In related news, Newmont faced two complaints, one of which alleged that a proxy statement related to the issuance of Newmont shares to Newcrest Mining shareholders contained misrepresentations and omissions of material information concerning the transaction. Newmont filed a proxy statement with the US Securities and Exchange Commission in September for a special meeting of shareholders, which included the share issuance proposal as part of the Newcrest deal. On Wednesday, Newmont asserted that it believes the allegations have no merit. However, to mitigate any potential risks or uncertainties that these complaints may pose to the transaction, the company issued supplemental information without admitting any liability or wrongdoing. It's worth noting that the plaintiffs in the complaints have agreed that their claims are moot and will voluntarily cease their efforts in exchange for the filed supplemental disclosures.
