DISPATCH OF SUPPLEMENTARY NOTICE OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 25 May 2020 with
regard to the publishing and distribution to shareholders of the Company's notice
of annual general meeting ("Original AGM Notice"), and are advised that a
supplementary notice to the Original AGM Notice ("Supplementary Notice") had been
published on the Company’s website today, 15 July 2020, which will be posted to
Shareholders on 21 July 2020.
The purpose of the Supplementary Notice is to notify Gold Fields' shareholders
that due to the continuing impact of COVID-19, Gold Fields is of the view that,
in the interests of the safety of its shareholders, staff and the public, it would
be prudent to hold its annual general meeting ("AGM") entirely by electronic
communication and not physically and to update shareholders on the procedure to
follow so as to participate by electronic communication at the AGM. The content
of the Original Notice, including the record dates and last date of trade, will
remain in all respects valid, and save for the information relating to the holding
of the AGM purely by electronic communication as set out in the Supplementary
Notice, has not changed.
Accordingly, the AGM will still be held on Thursday, 20 August 2020 at 14:00, but
will now be conducted entirely by electronic communication (including voting), as
contemplated by section 63(2)(a) of the Companies Act No. 71 of 2008 (the
"Companies Act") and no physical meeting will be held.
Shareholders are reminded that in terms of section 59(1) (b) of the Companies Act,
71 of 2008, the record date for the purpose of determining which shareholders are
entitled to participate in and vote at the AGM (being the date on which a
shareholder must be registered in the Company’s securities register in order to
participate in and vote at the AGM) is Tuesday, 11 August 2020. Therefore the last
day to trade in order to be registered in the Company’s securities register as at
the record date is Wednesday, 5 August 2020.

of the AGM. However, for the purpose of effective administration, shareholders
and their proxies are strongly urged to send the Electronic Notice by 09h00 on
Tuesday, 18 August 2020. The electronic communication employed will enable all
persons participating in the AGM to communicate concurrently with one another
without an intermediary and to participate reasonably effectively in the meeting.

has commenced, participants will be able to vote via the voting link to be provided

necessary letter of representation to do so.
Shareholders will be liable for 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 the JSE or the Company. Neither the Company nor the JSE can be held
accountable in the case of loss of network connectivity or other network failures
due to insufficient airtime or data, internet connectivity, internet bandwidth
and/or power outages, which prevents any such shareholder from participating in
and/or voting at the AGM.
