SSR Mining Prices Offering of Convertible Senior Notes

Canada NewsWire

VANCOUVER, March 13, 2019 /CNW/ - SSR Mining Inc. (NASDAQ: SSRM) (TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining") announces today that it has priced its previously announced offering (the "Offering") of unsecured convertible senior notes due 2039 (the "Notes").  SSR Mining will issue US$200 million aggregate principal amount of Notes (or US$230 million aggregate principal amount if the over-allotment option is exercised in full) pursuant to private placement exemptions.

SSR Mining intends to use the net proceeds of the Offering to repurchase, in separate privately negotiated transactions, approximately US$150 million of its outstanding 2.875% convertible senior notes and for general corporate purposes.

The Notes will bear cash interest semi-annually at a rate of 2.50% per annum.  The initial conversion rate for the Notes will be 54.1082 common shares (the "Shares") per US$1,000 principal amount of Notes, equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately US$18.48 per Share.

SSR Mining will have the right to redeem the Notes at its option in certain circumstances. Holders will have the right to require SSR Mining to repurchase their Notes upon the occurrence of certain events.

The Offering is expected to close on or about March 19, 2019, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes, and the Shares into which the Notes are convertible, have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or qualified by a prospectus in Canada. The Notes and the Shares may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from registration under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in Canada except pursuant to exemptions from the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian provincial and territorial securities laws.

This news release is neither an offer to sell nor the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or the Shares into which the Notes are convertible, and shall not constitute an offer to sell or solicitation of an offer to buy, or a sale of, the Notes or the Shares into which the Notes are convertible in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful.
