Each Tender Offer for a series of Notes is separate and distinct and will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 25, 2025 (such time and date, as the same may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the applicable 'Expiration Date'), unless such Tender Offer is terminated earlier by Newmont. Holders of the Notes must validly tender (and not validly withdraw) their Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 8, 2025 (such time and date, as it may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the applicable 'Early Tender Date'), to be eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration (as defined below) for such series of Notes, which includes the applicable Early Tender Payment set forth in the table above. Holders of the Notes who validly tender their Notes following the Early Tender Date, but prior to or at the Expiration Date, will be eligible to receive the applicable 'Late Tender Offer Consideration' for such series of Notes, which is an amount equal to the applicable Total Consideration less the applicable Early Tender Payment. Tenders of the Notes may be validly withdrawn at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 8, 2025 (such time and date, as it may be extended with respect to a Tender Offer, the applicable 'Withdrawal Deadline'), but not thereafter, unless Newmont is required by applicable law to extend the Withdrawal Deadline.
The 'Total Consideration' per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes of a series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer to Purchase by reference to (i) the applicable fixed spread for such series of Notes set forth in the table above and (ii) the applicable yield for such series of Notes based on the bid-side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Reference Security (the 'Reference Security') set forth in the table above, as displayed on the applicable page on the Bloomberg Reference Page FIT6 (with respect to the Pool 1 Tender Offers) and FIT1 (with respect to the Pool 2 Tender Offers), as applicable, at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on August 11, 2025, as such date and time may be extended. In addition to the applicable Total Consideration or the applicable Late Tender Offer Consideration, as applicable, for such series of Notes, holders of Notes of such series 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 applicable settlement date.
Payment for the Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to or at the Early Tender Date and that are accepted for purchase may be made, at the Company's option, on the date referred to as the 'Early Settlement Date.' It is anticipated that the Early Settlement Date, if it occurs, will be on or around August 13, 2025, the third business day following the Early Tender Date (assuming the Early Tender Date is on August 8, 2025), unless extended or earlier terminated. If the Early Settlement Date occurs, payment for the Notes that are validly tendered after the Early Tender Date and prior to or at the Expiration Date and that are accepted for purchase will be made on the date referred to as the 'Final Settlement Date.' If no Early Settlement Date occurs, then payment for all the Notes that are validly tendered at any time prior to or at the Expiration Date and that are accepted for purchase will be made on the Final Settlement Date. The Final Settlement Date will be promptly following the Expiration Date. It is anticipated that the Final Settlement Date for the Notes will be on or around August 28, 2025, the third business day following the Expiration Date (assuming the Expiration Date is on August 25, 2025), unless extended or earlier terminated.
The applicable Maximum Amount limits the maximum aggregate principal amount of (i) Pool 1 Tender Offers to $1,000 million and (ii) the Pool 2 Tender Offers to $1,000 million, in each case, that may be purchased pursuant to the Tender Offers. Subject to applicable law, Newmont reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to increase, decrease or eliminate the Aggregate Cap and/or the applicable Maximum Amount for each series of Notes without extending the Early Tender Date, the Withdrawal Deadline or the Expiration Date. In addition, Newmont reserves the right, subject to applicable law, to (i) waive any and all conditions to any of the Tender Offers, (ii) extend or terminate any of the Tender Offers, (iii) increase or decrease the Aggregate Cap, (iv) increase or decrease either of the Maximum Amounts, or (v) otherwise amend any of the Tender Offers. The Company may take any action described in clauses (i) through (v) above with respect to one or more Tender Offers without having to do so for all Tender Offers.
Subject to the Aggregate Cap, the Maximum Amounts and proration, if applicable, the Notes accepted for payment on the Early Tender Date or the Expiration Date, as applicable, will be accepted in accordance with the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above (with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 3 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level in the case of the Pool 1 Tender Offers and with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 6 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level in the case of the Pool 2 Tender Offers). Subject to the Aggregate Cap, the Maximum Amounts and proration, if applicable, all Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted in each Tender Offer, and all Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date having a higher Acceptance Priority Level will be accepted before any Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date having a lower Acceptance Priority Level are accepted in each Tender Offer. However, subject to the Aggregate Cap, the Maximum Amounts and proration, if applicable, Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date will be accepted for purchase in priority to other Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date, even if such Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Date have a higher Acceptance Priority Level than Notes validly tendered prior to or at the Early Tender Date in each Tender Offer.
Newmont's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the Notes that are validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offers is subject to the satisfaction or waiver by Newmont of certain conditions to the Tender Offers set forth in the Offer to Purchase. Each Tender Offer is not conditioned upon the completion of the other Tender Offers. In addition, the Tender Offers are not conditioned on any minimum aggregate principal amount of Notes of a series being tendered.

King & Co., Inc. is acting as the information and tender agent in connection with the Tender Offers (the 'Information and Tender Agent').
