In response to questions raised by shareholders at the Annual General Meeting and on social and
investment chat groups, management responded as follows:
Local communities action plan
During 2023 Tharisa appointed Digby Wells to undertake a Socio-Economic Baseline study of the
Mmaditlokwe and Lapologang communities. This report has been finalised and is being reviewed by
management. Following completion of which a consultation process and the next steps will be
communicated through the relevant structures.

Tharisa has and will continue to assist the local communities with basic services (waste collection,
sewerage collection, water supply and the maintenance of roads). In line with our social commitments
to our local and doorstep communities Tharisa will continue it’s:

    •   Local recruitment including a focus on women in mining
    •   Enterprise development initiatives and business opportunities
    •   Skills development and training opportunities
    •   Bursaries for top achievers and
    •   Portable skills training

Tharisa will continue to monitor it’s impacts related to it’s mining activities in line with our
Environmental Authorisations, this will include:

    •   continuous dust suppression and monitoring
    •   noise monitoring
    •   water quality monitoring and
    •   blasting practices

The results will be shared through our current community engagement structures. Tharisa will further
continue research into technologies to further mitigate the impacts on the receiving environment.

Tharisa’s investment in the Karo Platinum Project
The total investment by the Company in acquiring its current 75% shareholding in Karo Mining
Holdings is US$135.3 million, imputing an entry valuation of US$180.4 million. Karo Mining Holdings
has an indirect shareholding of 85% in Karo Platinum and therefore the entry valuation for Karo
Platinum is US$212.3 million. Karo Platinum is a multi-generational asset and the valuation is for phase
one of the project only. In valuing a long-life asset, the longer-term sustainable commodity prices are
used and not the spot commodity prices, and it was at the higher longer term analyst price forecasts
that were used in valuing the project.

The recent rights offer undertaken by Karo Mining Holdings raised US$65.0 million. The Company’s
shareholding in Karo Mining Holdings was 70%. To follow its rights and maintain its shareholding
required the Company to invest US$45.5 million. The minority shareholder did not follow its rights
and renounced its rights to the Company. The Company followed these rights and, in so doing,
increased its shareholding in Karo Mining Holdings by a further 5% to 75%, at a cost of US$19.5 million.
Applying the rights offer subscription for the additional 5% shareholding imputes a value of US$390.0
million to Karo Mining Holdings and thus US$457.8 million for Karo Platinum.
There are 96 million inferred PGM ounces (on a 6E basis) deriving a value of US$4.8/oz, which
compares favourably to comparable transactions.

Dividend currency conversion rates and timetable
The final dividend of US 2.0 cents per share having been approved by shareholders, Tharisa advises as
follows:

Shareholders on the principal Cyprus register will be paid in USD, shareholders whose shares are held
through Central Securities Depositary Participants (CSDPs) and brokers and are traded on the JSE will
be paid in ZAR and holders of Depositary Interests traded on the LSE will be paid in GBP. The dividend
will be paid from income reserves and may therefore be subject to dividend withholding tax depending
on the tax residency of the shareholder.

The currency equivalents of the dividend, based on the weighted average of the South African Reserve
Bank’s daily rate at approximately 10:30 (UTC +2) on 14 December 2023, being the currency
conversion date, are as follows:

                          Exchange rate          Dividend per share in payment currency

 South Africa - JSE       ZAR 18.61130/US$       37.22260 South African cents per share

Tax implications of the dividend

Shareholders and Depositary Interest holders should note that information provided should not be
regarded as tax advice.

Shareholders are advised that the dividend declared will be paid out of income reserves and may
therefore be subject to dividend withholding tax depending on the tax residency of the shareholder.

South African tax residents
South African shareholders are advised that the dividend constitutes a foreign dividend. For individual
South African tax resident shareholders, dividend withholding tax of 20% will be applied to the gross
dividend of 37.22260 South African cents per share. Therefore, the net dividend of 29.77808 South
African cents per share will be paid after 7.44452 South African cents in terms of dividend withholding
tax has been applied. Shareholders who are South African tax resident companies are exempt from
dividend tax and will receive the dividend of 37.22260 South African cents per share. This does not
constitute legal or tax advice and is based on taxation law and practice in South Africa. Shareholders
should consult their brokers, financial and/or tax advisors with regard to how they will be impacted
by the payment of the dividend.
UK tax residents
UK tax residents are advised that the dividend constitutes a foreign dividend and that they should
consult their brokers, financial and/or tax advisors with regard to how they will be impacted by the
payment of the dividend.

Cyprus tax residents
Individual Cyprus tax residents are advised that the dividend constitutes a local dividend and that they
should consult their brokers, financial and/or tax advisors with regard to how they will be impacted
by the payment of the dividend.
