Dealing in shares by Directors and Prescribed Officers
Johannesburg, 19 March 2021: Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW)
reminds shareholders that certain of its directors, directors of major subsidiaries,
prescribed officers of Sibanye-Stillwater and its major subsidiaries and other senior
employees accepted awards of conditional shares in March 2018 under the
Sibanye-Stillwater Share Plan 2017 (“the Share Plan”). These awards were subject to
the fulfilment of various performance conditions and also to the requirement that the
employee had to be in the employ of a member of the Sibanye-Stillwater group of
companies on 1 March 2021. The conditions have now all been fulfilled as regards
certain of those employees who are currently directors, directors of major
subsidiaries or prescribed officers of Sibanye-Stillwater and its major subsidiaries
(“the Specified Persons”). As a result, Sibanye-Stillwater became obliged under the
Share Plan to allot and issue the Shares.
The Shares were allotted and issued during a prohibited period as defined in terms
of the JSE Listings Requirements. As such, Sibanye-Stillwater has sought and received
the requisite JSE dispensation, under listings requirements 3.66 and 3.70 to permit
Sibanye-Stillwater to allot and issue such Shares to the Specified Persons. The
dispensation was granted by the JSE on the basis that the Specified Persons had no
discretion as to the allotment and issue, since this was contractually mandated by
the awards made and the terms of the Share Plan. The Shares have been allotted and
issued as follows –
