(1) Holders whose Notes are purchased will also receive accrued
and unpaid interest thereon from the last interest payment date up
to, but not including, the settlement date.
The Tender Offer is being made pursuant to the terms and
conditions contained in the Offer to Purchase and Notice of
Guaranteed Delivery, copies of which may be obtained from D.F. King
& Co., Inc., the tender agent and information agent for the
Tender Offer, by emailing NGD@dfking.com or by calling (800)
207-2872 or, for banks and brokers, (212) 269-5550. Copies of the
Offer to Purchase and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery are also
available at the following web address: www.dfking.com/NGD.
The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00
p.m., New York City time,
on March 13, 2025 unless extended or
earlier terminated (such time and date, as the same may be
extended, the "Expiration Time"). Tendered Notes may be withdrawn
at any time before the Expiration Time. Holders of Notes must
validly tender and not validly withdraw their Notes (or comply with
the procedures for guaranteed delivery) before the Expiration Time
to be eligible to receive the consideration for their Notes.
Settlement for Notes tendered prior to the Expiration Time and
accepted for purchase will occur promptly after the Expiration
Time, which is expected to be March 18,
2025 assuming that the Tender Offer is not extended or
earlier terminated. The settlement date for any Notes tendered
pursuant to a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery is expected to also be
on March 18, 2025, subject to the
same assumption.
Additionally, New Gold intends, but is not obligated, to redeem
any Notes that are not tendered in the Tender Offer on or about
July 15, 2025, at the then-applicable
redemption price of 100.00% of the principal amount, plus accrued
and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date (the
"Redemption"). However, there can be no assurance that any Notes
will be redeemed.
The Tender Offer is conditioned upon the satisfaction of certain
conditions, including the completion of a contemporaneous notes
offering (the "Notes Offering") by New Gold on terms and conditions
(including, but not limited to, the amount of proceeds raised in
such Notes Offering) satisfactory to New Gold. The Tender Offer is
not conditioned upon any minimum amount of Notes being tendered.
The Tender Offer may be amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn.
New Gold intends to use the net proceeds of the Notes Offering to
fund the Tender Offer and Redemption and to pay related fees and
expenses.
New Gold has retained BofA Securities and BMO Capital Markets to
serve as Dealer Managers for the Tender Offer. Questions regarding
the terms of the Tender Offer may be directed to BofA Securities at
