For Immediate Release: June 25, 2015
Molycorp, Inc. Signs Restructuring Support Agreement with Key Creditors
— Agreement Covers More Than 70% of 10% Secured Noteholders
— Company to Complete Restructuring of $1.7 Billion of Debt Through Chapter 11 for U.S.,
Canadian Operations
— Obtains Agreement for Up to $225 Million in New DIP Financing
Greenwood Village, Col. (June 25, 2015) – Molycorp, Inc. (NYSE: MCP), (“Molycorp” or the “Company”)
the only global, vertically-integrated producer of rare earth products used in many electronic,
transportation, industrial and clean energy applications, announced today that it has executed a
restructuring support agreement with creditors that hold over 70% of the aggregate principal amount of
the Company’s 10% senior secured notes. The agreement provides for a financial restructuring of the
Company’s $1.7 billion in debt and provides up to $225 million in gross proceeds in new financing to
support operations while the Company completes negotiations with creditors.
To facilitate its financial restructuring, Molycorp and ¡ts North American subsidiaries, together with certain
of its non-operating subsidiaries outside of North America, today filed voluntary petitions under Chapter
11 of the Bankruptcy Code in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). The
Company’s operations outside of North America, with the exception of non-operating companies in
Luxembourg and Barbados, are excluded from the filings. Molycorp Rare Metals (Oklahoma), LLC, with
operations in Quapaw, Oklahoma, also is excluded from the filings as it is not 100% owned by the
Company.
Molycorp has obtained commitments from a group of its 10% senior secured noteholders, led by JHL
Capital Group, JMB Capital Partners and QVT Financial LP, for up to $225 million in gross proceeds of
debtor-in-possession (DIP) financing, subject to Court approval, which will be used to support operations
during the Chapter 11 period. Approximately $40 million of this amount is expected to be made
available to the Company immediately after an initial Court hearing, with approximately another $90
million available subject to Court approval at a further hearing at the end of the first month of the case.
The remainder is available on a delayed basis and subject to lender conditions. Final maturity for the DIP
financing is November 30, 2015, which can be extended until December 30, 2015. The Company
expects to exit Chapter 11 before the end of the year.
“The actions we have taken today are important steps toward achieving a restructuring of our $1.7 billion
debt with our major creditor constituencies. In doing so, the Company expects to exit Chapter 11 with
an appropriate financing framework to support our business going forward,” said Geoff Bedford,
Molycorp President and Chief Executive Officer. “Our operations in Europe and Asia are not a part of
today’s filings, and these businesses are cash-flow positive and play a vital role in many key industries
worldwide. All of the Company’s facilities in North America and around the world will continue operating
as usual. We greatly appreciate the efforts of our lenders and the continued support of our customers.”
Employees are working their usual schedules. Purchasing of goods and services will continue, with all
purchases made after today’s filings granted a special administrative priority under the law.
As part of today’s filings, the Company filed a restructuring plan term sheet that broadly outlines the
terms of the plan of reorganization that the Company expects to pursue. The plan term sheet provides for
the discharge of the Company’s more than $700 million in unsecured notes. The plan term sheet further
calls for holders of the Debtors’ $650 million in 10% senior secured notes to have their debt exchanged
for a majority equity stake in reorganized Molycorp.
As is the case after a Chapter 11 filing, Molycorp expects to receive notice from the New York Stock
Exchange informing the Company that its shares will be delisted from the exchange within nine calendar
days of notification. The Company expects that its shares will be traded on the OTC Pink Sheets
exchange. The Company previously announced plans to postpone until the second half of 2015 the
annual meeting of shareholders while it completes this process,
Molycorp is being advised by the investment banking firm of Miller Buckfire 8 Co. and is receiving
financial advice from AlixPartners, LLP. Jones Day and Young, Conaway, Stargatt 8 Taylor LLP act as
legal counsel to the Company in this process.
