MEDIA RELEASE
Gold Fields Sells Stake in Eldorado Gold
for CAD323 Million
Johannesburg, 4 September 2009: Gold Fields Limited (Gold
Fields) (JSE, NYSE, NASDAQ Dubai: GFI) is pleased to announce
that it has disposed of its holding in Eldorado Gold Corporation
(Eldorado). Gold Fields disposed of 27,824,654 Eldorado shares at
CAD11,61 per share for a total consideration of CAD323 million
(approximately US$293 million*).
This share disposal does not impact Gold Fields’ top-up right as
negotiated with Eldorado in connection with the sale to Eldorado of its
19,9% stake in Sino Gold Mining Limited (Sino Gold). If Eldorado
acquires in any manner an additional 5% or more of the shares of
Sino Gold during the 18 months ending in early December 2010,
Gold Fields will receive a top-up should a higher price be paid in that
transaction than the original consideration of 48 Eldorado shares for
every 100 Sino Gold shares.
The proceeds of this disposal will be used for debt repayments.
