Further to its announcement on 25 May 2017, Implats announces that it has concluded its

   -   Outstanding ZAR2,672 million 5% convertible bonds with a maturity date of 21 February

       2018 U.S.$ Convertible Bonds, the “2018 Convertible Bonds”).

Implats had invited the holders of the 2018 Convertible Bonds to sell to Implats for cash any and
all of their 2018 Convertible Bonds (the “Invitation”). The purchase price per U.S.$200,000
principal amount of 2018 U.S.$ Convertible Bonds offered and accepted for purchase was
U.S.$200,000. The purchase price per ZAR10,000 minimum denomination of 2018 ZAR
Convertible Bonds offered and accepted for purchase was ZAR10,000. Implats will also make
payment of an amount in respect of accrued and unpaid interest in respect of the 2018
Convertible Bonds accepted for purchase, as further described in the Invitation Term Sheets.

The Invitation expired at 4.00 p.m. (London time) on 31 May 2017 (the “Expiration Deadline”).
As of the Expiration Deadline, U.S.$170 million in aggregate principal amount of 2018 U.S.$
Convertible Bonds and ZAR2,429 million in aggregate principal amount of 2018 ZAR
Convertible Bonds have been validly tendered pursuant to the Invitation.

Implats has accepted for purchase all such validly tendered 2018 Convertible Bonds in
accordance with the terms and conditions set out in the Invitation Term Sheets subject, without
limitation, to, and conditional upon, the issuance by Implats of ZAR Denominated Senior
Unsecured Convertible Registered Bonds due 2022 and U.S.$ Denominated Convertible Bonds
due 2022 in a combined aggregate principal amount equivalent to approximately U.S.$400
million (the “Financing Condition”). On 26 May 2017, Implats announced the pricing of ZAR

Following settlement of the Invitation, 2018 Convertible Bonds in the aggregate principal
amounts of approximately U.S.$30 million and ZAR243 million will remain outstanding, subject
to the Company’s intention to redeem the 2018 Convertible Bonds that remain outstanding after
the settlement date in full at their principal amount due to 85% or more of the applicable

the Invitation. Implats will make a separate announcement regarding such redemption of the
