Wage negotiations update Lonmin Plc (Incorporated in England and Wales) (Registered in the Republic of South Africa under registration number 1969/000015/10) JSE code: LON Issuer Code: LOLMI & ISIN : GB0031192486 ("Lonmin") REGULATORY RELEASE 18 June 2014 Wage Negotiations Update Further to the announcement issued on Thursday, 12th June 2014, Lonmin Plc (“Lonmin” or “the Company”) confirms that it has received written feedback from Association of Mineworkers and Construction Union (AMCU) president Joseph Mathunjwa. This follows an ‘in principle’ agreement reached between the three platinum producers, Anglo American Platinum Limited (Amplats), Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (Implats) and Lonmin Plc (Lonmin) ‘the companies’ and AMCU leadership last week. AMCU committed to take this agreement to its members at the various mass meetings to receive a mandate from their members to sign an agreement. The letter received from AMCU confirmed that the union had received a mandate from its members to finalise agreements with the companies that would bring an end to the five- month strike. The letter raises various procedural issues, such as the timeframe of proposed agreements and the logistics around a return to work, which the companies are willing to finalise with the union leadership. Regrettably, however, the letter also contains new and additional demands which, if granted, would mean significant additional costs for Lonmin – in excess of R200 million and well beyond the increases contained in the ‘in principle’ agreements. The goal remains a sustainable solution beneficial to all stakeholders on the basis of the ‘in principle’ agreement reached with AMCU. Lonmin is currently engaged with AMCU on their feedback in order to achieve a return to work in line with the ‘in principle’ agreement reached.
