Item 4
Summary of Material Change
Silver Standard Resources Inc. (Silver Standard or the Company) announced in a news release dated January 27, 2015 that it received a Notice of Reassessment in the aggregate amount of approximately $41.4 million from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) related to the tax treatment of the 2010 sale of shares of its subsidiary that owned and operated the Snowfield and Brucejack projects.
Item 5
Full Description of Material Change
Silver Standard announced on January 27, 2015 that it received a Notice of Reassessment in the aggregate amount of approximately $41.4 million from the CRA related to the tax treatment of the 2010 sale of shares of its subsidiary that owned and operated the Snowfield and Brucejack projects. The CRA has asserted the transaction was of an income nature and not of a capital nature as recorded by the Company.
Silver Standard strongly disagrees with the CRAs reassessment and will vigorously defend its position including filing a Notice of Objection and, if necessary, a Notice of Appeal to the Tax Court of Canada. In order to object to the reassessment, the Company is required to make a deposit of 50% of the reassessed amount plus interest accrued to the date of the Notice of Reassessment. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had an unaudited cash and cash equivalents balance of approximately $185 million.

The Company cannot determine how long the appeal and court processes will take at this time. If Silver Standard is successful in defending its position, deposits made plus applicable interest will be refunded.

Our forward-looking statements reflect current expectations regarding future events and operating performance and speak only as of the date hereof and we do not assume any obligation to update forward-looking statements if circumstances or management's beliefs, expectations or opinions should change other than as required by applicable law.
