Forward-looking statements
This announcement includes forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical facts included in this announcement, including,
without limitation, those regarding Kumba’s financial position, business, acquisition and divestment strategy, dividend policy, plans and objectives of
management for future operations (including development plans and objectives relating to Kumba’s products, production forecasts and Ore Reserves and
Mineral Resource estimates), are forward-looking statements. By their nature, such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks,
uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements of Kumba, or industry results, to be materially different
from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements.

Such forward-looking statements are based on numerous assumptions regarding Kumba’s present and future business strategies and the environment in
which Kumba will operate in the future. Important factors that could cause Kumba’s actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from
those in the forward-looking statements include, among others, levels of actual production during any period, levels of global demand and commodity market
prices, mineral resource exploration and development capabilities, recovery rates and other operational capabilities, the effects of global pandemics and
outbreaks of infectious diseases, the availability of mining and processing equipment, the ability to produce and transport products profitably, the availability
of transport infrastructure, the impact of foreign currency exchange rates on market prices and operating costs, the availability of sufficient credit, the effects
of inflation, political uncertainty and economic conditions, the actions of competitors, activities by governmental authorities such as permitting and changes
in taxation or safety, health, environmental or other types of regulation, conflicts over land and resource ownership rights and such other risk factors
identified in Kumba’s most recent Integrated Report. Forward-looking statements should, therefore, be construed in light of such risk factors and undue
reliance should not be placed on forward-looking statements.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this announcement. Kumba expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking (except as
required by applicable law, the Takeover Regulation Panel, the Listings Requirements of the securities exchange of the JSE Limited in South Africa, the
Financial Sector Conduct Authority and any other applicable regulations) to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statement
contained herein to reflect any change in Kumba’s expectations with regard thereto or any change in events, conditions or circumstances on which any such
statement is based. Nothing in this announcement should be interpreted to mean that future earnings per share of Kumba will necessarily match or exceed its
historical published earnings per share.
