Tharisa announces that application has been made to the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (JSE), UK Listing
Authority (UKLA) and the London Stock Exchange (LSE) for the listing and admission of 4 018 429 new
ordinary shares to the official list and to trading on the main market of the JSE and the LSE. Admission of
the shares is expected to occur on 13 July 2017. All of these shares are being reserved under a new block
listing and will be issued to satisfy the Company’s obligations in terms of the Tharisa Share Award Plan
(TSAP).

Following admission, Tharisa will have 261 000 000 ordinary shares in issue, of which 259 966 424 will
have voting rights. Following this issue, Tharisa will hold 1 033 576 shares in treasury to make provision
for the potential requirement to allot shares in the event of participants in the TSAP exercising vested
Appreciation Rights.

Therefore,  the total of 259 966 424 ordinary shares may be used by shareholders as the denominator
for the calculations by which they will determine whether they are required to notify their interest in, or
a change to their interest in, Tharisa under the FCA's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
