Details of Acquisition

   
2.1

Nature of Business Acquired

   

Pursuant to a Plan of Arrangement under Part 5 of Division 9 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "Arrangement"), First Majestic acquired all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Primero Mining Corp. ("Primero"), a Canadian precious metals producer headquartered in Toronto, Ontario. Primero's flagship property is the 100%-owned San Dimas silver and gold mine, located in Durango, Mexico.

   

In connection with the Arrangement, the existing silver purchase agreement between Primero and Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. ("WPM") relating to the San Dimas mine was terminated and the parties entered into a new precious metals purchase agreement.

   

First Majestic concurrently entered into an amended and restated credit agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia, Bank of Montreal and Investec Bank PLC, as lenders, pursuant to which the lenders agreed, among other things, to provide First Majestic with a US$75 million secured revolving term credit facility (the "New Credit Facility"). The New Credit Facility replaced the prior credit facility of Primero and First Majestic's existing credit agreement with the Bank of Nova Scotia and Investec Bank PLC, as lenders.

First Majestic issued to former Primero shareholders an aggregate of 6,418,594 common shares of First Majestic, representing 0.03325 First Majestic common shares for each Primero common share held immediately prior to the effective date of the Arrangement.

In connection with the Arrangement, holders of Primero's $75 million 2020 convertible debentures (the "Debentures") approved an amendment to the terms of their governing indenture pursuant to which the Debentures matured and were repaid in full on May 11, 2018.

   

As part of the termination of the existing silver purchase agreement with WPM, First Majestic issued 20,914,590 common shares of First Majestic to Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd., a subsidiary of WPM.

DESCRIPTION OF THE TRANSACTION

   

Acquisition of Primero Mining Corp.

   

On May 10, 2018, First Majestic Silver Corp. (“First Majestic” or the “Company”) completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding common shares (the "Arrangement") of Primero Mining Corp. (“Primero”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of an arrangement agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”) between First Majestic and Primero dated January 11, 2018. Under the terms of the Arrangement Agreement, First Majestic issued an aggregate of 6,418,594 common shares to Primero shareholders, on the basis of 0.03325 of a First Majestic common share for each Primero common share (the "Exchange Ratio").

   

The Arrangement also provided for the issuance by First Majestic of an aggregate of 221,908 replacement stock options (the “Replacement Options”) to the holders of outstanding Primero options, at exercise prices adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. Under the Arrangement, all existing warrants of Primero also became exercisable to acquire First Majestic shares at exercise prices adjusted by the Exchange Ratio. After the effective time of the Arrangement, such warrants are exercisable for an aggregate of 366,124 common shares of the Company.

   

San Dimas Stream Restructuring

   

In connection with the Arrangement, First Majestic terminated the pre-existing silver purchase agreement with Wheaton Precious Metals Corp. (“WPM”) and its subsidiary, Wheaton Precious Metals International Ltd. (“WPMI”), relating to the newly acquired San Dimas Mine and entered into a new precious metal purchase agreement (the “New Stream Agreement”) with WPMI and FM Metal Trading (Barbados) Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of First Majestic.

   

Pursuant to the New Stream Agreement, WPMI is entitled to receive 25% of the gold production and 25% of the silver production converted to gold equivalent at a fixed exchange ratio of 70:1 at San Dimas in exchange for ongoing payments equal to the lesser of $600 (subject to a 1% annual inflation adjustment) and the prevailing market price, for each gold ounce delivered to an offtaker under the agreement. As part of the termination of the previous silver purchase agreement, WPMI received 20,914,590 common shares of First Majestic with an aggregate fair market value of approximately $143.1 million.

   

Settlement of Primero Convertible Debentures

   

In connection with the Arrangement, First Majestic caused Primero to pay out all outstanding amounts of Primero’s $75.0 million convertible debentures (the "Debentures") which, in accordance with their terms, matured on May 11, 2018.

   

Financing

   

To fund the repayment of the Debentures, amounts outstanding under Primero's existing revolving credit facility and other costs related to the closing of the Arrangement, the Company raised cash through the following debt financing arrangements:


A $75.0 million senior secured revolving term credit facility (the “New Credit Facility”) which was used to replace an existing First Majestic credit facility and the prior credit facility of Primero. The New Credit Facility will mature on the third anniversary date but can be prepaid in advance of such date. Interest will accrue at LIBOR plus an applicable range which is dependent on certain financial parameters of First Majestic.

     

$156.5 million unsecured senior convertible debentures (the “Notes”) issued on January 29, 2018 and February 15, 2018, respectively, the proceeds of which were used primarily for repayment of the Debentures, other costs related to the closing of the Arrangement and general working capital purposes. The Notes mature on March 1, 2023 and bear an interest rate of 1.875% per annum. The Notes are convertible into common shares of the Company at a conversion rate of 104.3297 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Notes converted, representing an initial conversion price of $9.59 per common share, subject to certain anti-dilution adjustments.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

   

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position of First Majestic as at March 31, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statements of loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been prepared, for illustrative purposes only, to give effect to the acquisition of Primero by First Majestic pursuant to the assumptions described in notes 3 and 4 of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on financial statements which were prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board and have been compiled from the following historical information:


  a)

Pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position combining:

       
  i)

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated statement of financial position of First Majestic as at March 31, 2018; and

       
  ii)

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim statement of financial position of Primero as at March 31, 2018.


  b)

Pro forma condensed consolidated statement of loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 combining:

       
  i)

The unaudited condensed interim consolidated statements of loss of First Majestic for the three months ended March 31, 2018; and

       
  ii)

The unaudited condensed consolidated interim statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) of Primero for the three months ended March 31, 2018.


  c)

Pro forma consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 combining:

       
  i)

The audited consolidated statements of loss of First Majestic for the year ended December 31, 2017; and

       
  ii)

The audited consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss of Primero for the year ended December 31, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position as at March 31, 2018 has been prepared as if the transactions described in notes 1, 3 and 4 had occurred on March 31, 2018. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of loss for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and the unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of loss for the year ended December 31, 2017 have been prepared as if the transactions described in notes 1, 3 and 4 had occurred on January 1, 2017.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are not intended to reflect the financial performance or the financial position of First Majestic, which would have actually resulted had the transactions been effected on the dates indicated. Actual amounts recorded upon consummation of the acquisition will likely differ from those recorded in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements. Similarly, the allocation of the purchase price has been prepared on a preliminary basis and is subject to change as a result of several factors which could include among others: changes in fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, recoverability of value added taxes receivable and exposure to income taxes payable subject to ongoing negotiations with Mexican tax authorities on certain ongoing tax matters. Any potential synergies that may be realized and integration costs that may be incurred upon consummation of the transactions have been excluded from the unaudited pro forma financial information. Furthermore, the pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the financial performance that may be obtained in the future.

The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of First Majestic and Primero for the year ended December 31, 2017, and notes thereto; as well as the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of First Majestic and Primero for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION (continued)

   

The accounting policies used in the preparation of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements are those set out in First Majestic’s audited consolidated financial statements as at December 31, 2017 and condensed interim consolidated financial statements as at March 31, 2018. In preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements, a review was undertaken to identify accounting policy differences between First Majestic and Primero where the impact was potentially material. The significant accounting policies of Primero conform in all material respects to those of First Majestic.

These unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on a total of 27,333,184 First Majestic common shares issued consisting of: (a) 6,418,594 common shares in exchange for all issued and outstanding Primero shares as at March 31, 2018 and (b) 20,914,590 common shares in relation to restructuring of the stream arrangement with WPM. The value of the First Majestic common shares issued was calculated based on the closing price of First Majestic common shares on May 9, 2018 of $6.84 (CAD$8.80) for the purpose of preparing these consolidated pro forma financial statements. The final common share purchase consideration was determined based on the closing market price of First Majestic’s common shares on the day before the closing date of the acquisition.

   

The transaction has a total consideration of $187.0 million including the following items at March 31, 2018:

  i)

27,333,184 First Majestic common shares at $6.84 per share (CAD$8.80) for total share consideration of $187.0 million; and

     
  ii)

Nominal value of replacement stock options issuable to existing Primero option holders and amended warrants.

The fair value, determined using a Black-Scholes valuation model, of the First Majestic replacement options and amended warrants resulted in a nominal value as the exercise prices of the options and warrants are significantly out-of-the-money based on the exchange ratio and underlying share price.

The transaction will be accounted for as a business combination. With the exception of Primero’s convertible debentures, which were adjusted to fair value, First Majestic has allocated the consideration estimating the fair value of the non-mining interest net assets to be equal to their carrying value. The balance of the consideration has been estimated to be the fair value of the acquired mining interests resulting in a $169.4 million pro-forma adjustment to mining interests. A deferred income tax liability and a corresponding goodwill of $59.7 million arising from temporary difference on purchase price allocation is recognized as a result of the fair value adjustments to mining interests.

PRO FORMA PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION (continued)

   

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price for the purposes of these unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial statements is summarized in the table below:


  Total Consideration      
  6,418,594 First Majestic shares to Primero shareholders at $6.84 (CAD$8.80) per share $  43,903  
  20,914,590 First Majestic shares to WPM at $6.84 (CAD$8.80) per share   143,056  
  Total consideration $  186,959  
         
  Allocation of Purchase Price      
  Cash and cash equivalents $  2,466  
  Inventories   15,069  
  Mining interests   297,578  
  Goodwill   59,716  
  Other non-current assets   825  
  Other working capital items   25,953  
  Income and other taxes receivable, net   (23,405 )
  Debt facilities   (106,104 )
  Decommissioning liabilities   (11,911 )
  Other non-current liabilities   (6,051 )
  Deferred tax liabilities   (67,177 )
  Net assets acquired $  186,959  

The Company will complete a full and detailed valuation of the fair value of the net assets of Primero acquired with the assistance of an independent third party. Therefore, it is likely that the purchase price and fair values of assets acquired and liabilities assumed will vary from those shown above and the differences may be material. The allocation of the purchase price is based upon management’s preliminary estimates and certain assumptions with respect to the fair value increment associated with the assets to be acquired and the liabilities to be assumed. The actual fair values of the assets and liabilities will be determined as of the date of acquisition and may differ materially from the amounts disclosed above in the assumed pro forma purchase price allocation because of changes in fair values of the assets and liabilities up to the date of the transaction, and as further analysis (including the identification of intangible assets, recoverability of value added tax receivables, and exposure to income tax liabilities included in the preliminary amounts shown above) is completed. Consequently, the actual allocation of the purchase price may result in different adjustments than those in the unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated statement of financial position.
