Further to the announcement released on 24 April 2018 regarding Anglo American Platinum’s intention
to conduct an accelerated placing of Royal Bafokeng Platinum Limited (“RBPlat”) Ordinary Shares (the
“Placing Shares”) to qualifying investors only (the “Placing”). Anglo American Platinum is pleased to
announce that it has successfully placed 17,315,000 Placing Shares at a price of R22.50 per Placing
Share (“Placing Price”). The Placing raised total gross proceeds of R390 million.
Anglo American Platinum intends to utilise the Placing proceeds to fund its share of the Maseve Plant
and the remaining Placing proceeds will be utilised to fund Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited (“RPM”)
share of ongoing funding requirements in respect of the Bafokeng Rasimone Platinum Mine Joint
Venture’s Styldrift project.
Following the Placing, Anglo American Platinum, through its wholly-owned subsidiary RPM, will hold
approximately 2.6% of the total number of RBPlat’s ordinary shares in issue. Anglo American Platinum
has agreed to a 90-day lock-up period, subject to customary exceptions and waiver by the Sole
