Accounting policy
Non-controlling interests
The Group recognises any NCI in an acquiree either at fair value or at the NCI's proportionate share of the acquiree’s net assets on an
acquisition-by-acquisition basis. Subsequently, the carrying amount of NCI is the amount of the interest at initial recognition plus the NCI’s
subsequent share of changes in equity.
Transactions with non-controlling interests
The Group treats transactions with NCI as transactions with equity owners of the Group. For purchases from NCI, the difference between
any consideration paid and the relevant share of the carrying value of the net assets acquired, is recognised in equity. Gains or losses on
disposals of NCI where control is not lost are also recognised in equity. Where control over a subsidiary is lost, the gains or losses are
recognised in profit or loss.
The Group’s NCI relates to the following subsidiaries:

26.1 Subsequent NCI transactions
DRDGOLD transaction
DRDGOLD is a company incorporated in South Africa with its head office in Johannesburg. DRDGOLD’s primary listing is on the JSE Limited
and its secondary listing is on the New York Stock Exchange. DRDGOLD's production is derived from retreatment of surface tailings in South
Africa. Following Sibanye-Stillwater’s exercise of its option to acquire an additional 12.05% in DRDGOLD effective 10 January 2020, NCI held
a 49.90% at 31 December 2025 (2024: 49.90% and 2023: 49.90%) with an effective holding of 49.90% at 31 December 2025 (2024: 49.77% and
2023: 49.72%) after considering the impact of treasury shares held by DRDGOLD. In calculating the reattribution to NCI, the Group used the
net asset value of DRDGOLD at the effective date of the option exercise, including the consideration paid for the subscription, and
determined a reattribution between NCI and the Group.
During 2025, the Group subscribed for 1,400,000 newly issued shares by DRDGOLD at an average price of R32.18 per share, amounting to a
total purchase consideration of R45 million
Keliber transactions
2023
On 25 April 2023 the Finnish Minerals Group increased its holding in Keliber from 14% to 20% by subscribing for EUR53.9 million (R1,096 million)
of a EUR104 million rights issue. The Group's portion of the subscription (through wholly-owned subsidiary, Keliber Lithium Proprietary Limited)
amounted to EUR50.2 million (R1,009 million), which is eliminated on a Sibanye-Stillwater Group level. In addition to the rights issue, other
minority shareholders in Keliber (which held 0.79% of the total Keliber shareholding) for which the Group previously recognised an
accelerated put option liability at 31 December 2022, received and accepted voluntary offers at the same share price (EUR157.28 per
share) as the voluntary offer that concluded in 2022. A total payment of EUR5.2 million (R103 million) was made by the Group to all the
shareholders who accepted the voluntary offers during June 2023. Following these transactions, the Finnish Minerals Group holds 20% in
Keliber, the Group retained 79.82%, while other minority shareholders hold the balance of the shares in Keliber.
The table below summarises the above transactions that occurred during 2023 and the impact thereof on the equity attributable to the
owners of Sibanye-Stillwater:

as a result of the revised shareholders agreement (see note 21.2). This transaction did not result in a cash flow.
Century transactions
Sibanye-Stillwater acquired additional shares in Century through its original take-over offer subsequent to the effective date of the
acquisition. On 10 May 2023, Sibanye-Stillwater, through on-and off-market trades, obtained a 100% interest in Century through cash
consideration paid of A$74 million (R906 million) for the additional 49.85% interest in Century.
The table below illustrates the effect of the remaining interest acquired in Century on equity attributable to the owners of Sibanye-Stillwater
for the year ended 31 December 2023:
