Amendment to Credit Agreement
On September 24, 2012, Gryphon Gold Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Borealis Mining Company, a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“BMC”), entered into an amendment agreement (the “First Amendment Agreement”) with Waterton Global Value, L.P., a limited partnership formed under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (“Waterton”), to the Senior Secured Gold Stream Credit Agreement, dated April 18, 2012 (the “Original Credit Agreement,” and together with the First Amendment Agreement, the “Senior Facility”), to increase Waterton’s commitment amount under the Senior Facility by U.S. $5 million (the “Facility Increase”), bringing the aggregate borrowings under the Senior Facility from U.S. $15 million to U.S. $20 million.
Pursuant to the terms of the First Amendment Agreement, amounts drawn down from the Senior Facility will be repayable in monthly payments beginning in December 2012 and ending in November 2014, with initial payments being approximately U.S. $50,000 per month and increasing to approximately U.S. $900,000 per month in March 2013 through to the end of the term in November 2014. The specific repayment mechanics applicable to any principal amounts outstanding under the Senior Facility remain unchanged. The Senior Facility is secured by a first priority lien on the assets of the Company and BMC.
Gold and Silver Supply Agreement
As consideration for providing the Facility Increase and amending the repayment schedule of the Senior Facility, the Company and Waterton agreed to amend the terms of their existing Gold and Silver Supply Agreement to permit Waterton to purchase all of the Company’s production at a 3% discount to prevailing spot prices.
