Similarly, the term loan facility amount will reduce from R4.0 billion ($466.7 million) to R3.5 billion ($408.4 million) on the earliest of the date on which Sibanye Gold’s Board of Directors declares a final dividend in respect of the financial year ending December 2013 or the first anniversary of the Spin-Off. The final maturity date of the facilities is 18 months after the Spin-Off (August 18, 2014).

The purpose of the Rand bridge loan facilities is to refinance Sibanye Gold’s debt as detailed above under the other rand long-term revolving credit facilities and the other rand short-term credit facilities on Spin-Off, with the balance of the Rand bridge loan facilities to be used to fund Sibanye Gold’s ongoing capital expenditure, working capital and general corporate expenditure requirements.

Sibanye Gold will cede all of its rights, title and interest in and to the Indemnity Agreement in favour of the lenders of the Rand bridge loan facility, jointly and severally, as security for its obligations under the facilities. Sibanye Gold must lodge and register a security package for its obligations under the facilities within six months from the Spin-Off if it is not released as a guarantor under the Notes (refer note 14(f)) at such point in time. The Indemnity Agreement is discussed in note 14(f).

The Rand bridge loan facilities bear interest at JIBAR plus a margin of 3.00% per annum for 12 months after the Spin-Off and 3.50% per annum for the last six months of the facilities. If Sibanye Gold is not released as a guarantor under the Notes within six months from Spin-Off, the margin will increase to 3.25% per annum for the six to 12 months period after Spin-Off and 3.75% per annum for the last six months of the facilities. Sibanye Gold is required to pay a quarterly commitment fee of 35% of the applicable margin per annum calculated on the undrawn portion of the facilities.

The facilities were undrawn at December 31, 2012.

Subsequent to year end, on February 18, 2013, the rand revolving credit facilities and the short-term rand credit facilities were refinanced by drawing down under these facilities.
