(the “Company”) entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Mackay Precious Metals Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”), and Mackay Gold & Silver Corp., a British Columbia corporation (“Mackay Parent”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell all of its right, title, and interest in and to the membership interests in Comstock Mining LLC, Comstock Processing LLC, and Comstock Exploration and Development LLC (each a Nevada limited liability company), and all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Comstock Real Estate Inc., a Nevada corporation whose primary asset in the Gold Hill Hotel that resides within the boundaries of the Comstock mining district (collectively, the “Acquired Interests”), to Buyer. The entities whose interests comprise the Acquired Interests (collectively, the “Acquired Entities”) own or control properties in Lyon County and Storey County, Nevada. This sale does not include the Company’s real estate in Silver Springs, Nevada. \n\n \n\nThe aggregate purchase price for the Acquired Interests consists of: (a) $20,000,000 in cash (the “Initial Payment”); (b) 2,000,000 shares of Mackay Parent common stock (the “First Tranche Shares”); (c) $7,000,000 payable within eighteen (18) months following the Effective Date (the “Second Tranche Payment”), which may be paid partially in shares of Mackay Parent common stock under certain conditions based on the volume-weighted average trading price of Mackay Parent’s common stock; (d) assumption of all of the Acquired Entities reclamation obligations and the associated reclamation and surety bond deposits and collateral and (e) a contingent payment of $10,000,000 in cash payable if, within seven (7) years after the Closing Date, Buyer or Mackay Parent makes a Construction Decision or a Change of Control occurs (the “Contingent Payment”). The Purchase Agreement also includes a 1.5% net smelter returns (“NSR”) royalty on minerals produced from the transferred properties, including a Royalty Agreement, and subject to Buyer’s repurchase rights under specified conditions. The transaction is expected to close in early July subject to TSX-V stock exchange approvals.\n\n \n\nBuyer shall have the right at any time to repurchase 100% of the NSR Royalty for a payment of US$3,500,000, provided that if the seven-year period for the payment of the Contingent Payment has lapsed without the payment of the Contingent Payment, the royalty buyout payment shall be increased to US$7,000,000. The Second Tranche Payment is secured by a Deed of Trust on the properties owned by the Acquired Entities and bears interest at the rate of twelve percent (12%) per annum after its due date. \n\n \n\nA non-refundable deposit of $150,000 previously paid by Buyer is credited against the Initial Payment at Closing.\n\n \n\nThe foregoing summary of the terms of the Purchase Agreement and Royalty Agreement are not intended to be exhaustive and are qualified in their entirety by the terms of the Purchase Agreement, Royalty Agreement, and Deed of Trust, as applicable, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2, and 10.3 respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.\n\n \n\nA copy of the press release announcing the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K."}
