**LETTER FROM INDEPENDENT CHAIR OF THE**

**BOARD OF DIRECTORS**

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

I am pleased to present Newmont's Annual Proxy Statement and invite you to vote at our 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, which will be held on Tuesday, May 12, 2026, at 8:00 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time. This year, we are hosting a virtual Annual Meeting, providing an opportunity for all our stockholders to participate, irrespective of their geographic location. For more information about how to attend virtually and how to vote your shares, please see the Notice of Annual Meeting.

**2025 REFLECTIONS** 

2025 was a milestone year for Newmont, as we achieved our full-year guidance, improved our operational performance, and strengthened our financial position. We also made meaningful progress on our commitments to safety, cost optimization and returning capital to stockholders. As a result of our disciplined operational execution, the Company delivered record earnings and free cash flow, supported by favorable gold market conditions and significant operational achievements, all contributing to Newmont's stock price reaching an all-time high. Newmont returned approximately $1.1 billion to our stockholders through regular dividends, and completed the initial $3.0 billion share repurchase program announced in 2024, repurchasing $2.3 billion during 2025, and announced an additional $3.0 billion share repurchase program. Building on this momentum, in February 2026 we announced an enhanced return of capital framework and increased our quarterly dividend per share\*, anchored by a flexible and resilient balance sheet, and are entering 2026 with a clear focus on continuing to drive margin expansion and generate robust free cash flow from our unrivaled portfolio of world-class operations and projects.

In 2025, Newmont launched our Always Safe program, a new unified approach to health, safety, and well-being, and experienced zero fatalities after a challenging period. This was achieved by the vigilance and dedication of each of our valued team members around the globe. The Board and its Safety & Sustainability Committee believe that the success of our workforce is built on ensuring that everyone who walks through our gates goes home safely every day, and that safety is foundational to our long-term success. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I commend our employees and partners for our 2025 performance and reiterate our renewed commitment to safety moving into 2026.

The end of 2025 was marked by a planned and orderly transition of Newmont's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) as part of our long-term talent and succession process. Tom Palmer stepped down from his role as CEO and as a member of the Board after more than 12 years at Newmont. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I extend our sincere thanks to Tom for his dedication to the growth and advancement of Newmont's business into one of the strongest portfolios in the industry today. On January 1, 2026, we welcomed Natascha Viljoen to the Board of Directors as Newmont's new President and CEO. Over the prior two years as Newmont's COO and then as President and COO, Natascha has proven to be an expert operator and strategic and inspiring leader. With the support of the Board, Natascha will lead Newmont with a clear focus on unlocking value across our world-class portfolio with discipline, integrity, and humility.

**THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT** 

On behalf of the full Board of Directors, I sincerely thank you for the trust you have placed in the Board and for your continued support and investment in Newmont. It is a privilege to serve as your Independent Chair and to work closely with my fellow Directors to carry out our fiduciary responsibilities to you, our stockholders.

**YOUR VOTE AND FEEDBACK IS IMPORTANT**

We encourage you to vote promptly, even if you plan to attend the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and to submit questions in advance of the meeting. We would like to thank our stockholders and other stakeholders for the time they commit to engaging in productive dialogues with Newmont. We are grateful for the feedback shared with our leadership team and directly with members of the Board. The Board considers your input as an important factor in deliberations and decision-making. Please continue to share your opinions, suggestions, and concerns with us.

Very truly yours,

**GREGORY H. BOYCE** 

Independent Chair of the Board of Directors

### Our People
It is our strong-held belief that we maintain a competitive advantage through our people with strong engagement, leadership, and commitment to inclusion. Our values of safety, integrity, sustainability, inclusion, and responsibility are engrained in our culture, impact each action we take, and are the foundation of our Code of Conduct. That is why we strive to establish a culture where everyone willingly gives their best and goes home safely each day.

While Newmont achieved zero fatalities in 2025 as a result of the dedication and vigilance of every team member across our global operations, we tragically lost a colleague at our Tanami Expansion 2 project in Australia in early 2026. This loss reminds us that safety remains our unwavering priority. We will learn from this tragedy and continue to strengthen and improve our safety systems, along with the key safety tools that we use in the field. We've made important progress in understanding the factors that contributed to this tragedy and have taken decisive action to improve our safety culture with a clear focus on effectively controlling the risks that could lead to a fatality. Newmont's Always Safe program focuses on Integrated Systems, Robust Capabilities, and Empowered Behaviors, through a leadership commitment to care, clarity, and capability. We will also continue to transparently share the lessons we learned with our employees and our peers in the industry to help improve the safety performance of our sector.

After a transformational period for the Company, we stay connected to the experience of our workforce in many ways, including our employee pulse survey, conducted in December 2025. Other means of listening to our workforce include Safety Culture Reviews, Business Resource Groups, Town Hall Meetings, and encouraging regular leader and team member connections.

Our People Strategy, which has been endorsed and monitored by the Board, represents a multi-year journey, and focuses on ensuring an environment where every employee belongs, thrives, and is valued. Current priorities within the People strategy include the launch of a redesigned Performance Management System aimed to reinforce individual and organizational performance. Following the 2025 leadership development program which established a common language, set of tools, and clear expectations for leaders and team members, the focus this year is on embedding these practices through enhanced individual and team development for the leadership team. Through this work we continue to intentionally shape our desired culture through consistent systems, behaviors, and symbols.

About Newmont

We continue to enhance the People Experience through our ongoing work to ensure every employee knows what is expected of them, how they are performing, and the future they have at Newmont. Our focus is on reinforcing these expectations in alignment with our operating model to support consistent performance.

As a global employer, we recognize that an inclusive workforce is a better workforce for business and society. We are committed to advancing the UN Sustainable Development Goal to achieve equality. We also are fostering a more equitable workplace by eliminating inequities in systems and symbols of exclusion.

Our commitment to an equitable workplace includes conducting an annual global Pay Equity Analysis across our entire employee population, as well as a Living Wage study. Results are consistent with Newmont's commitment to providing a superior experience for our employees and ensuring equity throughout our employment practices.

At the end of 2025, we employed approximately 17,500 people and had approximately 26,600 people working as contractors. Additional information regarding our workforce and human capital management can be found in Newmont's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, and in the Company's Annual Sustainability Report accessible through www.newmont.com/sustainability. Our global People Policy is publicly available on our website and states our commitments to employees, which are supported by global standards on employment practices.

Newmont is an equal employment opportunity employer. Newmont reports employment data in U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission EEO-1 reports for our U.S-based workforce. However, the U.S. EEO-1 reports represent only a small portion of our global workforce. In our annual sustainability report, Newmont voluntarily reports global workforce and labor information in accordance with GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, including data on workforce demographics, compensation and equal remuneration, gender diversity, union representation, labor relations, employee turnover, hiring representation, and training and development.

### Our Approach to Sustainability
Newmont's sustainability strategy is a foundational element in achieving our purpose of creating value and improving lives through sustainable and responsible mining. It reflects our approach to managing sustainability risks and considerations across the business and is embedded in our overall business strategy.

We also recognize that sustainability means protecting the health, safety, and wellbeing of our workforce and host communities. We are committed to continuously advancing our methods and practices that enhance our governance, protect people, support host communities, and safeguard the environment and, in turn, earn the right to operate for the next 100 years.

Environmental and social practices in the mining industry have undergone a tremendous evolution over the past two decades. Our approach to sustainability management and transparency continues to evolve in response to our stakeholder's expectations.

In 2020 Newmont announced greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for 2030 - with an ultimate ambition of being carbon neutral by 2050. Investors are reminded that climate-related targets are aspirational management goals and are forward-looking statements, which remain subject to risks and uncertainties (see endnote in Annex A-2). Newmont issues updates on our climate change efforts and will continue to do so in 2026 within our Annual Sustainability Report, which will detail governance, strategy, climate resiliency and adaptation, as well as year on year performance.

About Newmont

![Graphic](nem-20260512xdef14a_a013.jpg)

### Board Oversight
We believe strong governance is fundamental for sustainable environmental and social performance. The Board's Safety and Sustainability (S&S) Committee actively engages with management, providing advice, counsel and recommendations, and oversight on matters relating to health, safety, security, sustainable development, environmental management and affairs, stakeholder relations, human rights, cultural heritage, and government relations.

Jane Nelson, who has a long and distinguished career advocating for sustainable business practices and is the Founding Director of the Corporate Responsibility Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School, became the S&S Committee Chair in 2019, and will continue to serve as its Chair in 2026.

### Disclosure Standards and Frameworks
Investors are encouraged to review our Annual Sustainability Report (ASR) to see how we work toward making a positive difference in the lives of employees, stakeholders, business partners, and host communities around the world.

We are committed to continuous improvement and reporting our performance in line with external commitments, initiatives, memberships, and disclosure standards and frameworks.

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) has served as our independent assurance provider for sustainability reporting since 2021, and is doing so again in 2025. PwC assures selected performance metrics in our ASR, Newmont's self-assessment of conformance with International Council on Mining and Metals Subject Matters 1-5 and Performance Expectations, and Newmont's self-assessment of its conformance with the World Gold Council Responsible Gold Mining Principles. PwC undertakes the assurance engagements in accordance with the internationally recognized assurance standards ISAE 3000 (Revised) and ISAE 3410.

### PROPOSAL ONE—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

### Voting for Directors
If you hold your Newmont stock through a broker, bank, or other financial institution, your Newmont stock will not be voted on your behalf on the Election of Directors unless you complete and return the Voting Instruction Form or follow the instructions provided to you to vote your stock via telephone or online. Because your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote on this proposal without instructions from you, if you do not instruct your broker, bank, or other financial institution how to vote, a "broker non-vote" will occur and your shares will not be represented in the Election of Directors vote at the Annual Meeting.

### Majority of Votes Cast Standard for the Election of Directors
Our By-Laws provide that in an uncontested election each Director will be elected by a vote of the majority of the votes cast, which means the number of votes cast "for" a Director's election must exceed 50% of the number of total votes cast with respect to that Director's election. Votes cast shall include votes to withhold authority but shall exclude abstentions. Votes will not be deemed cast if no authority or direction is given. As such, abstentions and broker non-votes are not counted as votes cast and therefore will have no effect on determining whether the required majority vote has been attained.

If a nominee for Director does not receive the vote of at least a majority of votes cast with respect to that nominee at the Annual Meeting, it is set forth in our By-Laws and is the policy of the Board of Directors that the Director must tender their resignation to the Board. In such a case, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee will make a recommendation to the Board whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation, or whether other action should be taken, considering all of the facts and circumstances. The Board of Directors shall publicly disclose (by a press release, a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission or other broadly disseminated means of communication) its decision regarding the tendered resignation and the rationale behind the decision within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results. The Director who has tendered their resignation will not take part in the deliberations. For additional information, our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our By-Laws are available on our website at http://www.newmont.com/about-us/governance-and-ethics/.

Proposal One — Election of Directors

### Independence of Directors
The Board affirmatively determines the independence of each Director. For each individual deemed to be independent, the Board has determined (a) that there is no relationship with the Company, or (b) the relationship is immaterial. The Board has considered the independence standards of the New York Stock Exchange and adopted the additional categorical independence standards described below.

The Board has determined the relationships that fall within the standards described in its independence standards are categorically immaterial. As such, provided that no law, rule, or regulation precludes a determination of independence, the following relationships are not considered to be material relationships with the Company for purposes of assessing independence: service as an officer, executive director, employee, or trustee or greater than five percent beneficial ownership in: (i) a supplier of goods or services to the Company if the annual sales to the Company are less than $1 million or two percent of the gross revenues or sales of the supplier, whichever is greater; (ii) a lender to the Company if the total amount of the Company's indebtedness is less than one percent of the total consolidated assets of the lender; (iii) a charitable organization if the amount of the Company's total annual charitable contributions to the organization is less than $1 million or two percent of that organization's total annual gross receipts (excluding any amounts received through the Company's employee matching program for charitable contributions), whichever is greater; or (iv) any relationship arising out of a transaction, or series of transactions, in which the amount involved is less than $120,000 in aggregate during the last three years. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is intended to identify certain (but not all) relationships which are not considered material relationships for purposes of assessing independence. Any relationships falling outside of those categories are not necessarily deemed material, but rather they will be specifically considered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board in connection with individual independence determinations.

In making its independence determinations, the Board specifically considered the circumstances described below.

Mr. Boyce serves as the Chair of the advisory board for the University of Arizona's Lowell Institute for Mineral Resources. Mr. Boyce is not an employee of the Lowell Institute, and the advisory board is not compensated for such service. The Company donated less than $1,000,000 to the Lowell Mineral Institute in the three most recent fiscal years. Mr. Boyce's appointment to the advisory board was not related to Newmont's donations or involvement. The Company's donation reflects its interest in promoting technological mining research and advancing the sustainable development of mineral resources. The relationship with the Lowell Institute meets the NYSE categorical independence standard, which provides that donations do not constitute payments to tax exempt organizations for purposes of this standard, provided that a company discloses any payments to any organization where its director serves as an executive officer if the total amount of the Company's annual charitable contributions to the organization is less than $1 million or two percent of that organization's total annual gross receipts, whichever is greater. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board have considered these circumstances and determined that the donation does not constitute a material relationship with the Company that would affect independence, and that no employment relationship or other financial, personal or other relationship exists that might influence a reasonable person's objectivity.

Ms. Layman serves as a non-executive director at Imdex Limited ("Imdex"), which, indirectly through its subsidiaries, provides certain mining and drilling technology solutions to the Company. Ms. Layman is not an employee of Imdex. The relationship with Imdex was considered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board and determined to meet the NYSE categorical independence standard, which provides that service as an employee of a supplier of goods or services is not considered to be a material relationship for purposes of assessing independence if the annual sales to the Company are less than $1 million or two percent of the gross revenues or sales of the supplier, whichever is greater. Given that the relationship arises only as a result of Ms. Layman's position as an independent director and that no employment relationship or other financial, personal or other relationship exists that might influence a reasonable person's

Proposal One — Election of Directors

objectivity, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board determined that the relationship was not material for independence purposes.

Mr. Brook serves as a non-executive director at Dyno Nobel Limited (formerly known as Incitec Pivot Limited), which, indirectly through its subsidiaries and joint ventures, engages in commercial transactions with the Company related to the supply of explosives. Mr. Brook is not an employee of Dyno Nobel Limited. The relationship was considered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board and determined to meet the categorical NYSE independence standard, which provides that service as an employee of a supplier of goods or services is not considered to be a material relationship for purposes of assessing independence if the annual sales to the Company are less than $1 million or two percent of the gross revenues or sales of the supplier, whichever is greater. Given that the relationship arises only as a result of Mr. Brook's position as an independent director and that no employment relationship or other financial, personal, or other relationship exists that might influence a reasonable person's objectivity, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board determined that the relationship was not material for independence purposes.

Ms. Nelson serves as a non-executive director at South32, which is a producer of bauxite, alumina, aluminum, copper, silver, lead, zinc, nickel, metallurgical coal, and manganese at certain operations in Australia, Southern Africa, and South America. Ms. Nelson is not an employee of South32. The relationship with South32 meets the NYSE categorical independence standard and was considered by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board. Certain mining leases at Newmont's Boddington operations are held by the Worsley Joint Venture, which is owned by South32, and subleased to the Company. Such lease arrangements predate Ms. Nelson's appointment to both the Newmont and South32 Board, and she receives no direct or indirect benefit from such arrangement. In 2025, Newmont made payments to the Worsley JV related to the waiver of certain rights within the cross-operational agreement that confers priority to the bauxite operations at the Boddington mine. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee has considered this relationship and determined that South32 has not received payments from the Company exceeding 2% of gross revenues of South32 in any of the last three fiscal years. To the extent that any transactions with or related to South32 are considered by the Board, Ms. Nelson will abstain from voting on the matter and recuse herself from any such session to ensure no conflict. Given that the relationship arises only as a result of Ms. Nelson's position as an independent director and that no employment relationship or other financial, personal, or other relationship exists that might influence a reasonable person's objectivity, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and the Board determined that the relationship was not material for independence purposes.

**Based on the foregoing analysis, the Board has determined that all current members of the Board, other than the President and Chief Executive Officer, are independent.**

The Board has determined that the following nominees for election pursuant to Proposal One are independent:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| **Gregory H. Boyce**  | **Emma FitzGerald**  | **Jane Nelson**  |
| **Bruce R. Brook**  | **Sally-Anne Layman** | **Julio M. Quintana**  |
| **Maura J. Clark**  | **José Manuel Madero**  | **David T. Seaton** |
| **Harry M. (Red) Conger** | **René Médori** |  |

Natascha Viljoen, our President and Chief Executive Officer, is the only current director who is not deemed independent in accordance with the NYSE Rules due to her role as Newmont's President and Chief Executive Officer. In addition, the Board determined that Philip Aiken AM and Susan N. Story, who served as directors until April 30, 2025, were independent during the time they served as directors.

### COMMITTEES OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND ATTENDANCE

### Attendance at Meetings
During 2025, the Board of Directors held 10 meetings and Committees of the Board held a total of 24 meetings. No member of the Board attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of the total number of meetings of the Board (held during the period for which he or she was a director) and the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board on which such director served (held during the period that such director served). Overall attendance by incumbent Director nominees at meetings was 98%. Attendance virtually by telephone, video conference, or other remote manner has been permitted at the discretion of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee. It is the policy and practice of Newmont that nominees for election at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders attend the meeting. All of the Board members at the time of the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders attended the meeting virtually and were available through the virtual meeting platform to respond to stockholder questions during the Annual Meeting.

### Executive Sessions of the Board
Each Board meeting typically includes the President and CEO meeting in executive session with fellow directors without other members of management or the executive leadership team present. Additionally, an executive session of our independent directors is held during each regularly scheduled Board meeting later in the meeting, without any members of Newmont's management present, including the CEO. These executive sessions promote an open dialogue and discussion of matters in a manner that is independent of management. Independent director executive sessions were held at each regularly scheduled meeting in 2025.

### Board Committees
The Board of Directors has, in addition to other committees, Audit, Leadership Development and Compensation, Corporate Governance and Nominating, and Safety and Sustainability Committees. All members of these four Committees are independent, as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and Newmont's Corporate Governance Guidelines.

The current members of these Committees and the number of meetings held in 2025 are shown on the following pages.

### Other Committees
In addition to the four core Board committees, Newmont's By-Laws also established the authority of the Executive-Finance Committee to support the Board in the execution of its duties and responsibilities. The Executive-Finance Committee meets on an as-needed basis and performs transaction, expense and project reviews and also provides administrative approvals between regular meetings of the Board. This Committee is chaired by the Chair of the Board, Mr. Boyce, and its members include the Chair of the Audit Committee, Mr. Brook, and the President and Chief Executive Officer, Ms. Viljoen.

Each of Mr. Brook, Ms. Clark, Mr. Médori, and Mr. Seaton is an independent Director.

---

### Director Orientation and Education
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee establishes and oversees director orientation and continuing education programs. Newmont's on-boarding program for new directors includes a discussion of a broad range of topics, including the background of the Company, the Board and its governance model, long-term strategy and business operations, financial statements, business plan and capital structure, capital allocation strategy, asset strategy, key industry and competitive factors, risk management systems, legal, business integrity and ethical responsibilities of the Board, human capital strategy, energy and decarbonization strategy, tailings management, cybersecurity strategy and programs, executive compensation strategy and programs, as well as other matters relevant to the ability of a new director to meet their responsibilities. The program also includes meetings with new directors and members of the senior management team. Our directors are expected to keep current on issues affecting Newmont and the mining industry and on developments with respect to their general responsibilities as directors. The Company will either provide or pay reasonable expenses for ongoing director education to enable them to perform their duties as directors. Ongoing director training includes presentations by senior management, its principal officers, and its internal and independent auditors, as well as outside advisors and experts. New and current directors are also encouraged to visit the Company's operating sites to further their understanding of the business in the future.

Corporate Governance

### Board Leadership and Independent Chair
Choosing the right leadership for the Board is an important responsibility. The Board of Directors selects the Chair of the Board in the manner and upon the criteria that it deems best for the Company at the time of selection, considering the current and future strategic and governance needs of the business. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee makes recommendations to the Board in connection with succession to the role of the Chair of the Board, and reviews director succession and leadership planning as a component of the Committee's regular agenda.

The Board believes that its current leadership structure, in which the roles of Chair and CEO are separated, best serves the Board's ability to carry out its roles and responsibilities on behalf of Newmont stockholders, including its oversight of management, and Newmont's overall corporate governance. The Board also believes that the current structure allows our CEO to focus on managing the business, while leveraging our independent Chair's experience to drive accountability at the Board level.

The independent non-executive Chair serves as liaison between the CEO and the other independent Directors, approves meeting agendas and schedules and notifies other members of the Board regarding any significant concerns of stockholders or interested parties of which she or he becomes aware. The Chair presides at all Board meetings, all independent Directors sessions scheduled at each regular Board meeting and stockholders' meetings and provides advice and counsel to the CEO.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee established a long-term Board leadership succession planning process and has a distinguished pool of exceptionally experienced directors with a wide array of experience, skills and qualifications.

Upon the recommendation of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee and with the full support of the Board, Gregory Boyce has led our Board since 2021 as Independent (Non-Executive) Chair and is expected to continue to serve in the role following the 2026 Annual Meeting. Our Senior Independent Director serves as liaison between the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, the CEO and the other Independent Directors to support the Chair appointment and succession planning, as well as annual Chair compensation reviews, Chair evaluations and other relevant corporate governance matters. Bruce R. Brook has served in the role of Senior Independent Director since April 2021 and is expected to continue to hold the role following the 2026 Annual Meeting.

### Board Oversight of Risk Management
While our management is responsible for the day-to-day management of risk, our Board and its Committees are actively engaged in overseeing our strategy and take an active role in key risk oversight. The Board oversees the strategic direction of the Company, and in doing so considers the potential opportunities and risks of our business, and monitors the development and management of risks that impact our strategic goals. The Board and its Committees receive regular reports and updates from management regarding the Company's top risks. In its risk oversight role, the Board reviews with appropriate members of management whether the risk management processes designed and implemented by management are adequate in identifying, assessing, managing, and mitigating material risks facing the Company. The Board believes that full and open communication between senior management and the directors is essential to effective risk oversight. For example, our independent Chair and our CEO meet regularly to discuss a variety of matters, including business strategies, opportunities, key challenges and risks facing the Company, as well as management's risk mitigation strategies. Our Senior Independent Director and Audit Chair also meet regularly with senior management responsible for risk management systems.

2026 Proxy Statement 33

Corporate Governance

The Board has tasked designated Committees of the Board with oversight of certain categories of risk management, and the Committees report to the Board regularly on these matters. Examples are set forth below:

![Graphic](nem-20260512xdef14a_a133.jpg)

As noted in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, one of the primary responsibilities of the Board is to review the process in place to identify major risks facing the Company and assess and review options for their mitigation in order to create long-term value for stockholders and other stakeholders. The Board has the opportunity to address key risks at each Board meeting in connection with its regular review of strategy, significant operational, financial, and business developments. The Board reviews risks arising out of specific significant transactions when these transactions are presented to the Board for review or approval. Significant operational risks that relate to ongoing business operations are the subject of regularly scheduled reports to either the full Board or one of its committees. Each of the Board's committees address risks that fall within the committee's areas of responsibility as outlined above. The operational risks periodically reviewed by committees are also reviewed by the entire Board when a committee or the Board determines this is appropriate. The independent Chair promotes effective communication and consideration of matters presenting significant risks to the Company by developing the Board's meeting agendas, advising committee chairs, chairing meetings of the Board and facilitating communications between independent Directors and the Chief Executive Officer including in executive sessions.

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Corporate Governance

Oversight of the Company's long-term strategy and business plan is a key priority for the Board of Directors. The Board holds an annual multi-day session for a strategy deep-dive. The Directors work closely with the Executive Leadership Team to review and provide oversight of the Company's strategy and the potential risks and opportunities of the business. In addition, the CEO and Executive Leadership Team provide updates on the Company's strategy, industry landscape, and key issues during at least each quarterly Board meeting. The Chair also allocates significant time on the meeting agenda for discussion and reflections. This is done to ensure that strategic oversight remains a dynamic and ongoing collaboration, which drives accountability and provides management with insights from our Board on a regular basis as they execute on the Company's strategy.

The Board of Directors relies upon the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and Executive Leadership Team to oversee the risk management activities within the Company, each of whom may provide reports directly to the Board of Directors and certain Board Committees, as appropriate. For example, the primary responsibility for financial and other reporting, internal controls, compliance with laws and regulations, and ethics rests with the management, subject to review and oversight by the Audit Committee and the Board. The Company has a Risk Management System ("RMS"), which utilizes a global cross-functional team approach supported by robust functional risk workshops. Our Executive Leadership Team receives RMS reports regularly and has also engaged in a top-down enterprise risk review and analysis. The Chief Financial Officer has direct accountability for RMS and reviews the RMS framework with the Audit Committee and RMS key risk reporting with the Board. RMS reporting objectives and cadence include, but are not limited to, reporting on the risk management process and risk findings to the Disclosure Committee on a quarterly basis, the Executive Leadership Team, the Audit Committee and the Safety and Sustainability Committee regularly, and to the full Board of Directors on at least an annual basis.

As a component of long-term strategy, the Board also oversees safety and sustainability strategy and holds management accountable for performance, including by assessing how sustainability is integrated into the business by management at all levels. The Safety and Sustainability Committee assists the Board in oversight of and consideration of risks relating to sustainability matters and has authority to investigate and review key sustainability matters and performance. As part of this oversight the Safety and Sustainability Committee reviews Newmont's Energy and Climate Strategy, the Annual Sustainability Report and Climate Report each year. Other Board committees maintain oversight of other sustainability matters such as corporate governance at Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee, compensation measures related to sustainability at Leadership Development and Compensation Committee, and anti-corruption, ethical conduct, taxes and royalties and cybersecurity at Audit Committee, among other matters.

The Board and Audit Committee receive reports on information technology ("IT") risks, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, third party, and data security risks. Our Audit Committee, comprised of independent directors from our Board, oversees the responsibilities relating to the operational (including IT risks and data security) risk affairs of the Company. Our Audit Committee is informed of such risks through quarterly reports from our cybersecurity leadership and it reports any material findings and recommendations to the full Board for consideration. Day-to-day management of data security is currently the responsibility of our Group Head, Digital and Head, Digital Security & Risk, who work in close collaboration with our Chief Technical Officer. Management, with support from an independent third party, regularly assesses the Company's cybersecurity risks, including an annual maturity assessment aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) cybersecurity framework, to guide mitigation and remediation efforts, and inform strategic risk priorities. Management also conducts regular information security training and phishing tests with the workforce. Refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025, under Part 1, Item 1C. Cybersecurity for additional information on the Company's approach to cybersecurity risk management, strategy, and governance.

| **5**  | &nbsp;&nbsp;**SELECTDIRECTOR(S)**  |  |  |

---

The Board of Directors has determined that Directors should possess the following minimum qualifications: (a) the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, and values; (b) commitment to representing the long-term interest of stockholders; (c) broad experience at the policy-making level in business, government, education, technology, or public interest; and (d) sufficient time to effectively fulfill duties as a Board member. The Board recommends qualified individuals who provide the mix of director skills, characteristics, experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives appropriate for the Company.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee carefully evaluates the expertise and needs of the Board to determine the Board's membership and size. This evaluation includes the selection of candidates to serve on the Board to ensure the range of skills, qualifications, and experiences needed is considered, as well as the Company's strategy and oversight priorities.

As the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee identifies the need to add new Board members, the Chair coordinates the search for qualified candidates with input from management and other Board members. Additionally, an independent third-party search firm assists the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee with its recruitment efforts. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee screens and recommends candidates for nomination by the full Board.

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee would consider candidates submitted by stockholders on the same basis as any other candidate. Any stockholder proposing a nomination should submit such candidate's name, along with curriculum vitae or other summary of qualifications, experience and skills to the Corporate Secretary, Newmont Corporation, 6900 E. Layton Avenue, Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237 USA (attention: Logan Hennessey).

Corporate Governance

### Board Size
Newmont's By-Laws provide that the size of the Board may range from eight (8) to seventeen (17) members. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee considers strategic oversight priorities of Newmont's current business and operations, as well as investor feedback on Board size and governance. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee aims for the right balance between ensuring diverse and broad expertise, perspectives and skills and promoting robust dialogue, accountability and efficiency. Based upon an assessment in early 2025, which included feedback from the other members of the Board, the Board believes that a size of ten (10) to twelve (12) directors will best serve the needs of the Company in the current environment and strikes the appropriate balance between promoting robust dialogue and accountability and ensuring diverse expertise, perspectives, and skills.

### Retirement, Tenure and Board Refreshment
The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board regularly considers director succession planning and the long-term make-up of our Board, including how the members on our Board will change over time.

The Company's retirement policy for non-employee Directors in the Corporate Governance Guidelines (the "Guidelines") provides that no director will stand for election or re-election if such director: (i) will have reached the age of 75 as of the date of the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders; or (ii) will have reached 15 years of service on the Board as of the date of the upcoming Annual Meeting of Stockholders, whichever is earlier; provided, however, that in its sole discretion, the Board, upon recommendation of the Governance Committee, may waive the age and tenure limitations for any director if the Board determines that a director possesses the appropriate skills and characteristics required of Board members in the context of the current make-up of the Board and any perceived needs and that it is in the best interests of the Company and its Stockholders to do so. As of the Record Date, the average age of our Board of Directors nominees was approximately 64, with ages ranging from 52 to 71. The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee aims to strike an appropriate balance between the deep expertise and knowledge that comes from longer-term service and the new experiences and perspectives that can be provided with additions to the Board.

As of the Record Date, the average tenure of our Board of Directors nominees was approximately 6 years. This average tenure is due in part to the more recent appointments of Mr. Conger in 2024, Mr. Seaton in 2025 and Ms. Viljoen in 2026. The retirement policy of Newmont's Board reflects the commitment of our Directors to Board refreshment and to seek balance of an appropriate mix of long-serving and newer directors in the boardroom. Tenure is one factor considered by the Board.

### Proxy Access
In response to stockholder feedback, the Board amended and restated the Company's By-Laws to implement a market-standard "proxy access" by-law:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;![Graphic](nem-20260512xdef14a_a134.jpg) | ![Graphic](nem-20260512xdef14a_a135.jpg) | ![Graphic](nem-20260512xdef14a_a136.jpg) |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;A stockholder or a group of up to 20 stockholders owning 3% or more of the Company's outstanding common stock continuously for at least three (3) years | The stockholder or group may nominate and include in the Company's proxy materials directors constituting up to the greater of 2 members or 20% of the Board | Provided that the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in the By-Laws |

### Stakeholder Outreach
We view our relationship with stockholders as a critical corporate governance practice. Regular engagement with our stockholders helps us to understand investor expectations for performance and reporting and helps to shape corporate governance and executive compensation policies. In relation to the 2026 Proxy Statement, that outreach began before the issuance of this Proxy Statement. In addition to members of management, our independent Chair, Committee Chairs and other directors are also available to engage with stockholders, either directly or as part of our structured stockholder engagement program.

During 2025, we contacted all institutional stockholders who owned approximately 0.25% of our aggregate outstanding shares of common stock, representing approximately 55% of outstanding shares of our common stock. We engaged with all stockholders who responded to our invitation to discuss corporate governance, climate change initiatives, executive compensation, and other important business and sustainability matters. These discussions provide us with valuable feedback on key issues and specific elements of our programs. Stockholder feedback is reported to and discussed with our Board and relevant committees. In recent years, stockholder feedback has supported a range of actions, including setting specific, objective long-term sustainability targets, enhancing sustainability disclosures for transparency, enhancing our compensation programs governance and design. Additionally, stockholder feedback around water stewardship, social, and environmental responsibility, and other critical topics was received through inbound stockholder meeting requests, demonstrating open channels of feedback between stockholders and the Company. We believe our proactive engagement approach has resulted in constructive feedback and input from stockholders, and we intend to continue these efforts. See also "Stockholder Engagement and Say-on-Pay" in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" section.

We believe that aligning our business goals with the long-term interests of our stakeholders and the broader society is essential to our future success. In addition to our stockholders, we also engage regularly with relevant stakeholders, whom we consider to be any person or organization potentially impacted by our activities or influential to our success, which allows us to gain a greater understanding of their needs, interests and perspectives while, at the same time, encouraging shared decision making to promote mutually beneficial outcomes. Newmont also engages with a variety of organizations at a global, regional, national, and local level to adhere to high standards of governance, social and environmental policies and performance. These memberships and voluntary commitments reflect our values, support our approach to working collaboratively on best practices across several key matters and allow external stakeholders to hold us accountable. Our participation in industry initiatives allows us to inform and influence global standards and practices, as well as gain insight into emerging expectations and issues. More information regarding our broader stakeholder engagement can be found in the Company's Annual Sustainability Report accessible through www.newmont.com/sustainability. Our Sustainability and Stakeholder Engagement Policy, which states our commitment to transparently communicating with stakeholders, is available on our Sustainability website.

#### Communications with Stockholders or Interested Parties
The Company values your feedback. Any stockholder or interested party who desires to contact the Company's Chair, the non-management Directors as a group or the other members of the Board of Directors may do so by emailing the Corporate Secretary at CorporateSecretary@Newmont.com or writing to the Corporate Secretary (attention: Logan Hennessey), Newmont Corporation, at 6900 E. Layton Avenue, Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237 USA. Any such communication should state the number of shares owned, if applicable. The Secretary will forward to the Chair any such communication addressed to the Chair, the non-employee Directors as a group or to the Board of Directors generally, and will forward such communication to other Board members, as appropriate, provided that such communication addresses a legitimate business issue. Any communication relating to accounting, auditing, or fraud will be forwarded to the Chair of the Audit Committee. For any questions on the Company's assets, strategy, financial results, or guidance, please contact the Investor Relations team at Investor.Relations@Newmont.com or write to Investor Relations, Newmont Corporation, at 6900 E. Layton Avenue, Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237 USA.

### Code of Conduct
Newmont's Code of Conduct (the "Code") publicly sets out the high standards of conduct expected of all of our Directors, employees and officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Accounting Officer and other persons performing financial reporting functions, as well as by our partners, vendors, and contractors when they are working with us or on our behalf. The Code, which has been adopted by Newmont's Board of Directors, sets out Newmont's basic standards for ethical and legal behavior. The Code is available on our website at http://www.newmont.com/about-us/governance-and-ethics/. The Code is designed to deter wrongdoing and promote: (a) honest and ethical conduct; (b) full, fair, accurate, timely, and understandable disclosures; (c) compliance with laws, rules, and regulations; (d) prompt internal reporting of Code violations; and (e) accountability for adherence to the Code. Newmont will post on its website a description of any amendment to the Code and any waiver, including any implicit waiver, by Newmont of a provision of the Code to a Director or Executive Officer (including senior financial officers), the name of the person to whom the waiver was granted and the date of the waiver within four business days of such waiver or amendment. We granted no waivers under the Code in 2025.

### Related Person Transactions
The Board has adopted written policies and procedures for approving related person transactions. Any transaction with a related person, other than transactions available to all employees generally or involving aggregate amounts of less than $120,000, must be approved or ratified by the Audit Committee, the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee for compensation matters, or disinterested members of the Board. The policies apply to all Executive Officers, Directors, and their family members and entities in which any of these individuals has a substantial ownership interest or control.

### Independent Compensation Consultant
For executive compensation consulting services in 2025, the Board of Directors engaged Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. ("FW Cook"). The Board uses a best practice approach of engaging separate advisors for Board compensation and management compensation to minimize the potential for conflicts of interest. For a description of the executive compensation consulting services provided by FW Cook to the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee ("LDCC") of the Board of Directors, see the "Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant." The Board of Directors and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee also engaged Willis Towers Watson PLC ("WTW") to assist in the evaluation of Independent Director compensation in 2025. See "Director Compensation."

### Executive Compensation Risk Assessment
We believe Newmont's compensation programs for the Chief Executive Officer and other Executive Officers are carefully structured to balance risk and reward, while mitigating the incentive for excessive risk-taking. In addition to sound plan design and regular oversight of compensation policies by the LDCC, a third-party organization, WTW, conducted a risk assessment of the program in 2025 at the request of the LDCC. The LDCC concluded that Newmont's executive compensation programs align with market standards and governance best practices, and do not encourage excessive risk-taking. We believe the programs strike an appropriate balance between fixed compensation and "at-risk" pay. Furthermore, the LDCC exercises strong oversight by reviewing and approving incentive program goals and payouts, with discretion to adjust for unusual or extraordinary circumstances. Based on SEC guidelines evaluating employee compensation risk, no concerns or adverse risks were identified that would require disclosure in this Proxy Statement.

### Leadership Development and Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
No members of the LDCC who served during the last fiscal year (whose names appear under "Report of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation") is, or has ever been, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. In addition, during the last fiscal year, no Executive Officer of the Company served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of any other entity that has one or more Executive Officers serving on our Board or our LDCC.

### Director Compensation
The following table shows the compensation program applied to each of our non-employee Directors during 2025:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| Annual Retainer | $135,000 for each Director  |
|  | $30,000 for the Chair of the Audit Committee  |

### Director Compensation Program
The Board of Directors compensation program is reviewed by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board regularly to ensure the program aligns with market practice and supports recruitment and retention efforts. The program is compared to compensation for the companies in our executive Compensation Peer Group (see "Compensation Peer Group" for review of peer companies) to ensure alignment with companies of a similar business scope and size. A secondary review is completed assessing practices in comparison to our International Mining Peer Group (comprised of Agnico Eagle Mines Limited, Anglo American plc, AngloGold Ashanti plc, Barrick Gold Corporation, BHP Group Limited, Freeport-McMoRan Inc., Kinross Gold Corporation, and Rio Tinto Group).

Corporate Governance

In February 2025, the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (the "Committee") engaged in its annual review of the non-executive director compensation program, supported by analysis of pay levels for the Board as a whole, typical director, leadership directors (a director with a committee leadership role), and Independent Chair prepared by the Company's third-party consultant, WTW. The Committee determined that no changes to the program were recommended for 2025. Non-Executive Chair compensation, including the retainers and stock award, were assessed to be aligned with the median of our Compensation Peer Group, and remain well below the median of our International Mining Peer Group. Compensation for all other Director positions also remained in alignment with the median of our Compensation Peer Group.

In February 2026, the Committee again performed its annual review of the non-executive director compensation program, supported by analysis of pay levels prepared by the Company's third-party consultant, WTW. To ensure that director pay levels remain competitive and in alignment with the Compensation Peer Group, the Committee determined to recommend a 5% increase to director compensation and Non-Executive Chair compensation with the increase to be applied entirely to the annual equity award in order to continue to align director interests with those of our stockholders. This results in increasing the equity retainer by $15,750 for Board Members (increasing the $180,000 equity retainer to $195,750) and by $24,500 for the Board Chair (to $204,500) for 2026.

### Director Share Ownership Guidelines
All Directors are expected to have a significant long-term financial interest in the Company. To align the interests of our Directors with the Company's stockholders, each Director must beneficially own shares of common stock (or hold director stock units) of the Company having a market value of five times the annual cash retainer payable under the Company's Director compensation program. Newly elected Directors are expected to meet this requirement within five (5) years of first becoming a Director of the Company.

Taking into consideration the volatility of the stock market, the impact of gold, copper, and other commodity price fluctuations on the Company's share price and the long-term nature of the ownership guidelines, it would be inappropriate to require Directors to increase their holdings because of a decrease in the price of the Company's shares. As such, once the guideline is achieved, future fluctuations in price are not deemed to affect compliance. Specifically, if a decline in the Company's share price causes a director's failure to meet the guideline, the Director will not be required to purchase additional shares, but such Director will refrain from selling any shares until the threshold has again been achieved. As of December 31, 2025, all Directors either met the share ownership guidelines or fell within the exceptions to the guidelines.

### PROPOSAL TWO — ADVISORY VOTE ON THE APPROVAL OF EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
We are asking stockholders to approve on an advisory basis, the compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," the compensation tables, and related narrative discussion included in this Proxy Statement. This Proposal Two, commonly known as a "Say-on-Pay" proposal, gives stockholders the opportunity to approve, reject, or abstain from voting with respect to our fiscal 2025 executive compensation programs and policies, and the compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal allows our stockholders to express their opinions regarding the decisions of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (the "LDCC") on the prior year's annual compensation to the Named Executive Officers. Because your vote on this proposal is advisory, it will not be binding on Newmont, the Board, or the LDCC. However, your advisory vote will serve as an additional tool to guide the Board and the LDCC in continuing to improve the alignment of the Company's executive compensation programs with the interests of the Company and its stockholders and is consistent with our commitment to high standards of corporate governance. The Board has adopted a policy of providing for annual advisory votes from stockholders on executive compensation, in line with the feedback of stockholders on the Say-on-Pay frequency vote last conducted at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

This item is being presented at the 2026 annual meeting pursuant to Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the next advisory say-on-pay vote will occur at the 2027 annual meeting.

**RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's Named Executive Officers, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the "Compensation Discussion and Analysis," compensation tables and related narrative discussion in this 2026 Proxy Statement, is hereby APPROVED.**

Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy.

### Executive Pay Aligned to Company Performance
The Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (LDCC) designs and evaluates Newmont's executive compensation programs to align pay outcomes with Company performance and long-term stockholder value creation. As part of this assessment, the LDCC evaluates Target Pay relative to Realized Pay.

Target Pay reflects the compensation opportunity established at the beginning of each year, based on an annual compensation review conducted by FW Cook, the Committee's independent compensation consultant, and approved by the Board for the CEO (as reflected in the "NEO Total Target Direct Compensation" table). Realized Pay reflects compensation delivered for a given program year and consists of: (i) base salary paid during the program year, (ii) the annual incentive earned for the program year, and (iii) the value of long-term incentive awards that vest during the program year. <sup>(1)</sup>

Over the four-year period from 2022 through 2025, the CEO's Realized Pay aligned meaningfully with Newmont's total shareholder return (TSR).

### Leadership Changes Support Business Continuity
In fiscal year 2025, the Company executed its planned and orderly leadership transition to support business continuity and position the Company for continued operational and financial excellence and long-term stockholder value creation.

On May 1, 2025, Ms. Natascha Viljoen was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company

On September 29, 2025, Newmont announced that Mr. Tom Palmer would retire as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors, effective December 31, 2025, and that Ms. Viljoen would succeed Mr. Palmer as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective January 1, 2026; Ms. Viljoen also joined the Board of Directors as a non-independent director effective the same date

To support a seamless and well-managed transition, Mr. Palmer will serve as a strategic advisor to Ms. Viljoen and the Executive Leadership Team through March 31, 2026

In connection with these transitions, the Committee took the following compensation actions.

In addition to the transitions described above, on July 11, 2025, Ms. Karyn Ovelmen resigned from her role as Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Following her resignation, Mr. Peter Wexler was appointed Interim CFO. To support a smooth transition of responsibilities and maintain business continuity, the Committee took the following actions:

Ms. Ovelmen entered into a separation agreement to assist with the transition of CFO responsibilities. Pursuant to the separation agreement, Ms. Ovelmen received six months of her base salary and six months of medical insurance coverage following her separation from the Company. Ms. Ovelmen received no additional payments.

Mr. Wexler received a one-time RSU grant with a value of $1,000,000 vesting 1/3 per year over a 3-year period in recognition of his additional responsibilities as Interim CFO. The award partially addressed the peer group market pay differential between the Chief Legal Officer and Chief Financial Officer roles, based on the expectation that Mr. Wexler would serve concurrently as CLO and Interim CFO for approximately 12 months.

### Newmont's Pay Philosophy
Newmont's shared purpose and values form the bedrock of our Company, and our compensation programs are crafted to mirror and bolster these fundamental attributes. Our compensation strategy is comprehensive and takes into account our diverse group of stakeholders. The executive compensation program encompasses a well-rounded mix of financial, growth, and sustainability metrics, both in absolute terms and relative to benchmarks. This design is intended to:

Advance business objectives by rewarding progress against what matters most – our people, performance, and endowment, through programs that are scalable and sustainable

Reinforce our people strategy by attracting and retaining top talent, with a strong focus on development and succession depth

Maintain strong cost discipline by balancing competitiveness with long-term affordability, sustainability, and financial stewardship

Ensure transparency, fairness, and equity aligned to our values of Safety, Integrity, Sustainability, Inclusion, and Responsibility

Incorporate external perspectives from investors and the global markets in which we operate, recognizing long business cycles and macroeconomic and commodity volatility

Align with market practices using a rigorous benchmarking methodology

Executive Compensation Governance

### Role of Leadership

### Role of the Leadership Development and Compensation Committee (LDCC)
The Committee adopts an integrated approach to talent management and executive compensation, promoting ongoing dialogue to foster better decision-making and support the Company's long-term leadership goals. In addition to its traditional role of overseeing executive compensation at Newmont, the Committee regularly reviews and evaluates the Company's executive development, talent management, culture, and global inclusion strategies and performance.

The LDCC is responsible for:

**Executive Compensation Oversight:** Reviewing and evaluating Newmont's executive compensation programs to ensure alignment with the Company's purpose, stockholder interests, competitiveness of compensation and benefits offerings, and alignment with peer and market practices

**Leadership Development:** Reviewing senior leadership development, performance, and talent management systems

**Company Culture and Inclusion Strategy:** Reviewing and assessing Company culture and global inclusion strategies to ensure alignment with organizational values and long-term goals

**Compensation Philosophy:** Establishing Newmont's compensation philosophy and objectives

Executive Compensation Governance

When making executive compensation decisions, the Committee evaluates a variety of factors to ensure that pay is aligned with the Company's objectives, stockholder interests, and industry practices. The primary factors include:

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;FACTORS  | PURPOSE / KEY CONSIDERATIONS  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Peer Benchmarks and Market Insight**  | Ensures the reasonableness of pay relative to peers and market practices, maintaining competitiveness in attracting and retaining talent |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Performance and Leadership Potential**  | Considers the context for each executive's compensation, including experience, skills, scope of responsibility, individual performance, and succession planning |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Available Compensation Components**  | Reviews the purpose of each pay component (e.g., base salary, bonuses, stock-based awards) and the total sum of all elements |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Pay Mix**  | Ensures a significant portion of executive pay is "at risk" to align compensation with stockholder interests, peer practices, and the Company's compensation philosophy |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Pay Equity and Fairness**  | Evaluates the appropriateness of relative compensation among executives, promoting fairness and internal equity |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Executive Compensation Alignment to Company Performance**  | Ensures pay is aligned with stockholder interests and the Company's performance, reinforcing the connection between executive compensation and the achievement of business goals |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;**Consideration of Risk**  | Designs compensation programs to mitigate the risk of incentivizing excessive risk-taking, promoting long-term sustainable success |

---

### Role of the Independent Board Members
The independent Board members are responsible for:

Assessing the overall performance of the CEO against established goals and objectives

Overseeing succession planning for the CEO

Approving annual compensation actions for the CEO

The Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is responsible for reviewing and determining director compensation, as well as succession planning for the Executive Leadership Team.

Refer to the "Corporate Governance" summary for additional information.

### Role of the Independent Compensation Consultant
The Committee recognizes the importance of objective expertise and counsel provided by an independent compensation consultant. For 2025, the Committee retained FW Cook as its independent compensation consultant. FW Cook reports directly to the Committee, which retains sole authority to retain, terminate, and seek advice from FW Cook, at the Company's expense.

The responsibilities of the independent consultant, FW Cook, include:

Advising the LDCC on trends, best practices, and issues in executive compensation

Assessing Newmont's executive compensation philosophy, objectives, and components

Developing and maintaining a peer group of companies for comparison purposes

Advising the LDCC regarding considerations and market practices for annual incentive program and long-term equity program design

Reviewing materials provided to the LDCC for discussion and approval

Participating in LDCC meetings and providing consultation to the Chair of the LDCC regarding topics reviewed during the LDCC meetings

Reviewing compensation levels and pay mix for each Section 16 Executive Officer

2026 Proxy Statement 53

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Executive Compensation Governance

Assessing and recommending changes for Section 16 Executive Officers' base salaries, as well as their annual incentive targets and long-term equity compensation levels

While the Committee considers the review and recommendations provided by FW Cook when making executive compensation decisions, the final decisions are made independently by the Committee, including recommendations to the Board regarding CEO compensation.

For 2025, the Committee assessed the independence of FW Cook pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules. This assessment considered factors such as the nature and scope of services provided, the fees paid for those services relative to the firm's total revenues, and the absence of additional services performed for management. In 2025, FW Cook's aggregate fees for compensation consulting services for the LDCC were $233,181. Additionally, FW Cook has safeguards and procedures in place to maintain independence in its executive compensation consulting practice. Based on its consideration of the foregoing and other relevant factors pursuant to SEC and NYSE rules, the Committee concluded that FW Cook was independent and there were no conflicts of interest.

### Role of Company Management
To design and develop the executive compensation programs, the Committee seeks input from several members of Company management, including the Chief People Officer, the Group Head, Total Rewards, the Group Head, Talent, the Head, Executive Compensation, as well as relevant members of Newmont's finance and legal teams. These individuals assist in the preparation of analyses, including financial data, peer comparisons, and other materials that help inform the Committee's decisions. They also play a key role in supporting the implementation of the Committee's decisions.

The CEO and select members of management are responsible for:

Recommending the total target direct compensation and pay mix for each Section 16 Executive Officer, excluding the CEO

Evaluating and summarizing the annual performance for each Section 16 Executive Officer, excluding the CEO

Reviewing and recommending the annual compensation actions for each Section 16 Executive Officer, excluding the CEO

The CEO and select members of management regularly provide updates to the LDCC, including:

Achievement relative to corporate goals

Performance against individual goals for each Section 16 Executive Officer

Performance for each Section 16 Executive Officer's business unit or function

The CEO has no involvement in any matters related to their own personal compensation and is not present during discussions regarding their pay. Similarly, no Section 16 Executive Officer plays any role in recommending their own personal compensation, nor are they present when their compensation is being discussed.

### 2025 Compensation Peer Group
In line with market practice and to support the Company's governance framework, the Committee maintains a Compensation Peer Group to inform key executive compensation decisions. This peer group serves as a reference to ensure that Newmont's executive compensation components, pay mix, and design are competitive and appropriately aligned with market standards. The Committee also considers peer groups developed by proxy advisory firms and industry-specific surveys, such as those within the mining sector as supplementary reference points.

With the assistance of its independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, the Committee carefully reviewed the companies included in the 2025 Compensation Peer Group in July 2024. Following the completion of the Newcrest merger and the divestiture of non-core assets, and to ensure the peer group continued to reflect the Company's revised size and business profile, the Committee approved the removal of six companies from the 2024 Compensation Peer Group and the addition of nine companies that better align with Newmont's current scope and scale. When evaluating the peer group, the Committee considered several key attributes, including industry, geography, global scale, and the complexity of business operations. Other factors included organizational scope (such as revenue, net income, total assets, market capitalization, and number of employees), logistical complexity, asset intensity, business maturity, and competition for talent. The Committee's objective is to maintain a peer group composed of companies with similar attributes as Newmont, while acknowledging that individual companies may differ in some attributes. Furthermore, the peer group closely aligns with the approach taken by an increasing number of Newmont's stockholders, particularly those characterized as general investors rather than sector-specific.

### Say-on-Pay
The Company recognizes the significant impact of executive compensation decisions on both Newmont's performance and our stakeholders. The annual say-on-pay vote provides stockholders the opportunity to assess our executive compensation philosophy, policies, practices, and alignment of compensation with Newmont's performance, as well as the compensation decisions for our NEOs. Along with our broader stockholder engagement, we consider this feedback essential in shaping and refining our approach to executive compensation.

Our approach to evaluating the say-on-pay vote and stockholder feedback is a multi-step process, ensuring all perspectives are carefully considered before implementing any changes to our executive compensation program.

Executive Compensation and Benefits Programs

### Pay Mix
Executive compensation is strongly tied to the financial and operational performance of the business, with a significant portion of annual target compensation being variable and at-risk. In 2025, 89.0% of the CEO's total target compensation was at-risk and 79.6% of the other NEOs', on average, was at-risk. The Committee views compensation to be "at-risk" if it is linked to operational performance, or if its value is contingent on stock price appreciation.

### Base Salary
Fixed cash compensation

Provides stable compensation to Executive Officers and helps to attract skilled executive talent

### Annual Incentive Program
The annual incentive program for Executive Officers is a cash plan which rewards NEOs for Performance.

Variable cash compensation is based on the level of achievement toward annual performance objectives that support financial and sustainability performance goals

Performance against goals must at least meet a threshold performance, set at a challenging level, for a payout associated with each respective goal

Incentive payouts for each metric are capped at 200% of target

Payout levels are determined 100% based upon Company performance

Annual incentive program target opportunities are set at the median of the Compensation Peer Group for comparable positions

The metrics and design of the Executive Officer bonus plan are aligned with those of the non-executive corporate bonus plan

### Target, Threshold, and Maximum Company Performance Levels
The Committee sets performance metric targets for executive compensation that are both rigorous and challenging, carefully considering relevant risk factors and the business outlook. When determining financial performance metrics, the Committee takes into account the annual operating

2026 Proxy Statement 65

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Executive Compensation and Benefits Programs

plan and evaluates the achievability of these budget targets, factoring in macroeconomic risks and specific actions to meet these goals. As external conditions, such as foreign exchange rates and commodity price volatility, can significantly impact the business, the Committee adjusts targets, as appropriate, to remove the performance effects of these variables. This ensures a more accurate reflection of the Company's underlying performance.

To further drive strong performance, the Committee establishes a clear range of performance levels. The threshold level is designed to reflect high performance, while the maximum level requires exceptional effort and results to achieve. For performance falling between the threshold and maximum, the payout amount is interpolated as a payout percentage between a threshold of 20% and a maximum of 200% for 2025. This structure ensures that executive compensation remains closely aligned with the Company's performance, rewarding executives for achieving challenging goals.

### 2025 Annual Incentive Program Design and Metrics
The program for 2025 includes the following 6 metrics.

---

| | | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Financial** | ![Graphic](nem-20260512xdef14a_a152.jpg) | **Efficiency/ Production Costs** | <br>🞂Adjusted Cash Sustaining Costs / Gold Equivalent Ounce (CSC/GEO) <br>| **35%** |

---

**Financial Metrics.**<sup>(1)</sup> The financial metrics are directly linked to our primary strategic objectives: controlling expenses, enhancing production efficiency, and generating cash to boost stockholder value. These metrics constitute 70% of the target bonus opportunity and offer transparency into how meeting operational targets correlates with Newmont's performance and the enhancement of stockholder value.

Metrics include:

**Operating Efficiency:** As measured by Adjusted Cash Sustaining Costs / Gold Equivalent Ounce (CSC/GEO) to assess the operational efficiency and cost structure of precious metal production; this represents the total adjusted cash costs incurred by the Company to sustain ongoing operations divided by the total number of gold equivalent ounces produced

**Value Creation Measures:** As measured by Adjusted Free Cash Flow (FCF) to measure cash generated from its operations, after accounting for capital expenditures, necessary to maintain and grow mining activities; FCF reflects the surplus cash available for debt reduction, dividends, share buybacks, or investments in growth opportunities

(1) Note that Adjusted CSC/GEO and Adjusted Free Cash Flow are non-GAAP metrics used for compensation purposes. See Annex A-1 for reconciliations.

Executive Compensation and Benefits Programs

**Sustainability Metrics.** Sustainability forms a critical part of Newmont's performance framework, representing 30% of the target bonus opportunity. As sustainability is a core value and strategic priority for the Company, this component aligns executive performance with the long-term health of the business, its people, and the environment. The safety metric reflects Newmont's commitment to developing a workplace culture where the goal is to be free from fatalities, injuries, and illness. The social and environment metrics emphasize Newmont's focus on creating sustainable value for its people, stakeholders, and host communities, ensuring that operational activities are conducted in a way that preserve and enhance both social and environmental relationships. Together, these metrics highlight the importance of long-term responsibility and stewardship in Newmont's operational and corporate strategy.

Metrics include:

**Safety:**

**Significant Potential Event Frequency Rate (SPEFR):** Measures the frequency of events with potential for serious injury or fatality. Targets are based on maintaining or improving best performance from the prior three years. SPEFR complements Fatality Risk Management by providing a lagging/outcomes perspective, with heavier weighting on SPEFR to support a culture of a fatality-, injury-, and illness-free workplace.

**Fatality Risk Management (FRM):** Critical Control Verification, a leading safety practice, requires a target number of systematic reviews and validations of fatality prevention controls to be completed

**Social and Environment:**

**Operating Sites Water Consumption Efficiency:** Improved water efficiency set through reduction of water consumption for each operating site; targets are set annually in alignment with Newmont's external reduction goals

**Focusing on Our Culture:** This index underscores our commitment to fostering a respectful and inclusive workplace and reflects our ongoing efforts to evolve our culture by integrating key drivers—local employment, a shared framework for enterprise-wide engagement, employee sentiment, and respect in the workplace—to provide a holistic view of our culture. Targets included Indigenous and local employment representation across operational sites, delivery of the *Working Together at Newmont* training and development program to site and leadership teams, achieving 74% participation in the Employee Listening Survey, and implementing six mandatory *Respect at Work* microlearnings.

### 2025 Annual Incentive Program Results
In addition to reviewing quantitative results for each metric, the LDCC, along with the Safety and Sustainability Committee for sustainability metrics, conducts a qualitative assessment at the end of the annual performance cycle. This review considers both individual metric performance and overall business performance to ensure the annual bonus payout aligns with the Company's holistic performance for the year.

A detailed breakdown of performance metrics follows below. Overall program performance resulted in a payout of 155.15% of target.

#### Financial Metrics Summary.
The Company's performance in Cash Sustaining Costs per Gold Equivalent Ounce was above incentive plan target, reflecting lower adjusted operating costs partly offset by lower GEO production. Free Cash Flow performance exceeded incentive plan targets, reflecting strong operational performance and higher metal prices, resulting in $7.3 billion of Free Cash Flow and record fourth-quarter and full-year Free Cash Flow results (see Annex A-1 under the heading "Non-GAAP Compensation Measures").

**Sustainability Metrics Summary.**

**Newmont exceeded its target for fatality risk management, with managers, supervisors, and technical specialists across all sites performing above-target monthly critical control verifications. The Significant Potential Event Frequency Rate and Water Consumption Efficiency metrics also achieved above-target performance, with 7 of 11 sites and 10 of 11 sites, respectively, meeting or exceeding their goals. The Working Together at Newmont program and Employee Listening Survey were deferred to 2026 to support implementation of a new, lower-cost organizational design in 2025. Indigenous and local employment commitments exceeded target, while Respect at Work microlearnings were below target. Accordingly, the LDCC determined performance for the Focusing on Our Culture metric was below target.**

### 2026 Annual Incentive Program Design and Metrics<sup>(1)</sup>
For the 2026 Annual Incentive Program, the Company maintained a 70% weighting for financial metrics and a 30% weighting for sustainability metrics, reflecting a balanced focus on financial and operational performance, safety, environmental stewardship, and culture. The Significant Potential Event Frequency Rate (SPEFR) metric, which represented 14% of the program in 2025, was revised for 2026 into two separate safety metrics: maintaining SPEFR at 7% weighting and introducing a Critical Action Management metric at 7% weighting. The Critical Action Management metric is designed to reinforce accountability for the timely closure of safety control gaps identified through Significant Potential Events, Level of Defense Two audits, and Calls to Action. The 2026 Annual Incentive Program continues to be based solely on Company performance for each NEO.

Executive Compensation and Benefits Programs

### Long-Term Incentive Program
Variable equity-based compensation tied to absolute Company performance

Performance Stock Units (PSUs) based on relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR), inclusive of dividends reinvested, performance among industry peers, Return on Capital Employed (ROCE), and sustainability metrics

Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) are time-based

Incentives designed to motivate and reward Executive Officers to achieve multi-year strategic goals and to deliver sustained long-term value to stockholders, as well as to attract and retain Executive Officers

LTI grant levels and vehicle distributions are targeted at the median of the Compensation Peer Group for comparable position

Our equity plans represent a significant portion of the executives' pay mix and are used to create a strong link between individual and Company performance and payouts.

### Equity Vehicles and Mix of PSUs and RSUs
In 2025, the Committee made long-term incentive grants to the Executive Officers in the form of PSUs (67%) and RSUs (33%).

### 2025 Performance Share Unit Program Design
The PSUs awarded to the NEOs in 2025 represent the opportunity to acquire shares contingent upon performance against Newmont's three-year TSR rank compared to companies within the TSR Peer group, ROCE, and scope 1 & 2 carbon emission reduction project milestones.

Vesting is capped at 100% of target for all PSU metrics if absolute TSR is negative for the performance period. The total payout value is limited to four times the target grant value.

(1) Newmont accepts the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate change ("IPCC") assessment of climate change and science and acknowledges that human activities contribute to climate change and that business plays an important role in addressing this global challenge. We have set medium and long-term targets to manage our global energy consumption, shift to renewable energy, and implement technologies that reduce emissions. In 2020, Newmont established Scope 1 and 2 absolute and intensity-based reduction targets of 32%, as compared to a 2018 baseline, and Scope 3 absolute reduction of 30%, as compared to a 2019 baseline, with an ambition to be carbon neutral by 2050. The projects included in our 2025 PSU program are critical to meeting our 2030 Scope 1 and 2 emission reduction commitments.

**Relative Total Shareholder Return.** Consistent with recent program years, the metric of relative Total Shareholder Return (rTSR) was used for the 2025 PSU program, with a weighting of 60%. rTSR helps to mitigate the impact of macroeconomic factors, both positive and negative, that affect the industry, sector, and/or stock price performance where management may have limited influence on impact outcomes. Comparing Newmont's performance against the TSR Peer Group rewards NEOs for driving performance greater than or equal to peers, as the peer group is all generally subject to the same exogenous factors as Newmont.

In 2025, the target performance for relative TSR rank was maintained at the 55<sup>th</sup> percentile, requiring above median performance in comparison to the peer group to achieve target vesting of

100%. Interpolation is used to determine vesting levels in between thresholds. TSR must rank at or above the 25<sup>th</sup> percentile for this component within the PSU program to payout.

**Return on Capital Employed.** In alignment with our focus on long-term, sustainable value creation, the 2025 PSU program continues to include Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) as a key performance metric. ROCE, which measures the efficiency and profitability of capital investments, reflects our commitment to maximizing returns on capital deployed across Newmont's global operations. This metric is integral to driving operational performance while maintaining fiscal discipline and supporting the creation of lasting stockholder value. The inclusion of ROCE in the PSU program reinforces disciplined capital efficiency by rewarding executives for investment decisions that generate strong returns and support the Company's long-term financial health and value creation.

**Sustainability Metric.** The sustainability metric, achieving Scope 1 & 2 carbon emission reduction project milestones aligns with our external commitments and targets, such as the 2030 sustainability-linked issuance bond, our science-based climate target of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 30% by 2030, and the 2030 UN Sustainable Development Goals. Through this metric, we continue to reward executives for driving measurable progress in our sustainability efforts, advancing both environmental and social performance.

### 2025 Relative TSR Peer Group
The TSR Peer Group is comprised of companies that Newmont uses to assess relative TSR performance within the PSU programs.<sup>(1)</sup> In response to stockholder feedback and in alignment with guidance from the Committee's independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, the TSR Peer Group was expanded starting with the 2022 LTI program to include companies listed in the VanEck Gold Miners (GDX) exchange-traded fund and expanded to also include the S&P 500 Index as an additional constituent in 2025. This transition allows for a more reliable and broader comparison, which includes:

RSUs were granted to executives in 2025, which will become common stock at vesting on a one-to-one basis. The awards vest on a pro rata basis in three equal annual installments over a three-year period from the date of grant, with dividend equivalents paid upon vesting.

&nbsp;&nbsp;**LTI Awards**<br>In February 2025, the Committee approved LTI targets for each NEO, as shown in the Summary Compensation Table, maintaining the equity mix used for the 2023 and 2024 LTI program. The Committee considered the following when determining the 2025 grant values for each NEO:<br>🞂Individual performance and criticality of, and expected future, contributions of the NEO<br>🞂Time in role and experience<br>🞂Retention considerations<br>🞂Comparison of NEO targets to respective Compensation Peer Group values at the 50<sup>th</sup> percentile<br>🞂The Committee determined the number of PSUs to be granted based on the average closing Newmont stock price 25-trading-days prior to and including the grant date and the number of RSUs to be granted based on the closing stock price on the date of grant. The CEO's PSU and RSU grants were recommended by the Committee and approved by the Board, while the Committee approved the grants for the other Section 16 Executive Officers. <br>

### 2026 PSU Program Design
Compared to the 2025 PSU program, the following changes were implemented for 2026:

In response to feedback received during 2025 stockholder outreach and in alignment with treatment among our Proxy Compensation Peer Group, the threshold payout for the relative TSR component was reduced from 50% to 40%

The sustainability metric was refined to focus on emphasizing the advancement of energy-management initiatives that directly reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency

Executive Compensation and Benefits Programs

### Employee Benefits
Our NEOs participate in broad-based health and welfare plans on the same basis as other full-time employees, including:

Retirement plans

Medical, dental, and vision benefits

Short-term and long-term disability insurance

Life and accidental death and dismemberment insurance

### Retirement Plans
The Company offers two U.S. tax-qualified retirement plans, a defined benefit Pension Plan, and a defined contribution Retirement Savings Plan (401(k) plan). Both plans are available to a broad range of our employees, generally including all U.S. domestic salaried employees. Because of the qualified status of the Pension Plan and Retirement Savings Plan, the Internal Revenue Code limits the benefits available to highly compensated employees. As a result, the Company provides a non-qualified defined benefit plan (Pension Equalization Plan) and a non-qualified savings plan (Savings Equalization Plan) for executive employees who are subject to the Internal Revenue Code limitations in the qualified plans. The Pension Equalization Plan provides the full benefit intended under the qualified plan by making executives whole where they otherwise would not be because of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) annual compensation limits. The Savings Equalization Plan allows pre-tax savings above the IRC limits. These retirement plans, including our equalization plans, support our goals of retaining executive employees. Refer to "Additional Benefits and Tables" for additional information.

### Perquisites
The Company provides limited perquisites to senior executives, including the NEOs, to enhance their financial security and productivity. Perquisites include optional financial and tax planning services, optional annual executive health assessment, optional international health insurance as a recruitment tool for executives with dependents remaining outside the United States, and minimal personal use of administrative assistance.

The Committee regularly reviews the perquisites provided to the respective Executive Officers as part of its overall review of executive compensation to ensure that the offerings remain reasonable and in alignment with market practice. The total perquisites value for each NEO remains well below the median market value of our Compensation Peer Group.

Details regarding benefits and perquisites that each NEO received for the fiscal year end December 31, 2025, can be found in the "Summary Compensation Table" and accompanying narrative and in the "All Other Compensation Table."

### Executive Compensation Policies and Practices

### Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines
The Company has stock ownership guidelines requiring executives to hold a minimum number of Newmont shares which they must achieve within five years of their Executive Officer appointment. Eligible shares include those held personally or beneficially owned, as well as RSUs subject solely to service-based vesting. PSUs do not contribute to an executive's minimum ownership requirement, nor do stock options as they are not provided within our LTI program. Guidelines were expanded in 2025, requiring Executive Officers to hold at least 50% of vested LTI until share ownership guidelines are met within the five-year transition period. As of December 31, 2025, all NEOs either met the share ownership guidelines or fell within the exceptions to the guidelines.

### Executive Compensation Clawback Provision
The Company has a comprehensive Clawback Policy as well as clawback terms in the annual incentive and long-term incentive programs for its employees, including Executive Officers.

The Company's Clawback Policy provides for the mandatory recovery of erroneously awarded compensation in the event of an accounting restatement in accordance with the applicable rules of The New York Stock Exchange Listed Company Manual, Section 10D and Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act (the "Clawback Policy"). Subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Clawback Policy and applicable law, the Clawback Policy requires the recovery of the amount of any erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation received by an Executive Officer in the event of an accounting restatement that exceeds the amount that otherwise would have been received had it been determined based on the restated financial results. Clawback eligible compensation under the Clawback Policy covers compensation received by the Executive Officer during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date the Company concludes it is required to prepare an accounting restatement.

In addition, the Clawback Policy has expanded clawback provisions covering unethical behavior and misconduct. If the Committee determines that an Executive Officer engaged in such misconduct, the Committee may determine to recover incentive-based compensation or other covered compensation, including supplemental retirement plan benefits calculated based on incentive compensation, as well as time-based equity awards, one-time cash awards such as signing bonuses, project completion bonuses and recognition spot awards.

The provisions of the Clawback Policy prohibit Newmont from insuring, reimbursing insurance or indemnifying any current or former Executive Officer against the loss of erroneously awarded compensation.

A copy of the Clawback Policy is included as an exhibit to the Company's Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025, and is also available on its website at https://www.newmont.com/about-us/governance-and-ethics/.

Executive Compensation Policies And Practices

### Restrictions on Trading Stock
Newmont maintains a Stock Trading Standard (the "Standard") that governs the purchase, sale and other dispositions of the Company's securities by directors, officers and employees, and is designed to promote compliance with insider trading laws, rules and regulations. It is also the policy of the Company to comply with applicable securities laws when transacting in its own securities. The Standard prohibits trading during certain periods of the year by those with access to financial results, requires pre-approval of trades in Company securities for its Executive Officers and prohibits buying shares on margin or using shares as collateral for loans, among other requirements.

A copy of the Stock Trading Standard is included as an exhibit to the Company's Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025.

### Anti-Hedging and Anti-Pledging Policies
Newmont's Stock Trading Standard prohibits Newmont's directors and executives from (i) engaging in any forms of hedging or short-selling transactions involving our securities, (ii) pledging or margining our securities, or (iii) any other transaction that would directly or indirectly reduce the risk of holding Company securities, however acquired. These prohibitions apply to shares acquired through equity awards or open-market purchases.

Directors and executives may not hold Company securities in margin accounts or pledge Company securities as collateral for loans, as margin calls or foreclosure sales may occur at times when the individual is aware of material non-public information or otherwise prohibited from trading, which could result in violations of federal securities laws. The prohibitions also apply to transactions by immediate family members or entities controlled by directors or executives, to the extent such transactions involve Company securities.

To the extent legally permissible, limited exceptions to the prohibition on pledging may be granted on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the Company's Chief Legal Officer or Corporate Secretary. Any such exception would be expected to be rare, subject to rigorous review, and disclosed in the Company's Proxy Statement. No exceptions have been requested, and no Directors or Executive Officers currently have any Company securities pledged.

### Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation
The Company follows the Financial Accounting Standards Board's Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 718, or ASC Topic 718, for our stock-based compensation awards. ASC Topic 718 requires companies to calculate the grant date "fair value" of their stock-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC Topic 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their stock-based awards in their income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award.

Grants of PSUs and RSUs under our equity incentive award plans are accounted for under ASC Topic 718. The Committee regularly considers the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs. As accounting standards change, the Committee may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of equity awards with the overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

### Tax Deductibility of Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, limits the amount of compensation in excess of $1,000,000 that the Company may deduct in any one year with respect to certain of its Executive Officers whose compensation must be included in this proxy statement. In 2025 compensation amounts for each NEO were greater than $1,000,000 and a portion of their salaries, bonuses, stock awards, and other compensation items are not deductible by the Company.

Additional Benefits and Tables

### Pension Plan
Each NEO participates in Newmont's qualified Stable Value Pension Plan, which is available to U.S. domestic salaried employees of the Company. The plan provides for post-retirement payments determined by a formula based upon annual pay and years of service, and is designed to promote long-term retention, including in times of high demand within the talent marketplace.

Benefits accrued under this plan generally do not vest until employees have completed five whole years of service with the Company. Mr. Palmer and Mr. Hardy have vested benefits under the Pension Plan by virtue of five or more years of service. Ms. Viljoen, Mr. Wexler, and Mr. Toth do not have vested benefits under the Pension Plan, as they do not have five years of service with the Company. Ms. Ovelmen has a vested benefit under the Pension Plan as a result of a partial plan termination. Pursuant to the workforce reduction program implemented in 2025, all Participants in the Pension Plan exiting the Company during this period were granted full vesting in their accrued benefits, regardless of their years of service.

### Pension Value Calculation
The Stable Value Pension Plan benefits are determined as follows:

---

| | | |
|:---|:---|:---|
| &nbsp;&nbsp;FULL YEARS OF SERVICES |  |  |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;COMPLETED BY THE END OF  | PERCENTAGE OF SALARY UP TO AND | PERCENT OF SALARY OVER THE |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;THE PLAN YEAR | INCLUDING SOCIAL SECURITY WAGE BASE | SOCIAL SECURITY WAGE BASE |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;0 to 9 | 13%  | 21% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;10 to 19 | 15%  | 23% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;20+ | 17%  | 25% |

---

The stable value benefit, as of a given date, is the sum of all the amounts accrued for each year of service, inclusive of regular pay, vacation pay, and annual bonus. Severance or Change of Control payments are not included as pensionable earnings. Salary does not include stock-based compensation, foreign assignment premiums, signing bonuses, fringe benefits, payments from non-qualified plans, or indemnity benefit payments. Normal retirement age under the pension is 65 and the vesting period is 5 years. If a participant has 5 years of service and separates employment with Newmont prior to age 65, the participant is entitled to a reduced benefit. Participants may take their benefit in lump sum or an annuity.

The Stable Value Pension Plan contains a cap on eligible earnings as required by the Internal Revenue Code as well as a cap on benefits as required by section 415 of the Internal Revenue Code. This cap limits the pension benefits that executive-grade employees of the Company can receive under the Pension Plan.

### Pension Equalization Plan
The Pension Equalization Plan provides for an actuarially determined present value cash lump sum amount upon retirement, or upon termination after 5 years of service with the Company. The Company determines the lump sum amount by calculating a full pension benefit under the Pension Plan, using the definition of Salary from the Pension Equalization Plan, and subtracting the actual benefit owed under the Pension Plan that is subject to the cap in benefits.

If a participant dies while employed with the Company, or after retirement but before receipt of benefits under the Pension Equalization Plan, and the participant was entitled to benefits under the Pension Plan, the participant's legal spouse receives survivor benefits which are calculated based upon the full Pension Equalization benefit minus the Pension Plan benefit amount. If the Company terminates a participant for cause, the participant forfeits all benefits under the Pension Equalization Plan.

### Pension Calculation Assumptions
The qualified Pension Plan and Pension Equalization Plan benefits are defined as a lump sum at age 65, the age at which benefits are unreduced. All of the benefits shown are also discounted from the earliest unreduced retirement age to current age using the FASB discount rate of 5.78%.

### Retirement Savings Plan
The Retirement Savings Plan is the Company's defined contribution plan that is available to a broad group of Company employees, which generally includes U.S. domestic salaried employees of Newmont. Eligible employees may contribute before-tax or after-tax compensation to a plan account for retirement savings. Under the Savings Plan, the Company will match 100% of the first 6% of a participant's base salary, with a maximum of $350,000 in salary and a maximum match of $21,000 for 2025 contribution to the Savings Plan annually. The Company contribution vests as follows:

### Savings Plan Vesting Schedule

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
|  | PERCENTAGE OF COMPANY |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;YEARS OF SERVICE | CONTRIBUTION VESTED |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;Less than 1 year | 0% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;1 year | 20% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;2 years | 40% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;3 years | 60% |
| &nbsp;&nbsp;4 or more years | 100% |

---

In the event of death, disability, retirement, change of control (same definition as Executive Change of Control Plan explained in the "Potential Payments Upon Termination" or "Change of Control" section), or termination of the Savings Plan, a participant is fully vested in the Company contribution component of the Savings Plan. In accordance with the Internal Revenue Code, the Savings Plan limits the before-tax and after-tax contributions that highly compensated participants may make to the Savings Plan.

### Savings Equalization Plan
The Savings Equalization Plan allows eligible participants the opportunity to defer up to 100% of compensation beyond the Internal Revenue Code limitations set forth in the Savings Plan on a pre-tax basis. The Savings Equalization Plan is a non-qualified deferred compensation plan. To participate in the Savings Equalization Plan, an employee must be an executive or a legacy participant and be eligible to participate in the Savings Plan of Newmont. The purpose of the Savings Equalization Plan is to allow executive employees a way to defer additional compensation for post-employment savings purposes beyond the limits set forth in the Savings Plan. A participant's deferred compensation is contributed at the direction of the participant to various hypothetical investment alternatives. Such investments are selected by a committee of Company representatives, with the advice of professional investment managers.

Upon distribution of Savings Equalization Plan accounts, the participant receives a cash amount equal to the value of the contributions if such contributions had been invested in such hypothetical investments, as of the applicable valuation date. A participant receives distribution of Savings Equalization amounts in lump-sum form, or at a pre-selected distribution date in the future according to the provisions of the plan and Internal Revenue Code Section 409A.

In 2010, the Company established a trust for participants' account balances in the Savings Equalization Plan, and the Company funds the participant account balances in the trust. The assets held in this trust may be subject to claims of the Company's creditors in the event the Company files for bankruptcy.

Additional Benefits and Tables

### Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
The Committee maintains severance arrangements and protections to ensure alignment between the interests of our executives and our stockholders in the event of a sale or merger of the Company. These benefits enable Executive Officers to focus their attention on business operations without undue concern regarding their own financial situations during these periods of potential disruption and distraction. The Committee designed these arrangements to be fair and reasonable, and in alignment with peer market practices.

### Retirement Benefits
Mr. Palmer and Mr. Hardy have vested benefits under the Pension Plan and Pension Equalization Plan. Ms. Viljoen, Mr. Wexler, and Mr. Toth do not have vested benefits under the Pension Plan or Pension Equalization Plan, as they have not attained five years of service. Ms. Ovelmen has a vested benefit under the Pension Plan as a result of a partial plan termination. In connection with the workforce reduction program implemented in 2025, all U.S.-based employees exiting the Company during this period became fully vested, regardless of years of service. See the "Pension Benefits Table" for the present value of benefits under these plans.

For PSU and RSU equity grants, retirement is defined as at least age 55, with at least 5 years of continuous service and a total of 65 when adding age plus years of continuous service. If an individual meets this definition of retirement: 1) PSUs shall pro-rata vest based on actual performance using program-end performance; 2) RSUs that have not yet met the first anniversary of grant shall pro-rata vest; and 3) RSUs beyond the first anniversary of grant shall continue to vest post-retirement on the original vesting schedule.

### Voluntary Termination
The NEOs would receive no payments or other benefits upon voluntary termination, except for vested benefits under the Pension Plan and Pension Equalization Plan. See the "Pension Benefits Table" for the present value of benefits under these plans.

### Termination Not for Cause
The Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board adopted an Executive Severance Plan applicable to Senior Director-level employees and above, on October 25, 2011. Effective January 1, 2025, the Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee of the Board approved a revised severance plan for eligible Section 16 Officers only, defined as the Severance Plan for Section 16 Officers of Newmont, thereby replacing all prior provisions of the Executive Severance Plan. As of November 1, 2024, all non-Section 16 Officers previously covered under the Executive Severance Plan are now covered under the Severance Plan for Salaried Employees of Newmont.

Under the Severance Plan for Section 16 Officers of Newmont, any eligible employee who is subject to involuntary termination of employment for any reason other than cause is entitled to severance benefits. Cause is defined as engagement in illegal conduct or gross negligence, or willful misconduct or any dishonest or fraudulent activity, breach of any contract, agreement or representation with the Company, or violation of Newmont's Code of Conduct.

The Company's severance benefits include:

A fixed number of months of base salary

Pro-rated actual bonus (this benefit is contained in the bonus plan)

Pro-rata PSU and RSU payout

Medical benefits for the severance period, not to exceed 18 months

Outplacement services for up to 12 months

88 Newmont Corporation

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Additional Benefits and Tables

The range of fixed number of months of base salary for the Named Executive Officers is 24 months of salary for Mr. Palmer and 15 months of salary + 1 month of salary for every year of service up to a maximum of 18 months of salary for Ms. Viljoen, Mr. Wexler, Mr. Toth, and Mr. Hardy.

For equity grants in the case of separation of employment under the Severance Plan for Section 16 Officers of Newmont, there shall be a pro-rata percent acceleration of restricted stock units that have already been granted. PSUs shall pro-rata vest based on actual performance at program end. The calculations below in the termination tables use the target payout for Performance Stock Units.

The payments and benefits provided under the Severance Plan for Section 16 Officers of Newmont are contingent upon the affected Executive Officer's execution and non-revocation of a general release of claims and compliance with specified restrictive covenants.

### Termination for Cause
No additional benefits are payable in any case of termination for cause. The Company's plans generally define cause as stated above.

### Change of Control
The Company's Executive Change of Control Plan applies to Senior Director level employees and above, including the NEOs, in the event of a change of control, which is generally defined as:

The acquisition of beneficial ownership of 20% or more of either (a) the then outstanding shares of the Company; or (b) the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of the Company entitled to vote generally in the Election of Directors (but not an acquisition by a Company entity or Company benefit plan); or

The individuals constituting the Company's Board of Directors on January 1, 2008 (for 2008 Executive Change of Control Plan) and January 1, 2012 (for 2012 Executive Change of Control Plan), cease to constitute at least most of the Board, with certain exceptions allowing the Board the ability to vote in new members by a majority; or

Consummation of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, sale, or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or an acquisition of assets of another corporation. The acquisition of assets of another corporation does not constitute a change of control if certain requirements are met to evidence that the Company is the acquiring company and will conduct the business of the combined entity going forward.

Newmont maintains the 2008 Executive Change of Control Plan and the 2012 Executive Change of Control Plan. During fiscal year 2025, Mr. Palmer participated in the 2008 Executive Change of Control Plan, while the other NEOs participated in the 2012 plan. The 2008 Executive Change of Control Plan will be retired on January 1, 2026.

### Termination After Change of Control
Executives are eligible for benefits under the change of control plans if terminated within the requisite period of a change of control or if the executive terminates for good reason within the requisite time period of a change of control. The Change of Control Plans generally define good reason as any of the following without the executive's prior consent:

Material reduction in salary or bonus compensation from the level immediately preceding the change of control

Requiring the executive to relocate their principal place of business more than 35 miles (50 miles in the 2012 Executive Change of Control Plan) from the previous principal place of business

Failure by the employer to comply with the obligations under the Change of Control Plan

Assigning the executive duties inconsistent with the executive's position immediately prior to such assignment or any action resulting in the diminution of the executive's position, authority, duties, or responsibilities

2026 Proxy Statement 89

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

Additional Benefits and Tables

If an executive is eligible for termination benefits under the Executive Change of Control Plan, the executive is entitled to:

Two times the "annual pay" for Executive Officers

Annual pay is defined as annual salary, annual cash bonus at the highest amount that the executive received in the three years prior to the change of control, and the highest employer matching contribution made to the Savings Plan on behalf of the executive in the three years prior to the change of control

Mr. Palmer would receive three times annual pay based on the previous terms of the policy

Pro-rated bonus determined by percentage of the year worked at target level

For the COBRA period, health, dental, vision, prescription, and life insurance benefits for the executive and their family

Outplacement services consistent with the Company's practices during the one-year period prior to the change of control

Unvested participants in the Pension Plan vest in their interests in the plan; see the "Pension Benefits Table" and accompanying footnotes for pension values and unvested participants

No tax gross ups are provided for any amounts payable in connection with a change in control. The 2020 Stock Incentive Compensation Plan approved by stockholders in 2020 incorporates a double-trigger upon change of control for any equity vesting and all equity outstanding only vests upon a double-trigger of change of control and termination of employment. The Retirement Savings Plan provides for immediate vesting of the Company matching contributions which is capped at a total of $21,000 per year in 2025.

### Death
The level of coverage under the basic term life insurance program provides two times final annual base salary for an employee who dies while an active employee, up to a maximum of $1,500,000. Upon the death of one of the NEOs, payment is made to the beneficiary of record for the group life insurance coverage.

In the event of death during employment an unvested participant of the Pension Plan vests in the Pension Plan. See the "Pension Benefits Table" and following text for pension values and unvested participants.

### Disability
Short-term disability benefits provide for 100% of base pay (salary and bonus) for the initial twelve weeks of disability and 60% of base pay for the remainder of short-term disability for a total period of up to six months. In the event of long-term disability, the Company has an insurance plan that provides a maximum monthly benefit to executives and officers of the Company of $15,000 per month. The maximum benefit period for the long-term disability benefit varies depending upon the age on date of disability. Qualified long-term disability participants also receive continuation of medical coverage for up to 24 months.

### Performance Bonuses, PSUs, and RSUs
All amounts shown for Bonuses include Company Performance Bonuses, Personal Bonuses, Performance Stock Units, and Restricted Stock Units are calculated at target level for 2025 performance.

### Accelerated Vesting of Restricted Stock
The amounts shown assume vesting as of December 31, 2025, at a closing price of $99.85 per share. The amounts shown do not include any vested stock awards.

Additional Benefits and Tables

### Performance Stock Units
The amounts shown for the Performance Stock Units in the event of a Change of Control assume target payout and a stock price of $99.85 per share, the December 31, 2025, closing stock price, because there is no change of control price to determine actual payout, as contemplated by the PSU program.

### Restricted Stock Units
The amounts shown for the Restricted Stock Units represent the target granted for the year of the change of control. These restricted stock units are subject to a vesting period beginning with one-third vesting the following January 1st, one-third vesting one year later, and the final one-third vesting two years later. Vesting accelerates upon a termination of employment after a change of control. The figures shown represent target payout and a stock price of $99.85 per share, the December 31, 2025, closing price.

### Health Care Benefits
The value of health care benefits disclosed below is based on the incremental additional cost to the Company for the length of coverage specified in the Long-Term Disability Plan, Executive Severance Plan, or the Executive Change of Control Plans, except that for Change of Control, the amount is determined without any present value discount.

### Life Insurance
Life insurance coverage and proceeds are provided under the terms of the Group Life Plan.

### 280G Tax Gross-Up
The Company does not provide 280G gross ups on any benefits.

Additional Benefits and Tables

### Pay Ratio of CEO to Median Employee
The following summarizes the relationship of the annual total compensation of the median employee from among our employees (other than the CEO) and the annual total compensation of the CEO.

To identify the median compensated employee for the 2026 Proxy Statement, the Company used a consistently applied compensation measure ("CACM"), defined as annualized base salary, which provides a reasonable estimate of compensation received. This annualized base-salary measure was applied only to permanent employees (and not to seasonal or temporary employees) and was not adjusted for part-time status. Local currency was consistently converted using foreign exchange rates applied consistently for the period January 1, 2025, through December 1, 2025. No cost-of-living adjustments were applied. Using this CACM, the Company identified a group of employees whose compensation fell within the median range as of December 1, 2025. The Company then reviewed full-year 2025 compensation records for that group and selected the single median employee for purposes of calculating the ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay.

The Company has determined that the 2025 annual total compensation of the median compensated employee was $83,771. For 2025, the total compensation for the Company's CEO, Mr. Palmer, as reported in the "Summary Compensation Table" was $15,625,168. Mr. Palmer's total compensation is 187 times (or a ratio of 187 to 1) that of the estimated median compensated Newmont employee. This pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated in accordance with SEC rules based on our payroll and employment records.

The SEC rules for identifying the median compensated employee and calculating the pay ratio based on that employee's annual total compensation allow companies to adopt a variety of methodologies, exclusions, and assumptions that reflect their compensation practices. As such, the pay ratio reported above may not be comparable to the pay ratio reported by other companies, even those in a related industry or of a similar size and scope. Other companies may have different employment practices, regional demographics, or may utilize different methodologies and assumptions in calculating their pay ratios.

Adjustments for performance stock units ("PSUs") reflect changes in fair value during the fiscal year based on the Company's closing stock price at fiscal year-end and management's estimate of expected performance. For PSUs with market-based conditions, fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation model as described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. PSU awards have a maximum payout opportunity of 200% of target. See the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for additional information. |

### Compensation Actually Paid Versus Company Performance
Executive compensation is linked strongly to the financial and operational performance of the Company, with a majority of annual target compensation being variable and at-risk. In 2025, 89.0% of the total target compensation for the principal Executive Officer (PEO) and 79.6% of non-PEO NEO pay, on average, was at-risk and tied to performance measures that impact stockholder return, including Free Cash Flow. The following charts provide a clear visual description of the relationship between Compensation Actually Paid and Newmont Total Shareholder Return, Peer/Index Total Shareholder Return, Newmont Free Cash Flow, and Newmont Net Income as detailed in the Pay Versus Performance table above.

### PROPOSAL THREE — RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Newmont's Audit Committee of the Board of Directors evaluates the selection of independent auditors each year and has selected Ernst & Young LLP ("EY") as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026. In September 2014, the Company formally engaged EY as its independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. EY has continued to serve as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm since that time.

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company's consolidated financial statements. In accordance with its commitment to sound corporate governance practices, the Audit Committee reviews whether it is in the Company's best interests to rotate the Company's independent registered public accounting firm ("independent auditor"). In fulfilling its oversight responsibility, the Audit Committee carefully reviews the policies and procedures for the engagement of the independent auditor, including the scope of the audit, audit fees, auditor independence matters, performance of the independent auditors, and the extent to which the independent auditor may be retained to perform non-audit services. The Audit Committee and its Chair are also directly involved with the selection, review and evaluation of the lead engagement partner, and the negotiation of audit fees. The Audit Committee reviews the performance of the independent auditor annually. In conducting its review, the Audit Committee considers, among other things:

the professional qualifications and effectiveness of EY, the lead audit partner and other key engagement partners

EY's historical and recent performance on the Company's audit, including the extent and quality of EY's communications with the Audit Committee

an analysis of EY's known legal risks and significant proceedings that may impair its ability to perform the Company's annual audit

data relating to audit quality and performance, including the most recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") reports on EY and its peer firms

the appropriateness of EY's fees

EY's independence policies and its processes for maintaining its independence

EY's tenure as the Company's independent auditor and its depth of understanding of the Company's global business, operations and systems, accounting policies and practices, including the potential effect on the financial statements of the major risks and exposures facing the Company, and internal control over financial reporting

EY's demonstrated professional integrity and objectivity, including through rotation of the lead audit partner and other key engagement partners

EY's capability, expertise and efficiency in handling the breadth and complexity of the Company's global operations, including of the lead audit partner and other key engagement partners

the advisability and potential impact of selecting a different independent public accounting firm

As a result of its evaluation of EY's qualifications, performance and independence, the Board and the Audit Committee believe that the continued retention of EY to serve as the Company's independent auditor for the year ending December 31, 2026, is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

As a matter of good corporate governance, the Board and the Audit Committee submit the selection of the independent auditor to our stockholders for ratification in connection with the 2026 Annual Meeting. If the selection of EY is not ratified by a majority of the shares of common stock present or represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, the Audit Committee will review its selection of an independent auditor in light of that vote result. Even if this appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee may, in its discretion, direct the appointment of a different independent auditor at any time during

**Proposal Three—Ratification of Appointment of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm**

the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

We expect that a representative of EY will attend the Annual Meeting, and the representative will have an opportunity to make a statement. The representative will also be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

The Audit Committee has established procedures for engagement of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm to perform services other than audit, review, and attest services.

In order to safeguard the independence of the Company's independent registered public accounting firm, for each engagement to perform such non-audit service, (a) management and EY affirm to the Audit Committee that the proposed non-audit service is not prohibited by applicable laws, rules or regulations; (b) management describes the reasons for hiring EY to perform the services; and (c) EY affirms to the Audit Committee that it is qualified to perform the services.

The Audit Committee pre-approves and reviews audit and non-audit services performed by EY as well as the fees charged by EY for such services and is provided with quarterly reporting on actual spending. The Audit Committee has delegated to its Chair its authority to pre-approve such services in limited circumstances, and any such pre-approvals are reported to the Audit Committee at its next regular meeting and ratified. In its pre-approval and review of non-audit service fees, the Audit Committee considers, among other factors, the possible effect of the performance of such services on the auditors' independence. All services provided by EY were permissible under applicable laws, rules and regulations and were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its procedures. The Audit Committee considered the amount of non-audit services provided by EY in assessing its independence.

For additional information concerning the Audit Committee and its activities with EY, see "Corporate Governance" and "Report of the Audit Committee" in this Proxy Statement.

### REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is composed entirely of Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company or any of its subsidiaries and are independent, as defined in the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the Company's Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Audit Committee has adopted a Charter that describes its responsibilities in detail. The Charter is available on the Company's website at http://www.newmont.com/about-us/governance-and-ethics/.

The primary responsibility for financial and other reporting, internal controls, compliance with laws and regulations, and ethics, rests with the management of the Company. The Audit Committee's primary purpose is to oversee the integrity of the Company's financial statements, the Company's compliance with legal and regulatory requirements and corporate policies and controls, the independent auditor's selection, compensation, retention, qualifications, performance, objectivity and independence, the performance of the Company's internal audit function, treasury and finance matters and enterprise risk management, privacy and data security and cybersecurity. The Audit Committee reviews the financial information that will be provided to the stockholders and others, the systems of internal controls that management and the Board have established, and the audit, accounting and financial reporting process. Additional information about the Audit Committee's role in corporate governance can be found in the Audit Committee's Charter.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management and EY, the Company's independent auditors, the audited financial statements of the Company for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025, and the results of management's assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting and independent registered public accounting firm's audit of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2025.

The Audit Committee has discussed with EY the matters required to be discussed by the applicable Public Company Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") rules, including the quality, not just the acceptability, of the accounting principles, the reasonableness of significant judgments and the clarity of the disclosures in the financial statements. The Audit Committee has received and reviewed the disclosure and letter required by the applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant's communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed EY's independence with them, and considered whether the non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm to the Company are compatible with maintaining the firm's independence.

The Company also has an internal audit department that reports to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee reviews and approves the internal audit plan at least once a year and receives updates of internal audit results throughout the year. The Audit Committee discussed with the Company's internal auditors and independent registered public accounting firm the overall scope and plans for their respective audits. The Audit Committee met regularly with the internal auditors and the independent registered public accounting firm to discuss the results of their examinations, their evaluations of the Company's internal controls, and the overall quality of the Company's financial reporting.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

General Information

***If you wish to change your vote —*** You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the taking of the vote at the Annual Meeting.

**Online Prior to the Annual Meeting —** You may change your vote using the online voting method described above, in which case only your latest internet proxy submitted prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted.

**Online During the Annual Meeting —** You may change your vote by attending the Annual Meeting by visiting https://meetnow.global/MQD4CLQ, entering the control number found in your Notice of Internet Availability, and following the instructions to vote, in which case only your latest internet proxy submitted will be counted.

**Mail —** You may revoke your proxy and change your vote by signing and returning a new proxy card or voting instruction form dated as of a later date, in which case only your latest proxy card or voting instruction form received prior to the Annual Meeting will be counted.

***If you hold Newmont Common Stock at your Broker —*** If your shares are held in an account at a brokerage firm, bank, dealer, or other similar organization, then you are the beneficial owner of shares held in "street name" and the Notice or proxy materials, as applicable, are being forwarded to you by that organization. Your Voting Instruction Form from Broadridge or your Notice provides information on how to vote your shares. The organization holding your account is considered the stockholder of record for purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in street name and do not provide the organization that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, the organization that holds your shares may generally vote on "routine" matters such as ratification of auditors but cannot vote on "non-routine" matters, including the Election of Directors and the Advisory Vote to Approve Executive Compensation unless you have provided specific instructions to do so.

Thus, if the organization that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a "non-routine" matter, that organization will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is generally referred to as a "broker non-vote."

***If you hold Newmont CDIs or PDIs:*** If you are a CDI or PDI holder, you are the beneficial owner of the equivalent common stock for each CDI or PDI registered in your name as of the Record Date. Legal title to the common stock underlying the CDIs or PDIs is held by the Company's CDI Depositary, CHESS Depositary Nominees Pty Ltd ("CDN"), in the case of CDIs, and the Company's PDI Depositary, PNGCSD Nominee Limited ("PNGCSD"), in the case of PDIs. CDN and PNGCSD are considered the stockholders of record for the purposes of voting at the Annual Meeting. As the beneficial owner, you may instruct CDN (for CDIs) and PNGCSD (for PDIs), to vote the common stock underlying your CDIs or PDIs on your behalf in one of the following methods:

---

|:---|:---|
| ![Graphic](nem-20260512xdef14a_a166.jpg) | **Online Prior to the Annual Meeting** — You may instruct CDN and/or PNGCSD, as applicable, to vote on your behalf online at www.investorvote.com.au.

### Quorum, Tabulation and Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions
***Quorum.*** The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting must be present in person or represented by proxy in order to constitute a quorum for all matters to come before the meeting. For purposes of determining the presence of a quorum, "shares of capital stock of the Company" include all shares of common stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

***Tabulating Votes and Voting Results***. Votes at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by one or more inspectors of election who will be appointed by the Chair of the meeting and who will not be candidates for election to the Board of Directors. The inspectors of election will treat shares of capital stock represented by a properly signed and returned proxy as present at the Annual Meeting for purposes of determining a quorum, without regard to whether the proxy is marked as casting a vote or abstaining.

***Broker Non-Votes and Abstentions.*** Abstentions and broker non-votes as to particular matters are counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting. Except with respect to the Election of Directors, where abstentions are excluded, abstentions have the same effect as votes against proposals presented to stockholders. With respect to the Election of Directors, abstentions are not counted as votes cast and therefore will have no effect in determining whether the required majority vote has been attained. A "broker non-vote" occurs when you do not give instructions to your broker, bank, or other nominee of shares you beneficially own in "street name"

106 Newmont Corporation

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

General Information

on how to vote your shares common stock, and the broker, bank, or other nominee does not have authority to vote your shares in its discretion. In these circumstances, if you do not provide voting instructions, the broker, bank, or nominee may nevertheless (but is not required to) vote your shares on your behalf with respect to certain proposals deemed to be "routine." Other than with respect to the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal Three), broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast (with respect to Proposal One, Election of Directors), or as present and entitled to vote on the proposal (with respect to Proposal Two, the advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation).

As such, please be reminded that if you hold your shares in "street name" it is critical that you cast your vote if you want it to count in the Election of Directors (Proposal One). If you hold your shares in "street name" and you do not instruct your bank or broker how to vote in the Election of Directors, no votes will be cast on your behalf. They also will not have discretion to vote uninstructed shares on the advisory vote to approve Named Executive Officer compensation (Proposal Two). Your bank or broker will, however, have discretion to vote any uninstructed shares on the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal Three).

### Votes Required to Approve the Proposals

---

| | |
|:---|:---|
| PROPOSAL  | VOTE REQUIRED  |
| Election of Directors  | Majority of votes cast for each Nominee  |
| Advisory vote on the approval of executive compensation  | Non-binding advisory vote — majority of stock present in person or by proxy (assuming a quorum is present)  |
| Ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm for 2026  | Majority of stock present in person or by proxy (assuming a quorum is present) |

---

***Election of Directors.*** Brokers, banks and other financial institutions cannot vote your stock on your behalf for the Election of Directors if you have not provided instructions on your voting instruction form, by telephone or by Internet. For your vote to be counted, you must submit your voting instructions to your broker or custodian.

***Advisory Say-on-Pay Vote.*** Because the vote on Compensation of the Named Executive Officers is advisory in nature, it will not: (1) affect any compensation already paid or awarded to any Named Executive Officer, (2) be binding on or overrule any decisions by the Board of Directors, (3) create or imply any additional fiduciary duty on the part of the Board of Directors, or (4) restrict or limit the ability of stockholders to make proposals for inclusion in proxy materials related to executive compensation. If you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may not vote with respect to this proposal. For your vote to be counted, you must submit your voting instructions to your broker or custodian.

***Ratify Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for 2026.*** The affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, at the Annual Meeting is required to ratify the Audit Committee's appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2026. Even if you do not instruct your broker how to vote with respect to this item, your broker may vote your shares with respect to this proposal.

***Other Items.*** If any other items are properly presented at the Annual Meeting, they must receive an affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present and entitled to vote, in person or by proxy, in order to be approved.

### Revocation of Proxy or Voting Instruction Form
Revocation of Newmont Proxy or Voting Instruction Form. A stockholder who executes a proxy or Voting Instruction Form ("VIF") may revoke it by delivering to the Secretary of the Company, at any time before the proxies are voted, a written notice of revocation bearing a later date than the proxy or VIF. Holders of common stock may revoke it or by attending the Annual Meeting online and by

2026 Proxy Statement 107

[**Table of Contents**](#TOC)

General Information

voting during the Annual Meeting (although virtual attendance at the Annual Meeting will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of a proxy). A stockholder also may substitute another person in place of those persons presently named as proxies. Written notice revoking or revising a proxy should be sent to the attention of the Corporate Secretary (attention: Logan Hennessey), Newmont Corporation, at 6900 E. Layton Avenue, Suite 700, Denver, Colorado 80237 USA.

### Solicitation Costs
The cost of preparing and mailing the proxy materials, and the cost of solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board of Directors will be borne by the Company. In addition, solicitation of proxies and Voting Instruction Forms may be made by certain officers and employees of the Company by mail, telephone or in person. The Company has retained MacKenzie Partners Inc. to aid in the solicitation of brokers, banks, intermediaries and other institutional holders for a fee of $18,500. The Company also will reimburse brokerage firms and others for their expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of common stock.

### Eliminating Duplicate Mailings — Householding
To reduce the expense of delivering duplicate proxy materials to our stockholders, we are relying on the SEC rules that permit us to deliver only one set of proxy materials, including our Proxy Statement, our 2025 Annual Report and the Notice, to multiple stockholders who share an address unless we receive contrary instructions from any stockholders at that address. This practice, known as "householding," reduces duplicate mailings, thus saving printing and postage costs as well as natural resources. Each stockholder retains a separate right to vote on all matters presented at the Annual Meeting. Once you have received notice from your broker or us that they or we will be householding materials to your address, householding will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at any time, you wish to receive a separate copy of the 2025 Annual Report or other proxy materials, free of charge, or if you wish to receive separate copies of future annual reports or proxy materials, please mail your request to the Corporate Secretary of the Company.

### Voting Results
The results of the voting at the Annual Meeting will be reported on Form 8-K and filed with the SEC within four business days after the end of the meeting.

### Date for Receipt of Stockholder Proposals
Pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, stockholders may present appropriate proposals for inclusion in our proxy statement and for consideration at our annual meeting of stockholders by submitting their proposals to us in a timely manner. For a stockholder proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement for our 2027 Annual Meeting, the proposal must be received by our Corporate Secretary no later than December 1, 2026 (120 days before the anniversary of the date this proxy statement was sent to stockholders), and must comply with the requirements of Rule 14a-8. Any stockholder proposal received after December 1, 2026, will not be considered for inclusion in our 2026 Proxy Statement.

### Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Non-GAAP financial measures are intended to provide additional information only and do not have any standard meaning prescribed by GAAP. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. Unless otherwise noted, we present the Non-GAAP financial measures of our continuing operations in the tables below. For additional information regarding our discontinued operations, refer to Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2026 (the "2025 Form 10-K"), available on Newmont.com and the SEC's website.

The reader is reminded that references to the Notes to the Financial Statements or "our Consolidated Financial Statements" below refers to the Consolidated Financial Statements contained in Newmont Corporation's 2025 Form 10-K.

#### Adjusted Net Income (Loss)
Management uses Adjusted net income (loss) to evaluate the Company's operating performance and for planning and forecasting future business operations. The Company believes the use of Adjusted net income (loss) allows investors and analysts to understand the results of the continuing operations of the Company and its direct and indirect subsidiaries relating to the sale of products, by excluding certain items that have a disproportionate impact on our results for a particular period. Adjustments to continuing operations are presented before tax and net of our partners' noncontrolling interests, when applicable. The tax effect of adjustments is presented in the Tax effect of adjustments line and is calculated using the applicable tax rate. Management's determination of the components of Adjusted net income (loss) are evaluated periodically and based, in part, on a review of non-GAAP financial measures

#### Free Cash Flow
Management uses Free cash flow as a non-GAAP measure to analyze cash flows generated from operations after capital expenditures. Free cash flow is Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities less Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities of discontinued operations less Additions to property, plant, and mine development as presented on the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company believes Free cash flow is also useful as one of the bases for comparing the Company's performance with its competitors. Although Free cash flow and similar measures are frequently used as measures of cash flows generated from operations by other companies, the Company's calculation of Free cash flow is not necessarily comparable to such other similarly titled captions of other companies.

The presentation of non-GAAP Free cash flow is not meant to be considered in isolation or as an alternative to net income as an indicator of the Company's performance, or as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities as a measure of liquidity as those terms are defined by GAAP, and does not necessarily indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. The Company's definition of Free cash flow is limited in that it does not represent residual cash flows available for discretionary expenditures due to the fact that the measure does not deduct the payments required for debt service and other contractual obligations or payments made for business acquisitions. Therefore, the Company believes it is important to view Free cash flow as a measure that provides supplemental information to the Company's Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of Free cash flow, a non-GAAP financial measure, to *Net cash provided by (used in) operating activities*, which the Company believes to be the GAAP financial measure most directly comparable to Free cash flow, as well as information regarding *Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities* and *Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities.*

(1) *Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities* includes *Additions to property, plant and mine development*, which is included in the Company's computation of Free cash flow.

#### Net Debt
Management uses Net Debt to measure the Company's liquidity and financial position. Net Debt is calculated as *Debt* and *Lease and other financing obligations* less *Cash and cash equivalents*, as presented on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. *Cash and cash equivalents* are subtracted from *Debt* and *Lease and other financing obligations* as these could be used to reduce the Company's debt obligations. The Company believes the use of Net Debt allows investors and others to evaluate financial flexibility and strength of the Company's balance sheet. Net Debt is intended to provide additional information only and does not have any standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for measures of liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other companies may calculate this measure differently.

### Cautionary Statements and Endnotes — Annex A-2
**Note Regarding Reserves:** 

Newmont's reserves estimates were prepared in compliance with Subpart 1300 of Regulation S-K adopted by the SEC and represent the amount of gold, copper, silver, lead, zinc, and molybdenum estimated, at December 31, 2025, could be economically and legally extracted or produced at the time of the reserve determination. The term "economically," as used in this definition, means that profitable extraction or production has been established or analytically demonstrated in at a minimum, a pre-feasibility study to be viable and justifiable under reasonable investment and market assumptions. The term "legally," as used in this definition, does not imply that all permits needed for mining and processing have been obtained or that other legal issues have been completely resolved. However, for a reserve to exist, Newmont (or our joint venture partners) must have a justifiable expectation, based on applicable laws and regulations, that issuance of permits or resolution of legal issues necessary for mining and processing at a particular deposit will be accomplished in the ordinary course of business and in a timeframe consistent with Newmont's (or our joint venture partner's) current mine plans. Reserves in this presentation are aggregated from the proven and probable classes. The term "Proven reserves" used in the tables of the appendix means reserves for which (a) quantity is estimated from dimensions revealed in outcrops, trenches, workings or drill holes; (b) grade and/or quality are estimated from the results of detailed sampling; and (c) the sites for inspection, sampling and measurements are spaced so closely and the geologic character is sufficiently defined that size, shape, depth and mineral content of reserves are well established. The term "Probable reserves" means reserves for which quantity and grade are estimated from information similar to that used for Proven reserves, but the sites for sampling are farther apart or are otherwise less closely spaced. The degree of assurance, although lower than that for Proven reserves, is high enough to assume continuity between points of observation. Newmont classifies all reserves as Probable on its development projects until a year of production has confirmed all assumptions made in the reserve estimates. Proven and Probable reserves include gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead, or molybdenum attributable to Newmont's ownership or economic interest. Proven and Probable reserves were calculated using cut-off grades. The term "cutoff grade" means the lowest grade of mineralized material considered economic to process. Cut-off grades vary between deposits depending upon prevailing economic conditions, mineability of the deposit, by- products, amenability of the ore to gold, copper, silver, zinc, lead, or molybdenum extraction and type of milling or leaching facilities available.

Estimates of Proven and Probable reserves are subject to uncertainty. Such estimates are, or will be, to a large extent, based on the prices of gold, silver, copper, zinc, lead, and molybdenum and interpretations of geologic data obtained from drill holes and other exploration techniques, which data may not necessarily be indicative of future results. If our reserve estimations are required to be revised using significantly lower gold, silver, zinc, copper, lead, and molybdenum prices as a result of a decrease in commodity prices, increases in operating costs, reductions in metallurgical recovery or other modifying factors, this could result in material write-downs of our investment in mining properties, goodwill and increased amortization, reclamation and closure charges. Producers use pre-feasibility and feasibility studies for undeveloped ore bodies to derive estimates of capital and operating costs based upon anticipated tonnage and grades of ore to be mined and processed, the predicted configuration of the ore body, expected recovery rates of metals from the ore, the costs of comparable facilities, the costs of operating and processing equipment and other factors. Actual operating and capital cost and economic returns on projects may differ significantly from original estimates. Further, it may take many years from the initial phases of exploration until commencement of production, during which time, the economic feasibility of production may change.

For additional information see the "Proven and Probable Reserve" tables, in the Company's Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025.

**Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements:** Forward-looking statements may appear in this proxy statement. Certain statements, other than purely historical information, including estimates, projections, statements relating to our plans, objectives and expected results, and the assumptions upon which those statements are based, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These forward-looking statements generally are identified by the words "believe," "project," "expect," "anticipate," "estimate," "intend," "strategy," "future," "opportunity," "plan," "target," "may," "should," "will," "would," "will be," "will continue," "will likely result," and similar expressions. Forward-looking statements in this proxy statement may include, without limitation, estimates of outlook, including expected financial and operating results, expectations regarding CSC/GEO, initiative targets

Annex A

(including STIP metrics), project execution, cost reduction programs, future dividends, share repurchases and other future events. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and assumptions that are subject to risks and uncertainties which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements. A detailed discussion of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results and events to differ materially from such forward-looking statements is included in the section titled "Risk Factors" of our Form 10-K for the year-ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC, available on the SEC website or www.newmont.com. The Company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements.

**Note Regarding Share Repurchase Program**. Investors are also cautioned that the extent to which the Company repurchases its shares, and the timing of such repurchases, will depend upon a variety of factors, including trading volume, market conditions, legal requirements, business conditions, and other factors. The repurchase program may be discontinued at any time, and the program does not obligate the Company to acquire any specific number of shares of its common stock or to repurchase the full authorized amount. Consequently, the Board of Directors may revise or terminate such share repurchase authorization in the future.

**Note Regarding Climate Aspirations and GHG Emissions Targets.** Related aspirations, targets and expectations are forward-looking statements. Our ability to meet our climate strategy goals and aspirations, including our Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions targets, is subject to numerous risks and uncertainties and relies on, among other things, our ability to invest in emissions reduction projects, our ability to implement operational changes and the availability of technology to achieve such commitments and goals. In addition, our ability to achieve our Scope 3 emissions targets remains uncertain and subject to the actions of entities not within our control. There is also a risk that some or all of the expected benefits of achieving such targets and goals may fail to materialize within our anticipated time frames or at all. Our targets are unique to our business, operations and capabilities, which do not easily lend to benchmarking against similar sustainability performance targets, and the related performance, of other companies. We continue to review and revise our approach, and our targets may be further adjusted to align with future updates to our approach. Newmont's emission calculation methodology framework dictates that any change of 5% resulting from divestitures or acquisitions requires recalculation of baseline data. The acquisition of Newcrest Mining Limited in late 2023 required that we recalculate the target baseline years and trailing years GHG emissions data pursuant to our publicly disclosed greenhouse gas emissions calculation methodology framework. Additional rebaselining was required to reflect Newmont's portfolio following the sale of non-core operating assets in 2025 and may be required again in the future. We are continuing to review our targets and roadmap which may result in additional adjustments in the future. Additionally, the methodologies that we use to calculate our Scope 1, Scope 2 and Scope 3 GHG emissions may change over time based upon changing industry standards, which may impact, positively or negatively, our ability to satisfy our targets, which could in turn adversely affect our reputation. Any major acquisition, merger, consolidation or divestiture or any series of related acquisitions, mergers, consolidations or divestitures, by or involving us, may also impact our ability to achieve our targets and commitments.
