1.At 31 December 2024, the expected free cash flows expected to repay the loan as detailed above were revised as a result of revised cash flows over the life-of-mine plan
due to a change in the allocation between SGL and the financial institutions in terms of the shareholder loan agreement and the term loan agreement. The cash flows
over the life of mine were also revised due to:
Revised forecast costs and capital expenditure, and
Revised weighted average gold prices 2024: R1,189,493/kg (2023: R1,012,625/kg and 2022: R793,473/kg) and long term exchange rates 2024: R18.00/US$ (2023: R18.50/
US$ and 2022: R15.50/US$) based on a LOM of 25 years. A2 is discounted using a 5.9% discount rate and A3 and A4 is discounted at 9.5%
In line with the Group's Capital Allocation Framework, the Burnstone project is delayed and is expected to ramp-up again during 2025. The additional costs during the
delay and the deferral of mine ramp-up has resulted in a decrease in the expected future net cash flows from Burnstone, offsetting the impact of the increase in the
weighted average gold price

1The fair value is based on the quoted market prices of the notes
2The fair value of the Burnstone Debt is derived from discounted cash flow models. These models use several key assumptions, including estimates of future sales volumes,
gold prices, operating costs, capital expenditure and discount rate. See note 28.6 for the key assumptions used, except for the discount rate applied in the fair value
disclosure above of 9.55% (2023: 10.74%,  2022: 10.52%), which was adjusted to a market-related rate. The fair value estimate is sensitive to changes in the key assumptions,
for example, increases in the market related discount rate would decrease the fair value if all other inputs remain unchanged. The extent of the fair value changes would
depend on how inputs change in relation to each other
3The fair value at 31 December 2024 represents the quoted price of the US$ Convertible Bond. The fair value of the amortised cost component amounts to R8,231 million
(level 2) at 31 December 2024 and is calculated by deducting the fair value of the share conversion option from the quoted price. Following the transfer of the derivative
component to equity (see note 28.5), it is no longer remeasured to fair value through profit or loss. The fair value at 31 December 2023 represents the fair value of the
amortised cost component of the US$ Convertible Bond, which was calculated based on the quoted price of the instrument after separating the fair value of the
derivative component

1Adjusted borrowings are only those borrowings that have recourse to Sibanye-Stillwater. Adjusted borrowings, therefore, exclude the Burnstone Debt and include the
derivative financial instrument relating to the US$ Convertible Bond, until it was derecognised on 26 June 2024
2Adjusted cash and cash equivalents exclude cash of Burnstone
3Net debt/(cash) represents borrowings and bank overdraft less cash and cash equivalents. Borrowings are only those borrowings that have recourse to Sibanye-Stillwater
and, therefore, exclude the Burnstone Debt and include the derivative financial instrument relating to the US$ Convertible Bond, until it was derecognised on 26 June
2024. Net debt/(cash) excludes cash of Burnstone
4The adjusted EBITDA calculation is based on the definitions included in the facility agreements for compliance with the debt covenant formula, except for impact of new
accounting standards and acquisitions, where the facility agreements allow the results from the acquired operations to be annualised. Adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance and liquidity
5Net debt/(cash) to adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as net debt/(cash) as of the end of a reporting period divided by adjusted EBITDA of the 12 months ended on the
same reporting date. Non-IFRS measures such as net debt/(cash) to adjusted EBITDA is presented for illustration purposes only, and because of its nature, net debt/(cash)
to adjusted EBITDA should not be considered as a representation of financial performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should be considered in addition to,
and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance and liquidity
