(Registration number: 1946/022452/06)
Share Code: AMS
ISIN: ZAE000013181
(“the Company" or "Anglo American Platinum")

Anglo American Platinum notes the positive outcome of the Sibanye Gold Limited ("Sibanye") shareholder vote which was overwhelmingly in favour of the transaction in which Sibanye has agreed to acquire the Rustenburg operations from Anglo American Platinum ("the Transaction").

Sibanye shareholder approval was one of the conditions precedent to the Transaction. Following such approval and as set out in the Company’s announcement on 9 September 2015, a number of other conditions now need to be satisfied, including the approval of the Transaction by the South African Competition Authorities and the granting of consent in terms of section 11 of the MPRDA for the sale of the Mining Right and the Prospecting Right to Sibanye pursuant to the Transaction.

Further announcements will be made as appropriate as the Transaction progresses.
