CONSOLIDATION OF OPERATIONS OF IMPALA BAFOKENG RESOURCES AND IMPALA
PLATINUM
 
1.     INTRODUCTION

       (a)     Impala Platinum Limited (Impala) and Impala Bafokeng Resources Proprietary
               Limited (IBR) are both subsidiaries of Implats.

       (b)     In response to low prevailing rand platinum group metal (PGM) pricing and to
               secure the long-term sustainability of both Impala and IBR, it has been agreed to
               consolidate the operations of Impala and IBR (consolidation). This consolidation
               will align the legal structure with current reporting lines in place, and facilitate and
               progress the realisation of synergies between the two operations. It is expected
               that, over time, the consolidation will improve profitability and ensure the
               sustainability of the combined operations, which shall be ongoing and continuous.

       (c)     There is no cash consideration attributable to the consolidation, nor will the
               shareholders of Implats, Impala or IBR change due to the consolidation. Further,
               the consolidation does not involve any related parties to the Implats group.
               Accordingly, this announcement is made voluntarily.

2.     CONSOLIDATION

       (a)     To give effect to the consolidation, Impala and IBR entered into an agreement in
               terms of which IBR will transfer its entire business (comprising the exploration,
               development and mining of PGMs and activities related thereto) including all its
               assets and liabilities to Impala as a going concern in terms of the tax rollover
               provisions as provided for in the Income Tax Act, 1962 (Agreement), after IBR and
               other companies of the Implats group have implemented certain reorganisational
               steps relating to the businesses prior to the consolidation.

       (b)     The effective date of the Agreement is 1 July 2025.
