SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN AWARDS
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 to 3.74 of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements ("JSE Listings Requirements"),
Northam Holdings shareholders ("Shareholders") are hereby advised of the following dealings by a director of the
company, the company secretary and a director of a major subsidiary of the company.
LIM Award
Shareholders are referred to the company's annual general meeting held on Wednesday, 9 November 2016
("2016 AGM") wherein Shareholders, inter alia, approved the introduction of a new lock-in and incentive mechanism
("LIM") as part of the Northam Platinum Share Incentive Plan ("SIP"). The LIM was structured to incentivise (i) the
mitigation of the risks introduced by, and unique to, the guarantee provided by Northam Platinum in favour of holders of
preference shares in Zambezi Platinum (RF) Limited ("Zambezi") ("Primary LIM Objective") and (ii) the retention of
key members of Northam's senior management team ("Management") until the redemption of the Zambezi preference
shares in May 2025, pursuant to the Northam's black economic empowerment transaction with Zambezi concluded in
2015 ("BEE Transaction").
The LIM included specific Shareholder approved allocations of conditional shares in relation to the BEE Transaction
("BEE Transaction Conditional Shares") to certain members of Management, including the allocation of
700 000 BEE Transaction Conditional Shares to the group's chief financial officer ("CFO Allocation").
Following the 2016 AGM, the previous group chief financial officer ("Previous CFO") was awarded the full
CFO Allocation. However, following the Previous CFO's resignation during the 2019 financial year, all BEE Transaction
Conditional Shares awarded to him lapsed in accordance with the SIP rules.
Thereafter, on 28 October 2020, the current group chief financial officer, Ms AH Coetzee, ("CFO") was awarded
350 000 BEE Transaction Conditional Shares, amounting to half of the CFO Allocation.
Ms Coetzee has been employed by Northam since 2015 (i.e. prior to the introduction of the LIM). She has made a
significant contribution to the financial strength of the group and the achievement of the group's acquisitive and organic
growth strategy launched in 2015, which enabled the achievement of the Primary LIM Objective upon implementation
of the early maturity of the BEE Transaction approved by Shareholders on 30 June 2021. Ms Coetzee also played a
pivotal role in the successful implementation of the early maturity of the BEE Transaction.
Accordingly, on Friday, 25 October 2024, the group's remuneration committee ("Committee") approved the award of a
further 350 000 BEE Transaction Conditional Shares ("LIM Award") to the CFO; thereby increasing the CFO's total
allocation of BEE Transaction Conditional Shares to the CFO Allocation of 700 000 BEE Transaction Conditional Shares
as approved by Shareholders at the 2016 AGM.
