UPDATE: FURTHER EXTENSION OF APPOINTMENT OF INTERIM CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER

Shareholders are referred to the SENS announcement published on 26 September
2022 wherein shareholders were advised that due to the ongoing process regarding
the mandatory offer (“Implats Offer”) by Impala Platinum Holdings Limited
(“Implats”) the board of directors of RBPlat (the “Board”) resolved to pause the
appointment of a full-time chief financial officer (“CFO”) and executive
director until the conclusion of the Implats Offer and the Board has clarity on
the direction of the Company. The Board accordingly extended the period during
which Ms Rotshidzwa Manenzhe fulfils the role of interim CFO by three months to
31 December 2022.

Shareholders are further referred to:

   -   The Implats announcement published on SENS on 17 November 2022 wherein
       shareholders were advised, inter alia, that the only condition precedent
       still outstanding in respect of the Implats Offer is the issuance by the
       Takeover Regulation Panel of a compliance certificate under section 121(b)
       of the Companies Act, 2008 and Regulation 102(13) of the Companies
       Regulations, 2011 and that Implats has extended the date set for
       fulfilment or waiver of the condition precedent to 30 December 2022; and
   -   The firm intention offer announcement issued by Northam Platinum Holdings
       Limited (“Northam”) on 9 November 2022 wherein Northam advised, inter
       alia, of its conditional general offer (“Northam Offer”) to acquire all or
       a portion of the RBPlat shares in issue.

Due to the ongoing Implats Offer and the firm intention announcement by Northam
to make an Offer, the Board has decided to continue to pause the appointment of
a full-time CFO and executive director until the conclusion of the corporate
action and the Board has clarity of the direction of the Company. The Board,
together with the audit and risk committee, having considered the requirements
for the Company with regards to its financial director, as well as Ms Manenzhe’s
familiarity and experience with the Group’s financial requirements, has extended
the period during which Ms Manenzhe fulfils the role of interim CFO to 30 June
2023. The Company has obtained formal dispensation from the JSE in this regard.

Further announcements relating to the appointment of a  full-time CFO and
executive director will be published in due course.
