Coeur Mining disclosed the early participation results for its private exchange offer to holders of $400 million of 6.875 % senior notes due 2032 issued by New Gold. The offer allows holders to exchange the notes for new Coeur senior notes and cash, not for Coeur shares.
The early participation deadline was April 3, 2026, and 96.33 % of the outstanding notes—$385.3 million—were tendered. Holders who tendered by the deadline received $1,000 in new Coeur notes plus $2.00 in cash per $1,000 of existing notes, plus an early participation premium of $50 in additional new notes. Those tendering after the deadline but before the offer’s expiration on April 20 received $950 in new notes per $1,000 of existing notes.
The exchange offer is part of Coeur’s post‑acquisition financial restructuring following the March 20, 2026 acquisition of New Gold for an all‑stock deal valued at $7 billion. By swapping the New Gold notes, Coeur eliminates restrictive covenants and default triggers that would have been activated by the change of control, and removes the obligation to repurchase the notes at a premium. The high participation rate demonstrates noteholders’ confidence in Coeur’s debt‑management strategy and its ability to refinance at favorable terms.
The offer also supports Coeur’s broader goal of becoming a cash‑generating senior producer. The company’s Q4 2025 results, released February 18, 2026, showed revenue of $675 million, up 120.94 % YoY, and EPS of $0.35, beating estimates. Full‑year 2025 revenue reached $2.1 billion, a 91 % increase over 2024, while net income rose to $586 million from $59 million. These strong results, combined with a debt‑to‑equity ratio of 0.11 as of April 6, 2026, give Coeur a solid balance sheet to support the exchange and future growth.
The market reaction to the early participation results was tempered by a broader decline in metal prices, which has weighed on the company’s valuation outlook.
