CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
Northam shareholders are advised that Northam and Zambezi Platinum (RF) Limited (“Zambezi Platinum”)
have entered into discussions regarding a potential transaction to accelerate the maturity of the
empowerment transaction concluded between Northam and Zambezi Platinum in May 2015, whilst
maintaining Northam’s broad-based black economic empowerment ownership. If the transaction is
successfully concluded it may have a material effect on the price of Northam’s securities.
Accordingly, Northam shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in Northam’s securities,
until a further announcement is published.
Paul Dunne, Northam’s Chief Executive Officer said “the significant value created for all Northam
shareholders from our empowerment transaction with Zambezi Platinum, as well as Northam’s current
ownership of 70% of all Zambezi Platinum preference shares and the inherent share buy-back implied by
this holding, provides a unique opportunity to unlock permanent value for our shareholders, whilst
maintaining Northam’s broad-based black economic empowerment ownership. Northam has taken the
initiative to enter into pro-active discussions with Zambezi Platinum with a view to secure a successful and
sustainable outcome.”
