                     SOUTH32 CLOSES US$700M OF SENIOR NOTES OFFERING

South32 Limited (ASX / LSE / JSE: S32; ADR: SOUHY) (South32) is pleased to announce the closing of the previously
announced offering of US$700M Senior Unsecured Notes due 2032 (the “Notes”) by its wholly-owned subsidiary,
South32 Treasury Limited, to persons reasonably believed to be qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule
144A under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and to certain persons
outside the United States in offshore transactions in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act.

The cash proceeds from the offering, together with cash on hand, will be used to repay in full amounts drawn

The Notes are guaranteed by South32 and certain other wholly-owned subsidiaries of South32.
