style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">On March 16, 2015, an Addendum to the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release (the &#8220;Addendum&#8221;) was entered into with respect to the consolidated stockholder derivative litigation captioned </font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;text-decoration:underline;">In Re: Freeport-McMoRan Copper &amp; Gold Inc. Derivative Litigation</font><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">, C.A. No. 8145-VCN. The Addendum modifies the terms of the settlement in order to resolve potential derivative claims against Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC in connection with its engagement to act as lead financial advisor to the Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Freeport-McMoRan Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) with respect to the Company&#8217;s 2013 acquisitions of Plains Exploration &amp; Production Company and McMoRan Exploration Co., which potential claims were previously excluded from the settlement as set forth in the Stipulation and Agreement of Settlement, Compromise and Release filed on January 15, 2015. As set forth in the Addendum, the original settlement consideration will be increased by $16.25 million, consisting of a $10.0 million cash payment (the &#8220;Supplemental Cash Amount&#8221;) to the Company by Credit Suisse, and a credit of $6.25 million to be redeemable by the Company in connection with future assignments Credit Suisse performs. The Supplemental Cash Amount, together with the original settlement amount, less plaintiffs&#8217; attorneys&#8217; fees and expenses as awarded by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, will be distributed to the Company&#8217;s stockholders as a special dividend. The settlement is subject to specified conditions, including final approval by the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. The settling defendants and Credit Suisse vigorously deny all allegations of wrongdoing or fault but entered into the settlement to avoid the costs and distraction of continued litigation.</font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;"><br></font></div><div style="line-height:120%;text-align:left;font-size:10pt;"><font style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">In connection with the Addendum, the Supplemental Scheduling Order dated March 17, 2015, requires the Company to file a copy of the Supplemental Notice of Pendency of Derivative Action, Proposed Settlement of Derivative Action, Settlement Hearing and Right to Appear (the &#8220;Supplemental Notice&#8221;) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

That amount did not include an award of attorneys&#8217; fees and litigation expenses for Plaintiffs&#8217; efforts in settling the Credit Suisse Claims.

Freeport may oppose the amount of any such application Plaintiffs&#8217; Counsel may make, but Freeport, the Settling Defendants, and Credit Suisse acknowledge that under existing law Plaintiffs&#8217; Counsel have a claim for reasonable attorneys&#8217; fees, and reimbursement of reasonable and necessary expenses incurred by Plaintiffs&#8217; Counsel, for their efforts in prosecuting the Action and settling the Credit Suisse Claims.
