ACCEPTANCE OF THE JADEITE OFFER

Pan African shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement published by the Company
on 26 May 2016 (“Jadeite Announcement”), wherein Shareholders were advised that the Company had
presented an offer (“Offer”) to Jadeite Limited (“Jadeite”) to acquire its 33.6% interest in Shanduka Gold
Proprietary Limited subject to certain terms and conditions (“Jadeite Transaction”), and had concluded a
bookbuild in terms of which it had secured undertakings from certain Shareholders and new institutional
investors to acquire a maximum of 111 711 791 new Pan African ordinary shares (“Placement Shares”)
pursuant to a vendor consideration placing (“Vendor Placing”).


Further to the Jadeite Announcement, Shareholders are advised that Jadeite has accepted the Offer and
both the SBSA Transaction and Jadeite Transaction (the “Transactions”) have become unconditional. The
Company expects the Transactions to be concluded simultaneously on or about 7 June 2016.


Application has been made to the London Stock Exchange for admission of the Placement Shares to
trading on AIM. The Company has received approval from the JSE Limited for the listing and trading of the
Placement Shares on its Main Board (“Main Board”). It is expected that admission and listing of the
Placement Shares on AIM and the Main Board will become effective on or about 3 June 2016.


Completion of the Vendor Placing remains conditional on, inter alia, admission of the Placement Shares to
trading on AIM.
