1.At 31 December 2024, the expected free cash flows to repay the loan as detailed above were revised as a result of updated estimated cash flows over the life-of-mine
plan due to a change in the allocation between SGL and the financial institutions in terms of the shareholder loan agreement and the terms of the loan agreement. The
cash flows over the life of mine were also revised at 31 December 2025 due to:
Revised forecast costs and capital expenditure
Revised weighted average gold prices 2025: R1,670,512/kg (2024: R1,189,493/kg and 2023: R1,012,625/kg) and long term exchange rates 2025: R17.25/US$ (2024:
R18.00/US$ and 2023: R18.50/US$) based on a LOM of 23 years. A2 is discounted using a 5.9% discount rate and A3 and A4 is discounted at 9.5%
In line with the Group's Capital Allocation Framework, the Burnstone project was delayed and a decision to complete the development is expected to later in the 2026
financial year. The loss recognised in 2025 results from a significantly higher gold price outlook which resulted in increased expected future cash flows from Burnstone.
The gain recognised in 2024 resulted from the additional costs during the delay and the deferral of mine ramp-up which resulted in a decrease in the expected future
net cash flows from Burnstone, offsetting the impact of the increase in the weighted average gold price. The amount is included in the corporate and reconciling items
of the SA gold section of the segment report

1The fair value is based on the quoted market prices of the notes
2The fair value of the Burnstone Debt is derived from discounted cash flow models. These models use several key assumptions, including estimates of future sales volumes,
gold prices, operating costs, capital expenditure and discount rate. See note 27.6 for the key assumptions used, except for the discount rate applied in the fair value
disclosure above of 8.69% (2024: 9.55%,  2023: 10.74%), which was adjusted to a market-related rate. The fair value estimate is sensitive to changes in the key assumptions,
for example, increases in the market related discount rate would decrease the fair value if all other inputs remain unchanged. The extent of the fair value changes would
depend on how inputs change in relation to each other
3The fair value at 31 December 2025 represents the quoted price of the US$ Convertible Bond. The fair value of the amortised cost component amounts to R7,990 million
(2024: R8,231 million) (level 2) at 31 December 2025 and is calculated by deducting the fair value of the share conversion option from the quoted price. Following the
transfer of the derivative component to equity (see note 27.5), it is no longer remeasured to fair value through profit or loss. The fair value at 31 December 2023 represents
the fair value of the amortised cost component of the US$ Convertible Bond, which was calculated based on the quoted price of the instrument after separating the fair
value of the derivative component

1Adjusted borrowings are only those borrowings that have recourse to Sibanye-Stillwater. Adjusted borrowings, therefore, exclude the Burnstone Debt and include the
derivative financial instrument relating to the US$ Convertible Bond, until it was derecognised on 26 June 2024
2Adjusted cash and cash equivalents exclude cash of Burnstone
3Net debt represents borrowings and bank overdraft less cash and cash equivalents. Borrowings are only those borrowings that have recourse to Sibanye-Stillwater and,
therefore, exclude the Burnstone Debt and include the derivative financial instrument relating to the US$ Convertible Bond, until it was derecognised on 26 June 2024. Net
debt excludes cash of Burnstone
4The adjusted EBITDA calculation is based on the definitions included in the facility agreements for compliance with the debt covenant formula, except for impact of new
accounting standards and acquisitions, where the facility agreements allow the results from the acquired operations to be annualised. Adjusted EBITDA may not be
comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies. Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure of performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should be
considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other measures of financial performance and liquidity
5Net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio is defined as net debt as of the end of a reporting period divided by adjusted EBITDA of the 12 months ended on the same reporting
date. Non-IFRS measures such as net debt to adjusted EBITDA is presented for illustration purposes only, and because of its nature, net debt to adjusted EBITDA should not
be considered as a representation of financial performance under IFRS Accounting Standards and should be considered in addition to, and not as a substitute for, other
measures of financial performance and liquidity
