   • in the event that they wish to participate in the AGM, to obtain the necessary
     letter of representation to do so.

Aside from the costs incurred by Sibanye-Stillwater as a result of hosting the AGM

their own network charges in relation to electronic participation in and/or voting
at the AGM. Any such charges will not be for the account of Sibanye-Stillwater,
Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited and or Lumi Technologies SA
Proprietary Limited. Sibanye-Stillwater, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary
Limited and or Lumi Technologies SA Proprietary Limited cannot be held accountable
in the case of loss of network connectivity or other network failure due to
insufficient airtime, internet connectivity, internet bandwidth and/or power outages
which prevents any such shareholder from participating in and/or voting at the AGM.
