Cash fraction applicable to the capitalisation issue


Westonaria, 5 October 2017: Shareholders are referred to the Group´s
operating and financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2017,
which was published on the Stock Exchange News Service on 30 August 2017
in which a capitalisation issue was declared by the Sibanye-Stillwater
board.

The applicable ratio for the capitalisation issue was 2 capitalisation
issue shares for every 100 ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater shares held on the
Record Date, being Friday, 6 October 2017.

As per the above release, if the application of this ratio gave rise to a
fraction of an ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater share, such fraction would be
rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in whole ordinary
Sibanye-Stillwater shares being allocated with an equivalent cash payment
in compensating for the fraction ("Rounding Provision").

In accordance with the JSE Limited listing requirements, the cash payment
has been determined with reference to the volume weighted average price
of an ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater share traded on the JSE on Wednesday, 4
October 2017 (being the day on which an ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater share
began trading `ex´ the entitlement to receive the capitalisation issue),
discounted by 10%.

Shareholders are accordingly advised that the applicable cash payment for
the fractional entitlement is 1415 cents (1572 cents, discounted by 10%).

Example of fractional entitlement:

This example assumes that a Shareholder holds 125 ordinary shares at the
close of business on the Record Date.

New ordinary share entitlement = 125 x (2/100) = 2.5

The Rounding Provision described above is then applied and the shareholder
will receive:

2 Capitalisation issue shares in respect of the 100 ordinary shares held
and a cash payment for the fractional entitlement of 0.5 x 1415 = 707.5
cents.
