Gold Fields announces early results of its cash tender offer for up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of 4.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2020

May 22, 2019 - Gold Fields Australasia Holding (BVI) Limited (the "Company") today announced the results to date of its previously announced offer to purchase for cash (the "Tender Offer") up to $250 million aggregate principal amount (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of the 4.875% Guaranteed Notes due 2020 issued by Gold Fields Orogen Holding (BVI) Limited (the "Notes"). The terms and conditions of the Tender Offer are set forth in the offer to purchase dated May 8, 2019 (the "Offer to Purchase").

As of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 21, 2019 (the "Early Tender Time"), $411,155,000 aggregate principal amount of the Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn pursuant to the Tender Offer. The table below identifies the principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn and the principal amount of Notes the Company has accepted for purchase:

___________________
(1) As of the commencement date of the Tender Offer.

(2) As of the Early Tender Time, as reported by D.F. King Limited, the information and tender agent for the Tender Offer.

Because the aggregate principal amount of the Notes tendered at or prior to the Early Tender Time was greater than the Maximum Tender Amount, the Tender Offer was oversubscribed and the Company has accepted Notes for purchase on a prorated basis (as described in the Offer to Purchase). Payment for any Notes so accepted will be made promptly on the Early Settlement Date, which is expected to occur on May 23, 2019. Notes not accepted for purchase will be credited on the Early Settlement Date to the account of the registered holder of such Notes with the relevant Clearing System (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase. Because the Tender Offer was oversubscribed as of the Early Tender Time, holders of Notes who validly tender Notes after the Early Tender Time will not have any of their Notes accepted for purchase.

Each holder who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw its Notes in the Tender Offer prior to the Early Tender Time will receive $1,020.00 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes (the "Total Consideration"), which includes an early tender payment of $30.00 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes so tendered. In addition to the Total Consideration, all Holders of Notes accepted for purchase will also receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes, rounded to the nearest $0.01 per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, from the last interest payment date up to, but not including, the Early Settlement Date.

In accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer, the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 21, 2019. As a result, tendered Notes may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by the Company).

Although the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2019, the Company does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Notes after the Early Tender Time because the aggregate principal amount of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Early Tender Time exceeded the Maximum Tender Amount.  

On May 15, 2019, Gold Fields Orogen Holding (BVI) Limited completed an offering of new notes (the "New Notes Offering") guaranteed by Gold Fields Limited and certain of its subsidiaries. A portion of the proceeds from the New Notes Offering is expected to fund the Tender Offer. Completion of the New Notes Offering satisfied the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).

Subject to applicable law and the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase, the Company may terminate the Tender Offer, waive any or all of the conditions of the Tender Offer prior to the Expiration Time, extend the Expiration Time or amend the terms of the Tender Offer.

The Company has retained Citigroup Global Markets Limited, J.P. Morgan Securities plc and Merrill Lynch International to act as the dealer managers for the Tender Offer and D.F. King Limited to act as information and tender agent for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding procedures for tendering Notes may be directed to D.F.
