or the &#147;Company&#148;) entered into the previously disclosed separation and distribution agreement (the &#147;Separation

of SpinCo from the Company, and to provide for the allocation between the Company and SpinCo of the Company&#146;s and SpinCo&#146;s

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As previously announced, Paramount entered into the Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2014 (the &#147;Original Merger Agreement&#148;), which was amended by the Amendment
to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 3, 2015 (the &#147;Amendment&#148; and, together with the Original Merger Agreement,
the &#147;Merger Agreement&#148;), with Coeur Mining, Inc. (&#147;Coeur&#148;), Hollywood Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Coeur (&#147;Merger Sub&#148;), Paramount, and Paramount Nevada Gold Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paramount
that was subsequently merged with and into its direct subsidiary SpinCo. On April 17, 2015, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Merger Agreement, Paramount spun off SpinCo to its stockholders (the &#147;Spin-Off&#148;) and Merger Sub merged with
and into Paramount, with Paramount continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur (the &#147;Merger&#148;).</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">On April 17, 2015, prior to the Spin-Off, (i) Coeur made a loan
to Paramount in the principal amount of $8.53 million and Paramount contributed substantially all of the proceeds of such loan
to SpinCo as an equity contribution, and (ii) SpinCo issued to Coeur, in exchange for a cash payment by Coeur in the amount of
$1.47 million, newly issued shares of SpinCo common stock amounting to 4.9% of the outstanding SpinCo common stock after issuance.
Paramount and SpinCo then entered into the previously disclosed Separation Agreement, and Paramount completed the Spin-Off by paying
a dividend to Paramount&#146;s stockholders on a pro rata basis of all of the shares of SpinCo common stock then held by Paramount.
A copy of the Separation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&nbsp;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">As a result of the Spin-Off, former Paramount&#146;s stockholders
own approximately 95.1% of SpinCo, which is a standalone, publicly traded company, listed on the NYSE MKT LLC (the &#147;NYSE
MKT&#148;) under the symbol &#147;PZG&#148;, and Coeur owns the remaining 4.9%.</P>

completed the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Paramount, with Paramount
continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective
time, each issued and outstanding share of Paramount common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was converted into the right to
receive 0.2016 shares of Coeur common stock, par value $0.01 per share (other than shares held by Coeur, Paramount or any wholly-owned
subsidiary of either one), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares (the &#147;Merger Consideration&#148;). Coeur issued approximately
32.7 million shares of Coeur common stock as consideration in the Merger. Based on the closing price of Coeur common stock
on April 16, 2015 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, the aggregate value of the consideration paid or payable to former
holders of Paramount&#146;s common stock is approximately $185.9 million.</P>

of the Merger, Paramount expects that a Form 25 will be filed by the NYSE MKT on or around April 20, 2015 with the SEC to provide
notification of the removal of the shares of Paramount common stock from listing on the NYSE MKT and from registration under Section
12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the &#147;Exchange Act&#148;). Paramount intends to file a certificate
on Form 15 with the SEC in due course to terminate the registration of the Company&#146;s common stock under Section 12(g) of
the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.</P>

Item 1.01
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
The information disclosed under Item 2.01 of this Current Report
on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
On April 17, 2015, Paramount Gold and Silver Corp. ("Paramount"
or the "Company") entered into the previously disclosed separation and distribution agreement (the "Separation
Agreement") with its wholly owned subsidiary, Paramount Gold Nevada Corp. ("SpinCo"), to effect the separation
of SpinCo from the Company, and to provide for the allocation between the Company and SpinCo of the Company's and SpinCo's
assets, liabilities and obligations attributable to periods prior to, at and after the separation.
The foregoing description of the Separation Agreement is not
a complete description of all of the parties' rights and obligations under the Separation Agreement. The above description
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Separation Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.3 hereto and is incorporated
herein by reference.
Item 2.01.
Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
As previously announced, Paramount entered into the Agreement
and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 16, 2014 (the "Original Merger Agreement"), which was amended by the Amendment
to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated March 3, 2015 (the "Amendment" and, together with the Original Merger Agreement,
the "Merger Agreement"), with Coeur Mining, Inc. ("Coeur"), Hollywood Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly-owned
subsidiary of Coeur ("Merger Sub"), Paramount, and Paramount Nevada Gold Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paramount
that was subsequently merged with and into its direct subsidiary SpinCo. On April 17, 2015, pursuant to the terms and conditions
of the Merger Agreement, Paramount spun off SpinCo to its stockholders (the "Spin-Off") and Merger Sub merged with
and into Paramount, with Paramount continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur (the "Merger").
Spin-Off
On April 17, 2015, prior to the Spin-Off, (i) Coeur made a loan
to Paramount in the principal amount of $8.53 million and Paramount contributed substantially all of the proceeds of such loan
to SpinCo as an equity contribution, and (ii) SpinCo issued to Coeur, in exchange for a cash payment by Coeur in the amount of
$1.47 million, newly issued shares of SpinCo common stock amounting to 4.9% of the outstanding SpinCo common stock after issuance.
Paramount and SpinCo then entered into the previously disclosed Separation Agreement, and Paramount completed the Spin-Off by paying
a dividend to Paramount's stockholders on a pro rata basis of all of the shares of SpinCo common stock then held by Paramount.
A copy of the Separation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 2.3 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
As a result of the Spin-Off, former Paramount's stockholders
own approximately 95.1% of SpinCo, which is a standalone, publicly traded company, listed on the NYSE MKT LLC (the "NYSE
MKT") under the symbol "PZG", and Coeur owns the remaining 4.9%.
Merger
On April 17, 2015, following the Spin-Off, Merger Sub and Paramount
completed the Merger contemplated by the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which Merger Sub merged with and into Paramount, with Paramount
continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective
time, each issued and outstanding share of Paramount common stock, par value $0.001 per share, was converted into the right to
receive 0.2016 shares of Coeur common stock, par value $0.01 per share (other than shares held by Coeur, Paramount or any wholly-owned
subsidiary of either one), with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares (the "Merger Consideration"). Coeur issued approximately
32.7 million shares of Coeur common stock as consideration in the Merger. Based on the closing price of Coeur common stock
on April 16, 2015 as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, the aggregate value of the consideration paid or payable to former
holders of Paramount's common stock is approximately $185.9 million.
As a result of the Merger, Paramount's common stock will
no longer remain listed on the NYSE MKT or the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Additional information regarding the Merger may be found in
the press release issued by Paramount in connection with the announcement of the completion of the Merger, which is filed as Exhibit
99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement and the transactions
contemplated by the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, reference
to the full text of the Original Merger Agreement, which was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") as Exhibit 2.1 to Paramount's Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 18, 2014 and is incorporated by
reference as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on 8-K, and the Amendment, which was previously filed with the SEC as Exhibit 2.1
to Paramount's Current Report on Form 8-K dated March 6, 2015, and is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 2.2 to this Current
Report on 8-K.
Item 3.01
Notice
                                         of Delisting or Failure to Satisfy a Continued Listing Rule or Standard; Transfer of
                                         		Listing.
In connection with the completion of the Merger, trading in
shares of Paramount's common stock on the NYSE MKT will be suspended as of close of business on April 17, 2015. As a consequence
of the Merger, Paramount expects that a Form 25 will be filed by the NYSE MKT on or around April 20, 2015 with the SEC to provide
notification of the removal of the shares of Paramount common stock from listing on the NYSE MKT and from registration under Section
12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Paramount intends to file a certificate
on Form 15 with the SEC in due course to terminate the registration of the Company's common stock under Section 12(g) of
the Exchange Act and suspend its reporting obligations under Section 13 and Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
Item 3.03
Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
The information disclosed under Items 2.01, 3.01, 5.01, 5.02,
and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
In connection with the completion of the Merger, each share
of Paramount common stock issued and outstanding immediately before the effective time of the Merger (other than shares held by
Coeur, Paramount or any wholly-owned subsidiary of either one) was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration.
At the effective time of the Merger, Paramount's stockholders immediately before the effective time ceased to have any rights
as stockholders in Paramount (other than their right to receive the Merger Consideration) and will instead have the rights of a
stockholder in Coeur.
Item 5.01
Change
                                         in Control of Registrant.
The information disclosed under Items 2.01, 3.01, 3.03, 5.02
and 5.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
At the effective time, as contemplated under the Merger
Agreement, Merger Sub merged with and into Paramount, with Paramount continuing as the surviving corporation and a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Coeur. The aggregate consideration paid in connection with the Merger consisted of
approximately 32.7  million shares of Coeur common stock.
Item 5.02
Departure
                                         of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
                                         Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
The information disclosed under Item 2.01 of this Current Report
on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at the effective time, Christopher
Crupi, John Carden, Michel Yvan Stinglhamber, Robert Dinning, Eliseo Gonzalez-Urien, Christopher Reynolds, and Shawn Kennedy, who
were members of the Company's board of directors immediately prior to the effective time, and Christopher Crupi, Carlo Buffone,
Glen Van Treek, and Michael Clancy, who were officers of the Company immediately prior to the effective time, ceased to be directors
and officers of the Company. These actions were not a result of any disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the
Company's operations, policies or practices.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Merger,
the directors of Merger Sub immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (Frank L. Hanagarne, Jr., Mitchell J. Krebs and
Peter C. Mitchell) became the directors of the surviving corporation of the Merger, and the officers of Merger Sub immediately
prior to the effective time of the Merger, including Mitchell J. Krebs-Chairman and President, Courtney R.B. Lynn-Vice President
and Treasurer, Frank L. Hanagarne, Jr.- Vice President, Peter C. Mitchell-Vice President and Mark Spurbeck-Vice President, became
the officers of the surviving corporation of the Merger.
Item 5.03
Amendments
                                         to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.
The information disclosed under Item 2.01 of this Current Report
on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference herein.
At the effective time, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the
certificate of incorporation and the bylaws of the Company were amended and restated in their entirety to be identical to the certificate
of incorporation and the bylaws of the Merger Sub, as in effect at the effective time of the Merger. At the effective time, pursuant
to the filing of a certificate of merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, the name of the Company was changed
to "Coeur San Miguel Corp." The certificate of incorporation and bylaws of Coeur San Miguel Corp. are included hereto
as Exhibits 3.1 and 3.2, respectively, and incorporated by reference herein.
