All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this announcement may be forward-looking

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;

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
