About our cover designs:

Our strategic differentiator Inclusive, diverse and bionic, is depicted in the cover as a fingerprint, with small markings that signify computer code. As technology becomes ever more capable and powerful, the fear exists of the possible loss of human individuality, the loss of our independent spirit. The design reminds us what this strategic differentiator points to, the potential for humanity to be enhanced through using technology ("bionic"), and the potential for uniqueness and diverse individual identity to find its expression in service to our vision and purpose. We value the contributions of our employees (each having left their unique "fingerprint" on our business) and we honour their commitment to our values, which ripples out, amplifying the Group's capacity to innovate and evolve.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

Introduction

The Audit Committee has formal terms of reference, which are updated on an annual basis. The Board is satisfied that the Audit Committee has complied with these terms, and with its legal and regulatory responsibilities as set out in the South African Companies Act (Companies Act), King IVTM, the JSE Listings Requirements (JSE LR) and the requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Access and meetings

Internal and external auditors have unrestricted access to the Audit Committee, the Audit Committee Chairman and the Chairman of the Board, ensuring that auditors are able to maintain their independence. Both the internal and external auditors report at Audit Committee meetings. The Audit Committee meets with internal audit and the SOX division on a quarterly basis without other invitees being present and the Audit committee Chairman meets with the external auditors on a quarterly basis without other invitees being present. Management attend Audit Committee meetings by invitation.

The significant audit and accounting matters in respect of the Company considered by the Committee during the financial year were:

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE continued

The above matters were addressed by management and by the Audit Committee on a review basis as follows:

The impairment

For the year ended 31 December 2023, management performed an impairment assessment over the investments in

investments in and

loans to

subsidiaries

• where indications of impairment were identified for investments in subsidiaries, calculated the recoverable

amount of the investment based on the net asset value of the subsidiary supplemented by unobservable financial

information such as estimated future cash flows. Considered the excess of the recoverable amount over the

carrying value for the investment in subsidiary

  • where the assessment indicates that the Company will not recover the full contractual cash flows of loans to subsidiaries, calculated the expected credit losses (ECLs) based on the discounted cash flows that the Company expects to receive

Management concluded that the carrying value of the Company's investments in Sibanye Stillwater Australia Holdings

Proprietary Limited (Sibanye Stillwater Australia) and Sibanye Europe OY exceed their estimated recoverable amounts.

As disclosed in notes 4 and 7 to the Audited AFS, impairment losses were recognised for the Company's investment in

Sibanye Stillwater Australia (R2,040 million) and Sibanye Europe OY (R227 million). In addition, the loss given a possible

default on the loan receivable from Century is considered to be equal to the full loan balance since there are

insufficient expected cash flows available to service the loan. As disclosed in notes 4 and 12.2 to the Audited AFS, the

Company recognised an impairment of R636 million on the loan receivable from Century.

The recognition of

Management concluded that due to the financial position of Century and expectation of future losses to be incurred,

Century and CMT

as well as CMT not being operational, there is a high probability that future environmental rehabilitation costs will need

to be funded through utilising the available facilities, which in turn will require the Company as guarantor to settle the

amounts owing to the financial institutions. As disclosed in note 12.3 to the Audited AFS, the Company recognised a

financial guarantee liability of R1,620 million based on the estimated future cost of environmental rehabilitation

activities that would need to be undertaken at closure (discounted at a market-related rate).

External auditor suitability review

In terms of section 90(1) of the Companies Act, each year at its annual general meeting (AGM), the Company must appoint an external audit firm and designated individual partner in compliance with the requirements of the Companies Act and the JSE LR, respectively.

In terms of the JSE LR, the Audit Committee has the responsibility to review the Company's current appointed audit firm and designated individual partner for re-appointment. After such review, the Audit Committee makes a recommendation to the Board, and the Board in turn considers same and then makes a recommendation to shareholders in the notice of AGM.

Accordingly, in compliance with paragraph 3.84(g)(iii) of the JSE LR, the Audit Committee assessed the suitability for reappointment of the current appointed audit firm, being Ernst & Young Inc., and appointment of the designated individual partner (Auditor Suitability Review). The incumbent designated individual partner, being Lance Ian Neame Tomlinson, is due for partner rotation after acting as the designated individual partner for a five year term and will retire at the next AGM. The Audit Committee assessed the suitability for appointment of Allister Carshagen as the designated individual partner.

The Auditor Suitability Review performed by the Audit Committee included an examination and review of

  • the results of the most recent Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (IRBA) inspections of Ernst & Young Inc., including the responses of the firm on observations/findings on the firm and on selected audit files raised by IRBA
  • the results of the most recent IRBA inspection of the designated individual partner
  • a summary of the audit firms ISQM 1 internal inspection process and the process to analyse and conclude on the results of the internal inspection (Internal Quality Review)
  • a summary of the outcome of the designated individual partner's latest Internal Quality Review
  • the results of the most recent Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) inspection review of Ernst & Young Inc.
  • a summary and results of all legal and disciplinary proceedings, completed or pending, within the past five years, which were instituted in terms of any legislation or by any professional body of which the audit firm and/or designated individual partner are a member or regulator to whom they are accountable, including where the matter is settled by consent order or payment of a fine

Based on the results of the Auditor Suitability Review and a review of the independence of Ernst & Young Inc. and the designated individual partner, the Audit Committee has satisfied itself in terms of paragraph 3.84(g)(iii) of the JSE LR and recommended to the Board that Ernst & Young Inc. be re-appointed as the auditors of the Company and that Allister Carshagen be appointed as the designated individual partner. The Board concurred with the recommendation.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE continued

Auditor independence and fees

The Audit Committee is also responsible for determining that the external audit firm and designated individual audit partner have the necessary independence, experience, qualifications and skills, and that audit and other fees are reviewed and approved.

The Audit Committee has reviewed and assessed the independence of the external auditor, that has confirmed in writing that the criteria for independence, as set out in the companies Act, the rules of IRBA, the PCAOB, and other relevant international bodies, have been followed. The Audit Committee is satisfied that Ernst & Young Inc. is independent of the Company and Group.

The Audit Committee determines the nature and extent of non-audit services that the auditor can provide and pre-approves all permitted non-audit assignments by the Group's external auditor. In accordance with the SEC rules regarding auditor independence, the Audit Committee has established policies and procedures for audit and non-audit services provided by the Group's external auditor. The rules apply to Sibanye Stillwater Limited and it's legally controlled unlisted subsidiaries engaging any accounting firms for audit services and the auditor who audits the consolidated Audited AFS filed with the SEC (the Group's independent external auditor) for permissible non-audit services. When engaging the Group's external auditor for permissible non-audit services (audit related services, tax services, and all other services), pre-approval is obtained prior to the commencement of the services.

The Audit Committee approves the respective annual audit plans presented by both the internal and external auditors and monitors progress against the plans. These audit plans provide the Audit Committee with the necessary assurance on risk management, internal control environments and IT governance.

Internal audit

The internal control systems of the Company are monitored by Internal Audit, which reports findings and recommendations to the Audit Committee and to senior management. The Audit Committee determines the purpose, authority and responsibility of the Internal Audit function in an Internal Audit Charter. The Internal Audit function is headed by the Vice President: Internal Audit, who may be appointed or dismissed by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee is satisfied that the incumbent Vice President: Internal Audit has the requisite skills and experience and is supported by a sufficient staff complement with appropriate skills and training.

Sibanye Stillwater's Internal Audit operates in accordance with the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing as prescribed by the Institute of Internal Auditors. Internal Audit activities carried out during the year were identified and planned through a combination of the Sibanye Stillwater Risk Management framework and the risk-based methodologies adopted by Internal Audit. The Audit Committee approves the annual internal audit assurance plan presented by Internal Audit and monitors progress against the plan.

Internal Audit reports deficiencies to the Audit Committee every quarter together with recommended remedial actions, which are then followed up. Internal Audit provided the Audit Committee with a written report, which assessed as adequate the internal controls over financial reporting, IT governance and the risk management process during 2023.

The Audit Committee is responsible for IT governance on behalf of the Board and reviews the report of the Vice President: Group ICT at each Audit Committee meeting.

JSE LR

In accordance with the JSE LR, the Audit Committee reports and confirms that it has:

  • evaluated the expertise, experience and performance of the Company and Group CFO during 2023 and is satisfied that he has the appropriate expertise and experience to carry out his duties, and is supported by qualified and competent senior staff
  • ensured that the Company has established appropriate financial reporting procedures and that those procedures are operating and that management had access to all the required financial information to allow the effective preparation and report on Company Audited AFS
  • has performed the Auditor Suitability Review of both the current appointed external audit firm and designated individual audit partner as detailed above
  • notwithstanding the provisions of Section 90(6) of the Companies Act, ensured that the proposed re-appointment of the audit firm and designated individual partner is presented and included as a resolution in the notice of annual general meeting pursuant to
    Section 61(8) of the Companies Act.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE continued

Audit Committee statement

Based on information from, and discussions with, management and external auditors, the Audit Committee has no reason to believe that there were any material breakdowns in the design and operating effectiveness of internal financial controls of the Company during the year and therefore the financial records may be relied upon as the basis for preparation of the Company Audited AFS.

The Audit Committee has considered and discussed the Company Audited AFS and associated reports with both management and the external auditors.

During this process, the Audit Committee:

  • evaluated significant judgements and reporting decisions
  • determined that the going-concern basis of reporting is appropriate
  • evaluated the material factors and risks that could impact on the Company Audited AFS
  • evaluated the completeness of the financial and sustainability discussion and disclosures
  • discussed the treatment of significant and unusual transactions with management and the external auditors

The Audit Committee considers that the Company Audited AFS comply in all material respects with all compliance requirements detailed earlier in this report. The Audit Committee recommended to the Board that Company Audited AFS be adopted and approved by the Board. The Board subsequently adopted and approved the Company Audited AFS.

DIRECTORS' REPORT

The directors have pleasure in submitting their report for the year ended 31 December 2023.

Company profile and nature of business

Sibanye Stillwater Limited (the Company) is an investment holding company, which commenced trading during the 2020 financial year.

Financial affairs

Results for the year

The loss for the year was R2,485 million compared with a profit of R103 million in 2022. The loss for the year was attributable to the impairment of investments in subsidiaries of R2,267 million (2022: Rnil), impairment of loans to a subsidiary of R636 million (2022: Rnil), loss on the recognition of a financial guarantee liability of R1,620 million (2022: Rnil) and other costs of R74 million (2022: Rnil). Investment income mainly comprised intercompany dividend income of R2,080 million (2022: Rnil), intercompany interest received from subsidiaries of R19 million (2022: R6 million) and interest income of R4 million (2022: R1 million). The gain on financial instruments was R14 million (2022: R6 million), gain on recognition of financial guarantee asset was R4 million (2022: R55 million) and the gain on foreign exchange differences was R24 million (2022: R56 million).

Dividends

In line with Sibanye-Stillwater's Capital Allocation Framework, the Board of Directors resolved not to declare a final dividend (2022: 122 SA

cents per share). Together with the interim dividend of 53 (2022: 138) SA cents per share, which was declared and paid, this brings the total

dividend for the year ended 31 December 2023 to 53 (2022: 260) SA cents per share.

Borrowing powers

In terms of Clause 4 of the Company's Memorandum of Incorporation, the borrowing powers of the Company are unlimited. As at 31 December 2023, the Company had no external borrowings.

Events after reporting date

There were no events that could have a material impact on the financial results of the Company after 31 December 2023 up to the date on which the Company's financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023 were authorised for issue, other than those disclosed in the company financial statements, see - Company financial statements - Notes to the company financial statements - Note 15: Events after the reporting date.

Working capital and going concern assessment

The Company financial statements have been prepared using appropriate accounting policies, supported by reasonable judgements and estimates. The directors believe that the Company has adequate resources to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future. The Company financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2023, therefore, have been prepared on a going concern basis, see - Company financial statements - Notes to the company financial statements - Note 13: Risk management activities.

Significant announcements

Announcements during the financial year, after last filing date of 24 April 2023

Production resumes at the Stillwater West mine following successful remediation of shaft infrastructure

On 24 April 2023, Sibanye-Stillwater advised that it recommissioned the vertical shaft at its Stillwater West mine on 16 April 2023, following remediation of shaft infrastructure which was damaged during an incident in March 2023.

Production from the deeper levels (below 50 level) at the Stillwater West mine had resumed and was built up over a two-week period and normalised levels by end of April 2023. The suspension of production below 50 level during the remediation and build-up of production reduced production from the Stillwater West mine by approximately 30,000 2Eoz.

As previously announced, access to the upper levels (above 50 level) of the Stillwater West mine and the Stillwater East mine (through the east portal) was not affected by the incident and production from these areas, as well as from the East Boulder mine, continued during the remediation.

Finnish Minerals Group increase its holding in the Keliber lithium project

On 25 April 2023, Sibanye-Stillwater advised that as part of a previously announced rights issue to secure the outstanding equity funding for its Keliber Lithium project in Finland, the Finnish Minerals Group (which manages the Finnish State's mining industry shareholdings), on

25 April 2023 announced that it will increase its holding in the Keliber project from 14% to 20%, by subscribing for €53.9 million of the €104 million rights issue total. After the rights issue, Sibanye-Stillwater will retain circa 79% in the Keliber project with minority shareholders holding the balance of the shares in Keliber Oy.

The laying of the earthworks for the Keliber lithium refinery (first phase of the project) in Kokkola, Finland began on 7 March 2023 with the foundation stone laid during a ceremony on 11 May 2023.

The total Keliber project capital is estimated at ~€588 million (excluding sustaining capital) as per the Definitive feasibility study, with the initial equity funding of the project capital already secured through the increase of Sibanye-Stillwater shareholding to over 50%, and the remaining
