ($47.4 million). ​ On March 15, 2023, Nuton LLC (“Nuton”), a current shareholder of McEwen Copper and subsidiary of Rio Tinto (“Nuton”), exercised its preemptive rights under an existing shareholder agreement to purchase 350,000 shares of McEwen Copper common stock directly from McEwen Copper for aggregate proceeds of $6.6 million. On the same date, the Company and Nuton closed a secondary sale of an additional 1,250,000 shares of McEwen Copper common stock indirectly owned by the Company for aggregate proceeds of $23.4 million. ​ As a result of the transactions, the Company’s 68.1% ownership in McEwen Copper was reduced by 16.2% to 51.9%. The Company determined that it still controlled McEwen Copper and, consequently, the Company recorded $75.5 million as non-controlling interests and $109.9 million as additional paid-in capital in 2023. ​ On October 11, 2023, McEwen Copper and Stellantis announced the closing of agreements pursuant to which McEwen Copper issued 1,900,000 common shares for aggregate proceeds of ARS 42 billion ($119.6 million). ​ On October 20, 2023, McEwen Copper and Nuton announced the closing of agreements pursuant to which McEwen Copper issued 152,615 common shares for proceeds of $4.0 million, and the Company sold 232,000 common shares of McEwen Copper to Nuton for an aggregate purchase price of $6.0 million. ​ Subsequent to the closing of the transactions above, Stellantis and Nuton own 19.4% and 14.5%, respectively, of McEwen Copper on a fully diluted basis, while the Company’s ownership decreased to 47.7%. As a result, the Company concluded it no longer controlled McEwen Copper and, accordingly, deconsolidated the entity with the effective date of October 10, 2023. ​ The remaining interest of 47.7% in McEwen Copper was accounted for under the equity method. The initial carrying amount of the equity investment in McEwen Copper of $384.0 million was determined based on recent private placements of the common shares of McEwen Copper. Due to the temporary differences between the financial reporting basis of liabilities and assets of McEwen Copper and the related tax basis for such liabilities and assets, the Company also recognized $37.8 million of deferred tax liability on its equity investments in McEwen Copper. ​ As a result of the deconsolidation, the carrying amount of the various assets, liabilities and non-controlling interest of McEwen Copper were derecognized. The material amounts deconsolidated were $45.7 million of cash and cash equivalents, $44.2 million of investments, $171.9 million of mineral property interests and plant and equipment, $7.9 million of accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and $86.8 million of the non-controlling interest. There were no other material impacts to the Consolidated Balance Sheets resulting from deconsolidation of McEwen Copper. ​ The Company recognized a gain on deconsolidation of approximately $222.2 million, which is included in other income on the Statement of Operations. McEwen Copper remains a related party to the Company after deconsolidation. Transactions between the Company and McEwen Copper during the year ended December 31, 2023 are presented in Note 15.
