MARKET RELEASE
SA Competition Tribunal approves the Lonmin acquisition subject to agreed conditions
Johannesburg, 21 November 2018: Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SGL and NYSE: SBGL) is pleased to
announce that the South African Competition Tribunal (the Competition Tribunal) has approved the
proposed acquisition of Lonmin Plc (Lonmin)(the Transaction), subject to specific conditions.

In addition to the conditions agreed between Sibanye-Stillwater and the Competition Commission
(details of which were provided in the announcement on 18 September 2018), a further condition has
been imposed by the Competition Tribunal, namely:
a moratorium on retrenchments at the Lonmin operations for a period of six months from the
implementation date. This excludes any voluntary separation agreements and ordinary course
of business terminations, and does not prevent the Company from initiating proceedings in
terms of Section 189 of the Labour Relations Act, as long as such proceedings are not finalised
before six-months from implementation of the Transaction

Neal Froneman CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater commented: “I am extremely pleased that the Competition
Tribunal has approved the Transaction, on terms which we believe are fair, reasonable and in the best
interest of all stakeholders. 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
and bring greater stability to the region. I would also like to acknowledge the comprehensive and
pragmatic approach taken by the Competition Commission and Commission Tribunal, with all
stakeholders having been given due consideration. This has ensured a fair and judicious outcome,
which recognises Sibanye-Stillwater’s commitment to the South African mining sector and the benefits
that will accrue to all 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.
Such conditions include, amongst others, the approvals of Lonmin and Sibanye-Stillwater shareholders
and the courts of England and Wales.

A circular to Sibanye-Stillwater shareholders and the Lonmin scheme of arrangement document will
be posted to the respective shareholders in due course. Included in those documents will be the
expected dates of the shareholder meetings and timetable to the closing of the transaction.

Ends.

Disclosure requirements of the Takeover Code
Under Rule 8.3(a) of the Takeover Code (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

Under Rule 8.3(b) of the Code, any person who is, or becomes, interested in 1% or more of any class of

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).
