Sibanye-Stillwater receives a credit rating upgrade

Johannesburg, 3 May 2022. Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW) is
pleased to share that Moody's Investors Service (Moody's) has upgraded the Group’s
corporate family rating (CFR) from Ba3 to Ba2 with a positive outlook.
Moody’s noted that the “rating action reflects the strong financial performance that
Sibanye has displayed over the past two years and its track record of maintaining
capital allocation discipline. The company has used its strong cash flows to balance
between various strategic objectives, including strengthening its balance sheet and
enhancing liquidity, investing in existing assets and executing on its strategy to
expand into battery metals, as well as rewarding shareholders through dividends and
share buybacks.”. Further information is available from www.moodys.com.

Neal Froneman, CEO of Sibanye-Stillwater commented: “We are pleased that the market
is starting to recognise our transition from a single commodity mining company in
2013 to a growing multinational mining and metals group, with a diverse portfolio of
mining and processing operations, projects and investments across five continents.”
