RESULTS OF PLACING

Implats is pleased to announce the successful completion of the placing of Implats ordinary shares
announced yesterday, 6 October 2015 (the "Placing").

A total of 102 564 102 new Implats ordinary shares (the "Placing Shares") have been placed to a
broad range of institutional investors at a price of ZAR39.00 per Placing Share, raising gross proceeds
of approximately ZAR4.0 billion. The Placing Shares being issued represent approximately 16.2 per
cent of the issued ordinary share capital of the Company prior to the Placing. The remaining Implats
ordinary shares not utilised in the Placing will be returned to the authorised but unissued shares of
the Company.

The issue price represents a discount of 7.1% to the closing share price on 6 October 2015 and a
discount of 12.7% to the 30 day volume weighted average closing price of Implats shares ended on 6
October 2015.

Subject to approval by the JSE Limited (“JSE”), listing and trading of the Placing Shares is expected to
commence on or about Wednesday, 14 October2015.

The Placing Shares, when issued, will be fully paid and will rank pari passu in all respects with the
existing ordinary shares of 2.5 cents each in the share capital of the Company including the right to
receive all dividends and other distributions declared, made or paid after the date of issue of the
Placing Shares.
