THIS ANNOUNCEMENT CONTAINS INSIDE INFORMATION

Competition Appeal Court upholds the South African Competition Tribunal’s approval of the
Lonmin Transaction

Johannesburg, 17 May 2019: Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SGL and NYSE: SBGL) and Lonmin Plc (Tickers
JSE: LON and LSE: LMI) (“Lonmin”) are pleased to announce that the Competition Appeal Court of
South Africa (the “CACSA”) has today delivered its judgment on the appeal filed with the CACSA by
the Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (“AMCU”). The CACSA dismissed AMCU’s
appeal with costs, and has therefore upheld the South African Competition Tribunal’s decision of 21
November 2018, to approve the Offer subject to certain specific conditions, including one minor
amendment which clarifies the measure used as part of the investigation and implementation of
certain mining projects, but does not change the overall conditions. The specific conditions were
included in the announcement by Sibanye-Stillwater on 21 November 2018 and are summarised in the
Sibanye-Stillwater Circular and the Lonmin Scheme Circular (each as defined below).

Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin remain fully committed to the Offer.

Neal Froneman CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater commented: “We are pleased that the Competition Appeal
Court has upheld the decision of the Competition Tribunal. We are confident that the integration of
Lonmin’s PGM assets and Sibanye-Stillwater’s adjacent PGM operations will ensure a more sustainable
and positive future for these assets. We believe that the Transaction continues to be in the best interest
of all stakeholders."

Ben Magara, CEO of Lonmin commented: “We welcome this decision as it clears the way towards the
shareholder votes on 28 May. The combination creates a larger and more diversified company which
we believe is in the best interest of Lonmin shareholders and other stakeholders.”

The Transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of the conditions set
out in the announcement of the Transaction by Lonmin and Sibanye-Stillwater on 14 December 2017
and in the scheme circular published by Lonmin on 25 April 2019 (the “Lonmin Scheme Circular”). Such
