On June 15, 2015, Hecla Mining Company (the “Company” or “Hecla”) and our wholly owned subsidiary, RHL Holdings, Inc. (“RHL”) completed the acquisition of Revett Mining Company, Inc. (“Revett”) pursuant to the terms of the March 26, 2015 Agreement and Plan of Merger among the parties, as amended (the “Agreement”). Under the terms of the Agreement, each share of common stock of Revett outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger will be exchanged for 0.1622 of a share of our common stock, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares. Revett had 39,273,989 shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
The Agreement has been incorporated by reference herein to provide you with information regarding its terms. It is not intended to provide any other factual information about us. Such information can be found elsewhere in other public filings we have made with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available without charge at www.sec.gov.
The Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company, RHL, and Revett. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties are qualified by information in a confidential disclosure schedule that the Company has exchanged in connection with signing the Agreement. While the Company does not believe that it contains information securities laws require us to publicly disclose other than information that has already been so disclosed, the disclosure schedule does contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations and warranties set forth in the Agreement. Accordingly you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts, since they are modified in important part by the disclosure schedule. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations and warranties may have changed since the date of the Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures.
