YAMANA GOLD INC. (TSX:YRI; NYSE:AUY; LSE:AUY) (“Yamana”
or the “Company”) today announced that it has priced an offering of
US$500 million aggregate principal amount of its 2.630% Senior
Notes due August 15, 2031. The notes will be unsecured, senior
obligations of Yamana and will be unconditionally guaranteed by
certain of Yamana’s subsidiaries that are also guarantors under
Yamana’s credit facility. The offering is expected to close on
August 6, 2021. Yamana intends to use the net proceeds from the
offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the redemptions of
its 4.76% Series C Senior Notes due 2022, its 4.91% Series D Senior
Notes due 2024, its 4.78% Series B Senior Notes due 2023 and its
4.950% Senior Notes due 2024 thereby reducing its overall
outstanding debt, reducing overall interest and carrying charges on
outstanding debt and extending outstanding debt maturities.
The Senior Notes and the related guarantees have
not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as
amended (the “Securities Act”), and may not be offered or sold in
the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption
from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Offers
and sales in Canada will be made only pursuant to exemptions from
the prospectus requirements of applicable Canadian provincial or
territorial securities laws. This news release does not constitute
an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
security in the United States or in any other jurisdiction.
