Anglo American Platinum update on ACP Phase B repair

Anglo American plc notes the announcement by Anglo American Platinum Limited released today
to the Johannesburg stock exchange. The text of the announcement is copied below:

Anglo American Platinum announced on 3 June 2020 that a water leak had been detected in the
high-pressure cooling section of the Anglo Converter Plant (ACP) Phase B unit. All employees
were safely evacuated as a precaution. The Company took the decision to temporarily close the
ACP Phase B unit to secure a safe operating environment, protect employees and protect the
integrity of the plant.

The detailed technical investigation into the cause of the water leak shows localised damage to
a single cooler tube that is now being replaced and confirms that this leak is unconnected to the
repair work recently completed on the ACP Phase B unit. Other maintenance is being carried out
and additional controls put in place whilst the ACP Phase B unit is off-line in order to provide
greater operational stability. The repair work is expected to be completed next week, and
recommissioning will then start once a detailed risk-based assurance process has confirmed it is
safe to do so.

A prudent approach will be taken to safely ramp up the ACP Phase B unit. Increased monitoring
will likely result in intermittent stoppages to inspect the plant until the repairs to the ACP Phase
A unit are completed. The repairs to the ACP Phase A unit are progressing well and are now
expected to complete towards the end of 2020 due to the successful accelerated procurement of
key long-lead time items.

Anglo American Platinum will continue to receive concentrate from third parties and joint ventures
under the purchase of concentrate and toll agreements and will continue to deliver metal to
customers.

The stoppage of the ACP Phase B for repairs of this water leak is not expected to have any
impact on full year refined production guidance, which remains at between 3.1 – 3.6 million PGM
ounces.
