convertible senior notesfinancial
Convertible senior notes are a type of loan that a company issues to investors, which can be turned into company shares later on. They are called "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company runs into trouble. This allows investors to earn interest like a loan but also have the chance to own part of the company if its value rises.
indentureregulatory
An indenture is a legal agreement between a company that borrows money by issuing bonds and the people who buy those bonds. It explains the rules the company must follow, like paying back the money and keeping certain financial promises. This document helps both sides understand their rights and responsibilities.
make-whole premiumfinancial
A make-whole premium is an extra payment a borrower must give bondholders when repaying debt early to compensate them for lost future interest; think of it as a lump-sum “catch-up” to leave lenders financially where they would have been if the loan had run its full term. It matters to investors because it affects how much they receive on early redemption and influences a company’s decision to refinance or repay debt, altering bond value and expected returns.
redemption datefinancial
The redemption date is the specific day when a debt-like security (such as a bond, preferred share, or certificate) must be repaid by the issuer and the investor receives the principal plus any final interest or dividends. It matters to investors because it tells when cash will return, shapes the effective return and price of the security, and creates reinvestment and timing considerations—like knowing when a loan is due so you can plan what to do with the returned money.
conversion ratefinancial
Conversion rate is the proportion of items, people or contracts that take a desired action out of the total possible — for example the share of website visitors who make a purchase, or the number of convertible bonds that are exchanged for shares. Investors care because it measures how effectively a business or financial instrument turns opportunity into real outcomes, like sales or share issuance, which directly affects revenue, cash flow and ownership dilution.
fully diluted share countfinancial
The fully diluted share count is the total number of shares that would exist if every outstanding option, warrant, convertible security and other right to receive stock were exercised or converted today. Think of a company as a pizza: fully diluted count shows how many slices there would be if all promised slices were actually cut and handed out, which matters because it lowers each existing slice’s share of profits and voting power and changes per-share values like earnings and ownership percentages.
share buyback programfinancial
A share buyback program is when a company uses its cash to repurchase its own outstanding shares from the market, reducing the number of shares available to investors. That matters because it can raise the value of remaining shares and signal management's confidence in the business—similar to a bakery buying back unsold loafs to make each remaining loaf represent a larger share of its oven’s output—though buybacks can also affect cash available for other uses.
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
SSR Mining Inc. (Nasdaq/TSX: SSRM) ("SSR Mining" or the “Company") announces that it has issued a notice of redemption (the “Redemption Notice”) for its $230,000,000 original aggregate principal amount of its 2.50% Convertible Senior Notes due 2039 (the “Notes”). There is currently $227,495,000 aggregate principal of Notes outstanding.
The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture dated as of March 19, 2019 (the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Bank of New York Mellon, as Trustee. Pursuant to the Redemption Notice, on March 20, 2026 (the “Redemption Date”), the Company will redeem all Notes that have not been converted prior to such date and will pay (i) a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding (the “Redemption Price”), plus (ii) accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, plus (iii) a make-whole premium equal to the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of interest that would have been made on the Notes to be redeemed had such Notes remained outstanding from the Redemption Date to April 1, 2026, excluding interest accrued to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, which is otherwise paid pursuant to the preceding clause (ii) (the “Make-Whole Premium,” and together with the Redemption Price, the “Total Redemption Amount”). On the Redemption Date, the Total Redemption Amount will become due and payable upon each Note to be redeemed and interest thereon will cease to accrue on and after the Redemption Date.
The Notes called for redemption may be converted by holders at any time before 5:00PM New York City time on March 19, 2026 (the “Conversion Deadline”). The Conversion Rate for Notes converted after the date of the Redemption Notice and prior to the Conversion Deadline will be equal to 56.7931 common shares of the Company, without par value (the “Common Shares”), per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (representing the initial Conversion Rate of 54.1082, which has been adjusted in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Indenture). The Company will settle any conversions occurring after the date of the Redemption Notice and prior to the Conversion Deadline by delivering Common Shares, plus cash in lieu of any resulting fractional shares and accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes to, but excluding the date of conversion, and the Make-Whole Premium.
If all holders elected to convert their Notes, approximately 13 million common shares would be issued to settle the conversion. These shares have already been reflected in the Company’s fully diluted share count for the purposes of financial reporting. SSR Mining repurchased approximately 20 million shares at an average price of $15.76 per share between 2021 to 2024, and on February 17, 2026, the Company announced Board approval for a share buyback program of up to $300 million.
