On June 12, 2003, Newmont Yandal Operations Limited (the "Company") sent a response statement to the holders of its 8 7/8% Senior Notes due 2008 (the "Notes") announcing its position with respect to the tender offer (the "Bondco Offer") commenced by Yandal Bond Company Limited ("Bondco"), a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation, a Delaware corporation, to purchase all of the outstanding Notes of the Company at a price and otherwise upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in Bondco's Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, dated May 29, 2003. The response statement is filed as Exhibit 99.1.
The response statement states that the Company is expressing no opinion and remaining neutral toward the Bondco Offer. The Company is taking no position with respect to the Bondco Offer because (a) the Company has not participated in, and takes no responsibility for, the Bondco Offer and (b) each holder of the Notes and his, her or its financial advisor are in a better position to decide whether tendering or refraining from tendering would meet the investment objectives of such holder.
