             CANCELLATION OF LISTING OF ORDINARY SHARES ON THE
                OFFICIAL LIST OF THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE


Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (“the Company”) has requested the UK Financial Services
Authority to cancel the listing of the Company’s ordinary shares of 2.5 South African cents each
(“Ordinary Shares”) on the UK Official List and to cancel the admission of the Ordinary Shares to
trading on the London Stock Exchange’s market for listed securities. It is expected that the
cancellation of the UK listing and of the admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on the London
Stock Exchange (“LSE”) will take effect at 8.00 a.m. (UK time) on 14 January 2013 (the “effective
date”).

The Ordinary Shares have been listed on the UK Official List since February 1973. Currently,
shareholders holding approximately 0.12% of the total issued capital of the Company appear on the
Company’s UK register of members.

However, since listing on the LSE, only a small amount of trading in the Ordinary Shares has been
conducted on the LSE and taking into account the high costs associated with being admitted to the
UK Official List, the board of directors of the Company consider that there is no longer any
significant benefit to the Company in maintaining this listing.

Following cancellation of the listing and the admission to trading in London, the UK register
maintained by Computershare Investor Services PLC will continue. However, subject to putting the
appropriate arrangements in place, shareholders will only be able to trade their shares on the JSE
Limited (“JSE”) after the effective date. It should be noted that in order to trade their shares on the
JSE, shareholders will be required to dematerialise their shareholding. For further information in
this regard shareholders should contact Computershare at the address or telephone number below.
