NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IN OR INTO, OR TO ANY PERSON RESIDENT AND/OR LOCATED IN, ANY JURISDICTION WHERE SUCH RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION IS UNLAWFUL

Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) is pleased to announce the commencement of capital management measures to reduce its gross debt through the purchases of outstanding debt securities, funded in part by the proposed issuance of new senior notes as well as the Group’s cash reserves.

Specifically, Stillwater Mining Company (“Stillwater”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sibanye-Stillwater has commencement a series of tender offers to purchase for cash (i) any and all of its outstanding 4.000% senior notes due 2026 (the “2026 Notes”) and (ii) up to the Capped Maximum Amount (as defined below) of its outstanding 4.500% senior notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”, and together with the 2026 Notes, the “Notes”) upon the terms of, and subject to the conditions in, the offer to purchase dated 6 May 2026 (the “Offer to Purchase”) and, in the case of the 2026 Notes only, the accompanying notice of guaranteed delivery (the “Notice of Guaranteed Delivery,” together with the Offer to Purchase, the “Tender Offer Documents”), including the Financing Condition (as defined below). Tendered 2029 Notes will only be accepted for purchase up to an aggregate principal amount that does not exceed an amount equal to US$75,000,000 (the “Capped Maximum Amount”). The tender offer for the 2026 Notes is referred to as the “Any and All Tender Offer” and the tender offer for the 2029 Notes is referred to as the “Capped Tender Offer.” The Any and All Tender Offer and the Capped Tender Offer are referred to collectively as the “Tender Offers.”

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined in this announcement have the same meaning as assigned to them in the Offer to Purchase.

Holders of the Notes are advised to read the Tender Offer Documents for full details of, and information on the procedures for participating in, the Tender Offers carefully. All documentation relating to the Tender Offers, including the Tender Offer Documents, together with any updates, is available at the following website: https://deals.is.kroll.com/sibanye.

Purpose of the Tender Offers

The purpose of the Tender Offers is to purchase a portion of the Notes, subject to the Capped Maximum Amount in the case of the 2029 Notes, in order to reduce Sibanye-Stillwater’s gross debt. Notes purchased in the Tender Offers will be retired and cancelled.

Financing Condition

As part of the Group’s capital management measures, Sibanye-Stillwater, through its wholly owned subsidiary, Sibanye-Stillwater UK Financing Plc further intends, subject to market conditions, to issue new U.S. dollar-denominated notes (the “New Notes”), with the Tender Offers expected to be funded in part by the New Notes. Acceptance for purchase of any Notes validly tendered in the Tender Offers, and completion of the Tender Offers, are subject, without limitation, to the successful completion (in the sole and absolute determination of Stillwater) of the issuance of the New Notes (the “Financing Condition”).

Priority Allocation

Allocations in the Debt Financing will be determined by Sibanye-Stillwater UK Financing Plc, the Group and the Initial Purchasers (as defined in the preliminary offering memorandum dated as of the date hereof) in their sole discretion based on a number of different factors, which may include an assessment of an investor’s long-term interest in owning Sibanye-Stillwater UK Financing Plc’s debt securities and the size and timing of such investor’s indication of interest in the Debt Financing and in the Tender Offers. However, neither Stillwater nor the Dealer Managers (as defined below) are obligated to consider participation in the Tender Offers in making an allocation determination with respect to any particular investor.

Consideration for the Notes

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Tender Offer Documents, including the Financing Condition, Holders of the 2026 Notes who validly tender and do not validly withdraw the 2026 Notes at or prior to the Any and All Expiration Tender Offer Expiration Date or the Any and All Guaranteed Delivery Expiration Date pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase, and whose 2026 Notes are accepted for purchase by Stillwater, will receive the Total Consideration for each US$1,000 principal amount of the 2026 Notes, which will be payable in cash.

The Early Tender Premium is applicable to the Capped Tender Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Capped Maximum Amount, if a Holder validly tenders its 2029 Notes pursuant to the Capped Tender Offer prior to or at the Early Tender Date and such Holder’s Notes are accepted for purchase, such Holder will receive the applicable Total Consideration for each US$1,000 principal amount of its tendered 2029 Notes, plus Accrued Interest thereon. The Total Consideration for the 2029 Notes is inclusive of the Early Tender Premium. Subject to the terms and conditions described in the Offer to Purchase, including the Capped Maximum Amount, if a Holder validly tenders its 2029 Notes pursuant to the Capped Tender Offer after the Early Tender Date, but prior to or at the Capped Tender Offer Expiration Date, and such Holder’s Notes are accepted for purchase, such Holder will receive only the applicable Tender Offer Consideration for each US$1,000 principal amount of its tendered Notes, plus Accrued Interest thereon. The Early Tender Premium is not applicable to the Any and All Tender Offer.

Accrued Interest

In addition to the applicable consideration, Holders whose Notes are accepted for purchase will be paid the Accrued Interest thereon. Interest will cease to accrue on the applicable Settlement Date for all Notes accepted in the Tender Offers. For avoidance of doubt, interest will cease to accrue on the Any and All Tender Offer Settlement Date for all 2026 Notes accepted in the Any and All Tender Offer, including 2026 Notes that are delivered pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in the Offer to Purchase. All Notes accepted in the Tender Offers will be cancelled and retired by Stillwater.

The relevant deadline set by any intermediary or DTC for participation in the Tender Offers will be earlier than this deadline.

The acceptance of Notes for purchase is conditional on the satisfaction of the conditions of the Tender Offers as provided in “The Terms of the Tender Offers—Conditions of the Tender Offers” in the Offer to Purchase, including the Financing Condition.

International plc, Rand Merchant Bank, a division of FirstRand Bank Limited (London branch) and RBC Capital Markets, LLC as Dealer Managers and Kroll Issuer Services Limited as Information and Tender Information Agent (the “Tender Information Agent”) for the purposes of the Tender Offers.

General

The Tender Offers do not constitute an offer to buy or the solicitation of an offer to sell Notes (and offers to sell will not be accepted from the holders) in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. In those jurisdictions where the securities or other laws require the Tender Offers to be made by a licensed broker or dealer or similar and any of the Dealer Managers or any of the Dealer Managers’ respective affiliates is such a licensed broker or dealer in that jurisdiction, the Tender Offers shall be deemed to be made by such Dealer Manager or affiliate as the case may be, on behalf of Stillwater in such jurisdiction.

Each holder participating in the Tender Offers will be deemed to give certain representations in respect of the jurisdictions referred to above and generally as set out in the Offer to Purchase. Any tender of Notes pursuant to the Offer to Purchase from a holder that is unable to make these representations will be rejected. Each of the Offeror, the Dealer Managers and Kroll Issuer Services Limited reserves the right, in its absolute discretion (and without prejudice to the relevant holder’s responsibility for the representations made by it), to investigate in relation to any tender of Notes, whether any such representation given by a holder is correct and, if such investigation is undertaken and as a result Stillwater determines (for any reason) that such representation is not correct, such offer to sell will be rejected.

The Group and its affiliates expressly reserve the right at any time or from time to time following completion or termination of the Tender Offer, to purchase or exchange or offer to purchase or exchange Notes or to issue an invitation to submit offers to sell Notes (including, without limitation, those tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers but not accepted for purchase) through open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers, exchange offers or otherwise, in each case on terms that may be more or less favorable than those contemplated by the Tender Offers. In addition, the Group also reserves the right to issue new debt securities from time to time, including during the term of the Tender Offers.
