Newmont Announces Underwritten Sale of Common Stock
Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM) ( €œNewmont € or €œthe Company €) today announced that it has agreed to sell 29,000,000 shares of its common stock to Citigroup and J.P. Morgan, each of which will act as underwriters for the offering, for total gross proceeds of approximately $682 million. The Company intends to use the proceeds from this offering, supplemented with cash from the Company €™s balance sheet, to fund the acquisition from AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. of the Cripple Creek & Victor mine in Colorado (the €œCC&V Acquisition €). Until the CC&V Acquisition is completed, the Company intends to place the proceeds from this offering in short-term liquid investments.
The CC&V Acquisition represents a value-accretive opportunity to improve mine life, cost, and free cash flow in a favorable jurisdiction. The Company also remains committed to prudently strengthening its balance sheet and developing its most profitable development projects.
Subject to customary conditions, the offering is expected to close on June 15, 2015. The offering is being made pursuant to the Company €™s shelf registration statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
