Security holders are further advised that ordinary resolution 12 has not attained the
required 75% votes in favour.
In view of the fact that Ordinary Resolution 12, being the Remuneration
Implementation Report, was voted against by more than 25% of shareholders either
present in person or represented by proxy at the AGM, the Company would like to
confirm that it will commence an engagement process in a manner stipulated in the
remuneration report and based on preliminary assessments of the key matters raised,
and the Company endeavours to improve disclosure in the next Remuneration Report to
be included in the 2020 Integrated Report. Consequently, dissenting shareholders are
invited to make submissions to the Company by emailing the company secretary, Lester
Jooste on lester@bafokengplatinum.co.za. The Company will determine the most
appropriate response manner and method of engagement.
Security holders are also advised that following the settlement of the deferred
consideration in respect of the transaction with Rustenburg Platinum Mines (“RPM”), a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Limited, in terms of which RPM’s
participation interest (33%) in the Bafokeng Rasimone Platinum Mine Joint Venture was
acquired by Royal Bafokeng Resources Proprietary Limited (“RBR”), a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company, both Dr Gordon Smith and Mr Avischen Moodley have resigned
as directors of the Company with effect from the date of the AGM, being 28 May 2020.
The Board wishes to thank them for their contributions whilst serving on the Board of
the Company and to wish them well in their future endeavours.
