(the “Company”), ~~employment~~certain of ~~Kevin~~its W.direct ~~Johnson~~and indirect wholly owned domestic subsidiaries and certain of its foreign subsidiaries in Canada, Barbados and Luxembourg (collectively with the ~~Executive~~Company, ~~Vice~~the “Debtors”) ~~President~~each commenced a case (collectively, the “Chapter 11 Cases”) by filing a voluntary petition for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Court”). The Debtors are continuing in possession of their properties and ~~General~~are ~~Counsel~~managing their businesses, as debtors-in-possession, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Court. The Company’s operating subsidiaries in Hong Kong, China, Thailand, Sri Lanka, Japan, Korea, Germany, United Kingdom, Estonia and Singapore are not Debtors under the Chapter 11 Cases. In addition, the Company’s majority owned joint venture in Quapaw, Oklahoma, is not a Debtor under the Chapter 11 Cases. The Chapter 11 Cases are styled In re Molycorp, Inc., ~~ceased~~et ~~pursuant~~al, toU.S. ~~the~~Bankruptcy ~~terms~~Court, District of ~~his~~Delaware, ~~employment~~Case ~~agreement~~No. 15-11357.

On April 8, 2016, the Court entered an order approving the Fourth Joint Amended Plan of Reorganization ("the Plan"). The confirmation is one of the final steps before the Company will be able to emerge from Chapter 11 protection as a newly reorganized company.

On July 28, 2016, the Debtors filed their monthly operating report (the “Monthly Operating Report”) for the month of June 2016 with the Court. The Monthly Operating Report is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K ("Form 8-K") and is incorporated herein by reference, provided, that certain of the detailed attachments to the Monthly Operating Report that were filed with the Court are not included in Exhibit 99.1. Such information can be viewed on the Court's docket at www.deb.uscourts.gov or at https://cases.primeclerk.com/molycorp/.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Monthly Operating Report

The Company cautions investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Report, which was not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any of the securities of the Company. The Monthly Operating Report is limited in scope, covers limited time periods, and has been prepared solely for the purpose of complying with the monthly reporting requirements of the Court. The Monthly Operating Report was not audited or reviewed by independent accountants, was not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, is in a format prescribed by applicable bankruptcy laws, and is subject to future adjustment and reconciliation. There can be no assurance that, from the perspective of an investor or potential investor in the Company’s securities, the Monthly Operating Report is complete. The Monthly Operating Report also contains information for periods which are shorter and otherwise different from those required in the Company’s periodic reports pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and such information might not be indicative of the Company’s financial condition or operating results for a period that would be reflected in the Company’s financial statements or in its report pursuant to the Exchange Act. Information set forth in the Monthly Operating Report should not be viewed as indicative of future results.

Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This Form 8-K, and the information furnished in the attached exhibit, contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements contained in this Form 8-K that are not statements of historical fact and other estimates, projections, future trends and the outcome of events that have not yet occurred referenced in this Form 8-K should be considered forward-looking statements. Readers can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as "may," "will," "would," "could," "should," "expect," "intend," "plan," "anticipate," "believe," "estimate," "predict," "potential," "continue" or the negative or plural of these terms or other similar expressions or phrases. Although the Company believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that actual results will be consistent with these forward-looking statements. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements include, among others, the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, including its ability to successfully emerge from the Chapter 11 protection and implement the Plan; the Company's ability to obtain the regulatory approvals to implement the Plans; the ability of the Company to purchase sufficient quantities of raw materials to continue operations of its facilities at current level;

and the ability of the Company to manage its cash flow in order to remain within the lending limits set out in the Final DIP Credit Agreement, also defined in the Company's report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015. Readers are referred to the Company's report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2015 filed with the SEC on August 17, 2015, which further identifies other important risk factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K and the exhibit hereto. The Company disclaims any obligations to update any forward-looking statements.
