TRADING STATEMENT

companies are required to publish a trading statement as soon as they are satisfied, with a reasonable
degree of certainty, that the financial results for the current reporting period will differ by at least 20% from
the financial results of the previous corresponding period.
The group expects to deliver a solid set of financial results for the year ended 30 June 2021 (“F2021”),
underpinned by production growth and an increase in PGM commodity prices, despite the backdrop of the
ongoing global COVID-19 pandemic.
The table below provides the key financial features for F2021 which the group expects to report, compared
to those reported for the year ended 30 June 2020 (“F2020”):
