Director’s share dealing

Lonmin Plc (the “Company”) granted a Retention Award on 7 November 2012 to Simon
Scott, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, the terms of which were set out
in the 2012 Annual Report.

Following detailed discussions with certain institutional shareholders, the Remuneration
Committee of the Company has now agreed with Mr Scott that upon vesting of this award
(which remains subject to the satisfaction of performance conditions) the award will be
settled by the transfer of shares in the Company, rather than in cash. All other terms of the
award, including the vesting date, remain unchanged.

The award, which amounted to £814,625, will now be over 254,570 shares. The strike price
of 320p used to determine the number of shares was the average closing price in London for
the 20 dealing days ending on 30 January, being the date on which the Remuneration
Committee decided to adopt share settlement for this award. A 20 dealing day average is
used to determine the strike price in all of the Company’s employee share schemes.

As Mr Scott’s retention award was implemented under the provisions of LR 9.4.2R, any
shares ultimately transferred to him on vesting of the award must be sourced from market
purchases. Should the retention award ultimately vest, it will not be dilutive for shareholders
of the Company.

Notes to editors

Lonmin, which is listed on both the London Stock Exchange and the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange, is one of the world's largest primary producers of PGMs. These metals are
essential for many industrial applications, especially catalytic converters for internal
combustion engine emissions, as well as their widespread use in jewellery.
Lonmin's operations are situated in the Bushveld Complex in South Africa, where nearly
80% of known global PGM resources are found.

The Company creates value for shareholders through mining, refining and marketing PGMs
and has a vertically integrated operational structure - from mine to market. Lonmin's mining
operations extract ore from which the Process Division produces refined PGMs for delivery
to customers. Underpinning the operations is the Shared Services function which provides
high quality levels of support and infrastructure across the operations.
