On February 14, 2023, Newmont Corporation (the "Company" or "Newmont") announced that Natascha Viljoen will join the Company's Executive Leadership Team as Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer upon completion of her notice period of up to 12 months. Ms. Viljoen, age 52, is a seasoned industry leader with over 30 years of experience across a diverse range of commodities. She has served as the Chief Executive Officer of Anglo American's platinum business in South Africa since 2020, a role including responsibility for managing a team of more than 25,000 employees and six owned and joint venture mining operations with an integrated value chain and down-stream processing across two countries. Prior to that role, Ms. Viljoen held a series of operating and technical positions within the organization, including as Group Head of Processing. Prior to joining Anglo American, she spent six years at Lonmin, where she served on the executive committee as Executive Vice President of Processing, also with responsibility for several wider corporate functions, including sustainability. Ms. Viljoen is a metallurgical engineer and holds a Bachelor of Engineering from North West University in South Africa and an Executive MBA from the University of Cape Town, South Africa.

Upon completion of the notice period and a planful transition at a date to be subsequently determined by the Company, Rob Atkinson, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, will transition from his current role into a new executive leadership role, reporting directly to Newmont's President and Chief Executive Officer, focused on driving strategic initiatives to strengthen Newmont's responsible gold leadership position.

In the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer position with the Company, Ms. Viljoen will have a base salary of $850,000, and be eligible for annual short-term incentives (cash bonus) and long term incentives (equity bonus) pursuant to the terms of the Senior Executive Compensation Program of the Company at the E3 level. Ms. Viljoen's cash bonus incentives and long-term incentives will be delivered according to the Company's incentive programs as described in the Company's most recent Annual Proxy Statement filed with the SEC. For Ms. Viljoen, the long-term equity bonus incentives include both Performance-Leveraged Stock Units ("PSUs") at target level of 252% of base salary and Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs") at target level of 126% of base salary. The PSU and RSU awards will be delivered according to the terms of the Company's Senior Executive Compensation Program. Ms. Viljoen will be eligible for other executive benefits as described in the Company's Annual Proxy Statement, and will also be eligible for the Executive Change of Control Plan and the Executive Severance Plan of the Company. She will also receive a relocation benefits and tax consultation benefits associated with her relocation. It is expected that Ms. Viljoen will also receive sign-on compensation to address compensation forfeited due to her departure from her previous employer, which, once finalized, will be disclosed by the Company in a subsequent filing. There is no other arrangement or understanding between Ms. Viljoen and any other persons pursuant to which she will be appointed as the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Ms. Viljoen does not have a family relationship with any member of the Board of Directors or any executive officer of the Company, and Ms. Viljoen has not been a participant or had any interest in any transaction with the Company that is reportable under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
