Finalisation announcement in relation to the proposed Odd-lot Offer and a Specific Offer

Sibanye-Stillwater shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) announcement dated 2 November 2020 wherein the board of directors of Sibanye-Stillwater (“Board”) advised of its intention to make an odd-lot offer (“Odd-lot Offer”) to Shareholders holding fewer than 100 Sibanye-Stillwater shares (“Odd-lot Holders”), and a specific offer (”Specific Offer”) to Shareholders holding 100 Sibanye-Stillwater shares or more but equal to or fewer than 400 Sibanye-Stillwater shares (“Specific Holders”), (collectively, “Offers”).

The implementation of the Offers will result in the repurchase by the Company of the Sibanye-Stillwater shares from the Odd-lot Holders and Specific Holders (“Offer Holders”), at an offer price determined as outlined in paragraph 2 below (“Offer Price”).

2. The Offer Price

As more fully described in the circular issued by Sibanye-Stillwater on 2 November 2020 (“Circular”), the Offer Price is at a premium of 5% to the volume weighted average price of a Sibanye-Stillwater share trading on the JSE over the 10 trading days up to the day immediately prior to this finalization date announcement, which Offer Price is equal to a gross amount of ZAR57.23039, less any dividends withholding tax (“DWT”)levied in terms of the South African Income Tax Act to be withheld by the central securities depository participant at the rate applicable to the relevant Shareholder.

Tax Implications

The Cash Consideration paid by Sibanye-Stillwater pursuant to the Offer Shares will constitute a “dividend” as defined in section 1 of the South African Income Tax Act, in the hands of such Shareholder as no portion of the repurchase price will consist of contributed tax capital.

Dividends Withholding Tax

The Offers will give rise to a liability for DWT at a rate of 20% in the event that the Offer Holder does not qualify for an exemption from DWT or in the case of non-resident Shareholder, is not subject to a reduced rate of DWT in terms of the Double Taxation Agreement between South Africa and the non-resident Shareholder’s country of residence.

In the event that the Offer Holder does not qualify for an exemption or reduced DWT rate, the net Offer Price will be ZAR45.78431, being ZAR57.23039 less 20% DWT.

For details on the tax implications of the Offers, please refer to the Circular available on the Company’s website: (www.sibanyestillwater.com/news-investors/odd-lot-offer).

The summary tax implications serve as a general guide and is not intended to constitute a comprehensive analysis of the tax consequence of the Offers under the South African tax law. It is also not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, a legal or tax advice. Shareholders’ personal circumstances may lead to a different tax outcome, as such, Shareholders should seek appropriate advice in respect of their particular circumstances from their own tax and/or other professional advisers.
