Results of Convertible Bond Offering

Implats is pleased to announce the result of its dual offering and the final terms of the senior
unsecured convertible bonds due 2018 (the "ZAR Bonds") and the senior unsecured
convertible bonds due 2018 (the "US$ Bonds" and together with the ZAR Bonds, the “Bonds”).
The ZAR 1,775 million ZAR Bonds have been allocated in full and the US$ 200 million
US$ Bonds have been allocated in full. The option to increase the ZAR Bonds has been
exercised in full such that a total of R2,672 million ZAR Bonds have been allocated.

The Bonds will be issued and redeemed at par and will carry a coupon of 5.00% per annum
for the ZAR Bonds and 1.00% per annum for the US$ Bonds. The ZAR Bonds’ initial
conversion price has been set at ZAR 214.9000 per share, a premium of 35% above the
volume weighted average price of the shares from launch to pricing while the US$ Bonds’
initial conversion price has been set at US$ 24.1300 per share, a premium of 35% above the
volume weighted average price of the shares from launch to pricing, converted at the
prevailing ZAR: US$ spot rate at the time of pricing.

The Company will have the option to call the Bonds at par plus accrued interest at any time
on or after 13 March 2016, if the aggregate value of the underlying shares per Bond for a
specified period of time is 130% or more of the principal amount of that Bond.

Implats shareholders will be requested to grant specific authority for the directors to issue
ordinary shares pursuant to the conversion rights which will attach to the Bonds.

It is expected that settlement of the Bonds will take place on or about Thursday, 21 February
2013. Implats intends to apply for admission of the ZAR Bonds to trade on the Main Board of
the JSE and the US$ Bonds to trade on a European stock exchange within 3 months
following settlement of the Bonds.

UBS Limited (“UBS”) is acting as Global Co-ordinator. The Standard Bank of South Africa
Limited (in connection with the offering of the ZAR Bonds) and Standard Bank Plc (in
connection with the offering of US$ Bonds) together with UBS are acting as Joint
Bookrunners. Basis Point Capital is acting as the local partner in connection with the offering
of the Bonds.
