Sibanye-Stillwater (Tickers JSE: SSW and NYSE: SBSW – https://www.commodity-tv.com/play/sibanye-stillwater-virtual-roadshow-investor-presentation-with-qa-q3-2021/ ) is pleased to advise that in line with its capital allocation framework it has elected to redeem its US$353,670,000 June 2022 Bonds (the Bonds) on 02 August 2021 (the Redemption Date).  The redemption will be done through its wholly owned subsidiary, Stillwater Mining Company (SMC) and the redemption price is 100 % of the principal amount of the Bonds, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Bonds up to, but excluding, the Redemption Date, amounting to US$355,776,055.73 (US$1,005.954861 per US$1,000 stated principal amount of Bonds).

The 2022 Bonds were issued by SMC for an aggregate nominal value of US$500,000,000 on 27 June 2017, with a maturity date of 27 June 2022.  The issued nominal value was reduced to US$353,670,000 in September 2018, following a partial repurchase of the Bonds. Given surplus liquidity within the Group the Bonds will now be settled in full.

CEO, Neal Froneman commented: “Strong operational performance and commodity prices have enabled an early reduction of gross debt and related interest costs. This is consistent with our published capital allocation model, and is complementary to other value enhancing initiatives such as the recent share buyback.  The group remains well on track to create superior value for all stakeholders.”
