(a)On 3 December 2025, the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) announced the cessation of the JIBAR as of 31 December
2026. South Africa's financial market is moving away from the JIBAR benchmark to the South African Rand Overnight Index
Average (ZARONIA). As these facilities’ agreements makes provision for the use of replacement benchmarks for determining
interest rates, the impact of the South African IBOR reform is expected to be immaterial.
(b)This facility can only be drawn down for qualifying projects.
(c)Initially ten equal bi-annual instalments starting from June 2024, with the final instalment on maturity. Due to the delay in the
project process, and the resultant impact on the drawdowns, the lenders have agreed to amend the repayments to nine equal
bi-annual instalments starting from November 2024. The period of the draw down has lapsed, therefore the balance of the
facility is no longer available.
(d)On 26 June 2025, a bridge facility agreement between Harmony, Harmony Australia and a syndicate of lenders was
concluded. The purpose of the agreement was to secure funding to finance the acquisition of MAC Copper and related costs
(refer to note 13 for further information). Under the agreement, a US$250 million facility (Facility A) and a US$1 billion facility
(Facility B) were made available to Harmony Australia and Harmony, respectively. The tenure of the loan is 364 days with a
six-month extension option. The period of the draw down has lapsed therefore, the balance of the facility is no longer
available. The six-month extension option has been utilised.
Origination fees of R253 million were incurred for the facility. These fees are regarded as an integral part of the effective
interest rate of the facility and are treated as transaction costs during the 2026 financial year.
(e)On 24 October 2025, Harmony took over the senior syndicated facility from MAC Copper. On 28 October 2025 the
outstanding balance was fully repaid and the facility was extinguished. Refer to note 13.

Refinancing of facilities
On 25 June 2026 Harmony concluded on the new syndicated multi-tranche, multi-currency loan facilities which will be used, in part,
to refinance the existing US$ and Rand syndicated facilities entered into in 2022, the MAC Copper acquisition bridge facility, and to
support general corporate purposes. The facilities were undrawn at 30 June 2026. Refer to note 39 for events after the reporting
date.

The US$ and Rand RCFs as well as the A$ facilities are linked to certain sustainability-linked key performance indicators (ESG
KPIs), which will be measured annually for the next three financial years and will result in changes to interest rate margins. The
adjustments to interest rate margins for each financial year's ESG performance would impact the following financial year. The
respective ESG KPIs are as follows:
KPI

Renewable energy

electricity capacity (MW).

Origination fees of R230 million were incurred for the facilities. These fees are regarded as an integral part of the effective interest
rate of the facilities. Since no drawdowns on the facilities have taken place as at 30 June 2026, though still being regarded as
probable in the future, these origination fees have been deferred and will be treated as a transaction cost when a draw-down of the
facilities takes place.
Debt covenants
The debt covenant tests for both the Rand and US dollar facilities are as follows:
•The group's interest cover ratio shall be more than five times (EBITDA1/ Total interest paid)
•Leverage2 shall not be more than 2.5 times.
1Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA), as defined in the agreement excludes extraordinary items such as impairment,
restructuring cost and gains/losses on disposal of fixed assets.
2Leverage is defined as total net debt to EBITDA.
Debt covenants tests were performed for the loan facilities for the 2026 and 2025 financial years and no breaches were noted. For
the 2026 financial year, the group's interest cover ratio was 49.7 times (2025: 97.3 times), while the group's leverage was 0.02
(2025: negative 0.4). Management believes that it is very likely that the covenant requirements will be met in the foreseeable future
given the current earnings and interest levels.
The current debt covenant tests remain unchanged under the new facilities.
