PROPOSED PLACING OF NEW ORDINARY SHARES

9 April 2019

Sibanye-Stillwater announces its intention to conduct a non pre-emptive cash placing
of new ordinary no par value shares in the authorized but unissued share capital of the
Company (the "Placing Shares") to certain institutional investors (the “Placing”), of up to
108,932,356 shares, which represents approximately 5 per cent of the Company’s
existing issued ordinary share capital base which is the maximum authorized issuance
under current authorities. As at the date of this announcement, gross proceeds will

amount to approximately ZAR1.8 billion / US$130 million, based on the closing share
price as at 9 April 2019.

The Placing is being conducted through an accelerated bookbuild process (the
“Bookbuild”), which will be launched immediately following this announcement. J.P.
Morgan Securities plc (the “Manager”) is acting as Sole Bookrunner in respect of the
Placing.

Rationale

Consistent with our three-year strategic goals, proactive steps to address our balance
sheet leverage were taken during 2018, with US$400 million of the US$500 million stream
transaction successfully applied towards reducing long term debt. Significant progress
on our deleveraging strategy was however delayed by the sharp decline in adjusted
EBITDA from our SA gold operations in 2018.

The safety related and other operational disruptions which severely impacted
production from the SA gold operations in H1 2018 were compounded by the AMCU
strike, which began on 21 November 2018, resulting in adjusted EBITDA from the SA gold
operations for FY 2018, declining by 75% relative to FY 2017. Whilst the economic
backdrop has improved significantly in 2019, with elevated PGM basket prices forecast
to drive our covenant leverage ratios lower and measurably improve Group liquidity,
the ongoing strike at the SA gold operations and the commencement of upcoming SA
PGM wage negotiations at the end of Q2 2019, pose potential operational risks that
require due consideration.

In order to ensure that any potential upcoming events can be negotiated in a
strategically appropriate manner, as well as to favorably position the Group for any
unforeseen external macro-economic downside risks during this period, management

deems it prudent to ensure sufficient financial flexibility for the Group through the
proposed Placing.

The net proceeds from the Placing will enhance balance sheet flexibility and ensure
that Group leverage is appropriately reduced. Management has confirmed that should
these uncertain events be successfully navigated and appropriate gearing levels
maintained, the resumption of dividend payments, in line with the existing dividend
policy, are anticipated. Post transaction, assuming net proceeds to the Company from
the Placing of ZAR1.8 billion, the leverage of the Company is expected to reduce by
0.2x Net debt / adjusted EBITDA, from c.2.5x as at 31 December 2018, to c.2.3x pro
forma Net debt / adjusted EBITDA.

Quarter 1 2019 update

Attributable production from the South African PGM Operations is estimated to be
approximately 234,000 4Eoz and in line with annual guidance. For Rustenburg,
production includes ounces contained in concentrate that was delivered during Q1 for
toll treatment. Delivery of refined metals is only expected during Q2 2019.

The US PGM operations experienced a slower than planned start to the year producing
an estimated 131,000 2Eoz, with lower production volumes resulting in temporarily
elevated costs. Sales however, were in line with plan. Production is planned to return to

normal levels from Q2 and full year production guidance remains unchanged.

Following the commissioning of the second furnace (EF2) at the Columbus Metallurgical
Complex, throughput at the smelter improved, resulting in a drawdown of recycling
metal inventories. The recycling division is expected to average 23.0 tonnes of feed

material per day in the first quarter of 2019, compared to an average feed rate of 22.0
tonnes per day in 2018.

Gold production during Q1 2019 was negatively impacted by the ongoing AMCU strike
and is expected to be approximately 104,000oz, 90% of what was planned under strike

conditions, and 36% of production levels relative to the same period in 2018. Unit
operating and all in sustaining costs will be negatively impacted by the reduced
production levels.

Details of the Placing

The Placing will be made outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S
(“Regulation S”) under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”)
to persons who are not U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S), and within the United
States only to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers within the
meaning of Rule 144A under the Securities Act in transactions exempt from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. No American Depositary Shares
representing ordinary shares of the Company are being offered in the Placing. In South
Africa, the Placing will be made only by way of separate private placements to: (i)
selected persons falling within one of the specified categories listed in section 96(1)(a)
of the South African Companies Act, 2008 ("South African Companies Act"); and (ii)
selected persons, acting as principal, acquiring Placing Shares for a total acquisition

cost of R1,000,000 or more, as contemplated in section 96(1)(b) of the South African
Companies Act ("South African Qualifying Investors").

The Placing Shares will be issued by the Company under and in accordance with its
existing general authority to issue shares for cash, granted by shareholders at the 2018
annual general meeting of the Company (the “General Authority”) and will be issued
only to public shareholders in accordance with the General Authority.

The price per ordinary share at which the Placing Shares will be placed (the "Placing
Price") will be decided at the close of the Bookbuild. The timing of the closing of the
Bookbuild, the Placing Price and allocations are at the discretion of the Company and
the Sole Bookrunner. The Placing Price will be announced as soon as practicable on the
Stock Exchange News Service of the exchange operated by the JSE Limited ("JSE") after
the close of the Bookbuild.

The Placing Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects
with the existing ordinary shares in the issued share capital of the Company, including
the right to receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after
the date of issue of the Placing Shares.

Subject to the approval by the JSE, listing and trading of the Placing Shares on the JSE
("Admission") is expected to commence at 09h00 Monday, 15 April 2019 (or such other

time and/or date as may be agreed between the Company and the Sole Bookrunner).
Investors will receive Placing Shares which are listed and trading on the JSE.

Placing Shares purchased in the Placing may not be deposited into the Company’s
American Depositary Share program until at least 40 days after closing of the Placing.

Pursuant to the terms of the placing agreement entered with the Manager, Sibanye-
Stillwater has agreed, subject to certain exclusions, to a lock-up arrangement in respect

of Sibanye-Stillwater’s equity securities for a period of 120 days from the date of the
Placing.

The Placing Shares to be issued pursuant to the Placing will not be admitted to trading

Persons who are invited to and who choose to participate in the Placing by making an
offer to take up Placing Shares, will be deemed to have read and understood this
Announcement in its entirety and to be making such offer on the terms and conditions,
and to be providing the representations, warranties, acknowledgements and
undertakings, contained herein. Each such placee represents, warrants and
acknowledges that it is a person eligible to purchase or subscribe for the Placing Shares
in compliance with the restrictions set forth herein and applicable laws and regulations
in its home jurisdiction and in the jurisdiction (if different) in which it is physically resident.
Unless otherwise agreed in writing, each placee represents, warrants and acknowledges
that it is (a) not located in, a resident of, or physically present in, the United States,
Canada, Australia, Japan or any other jurisdiction in which the offer or sale of the Placing
Shares to such placee would be unlawful or would require registration or other measures,
and it is not acting on behalf of someone who is located in, a resident of, or physically
present in, the United States, Canada, Australia, Japan or any such other jurisdiction and
(b) not a U.S. person (as that term is defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) or
purchasing for the account or benefit of a U.S. person (other than a distributor).

Information to Distributors

Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU
Directive 2014/65/EU on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II”); (b)
Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID
II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the “MiFID II Product Governance
Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or
otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product
Governance Requirements) may otherwise have with respect thereto, the Placing Shares
have been subject to a product approval process, which has determined that such

securities are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and investors
who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined
in MiFID II; and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted
by MiFID II (the “Target Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market
Assessment, distributors should note that: the price of the Placing Shares may decline and
investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Placing Shares offer no guaranteed
income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Placing Shares is compatible
only with investors who do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who
(either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate financial or other adviser) are
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have sufficient
resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market
Assessment is without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or
regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the Placing. Furthermore, it is noted that,
notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, the Manager will only procure investors
who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties.

For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an
assessment of suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a
recommendation to any investor or group of investors to invest in, or purchase, or take
any other action whatsoever with respect to the Placing Shares.

Each distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect
of the Placing Shares and determining appropriate distribution channels.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THE FOREGOING, NO PUBLIC OFFERING OF THE
PLACING SHARES IS BEING MADE BY ANY PERSON ANYWHERE AND THE COMPANY HAS
NOT AUTHORISED OR CONSENTED TO ANY SUCH OFFERING IN RELATION TO THE
PLACING SHARES.
