FM · Price

Executive Summary

  • First Quantum Minerals Ltd. has launched a cash tender offer to repurchase all outstanding 6.875 % senior notes due 2027.
  • The offer expires at 5 p.m. ET on August 12, 2025 (subject to extension) and will be settled in U.S. dollars based on a fixed spread plus the yield of a designated U.S. Treasury reference security.
  • Proceeds from a planned new senior‑note issuance are intended to fund the tender purchase and redeem any notes not tendered; completion is contingent on satisfying financing conditions.

Key Details

  • Tender Offer Scope: All outstanding 6.875 % senior notes due 2027 (principal amount $1,000 per note).
  • Expiration: 5 p.m. ET, August 12, 2025 (may be extended at the company’s discretion).
  • Pricing Mechanism: Cash consideration calculated using a fixed spread plus the yield of the Bloomberg‑referenced U.S. Treasury security as of the “price determination date” (2 p.m. ET on that day).
  • Accrued Interest: Holders will receive accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date. No interest accrues after settlement.
  • Withdrawal Rights: Notes may be withdrawn at any time prior to expiration; withdrawals submitted after the deadline are invalid.
  • Redemption Plan: Subject to financing conditions, First Quantum intends to redeem any non‑tendered notes on or after October 15, 2025 at 100 % of principal plus accrued interest.
  • Financing Contingency: The tender is part of a broader refinancing strategy; the company expects to issue new senior notes (terms to be determined) whose proceeds will fund both the tender purchase and any required redemptions. No guarantee that the new issuance will occur or meet conditions.
  • Dealer Managers: J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp., and Société Générale are acting as dealer managers for the offer. Contact information provided for each.
  • Regulatory Notices: The announcement does not constitute a notice of redemption; all actions remain subject to applicable laws, indenture provisions, and satisfaction or waiver of listed conditions.
