Sacre-Coeur Minerals Seeks to Further Amend Gold Participation Bonds

Sacre-Coeur Minerals, Ltd (the “Company”) today announced that it is seeking to further amend the terms of the gold participation bonds (the “Bonds”) issued by its wholly-owned subsidiary, Sacre-Coeur Minerals (Jersey) Limited (the “Issuer”), under a trust deed dated January 15, 2013, as amended (the “Trust Deed”).

On May 14, 2014, the Company announced it had obtained Bondholder consent, by way of an extraordinary resolution, to restructure the agreement for delivery of ETF Units in respect of the remaining principal balance of US$5,379,500, as well as provide for the payment of Interest from May 15, 2014 through maturity in ETF Units, where the aggregate number of ETF Units to be delivered is calculated as a fraction of actual gold produced by the Company. Subsequent to obtaining such Bondholder approval, The Law Debenture Trust Corporation p.l.c. (the “Trustee”) proposed additional amendments to certain provisions of the Trust Deed in order to include an enforceable right to the deliveries of the ETF Units due on the four additional quarterly delivery dates as outlined in the Company’s April 14, 2014 press release, and certain other consequential amendments required to fully give effect to the matters approved by Bondholders in May 2014. Accordingly, the Issuer and the Trustee agreed to circulate a further amendment to the Trust Deed to address these matters.

As the Issuer was rendered unable to meet the May 15, 2014 Interest payment date with respect to the Bonds, it has also requested that Bondholders extend such date to June 30, 2014. As a result of these proposed changes, the minimum aggregate delivery to Bondholders by March 31, 2017 is being increased from 5,361 ETF Units (each representing 1 tr oz of gold) to 5,425 ETF Units, which will be followed by the additional deliveries.

Agreement to amend the Trust Deed as proposed requires the consent of holders of not less than 75% of the outstanding principal amount of the Bonds by way of an extraordinary resolution.
