Withdrawal rights for the Exchange Offers and the Consent Solicitations expired as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 28, 2019 (the "Withdrawal Deadline"). As of the Withdrawal Deadline, the following principal amounts of each series of the Existing Goldcorp Notes have been validly tendered and not validly withdrawn (and consents thereby validly delivered and not validly revoked):

Holders who validly tendered (and did not validly withdraw) their Existing Goldcorp Notes at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on March 28, 2019, will be eligible to receive $1,000 principal amount of corresponding New Newmont Notes and $1.00 in cash, or the Total Exchange Consideration, which includes an early tender premium of $30 principal amount of corresponding New Newmont Notes and $1.00 in cash (the "Early Tender Premium"), for each $1,000 principal amount of the Existing Goldcorp Notes accepted for exchange on the settlement date.
