4GUIDANCE ON CLASSIFICATION OF INFORMATION
4.1What is “Inside Information”?
Inside Information” is specific or precise information, which has not been made public, and which: (i) is obtained by an Insider; and (ii) if it were to be made public, would be likely to have a material effect on the price or value of any Security listed on a regulated market. In other words, Inside Information is material, non-public information which could reasonably be expected to affect an investor’s decision to buy, hold or sell securities in the Company. Inside Information may include, in addition to corporate developments not yet announced, information available to brokers or institutional investors and undisclosed facts that confirm or disprove widely circulated rumours.
4.2When is Inside Information “material” and when does it have a “material effect”?
4.2.1For the purposes of South African Insider Trading regulations, information will qualify as price sensitive information (“Price Sensitive Information”) if its publication is likely to have a “material effect” on the Company’s share price. Currently there is no fixed legal definition of “materiality”, as circumstances differ from case to case. However, an event will pre-qualify as having a material effect based on the following metrics of size and importance:
2    It must be noted that this does not include cash settled share appreciation rights granted to directors by the issuer in the ordinary course of business.
7


Exhibit 11.1

Sibanye-Stillwater Information and Securities Transactions Policy


(i)size
(a)with respect to ITOCOB events excluding trading statements, if the size of the subject matter concerned is equal to or greater than 5% of the Company’s market capitalisation, information relating thereto pre-qualifies as being Price Sensitive Information;
(b)with respect to corporate actions (e.g., mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures or dividends), if the size of the subject matter concerned is equal to or greater than 5% of the Company’s market capitalisation or involves a related party, information relating thereto pre-qualifies as being Price Sensitive Information;
(c)with respect to trading statements, previous historical trading statement forecast disclosures must be examined to determine what level of earnings per share or headline earnings per share forecast increases / decreases gave rise to a material effect. When this historical material effect level is reached during any trading statement period, the Company is deemed to be in possession of pre-qualified Price Sensitive Information;
(ii)importance
With respect to any information that does not pre-qualify in terms of size in Section 4.2.1, it will pre-qualify as Price Sensitive Information if it is decided by C-suite that market perception and reaction to the disclosure of such Inside Information could / would have a material effect.
4.2.2For the purposes of U.S. Insider Trading regulations, information is material if a reasonable investor would (a) view such information as significantly altering the “total mix” of available information and (b) consider it important in deciding whether to purchase or sell the Company’s securities.
Examples of information that may be material for U.S. purposes include, but is not limited to, information regarding:
(i)significant pending or proposed mergers, acquisitions, joint-ventures, a change of control of the Company, exchange offers or tender offers;
(ii)events affecting the Company’s capital structure, including stock splits, share dividends or share repurchase programmes;
8


Exhibit 11.1

Sibanye-Stillwater Information and Securities Transactions Policy


(iii)annual/quarterly earnings, trading updates or similar financial information;
(iv)unpublished financial reports or projections;
(v) changes in directors, senior management, auditors or key personnel;
(vi)the acquisition or loss of a significant contract and/or defaults under material agreements;
(vii)new equity or debt offerings, redemptions or repurchases;
(viii)significant litigation exposure or institution of, or developments in, major litigation, investigations or regulatory actions or proceedings;
(ix)significant change in mineral reserves or resources or write-offs of mining properties; and
(x) interruption of production or other aspects of the Company’s business as a result of an accident, fire, natural disaster, civil unrest, labour dispute, cybersecurity-related event or any major shut-down.
4.3What is a “Security”?
Securities include the following:
(a) shares, depositary receipts (including the Company’s ADSs);
(b) debentures and bonds;
(c) derivative instruments;
(d) notes;
(e) participatory interests in a collective investment scheme;
(f) instruments based on an index;
(g) credit facilities; or
(h) other instruments, irrespective of their form and title, issued or authorised to be issued by a profit company; and
(i) rights in the securities listed above.
This also applies to any issue, acceptance, exercise, sale, subscription or purchase of options or shares or other rights or securities in connection with any equity settled mechanism or scheme by the Share Incentive Scheme.
9


Exhibit 11.1

Sibanye-Stillwater Information and Securities Transactions Policy


4.4When is information “public” or “non-public”?
5Information is considered to be “non-public” until it has been widely disseminated by the Company by news release and/or filing with a securities regulatory authority in all necessary jurisdictions and adequate time has passed for investors to digest the information. Selective or limited disclosure of non-public information to a few members of the public does not make it publicly disclosed. PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING PRICE SENSITIVE INFORMATION
5.1The Company has established a committee that determines and assesses whether information constitutes Price Sensitive Information (“Equities Trading Committee”). A detailed explanation of the processes to be followed by the Equities Trading Committee in making its assessment will be set out in its terms of reference.

i.Chief Executive Officer (CEO);

5.2The board of directors of Sibanye-Stillwater (“Board”) or the Equities Trading Committee, as the case may be, shall have due regard to the guidance of the JSE (JSE published Practice Note 2/2015), when determining whether information constitutes Price Sensitive Information.
5.3Affected Directors who have Price Sensitive Information have a duty to disclose this to the Equities Trading Committee.
5.4The rules of the JSE Listings Requirements, NYSE Listed Company Manual and SEC disclosure requirements shall be observed in respect of the disclosure of Price Sensitive Information and the issue of any regulatory announcements or press releases.

12


Exhibit 11.1

(ii)The JSE may waive this requirement to obtain clearance in situations where the Affected Director has no discretion in the transaction (refer to definition of securities dealing).

7.5Pre-Dealing – clearance granted or denied
7.5.1If approval is granted to the Affected Director or Affected Person (as the case may be) to effect a Company Securities Dealing, such Affected Director or Affected Person is expected to deal as soon as possible, but no later than three (3) business days, after such clearance is granted.
7.5.2If approval is denied or if the earlier provided approval is revoked by the Company (due to necessity or any stipulated reason), then the Affected Director or Affected Person (as the case may be) is prohibited from effecting the Company Securities Dealing.

The Affected Director or Affected Person concerned must interrupt any discretionary mandate given by the Affected Director or Affected Person to the asset manager with respect to Company Securities Dealing (i.e., a discretionary mandate cannot override this rule).
7.6.2It is acceptable for a Company Securities Dealing on behalf of an Affected Director or Affected Person (as the case may be) to take place during a Prohibited Period if (i) the instruction or mandate to engage in the Company Securities Dealing was put in place in an open period prior to the relevant Prohibited Period, (ii) the Affected Director or Affected Person did not have Inside Information at the time the instruction or mandate was put in place and (iii) the Affected Director and/or Affected Person has no discretion over the relevant Company Securities Dealing (including regarding the timing thereof).
