DENVER–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) (Newmont or the Company) announced today the pricing terms of the previously announced offers (each, a “Tender Offer” and, together, the “Tender Offers”) to purchase for cash any and all of the outstanding (i) 3.700% Notes due 2023 issued by Newmont (the “Newmont Notes”) and (ii) 3.700% Notes due 2023 issued by Goldcorp Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont (the “Goldcorp Notes” and, together with the Newmont Notes, the “Notes”). The Tender Offers are being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement, dated December 6, 2021 (the “Offer to Purchase”).
The total consideration to be paid for each series of Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer was determined by reference to (i) the applicable fixed spread for such series of Notes set forth in the table below and (ii) the applicable yield (the “Reference Yield) for such series of Notes based on the bid side price of the U.S. Treasury Security set forth in the table below (the “Total Consideration”). The applicable Reference Yield for each series of Notes was calculated in accordance with standard market practice at 10:00 a.m., New York City time, on December 17, 2021. The Total Consideration for each series of Notes includes an early tender payment (the “Early Tender Payment”) of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes of each series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer.
The following table sets forth the pricing information for each Tender Offer:
- Includes an early tender payment of $50.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes of each series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer.
- Per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes of such applicable series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer.
In addition to the applicable Total Consideration for each series of Notes, holders who have validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on December 17, 2021 (the “Early Tender Deadline”) and whose Notes were accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will receive accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer from and including the most recent interest payment date to but excluding the early settlement date, which is currently expected to be December 20, 2021.
Holders of Notes of each series who have not yet tendered their Notes of such series have until 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on January 4, 2022 (such date and time, as the same may be extended, the “Expiration Time”), to tender their Notes pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer. Holders of the Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Deadline, but on or prior to the Expiration Time, will be eligible to receive the applicable “Tender Offer Consideration” for such series of Notes, which is an amount equal to the applicable Total Consideration less the applicable Early Tender Payment.
