The information in this announcement may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the “safe
harbour” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking
statements, including, among others, those relating to Sibanye Stillwater Limited’s (“Sibanye-Stillwater” or the
“Group”) financial positions, business strategies, plans and objectives of management for future operations, are
necessarily estimates reflecting the best judgment of the senior management and directors of Sibanye-Stillwater.
All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this announcement may be forward-looking
statements. Forward-looking statements also often use words such as “will”, “forecast”, “potential”, “estimate”,
“expect” and words of similar meaning. By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risk and uncertainty
because they relate to future events and circumstances and should be considered in light of various important
factors, including those set forth in this disclaimer. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such
statements.

The important factors that could cause Sibanye-Stillwater’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ
materially from those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, our future business prospects;
financial positions; debt position and our ability to reduce debt leverage; business, political and social conditions
in the United States, South Africa, Zimbabwe and elsewhere; plans and objectives of management for future
operations; our ability to obtain the benefits of any streaming arrangements or pipeline financing; our ability to
service our bond instruments; changes in assumptions underlying Sibanye-Stillwater’s estimation of their current
mineral reserves and resources; the ability to achieve anticipated efficiencies and other cost savings in
connection with past, ongoing and future acquisitions, as well as at existing operations; our ability to achieve
steady state production at the Blitz project; the success of Sibanye-Stillwater’s business strategy; exploration and
development activities; the ability of Sibanye-Stillwater to comply with requirements that they operate in a
sustainable manner; changes in the market price of gold, PGMs and/or uranium; the occurrence of hazards
associated with underground and surface gold, PGMs and uranium mining; the occurrence of labour disruptions
and industrial action; the availability, terms and deployment of capital or credit; changes in relevant government
regulations, particularly environmental, tax, health and safety regulations and new legislation affecting water,
mining, mineral rights and business ownership, including any interpretations thereof which may be subject to
dispute; the outcome and consequence of any potential or pending litigation or regulatory proceedings or other
environmental, health and safety issues; power disruptions, constraints and cost increases; supply chain shortages
and increases in the price of production inputs; fluctuations in exchange rates, currency devaluations, inflation
and other macro-economic monetary policies; the occurrence of temporary stoppages of mines for safety
incidents and unplanned maintenance; the ability to hire and retain senior management or sufficient technically
skilled employees, as well as their ability to achieve sufficient representation of historically disadvantaged South
Africans in management positions; failure of information technology and communications systems; the
adequacy of insurance coverage; any social unrest, sickness or natural or man-made disaster at informal
settlements in the vicinity of some of Sibanye-Stillwater’s operations; and the impact of HIV, tuberculosis and the
