SUMMARISED CONSOLIDATED ANNUAL RESULTS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 30 JUNE 2017

Introduction
Implats' focus during the 2017 financial year has remained firmly on the continued implementation of its strategic
response plan to succeed in a low-price environment. Our view is that the current metal price environment could 
conceivably stay lower for even longer and could be viewed as 'the new normal'.

The plan encapsulates overall cost optimisation, reprioritising and rescheduling capital expenditure, productivity 
improvements at Impala Rustenburg, strengthening the Group balance sheet and retaining its social licence to operate 
in an ethical manner. While this plan is advancing, further considerable change initiatives are needed to ultimately 
ensure the sustainability and profitability of the Group.

There has been good progress in some areas with excellent operational performances from many operations. Group platinum 
production reached 1.53 million platinum ounces for the year (2016: 1.44 million). Sub-optimal performances were 
delivered by Impala Rustenburg and Marula, while all other operations performed at or above expectation, supplemented 
by a 35% increase in tolling throughput at Impala Refinery Services (IRS).

While Impala produced 654 600 ounces of platinum for the year (as guided at the half year), it nonetheless incurred a
headline loss after tax of R2.68 billion. This was largely a result of sustained low rand basket prices, a cost base
that is structured for a higher level of production and persistently low operational efficiencies. It is clear that we
cannot accept it being business as usual for Impala. A comprehensive strategic review of this operation is planned to 
ensure that it will operate at a cash neutral level in what is perceived to be the new normal pricing environment. 
The review will be focused on returning the mine to profitability by prioritising profitability and value, over volume.

Similarly, Marula made a headline loss after tax of R737 million. This was largely due to disruptions to its
operations by surrounding communities. A comprehensive stakeholder engagement process has been initiated to mitigate 
against further disruptions and, in addition, the mine undertook a section 189 retrenchment process to restructure its 
cost base. The target for Marula to be cash positive at Group level in 2018 has been set, and will be strictly 
monitored each quarter throughout the coming year.

Safety and sustainability 
While there has been Group-wide progress in terms of its safety performance, it is with deep sadness and regret that
Implats reports nine work-related fatalities during the year. Safe production is vital to Implats' sustainability. Human
behaviour continues to contribute to many safety incidents and the emphasis is on ensuring effective leadership, responsible
behaviour, and driving a culture of personal accountability and interdependence. 

During the year, Zimplats completed a consecutive 365 days without a single lost-time injury - a safety milestone well
worth highlighting. Several other operations also reached significant safety achievements during the year. 

The LTIFR improved 8.8% from the previous year to 5.92 per million man-hours worked (including contractors) compared
to 6.49 per million man-hours last year.

The Group recognises that its ability to enhance delivery and sustain Group-wide operational efficiencies depends on
the skills, safety, well-being and motivation of employees. Pleasing progress has been made in enhancing the
relationships with unions, communities and other key stakeholders. 

Implats continued to deliver against commitments in terms of the Group's social and labour plans (SLPs) at its South
African operations, and targeted corporate social investments in Zimbabwe. Phase 2 of the Platinum Village, a home
ownership project in Rustenburg, is almost complete and 321 houses have been built this year, taking the total units 
to 849 at this complex. There is strong ongoing demand for these houses and approval for phase 3 is being motivated. 

Year in review 
Group headline earnings per share decreased from 12 cents per share to a loss of 137 cents per share. 

Revenue was assisted by a marginally improved rand basket and rose to R36.8 billion from R35.9 billion. Overall, 
production from the Group's operations increased year-on-year, but this benefit was more than offset by planned 
higher levels of refined stock at year end. 

Increases in Group unit costs, year on year, were contained at 4.4% and cost of sales increased by 4.0%. However, 
revenue only increased by 2.5% as all production was not sold. This combination, largely resulted in the decline in 
gross profit from R4 million to a loss of R529 million.

In 2007, Impala prepaid the estimated contractual Royal Bafokeng royalty and the Royal Bafokeng used this prepayment 
to subscribe for shares in Implats. The prepayment was raised on the balance sheet and is amortised annually based 
on units of production. Our current view of the estimated value of what would have been the royalty payments has 
changed materially since 2007 given unexpected persistently low metal prices and depressed levels of production.  
A decision was therefore taken by management to impair the full amount of R10.2 billion, which after deferred tax 
amounts to R7.3 billion.

The income tax credit for the current year includes deferred tax of R2.8 billion on the impairment of the prepayment.
This is excluded from the headline earnings. Current tax (on headline earnings) increased compared to 2016 as a result
of a non-recurring tax credit on a bad debt in 2016 and an increase in additional profits tax for Zimplats in the 
current year.

The Group's mine-to-market output was 1.28 (2016: 1.25) million platinum ounces. Lower deliveries from Marula and 
Two Rivers were offset by higher volumes from Impala and Zimplats. Third-party platinum production increased by 
35% to 246 700 ounces. Consequently, gross refined platinum production increased by 6.4% to 1.53 million ounces. 

The cash preservation programme has continued. Capital expenditure of R3.43 billion was maintained at similar 
levels to the previous year (2016: R3.56 billion). Over the last year, R1.14 billion was spent on the two development 
shafts, 16 and 20, at Impala Rustenburg. In other areas, additional capital was deferred as a response to the ongoing 
low-price environment. Cost containment has also been successful with the Group recording cost savings in excess of 
R1 billion over the last two years.  

Importantly, Implats has further strengthened its balance sheet through the conclusion of the R6.5 billion new
convertible bond issue, which was raised mainly to early refinance the 2018 convertible bonds of R4.5 billion. 
At 30 June 2017, R300 million and US$29 million of the 2018 convertible bonds remain unredeemed and will be settled 
on maturity in February 2018. 

Cash generated from operations reduced to R1.0 (2016: R2.7) billion mainly as a result of the operating challenges
at Impala Rustenburg. At year end, the Group had gross cash of R7.8 (2016: R6.8) billion on hand and R4 billion in 
unutilised bank debt facilities, which remain available until 2021.
 
Impala Rustenburg: Impala Rustenburg was impacted by two extraordinary events that reduced output during the year. 
The first event was the fire at 14 Shaft in January 2016, resulting in the temporary closure of the decline section 
at this shaft to effect repairs. The second event was the collapse of ground incident at 1 Shaft in May 2016, resulting 
in the introduction of reduced UG2 panel lengths in certain areas. The required work at both the shafts has progressed 
well. The rehabilitation work at the 14 Shaft decline was completed ahead of schedule in April 2017. Production from 
1 Shaft will be back at steady state from July 2017.   

During the first half of the financial year, the Impala Rustenburg operations were significantly impacted by Section 54 
safety stoppages. Following close engagement between management, employees and government authorities, there has been a 
notable reduction in all stoppages, including Section 54 stoppages.  It is hoped that the relentless pursuit of compliance 
with safety policies will result in further reductions in Section 54s and internal stoppages.   

During May 2015, Implats raised R3.9 billion in equity for the purpose of completing construction of the new 16 and 
20 shafts in order for those shafts to ramp up to steady state production. At the end of June 2017, R2.4 billion of 
the money raised had been spent, leaving a balance of R1.5 billion.
 
At 30 June 2017, the work anticipated at the time of raising the money was 98% complete for 16 Shaft and 92% for 20 Shaft. 
Both projects have been thoroughly reviewed to determine their ability to deliver 310 000 platinum ounces sustainably. 
The tonnage and grade expectations from the mine layout have been re-affirmed, but logistic studies have revealed that 
additional ore and men/material capacity will be required at full production. At both the shafts it also became necessary 
to line ore passes that experience excessive scaling. At 16 Shaft, the third phase of the refrigeration requirements 
has now been added to the scope to complete the project as it will now be required in the medium-term. Collectively, 
a total of R2.2 billion remains to be spent on these projects over the next five years. Given the R1.5 billion 
remaining from the equity raise, there is a shortfall of R700 million to complete the projects. The inclusion of 
these items above have now reduced the project completion percentages to 86% and 88% for 16 and 20 shafts, respectively. 

An Impala Rustenburg mining optimisation project was initiated in January 2017, one of several initiatives being 
implemented to ensure that Impala returns to profitability. A priority target of returning Impala to a cash neutral 
position by 2019 has now been set assuming the current low platinum price environment remains as is. This incorporates 
an assessment of each shaft and production area and will result in a mining complex that is likely to be somewhat 
different to the large and intricate operation that is known today. This may lead to the disposal or suspensions or 
harvesting of marginal and loss-making shafts. Such decisions, will be made in the best interests of all stakeholders, 
the sustainability of the Group and with restoration of shareholders returns.

Impala's leadership has been strengthened and realigned to ensure that a fit for purpose team is in place to drive 
performance, to increase production volumes, and improve efficiencies and productivity.

Marula: Mining activities at Marula were severely disrupted by community protest action resulting in the operation 
producing only 67 900 (2016: 77 700) ounces of platinum in concentrate. Community members are dissatisfied with 
the way their 50% interest in the Makgomo Chrome project is being managed by the community's appointed leaders, 
leading to the suspension of all chrome operations from February 2017 to date.

Prior to the end of the financial year, an organisational restructuring was successfully completed to better position 
the mine for future profitability in the prevailing low-price environment. Overall staff complement has reduced by 
some 980 people, including retrenchments of 268 own employees through a Section 189 process through the closure of 
the unprofitable hybrid section at Clapham. Operations are now focused on the low cost footwall section at Clapham. 
Production levels have improved over recent months and the focus is on retaining this momentum.

While ongoing engagement with all stakeholders to address community concerns and external disruptions show progress, 
it is imperative the operation become cash generative within the immediate short-term. If Marula does not meet the 
stated objective of being cash neutral at Group level for whatever reason, there will be no other option but to 
suspend operations.

Zimplats: The redevelopment of Bimha Mine has progressed as planned and the mine is successfully ramping up to reach
full production in April 2018. By utilising additional material mined from the temporary opencast section, platinum 
production was maintained at 281 100 ounces in matte for the year. The development of the US$264 million Mupani Mine 
(Portal 6) was approved in November 2016 and the new underground mining complex, with a design capacity of 2.2 million 
tonnes per annum, is targeted to reach full production in 2025. Mupani, a replacement portal for the Rukodzi and 
Ngwarati Mines, will sustain the mining operation well into the future. 

The focus is now on generating cash for the Group and to this end a dividend policy of 3.5 time headline earnings has
been approved by the Zimplats board.

Mimosa: Regrettably, Mimosa incurred one fatality during the year. Operations were sustained through the low-price
environment to record another exceptional year. The operation produced a record, 121 600 ounces of platinum in concentrate,
its highest production level ever. The feasibility study for the construction of a smelter at Mimosa has been completed, 
to align with the Zimbabwean Government's beneficiation ambitions, but which is unaffordable in the new normal pricing
environment. Mimosa is continuing to consult government with regard to the proposed implementation of a 15% export levy
on unbeneficiated platinum, which has been deferred to 1 January 2018. It has been communicated that neither the
smelter nor the export levy is affordable and could result in mine closure. 

Two Rivers: Two Rivers posted another outstanding year in terms of safety and production. This operation has been
fatality free for more than five years and produced 181 900 ounces of platinum in concentrate. Two Rivers is Implats'
lowest-cost producer and has now secured optionality to maintain and potentially increase its production levels through 
access to the Tamboti mineral rights. When these rights are transferred into Two Rivers, Implats' interest in Two Rivers 
will decrease from 49% to 46%.

IRS: IRS remains an important Group asset. Over the last year, the unit delivered platinum production of 875 200 
(2016: 811 500) ounces from a combination of mine-to-market operations, third-party purchases, and toll volumes. 
One of the major opportunities for the Group is IRS's access to spare smelting and refining capacity from Impala 
to ensure the processing of planned production from other operations and contracted third-party material, as 
well as additional material from new customers. 

Market review
Overall demand for PGMs from major demand sectors remained stable during 2016 and into the first half of 2017. 
Demand for platinum was supported by a combination of rising vehicle sales and higher loadings in Western Europe, 
as well as increased industrial requirements in both North America and China. Palladium demand remained healthy on 
the back of increasing vehicle sales in China and the US. Increased demand from the automotive and chemical industries
underpinned rhodium.

On the other hand, the primary supply of PGMs remained constrained, while secondary supply was muted, recovering only
in the last months of the 2016 calendar year on the back of higher steel and palladium/rhodium prices. The secondary
supply of platinum, however, experienced an unusual hike as Chinese jewellery stocks were recycled. 

The supply environment remains under continued risk largely due to a lack of capital investment. The low rand prices
continue to place unprofitable shafts at risk, along with challenges related to safety incidents and associated
operational stoppages, as well as increasing production costs. 

Market performance 
The platinum and palladium markets remained in fundamental deficit for most of the year, and there was a small surplus
in the rhodium market. The platinum price ended this financial year 11% lower at US$922 per ounce, compared to the
start of the financial year (US$1 033 per ounce). The average price for the year was 4% higher at US$988 per ounce, 
compared to the previous financial year. 

Platinum price movements during the year continued to show a disconnect to market fundamentals, which made platinum
pricing susceptible to investor sentiment around global risk. Additionally, anti-diesel sentiment in Europe/India and 
the fall in Chinese jewellery demand continue to weigh on platinum prices.

Negative sentiment towards the internal combustion engine, and diesel in particular, has increased over the last 
12 months. Much is being made of battery electric vehicles as the solution to effective carbon dioxide and NOx reduction.
However, to be truly effective, these will require a significant increase in renewable energy generation, which is
potentially decades away. It is interesting to note that the reduction in diesel vehicle share in the Western European 
market has been offset by an increase in sales of gasoline vehicles, not battery. Growth in the electric vehicle space 
has been via hybrid vehicle sales, which do provide a more immediate answer to emissions reductions. Given the introduction 
of Real Driving Emissions (RDE) testing, these will require higher loadings of PGM's to negotiate the more frequent
'stop-start' conditions.

In contrast, palladium prices were 42% higher at US$841 per ounce, compared to the start of the financial year 
(US$593 per ounce). Palladium prices reached a high of US$900 per ounce during June 2017, while the average price 
for the year was US$737 per ounce. Support for palladium was driven by robust demand from autocatalyst fabricators, 
positive sentiment towards the automobile sector and expectations of further palladium price gains. 

Rhodium performed exceptionally well, showing the largest rally in the PGM basket for the year. Rhodium prices closed
the financial year 60% higher at US$1 018 per ounce after opening at US$638 per ounce. The average price for the year
was US$803 per ounce, largely on the back of the absence of liquidity and the increasing demand from both the automotive
and industrial sectors.

The gradual recovery of the global economy, with the anticipated revival in industrial production and consumer demand,
is expected to be the biggest driver of increased PGM demand in the medium to long-term. The platinum and palladium
markets are expected to remain in a fundamental deficit in 2017, while rhodium is expected to remain in a small surplus. 

Implats expects a slight decline in the use of platinum in the automotive industry in 2017, in favour of palladium and
driven by an increasing share of gasoline vehicle sales. However, with increasing palladium prices, it is forecast that
research into the back substitution of platinum in three-way catalysts will result in increased usage of platinum in
gasoline engines in the coming years. 

Current environment 
The mining industry in both South Africa and Zimbabwe, the two jurisdictions where the Group operates, is characterised 
by rapidly increasing uncertainty. This is evidenced by the gazetting and then suspension of the new Mining Charter in 
South Africa and increased calls for beneficiation as well as a potential 15% export levy on un-beneficiated platinum 
in Zimbabwe. Community activism continues to escalate and poses a material risk to sustainable mining operations. 
These are risks that require considerable attention at executive level. To supplement the Group's existing executive 
capability, action has been taken to develop strength in and across the leadership team.  

Internally, progress has been made over the last two years to ensure cost saving and optimisation throughout the
Group, while advancing commitments related to our social licence to operate, which continue to benefit Implats' 
wide-ranging group of stakeholders. Increased organisational effectiveness is, however, required to improve the 
delivery of cost effective ounces. Senior leadership changes have been made and will continue across the Group 
with the primary objective being improved role clarity and accountability. Systems are being introduced to improve 
interdivisional relationships so that these are more collaborative and value adding. 

Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves
There is no material change in Implats' total attributable Mineral Resource estimate at 30 June 2017, which reduced by
2.4 million ounces of platinum to 191.6 million from that reported previously in June 2016. This can mainly be ascribed
to mining depletion. The grouping of platinum ounces per reef shows that the Zimplats Mineral Resource makes up 49% of
the total Implats inventory.

Overall the total attributable Group Mineral Reserve estimate did not change significantly and increased by 0.8 million 
ounces of platinum to 22.4 million as at 30 June 2017 compared to 21.6 million platinum ounces in the previous financial 
year. Some 54% of the total attributable Mineral Reserves are located at Impala and a further 33% is hosted within the 
Main Sulphide Zone at Zimplats.

Prospects and outlook
One of the core pillars of Implats' strategy has been to strengthen the balance sheet and this has necessitated an
enhanced focus on capital allocation and cash management. This is continuing as a focused priority. Implats has one of the
best-in-sector balance sheets and this strength is, and will be, a critical element of its ambition to develop strategic
optionality. The enforcement of strict capital allocation will be equally important as management re-examines the
Impala Rustenburg's investment case. 

It is imperative to continue developing the Group's strategic agility. Market dynamics are being re-examined,
specifically long-term price forecasts, and an assessment aimed at enhancing strategic optionality is also being completed,
within and beyond the current portfolio. The assessment is reviewing all operations and will result in the elimination of
loss-making production, while interrogating future dependence on high-cost, deep, conventional mining operations. Implats
is intent on securing assets that provide optionality for cheaper, shallower and mechanised resources. 

The Group has made some progress in delivering its strategic response to the current price environment. The operational 
strategy and planning is directed toward the expectation of ongoing price constraints and all operations are being
adapted to this reality. Implats remains committed to the strategic nature and future fundamentals of the PGM market. 
While short-term volatility in the demand and pricing of these rare and unique metals is recognised, they remain critical 
to the ever growing needs and requirements of a global economy, with increasing demands for cleaner air.

Given our view that current PGM prices may be the new normal, the board has decided to maintain 17 Shaft on care and
maintenance until there is more confidence in a rising metal price environment. 

The transition to a more concentrated, low cost operation at Impala Rustenburg continues. However, a slower build-up
at 16 and 20 Shafts, lower production levels at the mature shafts and the earlier closure of the end-of-life shafts will
impact on the production profile over the next five years. It is now expected that 750 000 ounces of platinum will be
achieved in 2022. This may be further affected by the strategic review being conducted. 

A tremendous amount of excellent work has been done to facilitate acceptance within the Group's host communities and
to secure relationships with government and other authorities. This will remain a key focus area as commitments to
responsible environmental stewardship and the wellbeing of employees are unwavering. 

For the next financial year, production estimates are as follows:
- Rustenburg - between 680 000 and 720 000 ounces
- Marula - 85 000 platinum ounces in concentrate
- Zimplats - 260 000 platinum ounces in matte
- Two Rivers - 175 000 platinum ounces in concentrate
- Mimosa - 115 000 - 120 000 platinum ounces in concentrate.

The Group's operating cost is expected to be less than R23 100 per platinum ounce for the next financial year.

    Implats entered into a CCIRS amounting to US$200 million to hedge the foreign exchange risk on the US$ convertible bonds,
    being: exchange rate risk on the dollar interest payments and the risk of a future cash settlement of the bonds at a 
    rand-dollar exchange rate weaker than R9.24/US$. US$200 million was swapped for R1 848 million on which Implats pays a 
    fixed interest rate to Standard Bank of 5.94%. Implats receives the 1% coupon on the US$200 million on the same date which 
    Implats pays-on externally to the bond holders. During June 2017, Implats cancelled the CCIRS and paid an amount of 
    R1 839 million for the receipt of US$200 million.    

    No hedge accounting has been applied.

                                                                     2017          2016

7.2 Cross Currency Interest Rate Swap (CCIRS) (2022)     
    Implats entered into a CCIRS amounting to $250 million to hedge the foreign exchange risk on the US$ convertible bond, 
    being: exchange rate risk on the dollar interest payments and the risk of a future cash settlement of the bonds at a 
    rand-dollar exchange rate weaker than R13.025/US$. US$250 million was swapped for R3 256 million on which Implats 
    pays a fixed interest rate to Standard Bank of 9.8%. Implats receives the 3.25% coupon on the US$250 million on the 
    same date which Implats pays-on externally to the bond holders and the interest thereon. In June 2022, Implats will 
    receive $250 million for a payment of R3 256 million.                                         

    The CCIRS is carried at its fair value of R49 million. No hedge accounting has been applied.    

7.3 Conversion option - US$ convertible bond (2022) (note 9.5) 
    The US$ bond holders have the option to convert the bonds to Implats shares (subject to shareholders' approval) at a 
    price of $3.89. The value of this conversion option was R559 million at initial recognition. The conversion option is 
    carried at its fair value of R547 million, resulting in a R12 million profit for the period. At the general meeting 
    held by shareholders' on 24 July 2017, the approval to settle this option by means of Implats shares was obtained. 
    Given this option is US$ denominated it does not meet the definition of equity (fixed number of shares for fixed 
    amount) and will continue to be accounted for as a derivative financial instrument in future.    

7.4 Conversion option - ZAR convertible bond (2022) (note 9.4)
    The ZAR bond holders have the option to convert the bonds to Implats shares (subject to shareholders' approval) at 
    a price of R50.01. The value of this conversion option was R676 million at initial recognition. The conversion option 
    is carried at its fair value of R637 million, resulting in a R39 million profit for the period. At the general meeting 
    held by shareholders' on 24 July 2017, the approval to settle this option by means of Implats shares was obtained. 
    This option meets the definition of equity and will therefore be accounted within equity from 24 July 2017.

    The write-down to net realisable value comprises R78 million (2016: R106 million) for refined mining metal and 
    R948 million (2016: R558 million) for in-process mining metal.                                

    Included in refined metal is metal on lease to third parties of 36 000 ounces (2016: 36 000 ounces) ruthenium.

    Quantities of recoverable metal are reconciled by comparing the grades of ore to the quantities of metal actually 
    recovered (metallurgical balancing). The nature of this process inherently limits the ability to precisely monitor 
    recoverability levels. As a result, the metallurgical balancing process is constantly monitored and the engineering 
    estimates are refined based on actual results over time. Changes in engineering estimates of metal contained in-process 
    resulted in an increase of in-process metal of R376 (2016: R384) million.                                
    Non-mining metal consists mainly of inventory held by Impala Refining Services. No inventories are encumbered.

9.1 Standard Bank Limited - Zimplats term loan
    US $ denominated revolving credit facility of R1 111 (US$85) million bears interest at three-month London Interbank
    Offered Rate (LIBOR) plus 700 (2016: 700) basis points. During the year the facility was decreased from US$95 million  
    to $85 million and the loan repayments were renegotiated. The facility will now be repaid in two equal annual payments
    commencing in December 2018. Previously it commenced in December 2017 with final maturity in December 2018. At the end 
    of the period, the US dollar balance amounted to US$85 (2016: US$85) million.

9.2 Convertible bonds - ZAR (2018)
    The ZAR denominated bonds have a par value of R2 672 million and carry a coupon of 5% (R133.6 million) per annum. 
    The coupon is payable semi-annually for a period of five years ending 21 February 2018. The bond holder has the option 
    to convert the bonds to Implats' shares at a price of R214.90. The value of this compound instrument's equity portion
    relating to conversion was R319 million (before tax) on issue. In May 2017, Implats made an offer to all bond holders to
    re-purchase their bonds at face value, which offer was conditional on the issue of the ZAR and US$ 2022 bonds. 89% of the
    bonds holders accepted the offer. This resulted in R79 million being accounted for within equity, being the deemed cost for
    89% of the conversion option. The effective interest rate on the remaining balance of the bond is 8.5% (2016: 8.5%).
            
9.3 Convertible bonds - US$ (2018)
    The US$ denominated bonds have a par value of US$200 million and carry a coupon of 1% (US$2 million) per annum. The
    coupon is payable semi-annually for a period of five years ending 21 February 2018. The bond holder has the option to
    convert the bonds to Implats' shares at a price of US$24.13. The value of this conversion option derivative was R106
    million at initial recognition. Implats also offered to re-purchase these bonds at face value and 85% of the bond holders
    accepted. The effective interest rate on the remaining balance of the bond is 3.1% (2016: 3.1%). (Refer note 9 for
    information regarding the CCIRS entered into to hedge foreign exchange risk on this bond.)

9.4 Convertible bonds - ZAR (2022) (note 7.1)
    The ZAR denominated bonds have a par value of R3 250 million and carry a coupon of 6.375% (R207.2 million) per annum.
    The coupon is payable semi-annually for a period of five years ending 7 June 2022. The bond holder has the option to
    convert the bonds to Implats' shares at a price of R50.01. The value of this conversion option derivative was R676 million
    on issue. Subsequent to year end, at the general meeting held by shareholders, shareholders approval to settle this
    option by means of Implats shares was obtained, which will result in the bond being accounted for as a compound instrument
    which will result in the derivative being transferred into equity. Implats has the option to call the bonds at par plus
    accrued interest at any time if the aggregate value of the underlying shares per bond for a specified period of time is
    130% or more of the principal amount of that bond. The effective interest rate of the bond is 12.8%.

9.5 Convertible bonds - US$ (2022) (note 7.3)
    The US $ denominated bonds have a par value of US$250 million and carry a coupon of 3.25% (US$8.1 million) per annum.
    The coupon is payable semi-annually for a period of five years ending 7 June 2022. The bond holder has the option to
    convert the bonds to Implats' shares at a price of US$3.89. The value of this conversion option derivative was 
    R559 million at initial recognition. Implats has the option to call the bonds at par plus accrued interest at any time 
    if the aggregate value of the underlying shares per bond for a specified period of time is 130% or more of the principal 
    amount of that bond. The effective interest rate is 8.38%. (Refer note 7 for additional information regarding the conversion 
    and the CCIRS entered into to hedge foreign exchange risk on this bond.)

    Facilities 
    At 30 June 2017, the Group had signed committed facility agreements for a total of R4.0 (June 2016: R4.0) billion.

    In addition, Zimplats has a US$34 (2016: $24) million revolving credit facility of which US$24 (June 2016: US$24) million 
    was drawn at the end of the year.
