On April 4, 2019, the Company entered into a $3,000 revolving credit facility (“New Credit Agreement”) with a syndicate of financial institutions that expires in April 2024. The New Credit Agreement provides for borrowings in U.S. dollars and contains a letter of credit sub-facility. Facility fees vary based on the credit ratings of the Company’s senior, uncollateralized, non-current debt. Borrowings under the facility bear interest at a market based rate plus a margin determined by our credit rating. The New Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s existing credit agreement dated as of May 20, 2011, as amended and restated as of May 25, 2017

(“Existing Credit Agreement”). Outstanding letters of credit under the Existing Credit Agreement of approximately $71 were transferred to the New Credit Agreement and remain outstanding. Debt covenants under the New Credit Agreement are substantially the same as the Existing Credit Agreement.

Upon closing of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, the Company paid the outstanding principal balances of Goldcorp’s term loan of $400 and Goldcorp’s revolving credit facility of $850. Additionally, the Company completed a like-for-like exchange for most of the outstanding notes issued by Goldcorp (“Existing Goldcorp notes”), with an aggregate principal amount of $2,000, for new notes issued by Newmont (the “New Newmont notes”) and nominal cash consideration. The New Newmont notes, issued April 22, 2019, and the Existing Goldcorp notes that were not tendered for exchange, consist of $472 and $78 of 3.625% notes due June 9, 2021, $810 and $190 of 3.70% notes due March 15, 2023 and $444 and $6 of 5.45% notes due June 9, 2044, respectively. Pursuant to registration rights issued with the New Newmont notes, the Company filed Form S-4 on June 28, 2019, which was declared effective on July 9, 2019 and the Company is currently in the process of exchanging the New Newmont notes for registered notes.

Prior to the closing of the Newmont Goldcorp transaction, Goldcorp held a series of letters of credit, several of which represented guarantees for reclamation obligations. Newmont Goldcorp will continue to hold these letters of credit. At June 30, 2019, the Company had letters of credit outstanding in the amount of $432 of which $336 represented guarantees for reclamation obligations. None of these letters of credit have been drawn on for reclamation obligations, as of June 30, 2019.
