Eldorado Gold Corporation (“Eldorado,” the “Company” or “We”) is
pleased to announce that the Company intends to offer up to US$300
million aggregate principal amount of senior secured second lien
notes due 2024 (the “Notes”), subject to market and other
conditions. The interest rate and other terms of the Notes will be
determined based on prevailing market conditions.
Eldorado intends to use the net proceeds of the
Notes, together with term loan proceeds incurred under a new Senior
Secured Credit Facility to be entered into in connection with the
offering of the Notes and cash on hand, to redeem its US$600
million 6.125% Senior Notes due December 2020 and to pay fees and
expenses in connection with the forgoing.
The Notes have not been registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities
Act"), or the securities laws of any state and may not be offered
or sold absent registration under the Securities Act or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements thereof.
The Notes will be offered and sold only to persons reasonably
believed to be qualified institutional buyers in accordance with
Rule 144A under the Securities Act and to certain “non-U.S.
persons” outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S
under the Securities Act and in each case pursuant to available
prospectus exemptions from securities laws of British Columbia. The
Notes will be offered and sold outside of the US (including in
Canada) on a private placement basis pursuant to certain exemptions
from applicable securities laws.
This news release does not constitute an offer
to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be
any sale of these securities in any jurisdiction in which such
offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction
or an exemption therefrom. This press release is being issued
pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities
Act.
