Johannesburg. Thursday, 11 June 2020.

The Resolutions as set out in the notice of the Extraordinary General Meeting forming part of the Company’s circular to Harmony shareholders, in connection with the Harmony board’s proposal to seek the authority to issue ordinary shares for cash (pursuant to a general authority to issue ordinary shares for cash and/or by way of a vendor consideration placing), for a maximum aggregate subscription consideration of up to US$200 million.

The subscription proceeds (the “Potential Equity Capital Raising”) will be used by the Company to fund a part of the consideration payable for the acquisition of AngloGold Ashanti's South African business as announced by the Company on 12 February 2020.

The market will be accessed at the discretion of the Company. Further announcements regarding the Potential Equity Capital Raising will be made at the appropriate time.

“We successfully increased the value of our asset portfolio over the past 4 years by acquiring 100% of Hidden Valley (approximately 190 000 ounces of gold) in Papua New Guinea and then adding a further 250 000 quality ounces of gold through the acquisition of Moab Khotsong in South Africa. The planned acquisition of Mponeng and Mine Waste Solutions will further enhance Harmony's near-term production by adding annual gold production of approximately 350 000 ounces of gold. Section 11 approval (in terms of the Minerals and Petroleum Resources Development Act) of the transaction is now the only condition precedent outstanding. Once approved, the integration of these assets will allow Harmony to further unlock value for its shareholders through increased grades and stronger margins”, Harmony’s chief executive officer, Peter Steenkamp, said.

“The return-to-work process at Harmony is progressing well, with all of our COVID-19 processes and procedures being strictly adhered to. We anticipate being back in full production towards the middle of July 2020”, Peter Steenkamp added.
