Shareholders are referred to the Group´s operating and financial results for the year ended 31 December 2018, which was published on the Stock Exchange News Service (SENS) on 22 February 2018 in which a capitalisation issue was declared by the Sibanye-Stillwater board.
The applicable ratio for the capitalisation issue was 4 capitalisation issue shares for every 100 ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater shares held on the Record Date, being Friday, 13 April 2018.
As per the above release, if the application of this ratio gave rise to a fraction of an ordinary Sibanye share, such fraction would be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in whole ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater shares being allocated with an equivalent cash payment in compensating for the fraction ("Rounding Provision").
In accordance with the JSE Limited listing requirements, the cash payment has been determined with reference to the volume weighted average price of an ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater share traded on the JSE on Wednesday, 11 April 2018 (being the day on which an ordinary Sibanye-Stillwater share began trading `ex´ the entitlement to receive the capitalisation issue), discounted by 10%.
Shareholders are accordingly advised that the applicable cash payment for the fractional entitlement is 990.94 cents (1101.04 cents, discounted by 10%).
Example of fractional entitlement:
This example assumes that a Shareholder holds 110 ordinary shares at the close of business on the Record Date.
New ordinary share entitlement = 110 x (4/100) = 4.4
The Rounding Provision described above is then applied and the shareholder will receive:
4 Capitalisation issue shares in respect of the 100 ordinary shares held and a cash payment for the fractional entitlement of 0.4 x 990.94 = 396.38 cents.
Holders of the American depository receipts (ADRs) are also eligible for the capitalisation issue although different timelines may apply. The depositary bank (BNY Mellon) will notify eligible ADR holders via respective clearing centre.
