Johannesburg, 19 December 2024: In terms of paragraph 3.84 (g) (ii) and 3.86 of the JSE
Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors of Sibanye-Stillwater (JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW),
following a recommendation from the Audit Committee, wishes to inform Shareholders that
after a formal tender process to appoint a new firm of external auditors, that BDO South
Africa Inc.(BDO) has been appointed as the Company's external auditors. Servaas Kranhold
will be the designated audit partner for the financial year ending 31 December 2025.
The appointment of Ernst & Young Inc. South Africa ("EY") as external auditors will end

ends, subject to receiving the requisite shareholder approval at the next annual general
meeting which is expected to be held during May 2025. The change of external auditors was
initiated by Sibanye-Stillwater for commercial reasons.
The Company thanks EY for their contribution over the years and looks forward to working
with BDO.
