The Tender Offer

The Tender Offer commenced on September 29, 2015. Barrick, Barrick North America Finance LLC and Barrick (PD) Australia Finance Pty Ltd (together, the “Offerors”) offered to purchase for cash the series of Notes set out in the tables below for an aggregate purchase price (including principal and premium) of up to $850,000,000 (the “Maximum Tender Amount”), plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes from the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including, the Settlement Date (as defined below). The amount of a series of Notes accepted for purchase in the Tender Offer was based on the order of priority (the “Acceptance Priority Level”) for such series of Notes as set forth in the tables below, with 1 being the highest Acceptance Priority Level and 7 being the lowest Acceptance Priority Level. In addition, the aggregate principal amount relating to the offer to purchase the series of Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 2 (the “Priority 2 Notes”) was limited to $275,000,000 (such principal amount, the “Priority 2 Tender Cap”). Since the purchase of all of the Notes with Acceptance Priority Level 3 validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would result in an aggregate purchase price that would exceed the Maximum Tender Amount, the amount of Notes purchased in such series was prorated using the procedure more fully described in the Offer to Purchase. In addition, since the aggregate principal amount of Priority 2 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn exceeded the Priority 2 Tender Cap, the amount of Priority 2 Notes purchased was prorated using the procedure more fully described in the Offer to Purchase.

The following table presents the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn that the applicable Offeror has accepted for purchase, including (i) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes validly tendered after 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on October 13, 2015 (the “Early Tender Date”) as of midnight, New York City time, on October 27, 2015 (the “Expiration Date”), and not validly withdrawn, for each such series of Notes and (ii) the aggregate principal amount of such Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn as of the Expiration Date for each such series of Notes, in each case as provided by the Depositary.

The amount of each series of Notes accepted for purchase was determined under the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer as set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal. The consideration for the Notes accepted for purchase will be paid today, October 28, 2015 (the “Settlement Date”). Holders of Notes accepted for purchase that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Date will receive the applicable “Total Consideration”, which includes an early tender premium of $30.00 per $1,000 of principal amount of Notes accepted for purchase (the “Early Tender Premium”). Holders of Notes accepted for purchase that were validly tendered after the Early Tender Date, but at or prior to the Expiration Date, and not validly withdrawn, will receive only the applicable “Tender Offer Consideration”, which is an amount equal to the applicable Total Consideration minus the Early Tender Premium. The Tender Offer Consideration and Total Consideration for each series per $1,000 principal amount of Notes was announced by Barrick on October 14, 2015.

In addition to the Tender Offer Consideration or the Total Consideration, as applicable, holders of Notes accepted for purchase will receive accrued and unpaid interest on such Notes from the last applicable interest payment date up to, but not including, the Settlement Date.

The following table presents the aggregate principal amount of Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn that the applicable Offeror has not accepted for purchase.

Notes not accepted for purchase have been or will be promptly returned to the tendering holder (or, if tendered through The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), have been or will be promptly credited to the relevant account at DTC, in accordance with DTC’s procedures).
