| The unissued ordinary shares (excluding shares reserved for the share option scheme) are under the control of the directors until
the forthcoming annual general meeting. |

| Preference shares |
The preference shares are convertible into ordinary shares at a conversion price of R284.24 at the election of the shareholder, at
any time on or before the final conversion date, being the fifth anniversary of the issue date, 31 May 2009. Thereafter the preference
shares are callable into perpetuity by the Company, either through redemption or acquisition. Preference shares which are not
converted nor callable by the Company will continue to exist as preference shares. Dividends, if declared, are paid six-monthly in
arrears at 6.38% per annum. The dividend dates are 31 May and
30 November.
In accordance with the rights and privileges attached to the allotment and issue of the convertible preference shares, it is necessary
to adjust the conversion price applicable to the convertible preference shares in instances where Anglo Platinum's dividend cover,
as reflected in the annual financial statements for the relevant financial year, is less than
1.4 times. |
