Gold Fields Responds To The Joint Offer For Yamana Gold Made By Pan American Silver And Agnico Eagle
Johannesburg, 4 November 2022: Gold Fields notes the announcement issued by Yamana Gold Inc. ("Yamana") today, that Yamana has received a binding proposal (the "Joint Offer") from Pan American Silver Corp. ("Pan American") and Agnico Eagle Mines Limited ("Agnico") to acquire all of the outstanding common shares of Yamana ("Yamana Shares"). The Yamana Board has determined that the Joint Offer constitutes a Yamana Superior Proposal.
Chris Griffith, Chief Executive Officer of Gold Fields, says: "The emergence of another offer indicates that other mining companies see the inherent value in Yamana's assets. As we have always said, the complementary nature of Yamana's assets in the Gold Fields family will create significant near-termand long-termvalue for all shareholders. As a result, it is clear that Gold Fields' offer remains strategically and financially superior to the Joint Offer with lower operational and execution risk and higher sustained returns, given Gold Fields enjoys the free cash flow, balance sheet profile and technical capabilities to unlock the full potential of Yamana's assets."
Gold Fields, in consultation with its financial and legal advisers, strongly believes that the terms of its agreement with Yamana for the acquisition of all of the Yamana Shares are demonstrably superior to the Joint Offer. Gold Fields will continue to work towards the completion of the Transaction for the benefit of the shareholders of both companies in accordance with the Arrangement Agreement.
The meeting of Yamana shareholders to approve the Transaction is scheduled for November 21, 2022, and for a copy of the Yamana circular in relation to that meeting please see Yamana's profile at www.sedar.comand its website at www.yamana.com.
