On August 11, 2020 (August 12, 2020 in Australia), Coronado Global Resources Inc. (“Coronado”), as Parent, along with certain of its subsidiaries, entered into a second waiver and modification agreement (the “Modification Agreement”) with Westpac Banking Corporation, as agent, and the lenders party to its Syndicated Facility Agreement, dated September 15, 2018 (as amended, the “SFA”). As described in Coronado’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 26, 2020, the parties to the Modification Agreement previously agreed to waive Coronado’s compliance with the financial covenants under the SFA for the period of May 25, 2020 to February 28, 2021 (the “Initial Waiver Period”), subject to certain conditions and reporting requirements during the Initial Waiver Period. Pursuant to the Modification Agreement, the lenders party thereto have agreed to extend the Initial Waiver Period to test the financial covenants as at September 30, 2021, with the compliance certificate to be delivered by October 31, 2021 (the “Modified Waiver Period”), subject to, among other matters, Coronado raising further equity capital, the net proceeds of which are to be utilized to prepay a portion of the amounts outstanding under the SFA. In the event Coronado is unable to raise such equity capital by August 31, 2020 (or such later date as the agent, on behalf of the lenders, agrees), the Modification Agreement will be permanently withdrawn and terminated.

The Modification Agreement also provides, among other things: (a) pre-approval of certain transactions that Coronado may undertake during the Modified Waiver Period, including sale and leaseback of heavy mining equipment and housing assets at Coronado’s Curragh mine, so long as, among other things, the net proceeds from any such transaction are used to repay amounts owed under the SFA and 40% of such net proceeds are used to permanently reduce lenders’ commitments under the SFA; (b) an amortization schedule, which provides for a permanent reduction of $25 million to the lenders’ commitment on February 15, 2021, May 15, 2021 and August 15, 2021, respectively, if as of those dates, reductions of amounts owed under the SFA have not occurred as a result of the application of net proceeds from certain permitted transactions as referred to in (a) above or otherwise; and (c) an amendment to the applicable interest rate margin during the Modified Waiver Period. In addition, although Coronado’s ability to fully draw down amounts available under the SFA is subject to a liquidity buffer of $50 million, leading to a review event process if amounts within this buffer are drawn during the Modified Waiver Period, lender consent previously required to access amounts below the liquidity buffer of $50 million has been removed as part of the Modification Agreement.

Certain of the lenders party to the SFA, as well as certain of their respective affiliates, have performed and may in the future perform for Coronado and its subsidiaries various commercial banking, investment banking, lending, underwriting, trust services, financial advisory and other financial services, for which they have received and may in the future receive customary fees and expenses.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.

On August 17, 2020 (August 18, 2020 in Australia), Coronado entered into an Underwriting Agreement, whereby it has agreed to issue approximately 41.7 million shares of its common stock, in the form of CHESS Depositary Interests (“CDIs”), each of which represents a beneficial interest of 1/10^th fully paid share of Coronado’s common stock, in a transaction including (a) an underwritten placement to institutional investors and other selected investors and (b) a pro rata non-renounceable entitlement offer to eligible existing Coronado CDI holders (collectively, the “Offer”). Coronado expects to receive aggregate gross proceeds of approximately $180 million and pay aggregate underwriting commissions of approximately $6.75 million in connection with the Offer. The issuances of CDIs in the Offer will be made in reliance upon the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and Rule 903 of Regulation S under the Securities Act.
