MARKET RELEASE

Acquisition of Lonmin receives necessary shareholder approvals

Johannesburg, 28 May 2019: Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SGL and NYSE: SBGL) is pleased to note the

announcement by Lonmin Plc (“Lonmin”) that it received the requisite approvals from Lonmin

Shareholders at its shareholder meetings held earlier today in connection with the all-share offer by
Sibanye-Stillwater to acquire the entire issued share capital of Lonmin, to be effected by a scheme of

arrangement under Part 26 of the UK Companies Act 2006 (“Lonmin transaction”). This follows today’s
announcement by Sibanye-Stillwater that Sibanye-Stillwater Shareholders had approved the Ordinary

Resolution regarding the Lonmin transaction at Sibanye-Stillwater’s General Meeting held earlier today.

Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater, commented: “We are pleased to have received the

overwhelming support of both sets of shareholders for the Lonmin transaction. The rationale for this

transaction remains compelling and we are convinced the integration of Lonmin’s PGM assets with
Sibanye-Stillwater’s adjacent PGM operations, will ensure a more sustainable and positive future for all

these assets. The transaction, once successfully completed, will establish the Sibanye-Stillwater Group as
the largest primary producer of platinum and second largest primary palladium producer with a unique

geographical and platinum group metal mix. I would also like to acknowledge and thank the regulatory

authorities both in the United Kingdom and South Africa, for the balanced and considered manner with
which they approached this transaction and its long-term significance for all stakeholders, which we also

take very seriously."

Completion of the Lonmin transaction remains subject to the satisfaction or (where applicable) waiver of

the outstanding Conditions set out in the Lonmin Scheme Document. Such Conditions include, amongst
others, the approval of the Scheme by the Court. Subject to the satisfaction or waiver (as applicable) of

such Conditions, the Scheme is expected to become effective after 6.00 p.m. (London time) on 7 June
2019 and the new Sibanye-Stillwater Shares to be issued to Lonmin Shareholders, as the consideration for

the Lonmin transaction, are expected to be admitted to trading on the Main Board of the Johannesburg

Stock Exchange at 9.00 a.m. (South African standard time) on 10 June 2019. Further information regarding
the timetable for the Lonmin transaction is set out in the scheme document published by Lonmin on 25

April 2019.

All capitalised terms contained in this announcement have the same meaning ascribed to them in the

circular posted to Sibanye-Stillwater shareholders on 25 April 2019, unless otherwise defined.
