Sibanye-Stillwater prices an oversubscribed US$500 million 6.25% Senior Notes offering
Johannesburg, 8 May 2026: Sibanye-Stillwater (tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) is pleased to
announce that it has priced a new oversubscribed US$500 million senior notes offering due
2031 (the "2031 Notes") (the "Offering"). The 2031 Notes will be issued through the Group's
wholly owned subsidiary, Sibanye-Stillwater UK Financing Plc, as a single tranche of US$500
million, maturing in five and a half years (non-call two) at a 6.25 per cent per annum coupon.
The Offering is subject to customary closing conditions, and settlement is expected to occur
on or around 15 May 2026.
The Offering forms part of the Group's previously announced capital management measures to
reduce gross debt by repurchasing outstanding debt securities. The net proceeds of the 2031
Notes, together with the Group's cash reserves, will be used to purchase existing notes issued
by the Group's wholly owned subsidiary, Stillwater Mining Company. On 6 May 2026, Sibanye-
Stillwater commenced, through Stillwater Mining Company, offers to purchase for cash (i) any
and all of the outstanding US$675 million senior notes due November 2026 (the "2026 Notes"),
with any remaining amount expected to be settled in cash by the Group, and (ii) up to US$75
million of the outstanding US$525 million senior notes due 2029 (the "2029 Notes", and
together with the 2026 Notes, the "Existing Notes"). The successful repurchase of the Existing
Notes by Stillwater Mining Company could result in an overall reduction in Group gross debt
of up to US$250 million.
CEO Richard Stewart commented: "We are pleased with the strong demand reflected in the more
than five times oversubscription for the bond offering, which demonstrates investor confidence
in Sibanye-Stillwater, its strategy and the quality and resilience of our portfolio. Today's
transaction marks another important step in strengthening our balance sheet, extending our
debt maturity profile, and enhancing our financial flexibility. These actions are fully
aligned with our disciplined capital allocation framework, which includes, amongst others, a
target of reducing gross debt by approximately 50% over the next two to three years.
Importantly, strengthening and improving the flexibility of our balance sheet, combined with
optimising margins from our operations, strongly positions us to continue delivering on our
strategy, including investing in organic value accretive growth and positioning the company
to deliver future-facing metals that support the evolving energy landscape."

Notices and Disclaimers
Notice is hereby given that, in terms of the provisions of Section 45(5) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008
(the "Companies Act"), and pursuant to the special resolution passed at the general meeting of the Company
held on 29 May 2025, the board of directors of the Company (the "Board") has adopted a resolution to
guarantee the indebtedness of other members of the Group under the Offering, which guarantee constitutes
the giving of direct and/or indirect financial assistance to related- and inter-related companies and
corporations of the Company in terms of the provisions of Section 45(2) of the Companies Act.
Having considered all reasonable financial circumstances of the Company in terms of and pursuant to the
provisions of Section 45 as read with Section 4 of the Companies Act, the Board satisfied itself that:
• immediately after providing the financial assistance referred to above, the Company would satisfy the
solvency and liquidity test contemplated in Section 4 of the Companies Act;
• all relevant conditions and restrictions relating to the granting of such financial assistance by the
Company contained in the Company's memorandum of incorporation are satisfied; and
• the terms and conditions on which such financial assistance is to be given are fair and reasonable
to the Company.
This announcement is not for publication or distribution, directly or indirectly, in or into the United
States. This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the
2031 Notes or the Existing Notes, nor will there be any sale of the 2031 Notes referred to in this
announcement, in any jurisdiction, including the United States, in which such offer, solicitation or sale
would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.
The 2031 Notes referred to herein may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration
under the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration. Any public offering of securities to be made
in the United States will be made by means of a prospectus that may be obtained from the issuer and that
will contain detailed information about the company and management, as well as financial statements. The
2031 Notes have not been registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 Securities Act, or any U.S.
State security laws. Accordingly, the 2031 Notes are being offered and sold in the United States only to
qualified institutional buyers in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act and outside the
United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.
The 2031 Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be
offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area ("EEA").
For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or both) of: (i) a retail client as
defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"); or (ii) a customer
within the meaning of Directive 2016/97/EU (as amended, the "Insurance Distribution Directive"), where
that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of
MiFID II. Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended,
the "PRIIPs Regulation") for offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail
investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Notes or otherwise making
them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPS Regulation.
The 2031 Notes are not intended to be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to and should
not be offered, sold, distributed or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the UK. For these

Consequently, no disclosure document required by the FCA Product Disclosure Sourcebook ("DISC") for
offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the
UK has been prepared and therefore offering, selling or distributing the Notes or otherwise making them
available to any retail investor in the UK may be unlawful under DISC and the Consumer Composite
Investments (Designated Activities) Regulations 2024 (the "CCI Regulations").

otherwise lawfully be communicated or caused to be communicated (all such persons together being referred
to as "relevant persons"). The investments to which this announcement relates are available only to, and
any invitation, offer or agreement to subscribe, purchase or otherwise acquire such investments will be
available only to or will be engaged in only with, relevant persons. Any person who is not a relevant
