MEDIA RELEASE
GOLD FIELDS CLOSES DEBUT US$1bn BOND
Johannesburg, 8 October 2010: Gold Fields Limited (Gold Fields)
(JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI), last week announced a 10-
year, US$1 billion bond offer to international investors. The
transaction was successfully completed yesterday.
This transaction was executed on 30 September 2010, where the
final order book was more than two times oversubscribed from high
quality accounts. The final coupon of 4.875% per annum is the
lowest US$ rate achieved by a South African corporate in the
international bond market this year.
Paul Schmidt, Chief Financial Officer, said: “The 10 year tenor of
this bond will fit nicely in with our long term quality assets without
increasing the group’s debt position. Gold Fields will have more
than $1.3 billion of committed bank facilities available after the net
proceeds of the bond have been used to refinance some bank
facilities and commercial paper notes in issue. The bond
significantly strengthens our liquidity and debt maturity profile.“
This press release does not constitute an offer of securities for sale
or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the securities mentioned in
this announcement (the “Securities”) in the United States. The
Securities have not been and will not be registered under the
United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), and have not and may not be offered or sold, directly or
indirectly, in or into the United States absent registration or an
applicable exemption from the registration requirements under the
Securities Act. There will be no public offer of Securities in the
United States.
