Response to press speculation and no increase statement of the proposed Lonmin acquisition

Johannesburg, 20 May 2019. On 25 April 2019, Lonmin and Sibanye-Stillwater announced
that they had reached agreement on the terms of an increased recommended all-share offer

to be made by Sibanye-Stillwater for the entire issued and to be issued ordinary share
capital of Lonmin (the “Increased Offer”). Under the terms of the Increased Offer, Lonmin

Shareholders will be entitled to receive for each Lonmin Share one New Sibanye-Stillwater

Share.

Earlier today Sibanye-Stillwater and Lonmin jointly announced that the Competition Appeal

Court of South Africa (the "CACSA") has dismissed the appeal by the Association of

Mineworkers and Construction Union ("AMCU") with costs, and has therefore upheld the

South African Competition Tribunal's decision of 21 November 2018, approving the Offer

subject to certain specific conditions.

Sibanye-Stillwater notes the press speculation today regarding the terms of its Increased

Offer, and, as a result and in accordance with the UK Takeover Code, confirms that the

Increased Offer is final and will not be increased.

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 conditions include, amongst others, the

approvals of Lonmin and Sibanye-Stillwater shareholders and sanction by the courts of

England and Wales.

Sibanye-Stillwater reserves the right to set aside the no increase statement if a

competitive situation arises under the circumstances prescribed by Note 3 under Rule 32.2

of the UK Takeover Code.

Defined terms used but not defined in this announcement have the meanings set out in the

Lonmin Scheme Circular.

For more information on the proposed acquisition of Lonmin by Sibanye-Stillwater, please

refer to https://www.sibanyestillwater.com/investors/transactions/lonmin.

Ends.

Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code

Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Code, any person who is interested in 1% or more of any class of
relevant securities of an offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror (being any
offeror other than an offeror in respect of which it has been announced that its offer is,
or is likely to be, solely in cash) must make an Opening Position Disclosure following the
commencement of the offer period and, if later, following the announcement in which any
securities exchange offeror is first identified. An Opening Position Disclosure must

contain details of the person’s interests and short positions in, and rights to subscribe
for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company and (ii) any securities
exchange offeror(s). An Opening Position Disclosure by a person to whom Rule 8.3(a) applies
must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the 10th business day following the
commencement of the offer period and, if appropriate, by no later than 3.30 pm (London
time) on the 10th business day following the announcement in which any securities exchange
offeror is first identified. Relevant persons who deal in the relevant securities of the
offeree company or of a securities exchange offeror prior to the deadline for making an
Opening Position Disclosure must instead make a Dealing Disclosure.

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of
any class of relevant securities of the offeree company or of any securities exchange
offeror must make a Dealing Disclosure if the person deals in any relevant securities of
the offeree company or of any securities exchange offeror. A Dealing Disclosure must
contain details of the dealing concerned and of the person’s interests and short positions
in, and rights to subscribe for, any relevant securities of each of (i) the offeree company
and (ii) any securities exchange offeror, save to the extent that these details have
previously been disclosed under Rule 8. A Dealing Disclosure by a person to whom Rule
8.3(b) applies must be made by no later than 3.30 pm (London time) on the business day
following the date of the relevant dealing.

If two or more persons act together pursuant to an agreement or understanding, whether
formal or informal, to acquire or control an interest in relevant securities of an offeree
company or a securities exchange offeror, they will be deemed to be a single person for
the purpose of Rule 8.3.

Opening Position Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company and by any offeror
and Dealing Disclosures must also be made by the offeree company, by any offeror and by
any persons acting in concert with any of them (see Rules 8.1, 8.2 and 8.4).

Details of the offeree and offeror companies in respect of whose relevant securities
Opening Position Disclosures and Dealing Disclosures must be made can be found in the
Disclosure Table on the Takeover Panel’s website at http://www.thetakeoverpanel.org.uk,

including details of the number of relevant securities in issue, when the offer period
commenced and when any offeror was first identified. If you are in any doubt as to whether
you are required to make an Opening Position Disclosure or a Dealing Disclosure, you should
contact the Panel’s Market Surveillance Unit on +44 (0)20 7638 0129.
