Business Wire
MAC Copper Limited ARBN 671 963 198 (NYSE:MTAL; ASX:MAC):
MAC Copper Limited (“MAC” or the “Company”) is
pleased to announce that it has agreed amendments with Sprott
Private Resource Lending II (Collector-2), LP (“Sprott”) to
its mezzanine debt facility, enabling the option for early
repayment (“Amendment Deed”).
Under the terms of the Amendment Deed, MAC now has the option,
but not the obligation, to repay the mezzanine loan in full between
1 January 2025 and 16 June 2025 (being the previous first repayment
date).
Commenting on the Amendment Deed, MAC CEO, Mick McMullen,
said:
“We are pleased to have reached this
agreement with Sprott, which provides MAC with greater financial
flexibility as we continue to optimize our capital structure. We
would like to thank Sprott for their partnership and the support
they provided at the time we acquired the CSA Copper Mine in June
2023. This amendment underscores our commitment to the ongoing
simplification and de-leveraging of our balance sheet, driven by
the Company’s robust operational performance and disciplined
financial management.”
The Amendment Deed has received consent from all of MAC’s
secured financiers, including Senior Lenders (as Senior Debt
Providers), Osisko Bermuda Limited (as Silver and Copper Streamer),
and Glencore (as NSR Royalty Holder). A further consent from Senior
Lenders will be required at the time MAC elects to exercise its
early repayment option.
If MAC chooses to repay the facility early, it will be required
to pay:
- The full principal outstanding, including all capitalized
interest (as of 31 October 2024, the outstanding principal was
US$145,338,650);
- A prepayment interest premium of 4% on the aggregate
principal;
- All remaining cash interest payments that would otherwise have
been payable between 1 January 2025 and 16 June 2025; and
- Sprott’s legal expenses, as stipulated in the mezzanine
facility agreement.
The above would have been the same if no early repayment option
was agreed to, other than interest would be paid on a quarterly
basis in arrears.
The Company will make a decision regarding early repayment based
on its cash balance and financial forecasts in H1 2025.
This announcement has been authorised for release by Chris
Rosario and Trevor Hart, Joint Company Secretaries.
