Absolute TSR^{1, 4}		0	%		100	%		200	%
Relative TSR^{1, 3, 4}		0	%		100	%		200	%
FCFM²		0	%		100	%		200	%

1	Absolute TSR and relative TSR: Linear vesting will occur between target and stretch (no vesting occurs for performance below target).

3	The peer group consists of 10 companies: AngloGold Ashanti, Goldcorp, Barrick, Eldorado Gold, Randgold, Yamana, Agnico Eagle, Kinross, Newmont and Newcrest.

TSR will be calculated as the compounded annual growth rate (“CAGR”) of the TSR index between the average of the 60 trading days up to the first day of the performance period and the average of the 60 trading days up to the last day of the performance period. TSR will be defined as the return on investing in ordinary shares in the Company at the start of the performance period, holding the shares and reinvesting the dividends received on the portfolio in Gold Fields shares over the performance period. The USD TSR index, provided by external service providers will be based on the US$ share price.

The fair value of equity instruments granted during the year ended 31 December 2017 and 2016 were valued using the Monte Carlo simulation model:
Monte Carlo simulation
Performance shares
This model is used to value the performance shares. The inputs to the model for options granted during the year were as follows:
- weighted average historical volatility (based on a statistical analysis of the share price on a weighted moving average basis for the expected term of the option)		64.3	%		58.1	%
- expected term (years)		3 years			3 years
- dividend yield¹		n/a			n/a
- weighted average three-year risk free interest rate (based on US interest rates)		1.6	%		0.5	%
- weighted average fair value (United States dollars)		4.2			2.6

There is no dividend yield applied to the Monte Carlo simulation model as the performance conditions follow a total shareholder return method.
