Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 17, 2008, Coeur dAlene Mines Corporation (the Company) filed an automatically
effective registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-154391) (the Registration Statement) with
the Securities and Exchange Commission, relating to the public offering, pursuant to Rule 415 under
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, of an unlimited amount of common stock, preferred stock,
debt securities, warrants and units of the Company.
The Company is hereby filing certain exhibits in connection with its public offering under the
Registration Statement of $50,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Floating
Rate Convertible Notes due 2012 (the Notes) and a warrant (the Warrant) for the purchase of up
to $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of additional notes. See Item 9.01 Financial Statements
and Exhibits.
On October 20, 2008, the Company filed, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, a
prospectus supplement, dated October 20, 2008, relating to the public offering of the Notes and
Warrant. The Company issued and sold the Notes and Warrant on October 20, 2008. The Notes were
issued under an indenture, dated October 20, 2008 (the Indenture), between the Company and The
Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the Trustee), as supplemented by a first supplemental
indenture and security agreement, dated October 20, 2008 (the Supplemental Indenture), among the
Company, the Companys wholly owned subsidiary, Coeur Rochester, Inc., as grantor, and the Trustee.
The Notes initially bear interest at a rate of 12.0%. The interest rate will be subject to
reset quarterly at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 7.5% per year, provided that in no event will the
annual rate be less than 9.0% or more than 12.0%. Interest on the Notes is payable quarterly on
January 15, April 15, July 15 and October 15 of each year, beginning on January 15, 2009. The
Notes mature on October 15, 2012, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased by the Company.
The Notes will be secured by certain assets of the Companys subsidiary, Coeur Rochester, Inc.
The Notes are convertible, at the holders option, at an initial conversion rate of 869.5652
of the Companys common shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which is equivalent to an
initial conversion price of approximately $1.15 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment in
certain circumstances.
The Warrant is exercisable between February 7, 2009 and March 9, 2009 and entitles the holder
to purchase up to $25,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes at an exercise price
approximately equal to the price of the Notes issued October 20, 2008.
Copies of the Indenture, Supplemental Indenture, Notes, Warrant and Press Release relating to
the offering are filed as Exhibits 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 99.1, respectively, to this Current
Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
