On April 14, 2022 (Indonesia time), PT Freeport Indonesia ("PT-FI"), a 48.76 percent-owned subsidiary of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. ("FCX") and limited liability company organized under the laws of the Republic of Indonesia, announced the completion of its previously announced offering (the "Notes Offering") of US$3.0 billion of senior notes, including US$750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.763% senior notes due 2027 (the "2027 Notes"), US$1.5 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.315% senior notes due 2032 (the "2032 Notes") and US$750.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.200% senior notes due 2052 (the "2052 Notes", together with the 2027 Notes and the 2032 Notes, the "Notes"). PT-FI intends to use the net proceeds from the Notes Offering to finance its smelter projects, refinancing and for general corporate purposes. The Notes will be unsecured obligations of PT-FI and will be included in FCX's consolidated debt.
The Notes have been offered (i) in the United States to persons reasonably believed by the initial purchasers to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act") and (ii) outside the United States in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any other jurisdiction, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration requirements.
The Notes may not be offered or sold (i) in Indonesia to Indonesian citizens or residents or foreign parties, or (ii) outside Indonesia to Indonesian citizens wherever they are domiciled, or to Indonesian residents, in a manner which constitutes a public offering of the securities under Indonesian Law No. 8 of 1995 on Capital Markets and its implementing regulations, or a private placement of the securities under the OJK Regulation No. 30/POJK.04/2019 on the Issuance of Debt Securities and/or Sukuk without a Public Offering. PT-FI does not intend to register any portion of the Notes Offering in Indonesia or to conduct a public offering of the Notes in Indonesia.
This Current Report on Form 8-K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase any securities, nor shall there be a sale of the securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
