The transaction was subject to the fulfilment of various conditions precedent which were completed on 12 April 2016, when Sibanye paid R4,301.5 million to the Aquarius shareholders and obtained control (100%) of Aquarius. On 9 September 2015, Sibanye announced that it had entered into written agreements with Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited (“RPM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum to acquire the Bathopele, Siphumelele (including Khomanani), and Thembelani (including Khuseleka) mining operations, two concentrating plants, an on-site chrome recovery plant, the Western Limb Tailings Retreatment Plant, associated surface infrastructure and related assets and liabilities on a going concern basis, including normalised levels of working capital (the “Rustenburg Operations”) (the “Rustenburg Operations Transaction”). The purchase consideration comprises an upfront payment of R1.5 billion at the closing of the Rustenburg Operations Transaction (“Closing”) and a deferred payment calculated as being equal to 35% of the distributable free cash flow generated by the Rustenburg Operations over a six year period from the later of Closing or 1 January 2017 (“Deferred Payment”), subject to a minimum payment of R3.0 billion. In addition to the Deferred Payment, which allows for a favourable extended payment period; should the Rustenburg Operations generate negative distributable free cash flows in either 2016, 2017 or 2018, RPM will be required to pay up to R267 million per annum to ensure that the free cash flow for the relevant year is equal to zero. On 19 October 2016, Sibanye obtained consent in terms of section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources Development Act for the transfer of the mining right and prospecting right pursuant to the Rustenburg Operations Transaction, and control of the Rustenburg Operations on this date.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared for illustrative purposes only and, because of its nature, addresses a hypothetical situation and does not reflect our actual financial position or results of operations or cash flows in any period, including future periods. The unaudited pro forma adjustments and unaudited consolidated pro forma financial data set out in this report are based on available information and certain assumptions and estimates that Sibanye believes are reasonable and may differ from actual adjusted amounts. A final determination of the fair value of the assets and liabilities of the Rustenburg Operations and Stillwater that have been or will be acquired in the acquisitions, will be based on the actual net tangible and intangible assets of these businesses that have been or will be acquired in the acquisitions that existed as of the date of completion of the applicable acquisition.
