On October 1, 2023, Newmont Corporation (“Newmont”) issued a press release announcing executive leadership appointments.
The following is a copy of the press release:
Newmont Announces Executive Leadership Appointments
Enhancing our Structure to Support an Expanded Portfolio with the Proposed Acquisition of Newcrest
DENVER--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Newmont Corporation (NYSE: NEM, TSX: NGT) today announced leadership appointments that will further strengthen its operating model to support safe and profitable operations of the expanded portfolio of assets and projects.
As previously announced, Natascha Viljoen will be joining Newmont as Chief Operating Officer (COO) on October 2, 2023. After an onboarding period, Natascha will assume accountability for the Australian, North American, and Papua New Guinea (PNG) Business Units on November 1, 2023. In addition to managing Newmont’s existing assets, she will oversee critical activities associated with incorporating Newcrest’s people and assets into Newmont, following the completion of the acquisition.
Rob Atkinson will continue to lead the Africa, Peru, and Latin America & Caribbean (formally South America) Business Units, as well as Global Projects, and support the transition of critical operational integration activities. Natascha will assume full accountability for all Business Units in early 2024, at which point Rob will transition into a strategic role supporting the business in another capacity.
As part of our efforts to establish a dedicated Business Unit in Papua New Guinea, Alwyn Pretorius will assume the role of Managing Director, Papua New Guinea, reporting to Natascha and based in Port Moresby. Alwyn previously led Newmont’s Africa and South America Business Units and has extensive operational and leadership experience with a strong ability to partner with community and key stakeholders, ensuring the safe and orderly integration of the Lihir operation and the Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture into Newmont’s portfolio.
Upon completion of the Newcrest transaction in the fourth quarter, the Australia region will have a significantly increased operational and strategic importance to Newmont’s global portfolio. To support this, Suzy Retallack will take on the responsibility of Executive Australia, in addition to her current role as Chief Safety and Sustainability Officer (CSSO) and will be based in Perth, Australia. Suzy will represent Newmont with key industry bodies in Australia, playing a role in policy development and advocacy, while prioritizing strategic activities that unify and enhance the existing strong reputation of Newmont in Australia.
Newmont 's President and Chief Executive Officer, Tom Palmer, said:
“These new appointments will allow Newmont to safely and efficiently make decisions to deliver the integration of Newcrest and ensure long-term world-class leadership across the larger business. Our future expanded portfolio will require strong and experienced leadership to support and care for our people, neighbors, stakeholders, and assets for years to come.”
On May 14, Newmont announced its definitive agreement to acquire Newcrest. The combination would create a world-class portfolio of assets with the highest concentration of Tier 1 operations, primarily in favorable, low-risk mining jurisdictions. Upon closing of the transaction, the combined Company would deliver a multi-decade production profile from 10 large, long-life, low cost Tier 1 operations, and increased annual copper production primarily from Australia and Canada. The combined business is anticipated to generate annual pre-tax synergies of $500 million, expected to be achieved within the first 24 months, while also targeting at least $2 billion in cash improvements through portfolio optimization in the first two years after closing.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This communication contains “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which are intended to be covered by the safe harbor created by such sections and other applicable laws and “forward-looking information” within the meaning of applicable Australian securities laws. Where a forward-looking statement expresses or implies an expectation or belief as to future events or results, such expectation or belief is expressed in good faith and believed to have a reasonable basis. However, such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors, which could cause actual results to differ materially from future results expressed, projected or implied by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements often address our expected future business and financial performance and financial condition; and often contain words such as “anticipate,” “intend,” “plan,” “will,” “would,” “estimate,” “expect,” “pending,” “proposed” or “potential.” Forward-looking statements may include, without limitation, statements relating to (i) the pending transaction to acquire the share capital of Newcrest, timing and closing of the pending transaction, including receipt of required approvals and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions; (ii) estimates of expected synergies; (iii) estimates of expected incremental cash flow generation and portfolio optimization opportunities; and (iv) other expectations regarding the combined business.
Estimates or expectations of future events or results are based upon certain assumptions, which may prove to be incorrect. Risks relating to forward looking statements in regard to the combined business and future performance may include, but are not limited to, gold and other metals price volatility, currency fluctuations, operational risks, increased production costs and variances in ore grade or recovery rates from those assumed in mining plans, political risk, community relations, conflict resolution, governmental regulation and judicial outcomes and other risks. In addition, material risks that could cause actual results to differ from forward-looking statements include: the inherent uncertainty associated with financial or other projections; the prompt and effective integration of Newmont’s and Newcrest’s businesses and the ability to achieve the anticipated synergies and value-creation contemplated by the pending transaction; the risk associated with Newmont’s and Newcrest’s ability to obtain the approval of the pending transaction by their shareholders required to consummate the pending transaction and the timing of the closing of the pending transaction, including the risk that the conditions to the pending transaction are not satisfied on a timely basis or at all and the failure of the pending transaction to close for any other reason; the risk that a consent or authorization that may be required for the pending transaction is not obtained or is obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; the outcome of any legal proceedings that may be instituted against the parties and others related to the Scheme Implementation Deed; unanticipated difficulties or expenditures relating to the pending transaction, the response of business partners and retention as a result of the announcement and pendency of the transaction; risks relating to the value of the scheme consideration to be issued in connection with the pending transaction; the anticipated size of the markets and continued demand for Newmont’s and Newcrest’s resources and the impact of competitive responses to the announcement of the transaction; and the diversion of management time on pending transaction-related issues. For a more detailed discussion of such risks and other factors, see Newmont’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023, as updated by the current report on Form 8-K, filed with the SEC on July 20, 2023, as well as Newmont’s other SEC filings, including the definitive proxy statement, filed with the SEC on September 5, 2023, available on the SEC website or www.newmont.com. Newcrest’s most recent annual financial report for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023 as well as Newcrest’s other filings made with Australian securities regulatory authorities are available on ASX (www.asx.com.au) or www.newcrest.com. Newmont and Newcrest do 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 communication, 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.

Synergies and value creation as used herein are management estimates provided for illustrative purposes and should not be considered a GAAP or non-GAAP financial measure. Synergies represent management’s combined estimate of pre-tax synergies, supply chain efficiencies and Full Potential improvements, as a result of the integration of Newmont’s and Newcrest’s businesses that have been monetized for the purposes of the estimation. Because synergies estimates reflect differences between certain actual costs incurred and management estimates of costs that would have been incurred in the absence of the integration of Newmont’s and Newcrest’s businesses, such estimates are necessarily imprecise and are based on numerous judgments and assumptions. Synergies are “forward-looking statements” subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors which could cause actual value creation to differ from expected or past synergies.
“Tier 1 assets” is defined as assets having (1) production of 500 thousand of gold equivalent ounces per year, (2) average All-in Sustaining Costs per ounce (as such term is defined by Newmont in its Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023, with respect to Newmont’s assets and as such term is defined by Newcrest in the “Newcrest Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” beginning on page 133 of the proxy statement with respect to Newcrest’s assets) in the lower half of the industry cost curve and (3) a mine life of over ten years.
