Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
Effective September 30, 2013, Allied Nevada Gold Corp. (the “Company”) entered into the Third Amendment to Credit Agreement (the “Amendment”) dated as of the same date among the Company, The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent (“Agent”), and such lenders as set forth therein (“Lenders”), to its Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with the Agent and the Lenders dated as of October 31, 2012, as amended by the First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of March 26, 2013 and the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement dated as of June 27, 2013 (the “Credit Agreement”).
The Amendment modifies the required Interest Coverage Ratio and Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, for the quarter ended September 30, 2013. Such ratios will return to the limits originally contained in the Credit Agreement on October 1, 2013 and all dates thereafter.
The Amendment also modifies the definition of Calculation Date, as defined in the Credit Agreement, to require the Company to calculate certain financial ratios on a pro forma basis on each date upon which the Company requests credit, which will determine the Company's compliance with certain covenants contained in the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Amendment is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the Credit Agreement was filed as Exhibit 10.2 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the Third Fiscal Quarter ended September 30, 2012 which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 5, 2012.
