AMERICAS BULLION AGREES TO CASH SETTLEMENT WITH MF INVESTMENT AND COMPLETES SALE OF ROYALTIES TO ORION ROYALTY COMPANY LLC
Americas Bullion Royalty Corp. has reached a settlement with MF
Investment Holding Company 1 (Cayman) Ltd. with
respect to the senior secured facility agreement dated Sept. 25,
2012, whereby the full amount owing under the facility agreement will be
applied to the purchase price of certain royalties. After giving effect
to the transaction, the debt with MF Investment is retired and the
company will receive $22.8-million in cash.
Background
On June 24, 2013, Americas Bullion announced that
MF Investment, part of Orion Resource Partners and the Red Kite Group,
indicated that it had or intended on issuing notices alleging an event
of default under the secured facility agreement and asserting rights to
exercise an option to purchase 26 royalty interests, including
the Pan and Bald Mountain interests, by paying Americas Bullion $35-million (U.S.).
Terms of the settlement
Following amicable discussions,
Americas Bullion has entered into an amendment to the senior secured
facility agreement with MF Investment, pursuant to which a nominee of MF
Investment exercised an option to purchase 18 royalties, including the
Pan and the Bald Mountain royalty interests.
In connection with the option exercise, Nevada Royalty Corp. (NRC), a
wholly owned subsidiary of Americas Bullion, has entered into an
agreement of purchase and sale with Orion Royalty Company LLC pursuant to which NRC has completed the sale of certain royalties to
Orion. Pursuant to the agreement, AMB retired its debt to MF Investments
and NRC received an initial payment of $8.8-million (U.S.). NRC will receive
a further $14-million (U.S.) upon certain postclosing deliveries being
satisfied.

"I am pleased to have reached a mutually beneficial agreement with Red
Kite and Orion where their interests have been met while our
shareholders clearly benefit from having received market value for
certain of our royalty interests," said William M. Sheriff, chairman and
chief executive officer. "Americas Bullion, in addition to retiring the Red Kite debt and
netting approximately $22-million (U.S.) cash from this transaction,
continues to hold 14 royalty interests, other significant Nevada assets,
and its Yukon holdings including the Brewery Creek project. The board
sees great opportunity to build from this cash position in the current
market."
We seek Safe Harbor.
