Item
2.01 – Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
On September 12, 2016, the stockholders of Mines Management, Inc. (“MMI” or the “Company”) approved an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 23, 2016, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among the Company, Hecla Mining Company, a Delaware corporation (“Hecla”), and HL Idaho Corp., an Idaho corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hecla (“Merger Sub”). On September 13, 2016, the merger was completed and MMI became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hecla.
At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock of MMI was converted into the right to receive 0.2218 of a share of common stock of Hecla, with cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
Item 3.01 – Notice of Delisting or Failure to satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of Listing.
In connection with the closing of the merger, the Company notified the NYSE MKT and the Toronto Stock Exchange on September 13, 2016 that the merger had been approved by the Company’s stockholders. MMI’s shares are expected to be suspended from trading on the NYSE MKT on September 14, 2016 (before the opening). The NYSE MKT will file a delisting application on Form 25 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) to report that the shares of the Company’s common stock are no longer listed on the NYSE MKT. The Company expects its shares of common stock to cease trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange at the close of the market on September 15, 2016.
Item 3.03 – Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into the right to receive 0.2218 of a share of common stock of Hecla, with cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
Item 5.01 – Changes in Control of Registrant.
Upon the closing of the merger, a change in control of the Company occurred, and the Company now is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hecla, as described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K. At the effective time and as a result of the Merger, each share of common stock of the Company issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger was converted into 0.2218 of a share of common stock of Hecla, with cash to be paid in lieu of fractional shares.
Item 5.02 – Department of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
In connection with the merger, each of Douglas D. Dobbs, Glenn Dobbs, Robert L. Russell, Roy G. Franklin, Russell C. Babcock and Jerry G.
