On April 18, 2019 (the Effective Date), Newmont completed the previously announced business combination with Goldcorp whereby Newmont acquired all of the issued and outstanding Goldcorp common shares (the Arrangement) and Goldcorp became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Newmont, pursuant to an arrangement agreement entered into by Newmont and Goldcorp on January 14, 2019, as amended on February 19, 2019 (the Arrangement Agreement). The Arrangement was completed by way of a court approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (Ontario).
At the effective time of the Arrangement, each common share of Goldcorp issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Arrangement was converted into the right to receive (i) 0.3280 of a share of common stock, par value $1.60 per share, of Newmont (each a Newmont Share) and (ii) US$0.02 in cash.
The aggregate cash consideration paid in the Arrangement to Goldcorps shareholders was approximately US$17.4 million. The total number of Newmont Shares issued to Goldcorps shareholders was approximately 285 million Newmont Shares.
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, each restricted share unit (a RSU) issued under Goldcorps 2008 restricted share unit plan, as amended, was exchanged for RSUs of Newmont at the effective time of the Arrangement and each option to purchase Goldcorp common shares issued under Goldcorps 2005 stock option plan, as amended, will be entitled to exercise such options for Newmont Shares. Upon vesting of such RSUs or exercise of such options, the holders thereof will be entitled to receive 0.3286 of a Newmont Share for each Goldcorp common share to which such holder was entitled.
Pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement: (i) each phantom restricted share unit (Phantom RSU) issued under Goldcorps 2013 phantom restricted share unit plan, as amended (the Goldcorp Phantom RSU Plan), outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, will remain outstanding following the Effective Date on its existing terms and holders thereof are expected to receive a cash payment calculated on the date of expiry of the restricted period on the basis of 0.3286 of a Newmont Share for each Phantom RSU in accordance with the terms of the Goldcorp Phantom RSU Plan, and (ii) each performance share unit (Goldcorp PSU) issued under Goldcorps 2010 performance share unit plan, as amended (the Goldcorp PSU Plan) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Date, will remain outstanding following the Effective Date on its existing terms and holders thereof are expected to receive a cash payment calculated on the day of expiry of the performance period on the basis of 0.3286 of a Newmont Share for each Goldcorp PSU, and assuming a performance multiplier of 100%, in accordance with the terms of the Goldcorp PSU Plan.
Additionally, on the Effective Date, Newmont repaid in full all obligations and liabilities owed by Goldcorp under Goldcorps revolving credit facility and term loan outstanding as of the Effective Date, representing approximately $1.3 billion.
Additionally, in connection with the Arrangement, Newmont offered to exchange (each, an Exchange Offer and, collectively, the Exchange Offers) any and all of the outstanding notes issued by Goldcorp (the Existing Goldcorp Notes) for (a) up to $2,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued by Newmont and (b) cash and the related consent solicitations (each, a Consent Solicitation and, collectively, the Consent Solicitations) to adopt certain proposed amendments to each of the indentures governing the Existing Goldcorp Notes.
