On April 17, 2015, pursuant to Agreement and Plan of Merger among Coeur Mining, Inc. (“Coeur”), the Company, Hollywood Merger Sub, Inc. and Paramount Nevada Gold Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company that was subsequently merged with and into its direct subsidiary, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp., Hollywood Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly owned subsidiary of Coeur (the “Merger”). At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock (other than shares owned by the Company, Coeur or Merger Sub, which were cancelled) was converted into the right to receive 0.2016 shares of common stock of Coeur, with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares.

As a result of the Merger, the Company has terminated any and all offerings of the Company’s securities pursuant to the Registration Statements. Accordingly, the Company hereby terminates the effectiveness of the Registration Statements and, in accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in Part II of each of the Registration Statements to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that had been registered for issuance that remain unsold at the termination of the offerings, the Company hereby removes from registration all of such securities of the Company registered but unsold under the Registration Statements, if any.
