AVAILABILITY OF ANNUAL FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF THE COMPANY – NHMI
Northam bondholders are hereby advised that the Northam consolidated and separate annual financial statements for
the year ended 30 June 2024 ("2024 AFS"), which incorporate the independent auditor's unmodified audit report thereon
issued by PricewaterhouseCoopers Incorporated, are available on Northam's website at
https://www.northam.co.za/downloads?task=download.send&id=1569 and available for inspection, during office hours,
at the registered office of the company.
Bondholders are further advised that certain comparative information for the years ended 30 June 2022 ("2022 AFS"),
and therefore the opening balance as at 1 July 2022, together with 30 June 2023 ("2023 AFS"), contained in the
consolidated 2024 AFS, has been restated ("Restatements"). The Restatements relate to following:
1. The 2022 AFS did not include the Zambezi Trusts' (being the Northam Zondereinde Community Trust, Northam
Booysendal Community Trust and Northam Employees' Trust) investment held in Northam Platinum Holdings
Limited, which investments meets the definition of a financial asset in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments.
Although the investment in restricted to the benefit of the beneficiaries of the Zambezi Trusts, Northam is required
to account for the investment at a consolidated level. In line with group's accounting policy, the movement in the
investment held at fair value is recognised through other comprehensive income in the statement of profit or loss
and other comprehensive income.
2. The Composite Transaction (the acceleration of the maturity and winding up of the broad-based black economic
empowerment transaction concluded with Zambezi Platinum (RF) Limited ("Zambezi") in 2015), which comprised
of 10 separate but indivisible steps, with the ultimate objective of unwinding the Zambezi structure. One of the last
steps to be implemented entails Northam repurchasing 40 975 772 Northam shares held by Zambezi, which will
allow Zambezi to redeem the Zambezi preference shares in issue to Northam. Zambezi's disposal of its Northam
shares will attract capital gains tax, which was not previously recognised as a liability. Accordingly, similar to other
taxes relating to the Composite Transaction, the deferred tax effect on the redemption of the Zambezi preference
shares is recorded directly in equity.
Bondholders are referred to notes 14 and 25 of the 2024 AFS for further details pertaining to the Restatements.
