Item 8.01. Other Events.
On December 18, 2012, the Board of Directors of Coeur d'Alene Mines Corporation (the “Company”) adopted a new clawback policy (the “Clawback Policy”) that generally allows the Board to seek recovery of all incentive payments that were made to executive officers and all performance-based equity awards granted to executive officers that vested, in each case, on the basis of having met or exceeded performance targets in grants or awards made after December 18, 2012, during the fiscal year prior to the filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K announcing a restatement, if it is determined that such executive officers are found personally responsible for the restatement.
The foregoing does not purport to be a complete description of the Clawback Policy, and is qualified in its entirety to the full text of the Clawback Policy attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
