                                UPDATE REGARDING THE IMPLATS COMPLAINTS

Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised words and terms contained in this announcement shall bear the same
meanings ascribed thereto in the announcement published by Northam Holdings on SENS on
Wednesday, 9 November 2022 (“Announcement”).

Northam Shareholders and RBPlat Shareholders (collectively, “Shareholders”) are referred to the Announcement in
terms of which, inter alia, Northam announced its firm intention to make an offer to RBPlat Shareholders to acquire all
the Offer Shares for the Offer Consideration.

Shareholders are further referred to the announcement published by Northam Holdings on SENS on Thursday,
22 December 2022 in terms of which they were advised that:

 •    Impala Platinum Holdings Limited (“Implats”) had submitted various complaints to the TRP regarding the
      Announcement, as well as the announcement published by Northam Holdings on SENS on Monday,
      12 December 2022 relating to, inter alia, the increase to the Maximum Cash Consideration (“Implats
      Complaints”); and

 •    as a consequence of the Implats Complaints, the TRP withheld its approval of the posting of the Northam Offer
      Circular until such time as the TRP had made a determination in respect of the Implats Complaints.

Northam hereby advises Shareholders that Implats has summarily withdrawn the Implats Complaints. Implats has taken
this course of action without having engaged with the TRP any further regarding the various issues raised by Implats in
the Implats Complaints.

In light of Implats’ withdrawal of the Implats Complaints, the TRP has advised Northam that it considers the
Announcement to be legally valid and that Northam may proceed with the Offer.

FURTHER INFORMATION

As a consequence of, inter alia, the lapse of time since the initially intended posting dates of the Northam Offer Circular
and Northam Transaction Circular and the resultant updates required, Northam is engaging with the TRP and the JSE
regarding the finalisation and posting of the respective circulars.

Further details relating to the Transaction (including the Offer) and the related salient dates and times, including the
posting dates of the Northam Offer Circular and the Northam Transaction Circular, will be published on SENS in due
course.

Notice to US investors in RBPlat

The Offer will be made to RBPlat Shareholders in the United States in compliance with the applicable US laws and
regulations, including Section 14(e) and Regulation 14E under the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934 as amended (the
“Exchange Act”), and the exemptions from Regulation 14E and the U.S. tender offer rules provided by Rule 14d-1(c)
under the Exchange Act.

The Northam Holdings Shares being offered pursuant to the Offer have not been and will not be registered in the United
States under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “U.S. Securities Act”), or the securities laws of any state
of the United States or other jurisdiction, and, subject to certain limited exceptions, may not be offered or sold, taken up,
exercised, resold, renounced, transferred, delivered or distributed, directly or indirectly, in or into the United States absent
of registration under the U.S. Securities Act and in compliance with any applicable state securities laws, or pursuant to
an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the U.S. Securities Act. The financial
information included in this announcement has been prepared in accordance with foreign accounting standards that may
not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

It may be difficult for US holders of RBPlat Shares to effect service of process within the United States and to enforce
their rights and any claim arising out of the US federal securities laws against RBPlat and/or Northam Holdings, since
RBPlat and Northam Holdings are located in a non-US jurisdiction, and some or all of their officers and directors may be
residents of a non-US jurisdiction. US holders of RBPlat Shares may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers
or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. Further, it may be difficult to compel a non-US
company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgement.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any securities commission of any state of the United States has
approved the Offer, passed upon the fairness of the Offer or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this
announcement. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence in the United States.

RBPlat Shareholders in the United States should note that the Northam Holdings Shares are securities in a South African
company, and the Offer is subject to South African procedural and disclosure requirements, rules and practices which
are different from those of the United States and are proposed to be implemented by way of the Offer. You should be
aware that Northam Holdings and its affiliates or brokers may purchase shares in RBPlat otherwise than under the Offer,
such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases, to the extent permitted by, and in compliance with, Rule 14e-
5 under the Exchange Act and in accordance with South African law. Information about any such purchases or
arrangements to purchase that is made public in accordance with South African law and practice will be available to all
investors (including in the United States) via announcements on SENS.
