Because the Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date have an aggregate principal amount that exceeds the Pool 1 Maximum Amount, Newmont does not expect to accept for purchase all Pool 1 Notes that have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. Rather, subject to the Pool 1 Maximum Amount and the Acceptance Priority Levels set forth in the table above, in each case as further described in the Offer to Purchase, Newmont expects to accept for purchase all of the 2.800% senior notes due 2029 and 2.250% senior notes due 2030 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date. Newmont expects to accept for purchase the 3.250% notes due 2030 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date subject to proration as set forth in the Offer to Purchase. As described further in the Offer to Purchase, Notes tendered and not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the tendering holder's account. Additionally, because the Pool 1 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to or at the Early Tender Date have an aggregate principal amount that exceeds the Pool 1 Maximum Amount, Newmont does not expect to accept for purchase any Pool 1 Notes tendered after the Early Tender Date on a subsequent settlement date. The Tender Offers for the Pool 1 Notes will expire at 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on August 25, 2025 (such time and date, the 'Expiration Date'). Newmont has increased the previously announced Pool 1 Maximum Amount from $1,000,000,000 to $1,000,030,000 and the previously announced Aggregate Cap from $2,000,000,000 to $2,000,030,000 aggregate principal amount (the 'Aggregate Cap') of its Notes.

Article content
The 'Total Consideration' per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes of a series validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to or at the Early Tender Date and accepted for purchase pursuant to the applicable Tender Offer will be determined in the manner described in the Offer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 time and date may be extended. Only holders of Notes who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Notes prior to or at the Early Tender Date are eligible to receive the applicable Total Consideration, which is inclusive of an early tender payment equal to $50 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, for each series of Notes accepted for purchase. In addition to the applicable Total Consideration 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 Early Settlement Date, which is currently expected to be August 13, 2025.
Article content
Newmont will issue a press release specifying the Total Consideration for each series of Notes expected to be accepted for purchase. 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.

No authority has passed upon the accuracy or adequacy of the Offer to Purchase or any related documents, and it is unlawful and may be a criminal offense to make any representation to the contrary.
Article content
This press release does not constitute an offer to purchase, or a solicitation of an offer to sell, or the solicitation of tenders with respect to, the Notes or any other securities. No offer, solicitation, purchase or sale will be made in any jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation, purchase or sale would be unlawful. The Tender Offers are being made solely pursuant to the Offer to Purchase and only to such persons and in such jurisdictions as is permitted under applicable law. None of Newmont, the Dealer Managers, the Information and Tender Agent or the trustees with respect to the Notes makes any recommendation as to whether holders of the Notes should tender, or refrain from tendering, all or any portion of the principal amount of their Notes pursuant to the Tender Offers, and no one has been authorized by any of them to make such a recommendation. Holders of the Notes must make their own decision as to whether to tender any of their Notes and, if so, the principal amount of their Notes to tender pursuant to the Tender Offers.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward Looking Statements:
Article content
This release contains 'forward-looking statements' within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws. All statements regarding the expiration and closing of the Tender Offers and future satisfaction of terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the offer to purchase that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. Such statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of the Company's management and are subject to risks and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements contained in this release because of a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, general market conditions which might affect the Tender Offers and other factors identified in the offer to purchase and the Company's periodic reports. For a discussion of such risks and other factors that might impact future looking statements, see Newmont's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the 'SEC') on February 21, 2025, under the heading 'Risk Factors,' and other factors identified in Newmont's reports filed with the SEC, available on the SEC website or at www.newmont.com. Newmont does not undertake any obligation to release publicly revisions to any 'forward-looking statement,' including, without limitation, outlook, to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this press release, or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events, except as may be required under applicable securities laws. Investors should not assume that any lack of update to a previously issued 'forward-looking statement' constitutes a reaffirmation of that statement. Continued reliance on 'forward-looking statements' is at investors' own risk. Investors are also encouraged to review our Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2025, filed on July 24, 2025.
