Note 1 — Description of the Proposed Transaction

 

On March 17, 2022, MAC, MAC-Sub, and Glencore entered into the Share Sale Agreement, as amended by the Deed of Consent and Covenant, dated November 22, 2022 (together, the “Share Sale Agreement”). As a result of the transactions contemplated by the Share Sale Agreement, MAC will merge with and into MAC Limited (the “Merger”), with MAC Limited continuing as the surviving company (MAC Limited following the Merger is referred to as “New MAC”) and MAC-Sub will acquire 100% of the equity interests of CMPL from Glencore by way of acquisition with CMPL becoming a direct subsidiary of MAC-Sub and an indirect subsidiary of New MAC as a result thereof. Glencore will receive at least $775 million in cash, with the potential for this amount to be scaled up to $875 million depending on equity demand) (subject to a customary closing accounts adjustment (including New MAC being liable for accounting and auditing fees in connection with the proposed transaction) to reflect the working capital, net debt and tax liabilities of CMPL at the time of closing under the Share Sale Agreement (the “Closing”), a $75 million deferred payment (plus applicable interest within 12 months of Closing), up to $150 million in two contingent payments (subject to copper price performance), a 1.5% copper only net smelter return royalty and up to 10,000,000 newly issued New MAC Ordinary Shares issued at the redemption share price of $10.00 per share ($100 million worth included in the $1,100 million purchase price). The maximum cash consideration of $875 million will be funded through a combination of a 100% payable long term silver sale-and-purchase agreement (the “Silver Stream”) with Osisko through an upfront payment of $75 million (with the potential for an additional $15 million if the average LBMA silver price over the ten (10) day period prior to the closing of the Silver Stream is greater than $25.50/oz, $90 million total), a $205 million syndicated senior term loan facility, a $135 million mezzanine facility, and equity. MAC has agreed to a Redemptions Backstop Facility with Osisko that comprises $25 million of equity and a $75 million copper- linked financing facility (the “Copper Stream”) that is fully subordinated to the syndicated senior term loan facility. Upon the Closing of the Business Combination, New MAC Ordinary Shares and New MAC Warrants are expected to trade on the NYSE under the ticker symbols “MTAL” and “MTAL.WS”, respectively, and New MAC will become a publicly listed entity. Within several months following the consummation of the Business Combination, New MAC expects to pursue a dual listing on the ASX. No certainty can be provided as to the timing of any such listing or whether it will be ultimately successful. The Business Combination closed on June 15, 2023, following the receipt of the required approval by MAC’s shareholders and the fulfillment of other customary closing conditions. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information contained herein reflects the proposed Business Combination.

 

MAC raised US$227 million of proceeds from private equity placements (“PIPE Financing”) as partial consideration for the Business Combination with certain investors. The MAC Class A Ordinary Shares subscribed for in the PIPE Financing converted into New MAC Ordinary Shares in connection with the Business Combination.

 

It is also anticipated that, in connection with the Business Combination and to establish liquidity upon Closing, New MAC will enter into a sale- leaseback agreement with Sandvik Financial Services Pty Ltd for certain capital equipment for $16.7 million (A$25 million) over a three-year term.

 

 

 

 

Concurrently with the Closing, a Royalty Deed between New MAC, Glencore and CMPL will become effective, pursuant to which CMPL will be required, on a quarterly basis, to pay to Glencore a royalty equal to 1.5% of net smelter returns from all marketable and metal-bearing copper material produced from the Cornish, Scottish, and Australian mine (“CSA Mine”) near Cobar, New South Wales, Australia, and certain specified exploration licenses held by CMPL in addition to the CSA Mine at the time of Closing. After Closing, MAC will have an obligation to pay deferred consideration of $75 million plus interest to Glencore within 12 months of Closing (from the proceeds of equity capital raises) and if the amount is not paid any residual amount owing will be settled on the next business day (12 months post-Closing plus one (1) business day) via the issue of top-up New MAC equity applying a 30% discount to the 20-trading day VWAP before the issuance (the “Equity Conversion Date”). If New MAC is listed on more than one exchange, the VWAP will be calculated by reference to the exchange with the largest volume (US$ equivalent) over the 20-trading day period before the Equity Conversion Date. If the New MAC Ordinary Shares cannot be issued to Glencore due to applicable law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, Glencore, in its sole discretion, may delay the date for the issuance of the New MAC Ordinary Shares, noting that such right only delays the date for the issuance of the New MAC Ordinary Shares, which amount of New MAC Ordinary Shares will be set on the Equity Conversion Date.

 

Also, in connection with the Business Combination, MAC agrees to pay Glencore $150 million in cash structured as two contingent payments of $75 million each (each, a “Contingent Payment”) that will be unsecured, fully subordinated and payable if, and only if, over the life of the mine, the average daily LME closing price is greater than:

 

 (a)$4.25/lb ($9,370/mt) for any rolling 18-month period (commencing at Closing); and
   
 (b)$4.50/lb ($9,920/mt) for any rolling 24-month period (commencing at Closing).

 

Additionally, in connection with the Business Combination, CMPL and GIAG will enter into a new Offtake Agreement, a life-of-mine offtake obligation pursuant to which CMPL is committed to selling all Material to GIAG, and GIAG is committed to buying all Material. The new Offtake agreement replaces the existing offtake agreement between CMPL and GIAG.

 

Glencore shall also have the right to appoint one director to the New MAC Board for every 10% of New MAC Ordinary Shares that it beneficially owns.

 

For a description of the Business Combination and certain agreements executed in connection therewith, see “The Business Combination Proposal”, “The Share Sale Agreement” and “Certain Agreements Related to the Business Combination.”

 

Note 2 — Basis of Presentation

 

The historical financial statements of CMPL have been prepared in accordance with IFRS as issued by the IASB and in its presentation currency of the U.S. dollar. The historical financial statements of MAC have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP in its presentation currency of the U.S. dollar. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using IFRS, the basis of accounting of CMPL. After giving effect to pro forma adjustments (i.e., the conversion and redemption of the MAC Class A Ordinary Shares immediately prior to Closing) there were no accounting policy differences requiring adjustment to MAC’s historical US GAAP financial statements in order to align with IFRS.

 

Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

 

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the consummation of the proposed transaction are based on certain currently available information and certain assumptions and methodologies that MAC believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments, and it is possible the differences may be material. MAC believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all the significant effects of the proposed transaction based on information available to management at this time and that the pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to those assumptions and are properly applied in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information.

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any anticipated synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings, or cost savings that may be associated with the proposed transaction. MAC and CMPL have not had any historical relationship prior to the proposed transaction. Accordingly, no pro forma adjustments were required to eliminate activities between the companies.

 

 

 

 

Post the close of the Business Combination, MAC’s current public shareholders, the Sponsor, which directly owns the Founder Shares (and which are indirectly owned by the initial shareholders), the PIPE Investors, and current CMPL shareholders, own approximately the following percentages of New MAC Ordinary Shares:

 

   Final Redemptions 
   Shares   % 
MAC public shareholders(1)   3,329,006    7%
Shares held by Sponsor (including the Anchor Investors and Cornerstone Investors) (2)   6,628,695    14%
PIPE Investors(3)   22,721,747    47%
Redemptions Backstop Facility(4)   2,500,000    5%
Current CMPL shareholders   10,000,000    21%
Other Equity(5)   3,230,000    7%
    48,409,448    100%*

 

*The percentages may not add due to rounding

 

 (1)The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements are prepared on the final redemption price for Class A Redeemable shares of approximately $10.34 per share.
   
 (2)Green Mountain Metals LLC is the record holder of the shares reported herein. In addition, certain of MAC’s officers and directors and Anchor Investors hold Class B units in Green Mountain Metals LLC, which entitle them to an equivalent number of New MAC Ordinary Shares on distribution. The Sponsor has subsequently agreed to transfer 985,000 Founder Shares to the Cornerstone Investors. The amounts shown for these individuals are included in the total owned by Green Mountain Metals LLC.
   
 (3)Assumes 22,721,747 shares issued to PIPE Investors at the redemption share price of $10.00 per share for gross proceeds of approximately $227 million (Refer to Note 4(c)).
   
 (4)The Redemptions Backstop Facility comprises an equity subscription component of $25 million (2,500,000 shares at the share redemption price of $10.00 per share) and a Copper stream component $75 million.
   
 (5)Other Equity comprises 1,500,000 shares as part of the Mezzanine financing package as well as 1,500,000 shares as part of the Silver Sale-and- purchase agreement. The remaining 230,000 shares represent participation by certain of MAC’s officers and directors.

 

 

 

 

All subscriptions are at the PIPE subscription price of $10.00 per share.

 

The share amounts and ownership percentages set forth above do not take into account (i) MAC Warrants that will remain outstanding immediately following the Business Combination and may be exercised thereafter, (ii) New MAC Warrants issued in relation to the subordinated financing and (iii) equity awards to be issued under the 2023 Plans. In accordance with the terms of the Share Sale Agreement, in no event will MAC redeem its public shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $5,000,001.

 

Note 3 — Accounting for the Business Combination

 

The Business Combination is accounted for using the acquisition method in accordance with IFRS 3. MAC has been identified as the “acquirer” as it will obtain control over CMPL as the “acquiree” by its wholly owned subsidiary, MAC-Sub, purchasing 100% of the share capital of CMPL. The Transaction will be completed by transferring cash and issuing New MAC Ordinary Shares to Glencore. In addition, there will be a Royalty Deed with Glencore which is to be classified as a financial liability. Deferred and contingent consideration also exists for the potential payouts to Glencore based on proceeds from a future ASX listing and/or capital raising and if the average daily LME closing price for copper is greater than (a) $4.25/lb ($9,370/mt) for any rolling 18-month (commencing at Closing), and (b) $4.50/lb ($9,920/mt) for any rolling 24-month period (commencing at Closing) during the life of the mine. The cash being transferred represents a significant majority of the total consideration, meaning the SPAC merger is carried out primarily by transferring cash rather than by exchanging equity interests. The purchase consideration will be allocated to the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities and will be based on management’s best estimate of the fair value based on currently available information. The actual amount allocated to certain identifiable net assets could vary as the purchase price allocation is finalized. The Royalty Deed Agreement and Contingent payments linked to average copper price thresholds are to be classified as financial liabilities and initially recognized at fair value, and subsequently measured at fair value with changes recognized in profit or loss. The Offtake Agreement represents an executory contract that replaces the existing offtake agreement between CMPL and Glencore which was settled and closed out on Closing. Delivery of goods and sales earned under the new Offtake Agreement will be recorded in accordance with MAL’s revenue recognition policies when they occur which has been reflected as Transaction Accounting Adjustments in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial statements.

 

Note 4 — Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

 

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial position and combined statements of income (loss) have been prepared to reflect the Transaction together with the related transactions summarized above and the following assumptions and adjustments.

 

 

 

 

Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Position

 

  (a) Upfront deposit relating to the sale-and-purchase agreement for 100% of the payable silver over the life- of-mine (“Silver Stream”): Adjustment reflects the proceeds from the $75 million upfront deposit for the Silver Stream. The term of the Silver Stream is 20 years and represents a prepayment for payable silver to be sold to Osisko. The Silver Stream is an executory contract and New MAC only has a responsibility to deliver refined silver if refined silver is produced. The upfront deposit of $75 million was recorded as a deferred liability in the pro forma balance sheet. The economic effective date for the commencement of deliveries under the Silver Stream be February 1, 2023. New MAC shall sell and deliver Refined Silver to the Purchaser in an amount equal to the Streamed Silver Quantity of each outturn of Refined Silver by an offtaker (provisional or final) between February 1, 2023, and the Closing Date within twenty (20) business days of the Closing Date. The estimated contractual amount owing on Closing in exchange for the gross deposit received, is $3,855,108.

 

  (b) Credit facilities: New MAC has entered into a syndicated senior term loan facility for $205 million and a mezzanine facility for $135 million that was used to partially fund the cash portion of the purchase price payable on Closing. MAC has already incurred debt issuance costs associated with the facilities of $1,598,459 and incremental costs of $699,230 which has been accrued. The proceeds, net of banking fees received under the syndicated senior term loan facility to fund the purchase price was $196.3 million after taking into account debt issuance cost of $8,702,408. The mezzanine facility has an original issue discount of 2% representing debt issuance costs of $2,700,000. The net proceeds received to fund the purchase price was $132.3 million. The Redemptions Backstop Facility was fully utilized and comprises a $75 million copper stream and an incremental $25 million equity subscription (See Note 2 and Note 4(c)). The $75 million copper stream is fully subordinated to the senior lending facility with a delivery holiday for the first 12 months post-Closing. On the 5th anniversary of Closing, New MAC will have the option to buy back one third of the residual stream amount (reducing the second Threshold Stream and Tail Stream to 3.25% and 1.5%, respectively) for $40 million cash. Deliveries under the copper stream may be deferred and are therefore accounted as a financial liability at fair value of the consideration received. The interest on the Mezzanine facility can be paid in cash or accrued as a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) at the election of MAC. PIK interest will only be settled in cash as a bullet payment at the maturity date of the facility. The percentage that can be accrued as a PIK is dependent on a range of copper prices. The senior and mezzanine debt facilities are recognized at amortized cost net of debt issuance costs and original issue discounts.

  (c) Private placement and replacement of MAC Class B Ordinary Shares with New MAC Ordinary Shares: The adjustment reflects the proceeds from the issuance of a total of 28,451,747 New MAC Ordinary Shares at a price of $10.00 per share (par value of $0.0001 per share), Other Equity from Osisko, Sprott and certain of MAC’s officers and directors (an aggregate of 3,230,000 shares) and in relation to the equity component of the Redemptions Backstop Facility (2,500,000 shares). The issuance of the 28.45 million New MAC Ordinary Shares have a nominal value of $2,845, and at $10.00 per share, generated gross proceeds of $284.5 million. The proceeds from the PIPE Financing, Other Equity and equity component of the Redemptions Backstop Facility are recognized at the fair value of the consideration received less estimated share issuance costs of approximately $3,988,699 for a net amount of $280.5 million. On Closing, the 6,628,695 MAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the Sponsor (including the interests of certain initial IPO investors (“Anchor Investors”)) was converted on a one-for-one basis into New MAC Ordinary Shares. Certain qualified institutional buyers or institutional accredited investors who are unaffiliated with the New MAC management team (“Cornerstone Investors”) purchased a total of 13,500,000 New MAC Ordinary Shares, or 59%, of the PIPE of 22,721,747 Ordinary Shares. The Sponsor transferred an aggregate of 985,000 Founder Shares to Cornerstone Investors. MAC estimated the aggregate fair value of these Founder Shares attributable to Cornerstone Investors via their purchase of PIPE shares to be $8,835,450, or $8.97 per share. The Founder Shares allocated to the Cornerstone Investors represent a capital contribution by the Sponsor for the benefit of New MAC and are recorded as offering costs and reflected as a reduction in the proceeds from the offering and offering expenses. The Sponsor, initial shareholders and Cornerstone Investors have waived all anti- dilution rights with respect to such shares.

  (d) Sale-leaseback: In conjunction with the Transaction and to establish liquidity upon Closing, New MAC will enter into a permitted sale-leaseback arrangement for newly acquired underground equipment with an estimated fair value on acquisition of $16.7 million (A$25 million) which will result in the recognition of a lease liability of $16.7 million and a corresponding right-of-use asset amount. The agreement is at an advanced stage and will be consummated before June 30, 2023. The fair value of the assets subject to the sale are equal to the current carrying value. The net effect of the transaction is a reduction in Property, Plant and Equipment of $1,387,492 (See Note 4(e)). The lease liability is recognized at amortized cost over an expected lease term of three (3) years and split between a long-term portion of $10.3 million and a short-term portion of $6.4 million.

 

 

 

 

(e)Accounting for incremental transaction costs and settlement of Sponsor Promissory Note: The Glencore Deed of Consent costs have been partially accrued in deferred liabilities and was settled on Closing. Total estimated transaction costs are accounted for in total combined deferred liabilities of $9.7 million and accrued expenses and accounts payable of $64.6 million that includes Stamp duty estimated at $59 million. Debt issuance costs of $13.7 million were partially net settled with funding of the Senior Term Loan and the Mezzanine debt (See Note 4(b)). Share issuance costs have been accounted for in additional paid-in capital and together with the deferred underwriting fee remains payable at Closing. Incremental other transaction costs of $3.3 million is not deemed debt issuance costs or share issuance costs and have been accounted for in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of comprehensive income. The Sponsor Promissory Note was not settled on Closing. The amounts due to a related party was capitalized as part of the Promissory Note prior to closing.

(1)The Transaction as agreed, allows for a minimum working cash amount of $15 million to be available in cleared funds as well as finished product inventory equating to approximately one month of production or two shipments upon Closing to establish minimum liquidity. The finished product inventory has been revalued to estimated net realizable value. Estimated net realizable value is determined based on the prevailing copper sales price less estimated treatment and refining costs based on the new offtake agreement.

 

(2)Parties have agreed that all related party transactions in CMPL will be settled prior to closing as it represents amounts receivable and payable under the historical offtake agreement.

 

(3)The preliminary purchase price allocation is based on management’s best estimate using the depreciated replacement cost method and taking into account any change in the tax base of the assets as a result of the allocation. The actual amount allocated to certain identifiable net assets could vary as the purchase price allocation is finalized post closing and will also affect the estimated Stamp Duty costs accrued (See Note 4(e)).

 

(4)The final purchase price is subject to a normalized working capital level. The working capital estimate on Closing resulted in an initial net reduction in the purchase price of $4.5 million. This amount is subject to review and will be finalized 90 days post Closing.

 

  (5) One June 2, 2023, The parties have agreed that, to the extent CMPL’s Security Bond Liability increases beyond the amount applicable as at the date of the Share Sale Amendment, Glencore agrees to procure that it, or its related bodies corporate, will procure bank guarantees or securities are provided to the State on behalf of the Company at Glencore’s cost for the portion of such Security Bond Liability that exceeds the current Security Bond Liability during the period on and from completion of the Business Combination until the earlier of (i) the refinancing of MAL’s Senior Facilities (as that term is defined in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus) or the date that the Senior Facilities are repaid or cancelled in full. Glencore has also agreed to maintain its current Security Bond cover in place for an interim period post closing of the Business Combination, of up to 90 days, at which time New MAC will replace the Security Bond (to the extent it doesn’t exceed current Security Bond Liability). If New MAC is unable to replace the Security Bond within the interim period a re-balancing regime has been agreed to reflect the commercial positions outlined in this paragraph (namely, that New MAC will meet the obligations and responsibility for the current Security Bond Liability).

 

 

 

 

(h)Redemption of MAC Class A Ordinary Shares: Adjustment to reflect the redemption of 23,185,774 MAC Class A shares Ordinary Shares upon Closing of the Transaction.

 

The remaining 3,329,006 non-redeeming MAC Class A Ordinary Share shareholders became ordinary shareholders of MAL, resulting in $34,431,481 (3,329,006 shares at $10.00 per share plus interest) at Closing, to be transferred to available cash to fund the Transaction.

 

(i)Deferred Consideration:

 

$75,000,000 as a deferred cash payment on the following terms:

 

a.payable upon MAL’s listing on the ASX or undertaking any alternative equity raise (up to 50% of the net proceeds from the raise, capped at $75 million);

 

  b. the unpaid balance of the $75,000,000 will accrue interest at a rate equivalent to what New MAC pays on the Mezz Facility, set at 3-month SOFR plus a variable margin of 8 – 12% (which will be determined by reference to prevailing copper prices); and

 

  c. any residual (up to the $75,000,000 plus applicable interest) not paid in cash by the date that is twelve (12) months after the Closing will be settled on the next business day through the issuance of additional New MAC Ordinary Shares at a 30% discount to the 20-trading day VWAP before the issuance (the “Equity Conversion Date”). If New MAC is listed on more than one exchange, the VWAP will be calculated by reference to the exchange with the largest volume (US$ equivalent) over the 20-trading day period before the Equity Conversion Date. If the New MAC Ordinary Shares cannot be issued to Glencore due to applicable law or the rules of any applicable stock exchange, Glencore, in its sole discretion, may delay the date for the issuance of the New MAC Ordinary Shares, noting that such right only delays the date for the issuance of the New MAC Ordinary Shares, which amount of New MAC Ordinary Shares will be set on the Equity Conversion Date;

 

d.The Deferred Consideration are recognized as a financial liability that is measured at amortized cost.

 

(j)Contingent Adjustments (please refer to Note 3 for additional information regarding the accounting treatment of these portions of the Transaction):

 

a.Royalty Deed: The Royalty Deed is a net smelter return royalty agreement pursuant to which after the Closing, CMPL will pay to the Seller a royalty equal to 1.5% from all net smelter returns from all marketable and metal-bearing copper material produced from the mining tenure held by CMPL at the time of the Closing. The $45 million adjustment reflects the fair value of the Royalty Deed upon close of the Transaction. The estimated fair value was determined by discounting 1.5% of the future expected copper net smelter return over the expected life of the mine. The net smelter return is determined using consensus copper prices less estimated treatment and refining costs under the new offtake agreement.

 

b.Copper price: After Closing, Glencore is entitled to $150 million in cash structured as two contingent payments of $75 million each, the First Contingent Copper Payment and Second Contingent Copper Payment, that are unsecured, fully subordinated and payable if, and only if, over the life of the mine, the average daily LME closing price is greater than (i) $4.25/lb ($9,370/mt) for any rolling 18-month period (commencing at Closing), and (ii) $4.50/lb ($9,920/mt) for any rolling 24-month period (commencing at Closing). The contingent payments are recognized as a financial liability and measured at fair value estimated at $104.5 million based on the output from a commodity price simulation model and recognized as a financial liability.

(m)Depreciation of acquired assets: Reflects the revised depreciation of finite-lived assets arising on the acquisition of CMPL and based on management’s preliminary estimate of estimated useful lives. The major categories of property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a unit of production (“UOP”) and/or straight-line basis. The finite-lived assets relate to buildings and plant and equipment that are depreciated on a straight- line basis while mineral resource and mine development follow the UOP basis. Estimated useful lives are linked to MAC’s estimate of current life- of-mine while the estimated UOP rate is approximately 2% on an annualized basis. UOP is based on MAC’s current estimate of proven and probable reserves which includes inferred resources converted at a historical conversion rate Pro forma adjustments by asset category are as follows:

(n)Royalty Deed: Reflects estimated costs of 1.5% copper only net smelter return royalty payable to Glencore as part of the Royalty Deed going forward. See Note 1, Note 2, Note 4(j)(a) herein.

 

(o)Sale-leaseback: Reflects estimated depreciation of the right of use asset and interest on the sale- leaseback. The right-of-use asset is capitalized at $16.7 million (see Note 4(d)) and depreciated over an estimated useful life of three (3) years on a straight-line basis.

 

(p)Transaction costs: Reflects estimated costs associated with the Transaction of $60.9 million to be incurred subsequent to December 31, 2022 (See Note 4(e)).

 

(q) Reversal of Trust interest income, Change in fair value of conversion option and Amortization of discount on convertible promissory note: Trust income represents interest earned from the cash held in the Trust Account for the three months ended March 31, 2023, of $2,848,650 and for the year ended December 31, 2022, of $ 3,753,097. The Trust funds will be utilized to fund the proposed Business Combination and accordingly this income will not form part of future operations. The change in fair value of the conversion option is applicable to the conversion option embedded in the promissory note from the Sponsor to MAC in order to fund expenses related to the Transaction in 2022. The Promissory note will be converted to Private warrants or per the terms, settled at the close of the Transaction (See Note 4(e)).

 

(r) Interest on debt facilities and Glencore Deferred Consideration: Reflects interest expense related to the drawdown of a $205 million syndicated senior term loan using a current estimate of the payable interest rate of 8.1% and the interest expense relating to the $135 million Mezz Facility is based on an estimate of the applicable interest rate of 12.5%. The Glencore Deferred Consideration carries interest at the same rate as the Mezz Facility; the interest rate period is assumed to be six (6) months from Closing, taking into account the timing and estimated proceeds from the planned ASX listing as discussed in these notes and elsewhere in this filing. Under the 50% Redemption Scenario, interest is also calculated on the $75 million Copper Stream from Osisko.

Note 5 — Management Adjustments

 

Management Adjustments reflects adjustments for estimated corporate costs to operate New MAC post the Transaction, as a publicly traded mining company owning the CSA mine. The estimated corporate expenses represent dis-synergies of the Business Combination since CMPL represents a privately held entity that do not have an existing executive or corporate structure.

 

Corporate overhead costs are based on Managements’ experience of running single asset, public mining companies and based on judgment. These costs may not be sufficient to cover all expected and unexpected overhead costs in order to run New MAC.

Note 6 — Profit (loss) per share

 

The pro forma net income (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares outstanding, and the issuance of additional shares in connection with the Business Combination and PIPE financing for the three months ended March 31, 2023, and the year ended December 31, 2022.

 

Basic and diluted net income (loss) per share is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the pro forma weighted average number of ordinary shares and dilutive shares that would have been outstanding during the period using the treasury stock method. Excluded from the calculation are potential equity awards to be issued under employee plans. New MAC Warrants issued in connection with the Business Combination are not included in the basic earnings per share calculation as the options are not exercised at the date of the consummation of the Share Sale Agreement.

 

The weighted average number of ordinary shares was determined by taking the historical number of ordinary shares outstanding of MAC and adjusting for the shares issued under the Transaction and shown in Note 3.
