Johannesburg, 29 May 2019: In accordance with Section 3.59 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the Board of Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SGL and NYSE: SBGL) advises that the current Board Chairman, Mr Sello Moloko has tendered his resignation, effective 30 September 2019, in order to focus on his other responsibilities and the ongoing development of the Thesele Group, which he founded in 2005.

Mr Moloko has served as Chairman of the Group since it was established in February 2013 and has overseen the growth and development of the Group, from a South African gold producer, into a leading international precious metals company and the Board would like to thank him for his sage counsel and guidance during this transformative period in the Company’s history.

Mr Moloko commented: “It has been my privilege to lead and participate in the evolution of Sibanye-Stillwater, from its humble beginnings six years ago, into the unique, globally diversified precious metals company of today. Having overcome some significant challenges in the last 18 months, and with the successful conclusion of the shareholder vote to approve the Lonmin acquisition yesterday, I feel confident that the Group is poised to deliver on its vision of creating superior value for all of our stakeholders and believe that this is an opportune time to hand the Chairman’s baton on. I wish to thank my Board colleagues and the management of Sibanye-Stillwater, for the support and camaraderie and wish them all the best for the next stage in the development of the Company.”

The Board is also pleased to announce the appointment of Dr Vincent Maphai, who will succeed Mr Moloko as Chairman and Non-executive Independent director, and will be joining the Board as Chairman designate effective from 1 June 2019. Dr Maphai’s appointment follows an extensive search process and allows for a suitable handover period in order to ensure continuity. The Board would like to congratulate and welcome Dr Maphai and looks forward to his valuable contribution to the ongoing development of Sibanye-Stillwater.
