Having regard to prevailing laws in their relevant jurisdictions, foreign shareholders may be affected by the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of JCI shares by R&E. As such, foreign shareholders in certain jurisdictions outside of South Africa may not be entitled to take transfer of any of the settlement GFI shares distributed and JCI shares unbundled by R&E. In the case of any such shares which an ineligible foreign shareholder is precluded from taking transfer of, the Board of R&E recommends that such shares be lodged on behalf of the ineligible foreign shareholders with a trust company to be nominated by the R&E board, to be held by the said company on behalf of the ineligible foreign shareholders, to be disposed of by them for the benefit of the ineligible foreign shareholders so as to comply with the regulatory restraints of such jurisdictions, further details of which are set out in paragraph 6.2 of this Circular. Similarly, R&E shall distribute any of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundled JCI shares to which ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing such ADR holders. R&E will, in respect of ADR holders, transfer the settlement GFI shares and the unbundled JCI shares to ADR holders entitled to take transfer thereof, to BNY Mellon which may then dispose of the settlement GFI shares and/or the JCI shares on behalf of ADR holders for cash either independently or in combination and distribute the cash proceeds therefrom (net of applicable fees, expenses, taxes and charges) to such ADR holders, in proportion to such ADR holders’ entitlement to the settlement GFI shares and/or unbundled JCI shares, further details of which are set out in paragraph 6.3 of this circular. There can be no assurance as to whether the proposed mechanism will be successfully implemented, what price such ineligible foreign shareholders and ADR holders will receive from the disposal of any of the settlement GFI shares and/or unbundled JCI shares (if given effect to) or the timing or exchange rate conversion of such receipt. It should futher be noted that the JCI shares currently largely trade in the over-the-counter market in South Africa and on a limited basis. This is not an offer of securities for sale in the US or to or for the account or benefit of any “US person” and securities may not be offered or sold in the US or to a “US person” absent registration or an exemption from registration.

CIRCULAR TO R&E SHAREHOLDERS relating to:– the proposed resolution of disputes between R&E, JCI and JCIIF, the terms whereof are set out more fully in the revised Settlement

Agreement;– the transfer of the settlement GFI shares from JCI and JCIIF to R&E;– the issue of the new JCI shares by JCI to R&E;– the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders proportionate to their respective shareholdings; – the unbundling and distribution of R&E’s shareholding in JCI (which consists of both the new JCI shares per the proposed settlement

and its existing JCI shares owned pre-settlement) to the R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings; and– the ratification of the transfer of 6 690 610 FSD ordinary shares from JCI Gold to R&E;

and incorporating:– the Revised Listing Particulars of R&E;– a Notice of a General Meeting of R&E shareholders; and– a form of proxy (grey) – for use by certificated R&E shareholders and “own name” dematerialised R&E shareholders only.

Having regard to prevailing laws in their relevant jurisdictions, foreign shareholders may be affected by the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of JCI shares by R&E. As such, foreign shareholders in certain jurisdictions outside of South Africa may not be entitled to take transfer of any of the settlement GFI shares distributed and JCI shares unbundled by R&E. In the case of any such shares which an ineligible foreign shareholder is precluded from taking transfer of, the Board of R&E recommends that such shares be lodged on behalf of the ineligible foreign shareholders with a trust company to be nominated by the R&E board, to be held by the said company on behalf of the ineligible foreign shareholders, to be disposed of by them for the benefit of the ineligible foreign shareholders so as to comply with the regulatory restraints of such jurisdictions, further details of which are set out in paragraph 6.2 of this Circular. Similarly, R&E shall distribute any of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundled JCI shares to which ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing such ADR holders. R&E will, in respect of ADR holders, transfer the settlement GFI shares and the unbundled JCI shares to ADR holders entitled to take transfer thereof, to BNY Mellon which may then dispose of the settlement GFI shares and/or the JCI shares on behalf of ADR holders for cash either independently or in combination and distribute the cash proceeds therefrom (net of applicable fees, expenses, taxes and charges) to such ADR holders, in proportion to such ADR holders’ entitlement to the settlement GFI shares and/or unbundled JCI shares, further details of which are set out in paragraph 6.3 of this circular.

There can be no assurance as to whether the proposed mechanism will be successfully implemented, what price such ineligible foreign shareholders and ADR holders will receive from the disposal of any of the settlement GFI shares and/or unbundled JCI shares (if given effect to) or the timing or exchange rate conversion of such receipt. It should futher be noted that the JCI shares currently largely trade in the over-the-counter market in South Africa and on a limited basis.

This is not an offer of securities for sale in the US or to or for the account or benefit of any “US person” and securities may not be offered or sold in the US or to a “US person” absent registration or an exemption from registration.

ACTION REQUIRED BY R&E SHAREHOLDERS

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 11 of this Circular apply, mutatis mutandis, to the following action required by R&E shareholders

1. If you have disposed of all your R&E shares please forward this Circular to the purchaser of such R&E shares or the CSDP, broker, banker or other agent through whom such disposal was effected.

2. Certificated R&E shareholders or own name dematerialised shareholders who are unable to attend the R&E General Meeting to be held at 11h00 on Friday, 28 May 2010 at MW Business Centre, Michelangelo Hotel, Mandela Square, Sandton, South Africa and wish to be represented at such meeting, must complete and return the attached form of proxy in accordance with the instructions contained therein, to the South African transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services (Proprietary) Limited, Ground Floor, 70 Marshall Street, Johannesburg, 2001 (PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107) or the United Kingdom Registrars, Capita Registrars Limited, PXS, 34 Beckenham Road, Beckenham, Kent, BR3 4TU, which form of proxy, in order to be valid must be received by no later than 11h00 on Wednesday, 26 May 2010.

3. Dematerialised R&E shareholders, other than own name dematerialised R&E shareholders who wish to attend the R&E General Meeting must instruct their CSDP or broker to issue them with the necessary authority to attend. Should dematerialised shareholders, other than own name dematerialised R&E shareholders, wish to vote at the R&E General Meeting by proxy, they must provide their CSDP or broker with their voting instructions in terms of the custody agreement entered into between them and their CSDP or broker.

4. Holders of American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) will receive a form of proxy generated by the Company’s United States Depositary Bank, BNY Mellon. Holders of ADRs who wish to attend the R&E General Meeting must contact the United States Depositary to become registered owners of the ordinary shares corresponding to their ADRs prior to Monday, 24 May 2010, by presenting their ADRs to the United States Depositary for cancellation, and (upon compliance with the terms of the Depositary Agreement including payment of the United States Depositary’s fees and applicable taxes and governmental charges) delivery of the underlying ordinary shares represented thereby. The details of the United States Depositary are referred to in the Corporate Information section on the inside cover of this Circular.

5. For shareholders resident in the United States (US): The proposed settlement, incorporating a capital distribution and unbundling (“settlement”), and the FSD excussion as

contemplated herein pertains to the securities of a non-US company. The settlement is subject to the disclosure requirements of a country outside the US that are different from those of the US. Financial statements included in this document, if any, have been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of US companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the US federal securities laws, since the issuer is located outside the US, and none of its officers or directors are US residents. You may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgment.

Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the conclusion of the settlement and the FSD excussion nor expressed a view as to whether to vote for or against the conclusion of the settlement, or determined if this Circular is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

R&E shareholders in the US and R&E ADR holders are not entitled to appraisal rights in connection with the proposed settlement under South African law.

Furthermore, on 24 March 2008, the US Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Order pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to which the registration of R&E’s ordinary shares and ADRs in the United States was revoked. As a result of the Order by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, no member of a US national securities exchange, US broker, or US dealer may make use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of US interstate commerce to effect any transaction in, or to induce the purchase or sale of, R&E’s ordinary shares and ADRs in the US. The effect of this order is to prohibit trading in R&E’s ordinary shares and ADRs in the US. See paragraph 4.6.2 of the Revised Listing Particulars attached to this Circular.

This Circular is not being presented, directly or indirectly, in any jurisdiction where the capital distribution of the Gold Fields shares and the unbundling of the JCI shares to R&E shareholders or any other transactions contemplated herein would or might constitute a violation of the laws of such jurisdiction or require registration or approval under the securities laws of such jurisdiction and accordingly R&E shareholders in any such jurisdiction may not receive JCI shares or Gold Fields shares or otherwise accept the terms of the transaction or receive this Circular.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENT DISCLAIMER

Certain statements in this document as well as oral statements that may be made by the officers, directors or employees and advisors of R&E acting on its behalf relating to the information furnished in this document, contain “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the US Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, specifically Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the US Securities Exchange Act of 1934. All statements, other than statements of historical facts, are “forward-looking statements”. These include, without limitation, those statements concerning the frauds and misappropriations which are alleged to have been perpetrated against R&E and/or any of its subsidiaries and the time periods affected thereby; the ability of the R&E group to recover any assets and/or investments allegedly misappropriated from the R&E group; the outcome of any proceedings on behalf of, or against the R&E group; the time period for completing any forensic investigation(s); the amount of any claims R&E is or is not able to recover against others and the ultimate impact hereof on the previously released financial statements and results, assets and investments of the R&E group including the business, operations, economic performance, financial condition, outlook and trading markets of R&E and/or any of the companies in which R&E has invested. Although R&E believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, no assurance can be given that such expectations will prove to be correct, particularly in light of the extent of the frauds and misappropriations allegedly perpetrated against the R&E group and/or uncovered to date. Actual results could differ materially from those implied by or set out in the forward-looking statements.

Among other factors, these include the extent, magnitude and scope of any frauds and misappropriations that may ultimately be determined to have occurred and the time periods and facts related thereto following the completion of any forensic investigation and any other investigations that may be commenced and the ultimate outcome of such investigations; the ability of R&E to successfully assert any claim it may have against other parties for alleged fraud and/or misappropriation of the R&E group’s assets or otherwise and the solvency of any of such parties; the ability of any alleged perpetrators or any other party which has been sued by the R&E group to successfully countersue R&E and/or join JCI in any of the litigation in which the R&E group is engaged at any stage; the acceptance of any statement and opinion by the shareholders of R&E; the ability of R&E to successfully defend any counterclaim or proceedings against the R&E group; the ability of R&E and/or the forensic investigators to obtain the necessary information with respect to the transactions, assets, investments, subsidiaries and associated entities of R&E so as to complete the forensic investigations or any aspect thereof which may require further investigation; the willingness and ability of the forensic investigators to issue any final opinions with respect thereto; the ability of R&E to implement improved systems; changes in economic and market conditions; fluctuations in commodity prices and exchange rates; the success of any business and operating initiatives, including any prospecting or mining rights; changes in the regulatory environment and other government actions; business and operational risk management; other matters not yet known to R&E or not currently considered material by R&E; and the risks identified in R&E’s press releases and other filings and submissions previously made with the US Securities and Exchange Commission.

All forward-looking statements attributable to R&E, or persons acting on its behalf, are qualified in their entirety by these cautionary statements. R&E expressly disclaims any obligation to release publicly any update or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in expectations, or any change in events or circumstances on which those statements are based, unless otherwise required by law.

SALIENT FEATURES OF THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AND

THE FSD ExCUSSION

The definitions on pages 11 to 18 of this Circular apply to the following Salient Features.

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The proposed settlement

1.1.1 The timeline set out in paragraph 3 of this Circular provides a summary of the sequence of events which form the background to the proposed settlement between R&E, JCI and JCIIF, including the proposed merger, the details of which were contained in the Merger Circular distributed to shareholders on 5 December 2008. Following the distribution of the merger circular, an overwhelming majority of R&E shareholders passed the necessary resolutions on 19 January 2009, for R&E to pursue the proposed merger, by way of a scheme of arrangement with JCI. However, on 9 April 2009, R&E announced on SENS that the proposed merger of R&E and JCI had failed as a result of the required majority of scheme participants of JCI, excluding R&E, not approving the scheme.

1.1.2 Following the failure of the proposed merger, R&E, JCI and JCIIF concluded a MOU on 5 May 2009 as a precursor to a settlement to be concluded between the parties. This was aimed at avoiding costly and time consuming litigation.

1.1.3 On 31 August 2009 and again on 18 September 2009 the parties signed a settlement agreement, subject to the fulfilment of a number of suspensive conditions, one of which required certain shareholders of JCI and R&E to furnish irrevocable undertakings within a prescribed time period, to support the settlement agreement and to vote in favour of the resolutions to be passed at shareholders’ meetings of R&E and JCI. Such irrevocable undertakings were however not obtained from JCI shareholders resulting in the settlement agreement of 31 August 2009 and then again of 18 September 2009 lapsing.

1.1.4 On 21 January 2010 and then again on 28 January 2010, R&E and JCI jointly announced that the parties had concluded a revised Settlement Agreement on 20 January 2010, following the lapsing of the agreements as set out in paragraph 1.1.3 above, which agreement again included suspensive conditions requiring certain shareholders of JCI and R&E to furnish irrevocable undertakings to support the revised Settlement Agreement and vote in favour of the necessary resolutions to be passed at shareholders’ meetings of R&E and JCI. Such irrevocable undertakings have, in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, been timeously procured from such shareholders of R&E and JCI as further set out in paragraph 10 of this Circular.

1.1.5 Subject to the fulfilment of the suspensive conditions to the revised Settlement Agreement as further set out in paragraph 5.3 of this Circular, the implementation of the revised Settlement Agreement will as between the R&E group and the JCI group only and certain directors and officers thereof, result in the JCI group and such directors and officers being discharged from the R&E group’s claims against the JCI group and such directors and officers, and vice versa, this without the parties making any admissions of liability or any concessions in regard to their respective claims.

1.1.6 A Litigation Settlement Agreement was concluded between R&E, JCI, Letseng, Hawkhurst, Investec, Investec PLC, JCIIF, Discus, Global, Latitude, Holdings and Azalia on 22 January 2010, the salient details whereof are set out in paragraph 14 of this Circular. The Litigation Settlement Agreement and the revised Settlement Agreement are separate agreements. The implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement will enable JCI and JCIIF to deliver the settlement GFI shares to R&E as contemplated in the revised Settlement Agreement.

1.2 The FSD excussion by R&E

1.2.1 On 17 April 2009, FSD formalised, by way of the FSD Loan Agreement, a historical loan of R105 396 864, including interest thereon at prime, which had been advanced by FSD to JCI Gold, prior to the reconstitution of the JCI board in August 2005, the original details of which could not be established for reasons that are well documented in paragraph 3 of this Circular.

1.2.2 Furthermore, R&E entered into a loan agreement with JCI Gold, a subsidiary of JCI, for an amount of R60 500 000 on 17 April 2009 and a further R25 000 000 on 18 December 2009.

1.2.3 R&E also acquired all rights and claims which FSD had against JCI Gold in terms of the FSD Loan Agreement (as set out in paragraph 1.2.1 above), on 18 December 2009.

1.2.4 The total loan from JCI Gold was repayable to R&E by 11 January 2010, failing which R&E would be entitled to exercise its rights in terms of the security provided by JCI Gold to R&E in terms of the Pledge Agreement.

6

1.2.5 JCI Gold failed to pay the full loan amount outstanding at 11 January 2010, and as such R&E exercised the security provided by JCI Gold in terms of the Pledge Agreement (being a component of JCI Gold’s interest in FSD shares) against the outstanding loan amount of R161 960 265, as a result of which R&E became the beneficial owner of a further 6 690 610 FSD shares (approximately 30.10% of the equity share capital of FSD), bringing R&E’s total shareholding in FSD to 85.21%.

1.2.6 The FSD excussion is independent of the proposed settlement as contemplated in this document.

1.3 Re-listing of R&E

It has been the stated intention of R&E to comply with the necessary requirements of the JSE to re-list R&E and to provide R&E shareholders with a tradable share. Incorporated in this Circular are the Revised Listing Particulars of R&E (Annexure 22), as required by the JSE, to enable R&E to pursue a re-listing of its shares on the JSE.

2. PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR AND THE R&E GENERAL MEETING

2.1 Proposed settlement

2.1.1 The purpose of this Circular is to provide R&E shareholders with the requisite information in accordance with the requirements of the Act and the JSE Listings Requirements and to enable R&E shareholders to make a decision in respect of the proposed resolutions as set out in the Notice of the R&E General Meeting enclosed with this Circular relating to:

2.1.1.1 the requisite shareholder approval required in order for the present Board of R&E to proceed with the proposed settlement;

2.1.1.2 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to be able to take transfer of the settlement GFI shares from JCI and JCIIF;

2.1.1.3 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to be able to receive, albeit without voting or exercising any other rights in respect thereof, the new JCI shares issued to R&E, in terms of the proposed settlement;

2.1.1.4 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to make a capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders out of share premium, in proportion to their respective shareholdings; and

2.1.1.5 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to unbundle its entire shareholding of JCI (which consists of both the new JCI shares per the proposed settlement and its existing JCI shares owned pre-settlement) to the R&E shareholders in terms of section 46 of the Income Tax Act in the proportion to R&E shareholders’ respective shareholdings.

2.1.2 The proposed settlement enjoys the support of the present Board of R&E.

2.1.3 The Mediators, as appears from the Mediators’ Report, being Annexure 1 hereto, consider the proposed settlement commercially prudent and not inequitable to the R&E and JCI shareholders in the particular circumstances.

2.2 The FSD excussion

2.2.1 The Board of R&E regards the exercise by it of its rights under the Pledge Agreement (which resulted in it taking transfer of 6 690 610 FSD shares from JCI Gold), to have occurred solely in consequence of JCI Gold having failed to meet its repayment obligations to R&E when they fell due, in terms of the R&E Loan Agreement, the FSD Loan Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, and to this extent maintains that such transfer occurred lawfully and in terms of the said agreements. The JSE have ruled that the transfer of the 6 690 610 FSD shares to R&E, as a result of R&E exercising the security provided by JCI Gold in terms of the Pledge Agreement (being a component of JCI Gold’s interest in FSD shares), is regarded as a related party transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and as such has requested R&E shareholders to ratify, by way of an ordinary resolution, the FSD excussion. Without in any way detracting from R&E’s position or conceding that it is obliged to do so, R&E shareholders, excluding related parties as set out in paragraph 11 of this Circular, are requested to ratify the FSD excussion, the further details of which are set out in paragraph 9 of the Circular. The requisite resolution is contained in the Notice of General Meeting attached to this Circular. R&E however makes no concessions or waives any of its rights in requesting shareholders to ratify the FSD excussion.

2.2.2 The FSD excussion enjoys the support of the present Board of R&E and certain shareholders as set out in paragraph 10 of this Circular. Moore Stephens, an independent expert providing the fairness opinion, whose report is set out in Annexure 23 to this Circular, have considered the FSD excussion to be fair to R&E shareholders.

3. BACKGROUND TO THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT

3.1 The proposed settlement

3.1.1 As stated above, the timeline set out in paragraph 3 of this Circular provides a summary of the timeline and sequence of events which constitutes the background to the proposed settlement between the parties. In addition, insightful detail regarding the background leading up to the R&E claims and the proposed settlement is also to be found in Annexure 2 (Overview of R&E’s claims) and in the audited financial statements of R&E for the years ended 31 December 2007, 2008 and 2009, which is available for inspection in terms of paragraph 39 below.

Page 9: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

7

3.1.2 JCI has contested R&E’s claims and denies any liability to R&E in respect thereof. In particular, the factual and legal bases of R&E’s claims and the consequences thereof are disputed by JCI. An important legal question relates to whether the actions and conduct of Kebble and his accomplices can be attributed to JCI so as to render it liable for the losses which R&E has sustained in consequence thereof. R&E contends in this regard that the perpetrators comprised the controlling will and mind of JCI, directed the affairs of JCI and that their actions are imputable to JCI, although JCI does not admit this. R&E’s Counsel have opined that R&E enjoys a reasonable prospect of success in the arbitration, however, litigation cannot be predicted with any degree of certainty. A brief overview of JCI’s defences to R&E’s claims is set out in Annexure 2.

3.1.3 The Mediation Agreement provided that should a potential merger between R&E and JCI not eventuate, the legal disputes would be referred to arbitration. The notion of a merger between R&E and JCI stemmed from the realisation that regardless of the extent of R&E’s claims against JCI, any recovery which R&E may ultimately be able to achieve against JCI, would be constrained by the extent of JCI’s NAV. The present Board of R&E regarded the proposed merger as pragmatic and sensible and as a preferable option to immediate arbitration, for the reasons detailed in the Merger Circular.

3.1.4 Since April 2007, R&E has attempted to effect both the proposed merger and thereafter, a settlement with JCI as alternatives to costly and protracted litigation. Despite overwhelming support from the shareholders of R&E for this strategy, both the proposed merger and the initial settlement proposals were not approved by the requisite majority of JCI shareholders.

3.1.5 Following the failed merger and the initial settlement proposals, the present Board of R&E announced on SENS on 22 September 2009 that it had instructed its legal team to refer the matter to arbitration in keeping with the terms of the Mediation Agreement. JCI, despite the provisions of the Mediation Agreement, adopted the view that the Mediation Agreement is no longer binding on it and that it no longer needs to submit to the arbitration process. On 6 November 2009, JCI launched the JCI application against R&E out of the South Gauteng High Court (Johannesburg), seeking an order that the dispute referred to in the Mediation Agreement should not be referred to arbitration and that the provisions of the Mediation Agreement should cease to have any effect with reference to such dispute. Although R&E is opposing this application, R&E and JCI have agreed that pending the implementation of the proposed settlement, the JCI application will be held over and only resumed in the event of the proposed settlement not being implemented.

3.1.6 On 20 January 2010, the parties concluded a revised Settlement Agreement and subsequently obtained the irrevocable support of certain R&E and JCI shareholders, the details of which are further set out in paragraph 10 of this Circular. As indicated in paragraph 1.1.5 above, the implementation of the revised Settlement Agreement will result in the JCI group and certain directors and officers (whose names appear in Annexure 18) being discharged from the R&E group’s claims against the JCI group and such directors and officers, and vice versa, this, without the parties making any admissions of liability or any concessions in regard to their respective claims.

3.2 R&E shareholders should note at the outset that it is important to preface what is contained in this Circular with the following:

3.2.1 Much of what is described in this Circular occurred prior to the reconstitution of the Board of R&E on 24 August 2005.

3.2.2 The findings which gave rise to R&E’s claims against JCI in the circumstances more fully described herein, were made by R&E’s forensic investigators, JLMC, whose latest report was disclosed in the Merger Circular and is available for inspection in terms of paragraph 39 below. It was on the strength of such findings, that the Board of R&E directed that the R&E claims against JCI be formulated.

3.2.3 Many of the statements contained in this Circular, as set out in the forward-looking statement set out on page 4 of this Circular, have not yet been established as a matter of fact and/or law and have been made based on the assumption that such findings can be factually and legally sustained.

4. THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT

4.1 Salient terms of the revised Settlement Agreement

In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, subject to the fulfilment of the suspensive conditions thereto and the implementation thereof:

4.1.1 JCI and JCIIF will cause the settlement GFI shares to be transferred to R&E;

4.1.2 JCI will allot and issue the new JCI shares to R&E; and

4.1.3 R&E will, following the transfer of the settlement GFI shares to R&E and the allotment of the new JCI shares to it, firstly make a capital distribution, out of share premium, of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders in the ratio of 0.0809 settlement GFI shares for every one R&E share held and immediately thereafter, unbundle its entire shareholding of JCI (which consists of both the new JCI shares per the proposed settlement and its existing JCI shares owned pre-settlement) to the R&E shareholders in terms of section 46 of the Income Tax Act, in the ratio of 24.8739 JCI shares for every one R&E share held.

Page 10: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

8

4.2 Effective date of the revised Settlement Agreement

The effective date of the revised Settlement Agreement is the date on which the last of the settlement GFI shares and the new JCI shares are registered in the CSDP account of R&E following fulfilment of the suspensive conditions of the revised Settlement Agreement, being a date not more than 16 days after the fulfilment of such suspensive conditions.

4.3 Suspensive Conditions of the revised Settlement Agreement

The revised Settlement Agreement is subject to the fulfilment of various remaining suspensive conditions as set out in paragraph 5.3 of this Circular, which require, inter alia, the requisite shareholders’ of both R&E and JCI approving of the proposed settlement.

4.4 Other significant terms of the revised Settlement Agreement

The revised Settlement Agreement is subject to other significant terms which include, inter alia, the rights of R&E and R&E shareholders in respect of the settlement GFI shares and new JCI shares and the warranties provided by JCI in favour of R&E, details of which are set out in paragraph 5.4 of this Circular.

4.5 Indemnity by R&E

An R&E party, as defined, has, in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, granted a JCI party, as defined, an indemnity in respect of all claims which may be made by third parties against a JCI party arising from any third party claims, subject to certain conditions, the details of which are further set out in paragraph 5.5 of this Circular.

4.6 Undertakings by JCI and JCIIF

JCI and JCIIF have further, in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, provided certain irrevocable and unconditional undertakings to R&E in the event of the revised Settlement Agreement being cancelled or not implemented for any reason or pending the distribution of the settlement GFI shares. Further details of such undertakings are set out in paragraph 5.6 of this Circular.

4.7 Rationale for the proposed settlement agreement

4.7.1 R&E shareholders are referred to, inter alia, prior announcements and shareholder updates regarding the disputes between R&E and JCI, the proposed merger between R&E and JCI and the failure thereof, and the conclusion and lapsing of the initial settlement agreements between R&E and JCI. Such strategies where pursued by the boards of both R&E and JCI as an alternative to costly and protracted litigation as a result of the ongoing legal disputes between R&E and JCI. In keeping with such strategy, the parties have now again, for commercial reasons and in order to avoid costly and protracted litigation, concluded the revised Settlement Agreement.

4.7.2 The rationale for the proposed settlement as set out in paragraph 4.7.1 above follows the rationale for the proposed merger of R&E and JCI as was recorded in the Merger Circular. As previously reported to R&E shareholders, JCI has denied all liability to R&E in respect of the R&E claims and failing the revised Settlement Agreement being implemented, the impending arbitration or litigation (in the event of the relief sought in the JCI application being upheld) is inevitable. The board of R&E is however aware of the costs which may be incurred in protracted litigation against JCI before a resolution of R&E’s claims can be obtained. Furthermore, should R&E be successful in obtaining an award against JCI in respect of R&E’s claims, any recovery which R&E may make is likely to be constrained by JCI’s NAV of approximately R1.2 billion at 31 December 2009. There is no prospect of JCI being able to satisfy the R&E claims (if successful) beyond the extent of JCI’s NAV and furthermore R&E’s prospects of success against JCI cannot be assured. The board of R&E is also cognisant of the substantial time that executives and management of R&E would have to dedicate in prosecuting such claims which may impact the operations of R&E.

4.7.3 Based on the above, the present Board of R&E is of the opinion that costly and protracted litigation against JCI is not in the best interests of shareholders and R&E regards the proposed settlement as a pragmatic means to restore shareholder value and as representing a sensible resolution to the impasse with JCI.

4.7.4 The implementation of the revised Settlement Agreement will result in the JCI group and the directors and officers of JCI only being released from the R&E group’s claims against the JCI group, and vice versa, this, without the parties making any admissions of liability or any concessions in regard to their respective claims.

5. THE LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

5.1 On 22 January 2010, R&E, JCI, Letseng, Hawkhurst, Investec, Investec PLC, JCIIF, Discus, Global, Latitude, Holdings and Azalia concluded a Litigation Settlement Agreement in terms of which the parties to the Litigation Settlement Agreement agreed, subject to the fulfilment of certain suspensive conditions, for commercial reasons and in order to avoid costly litigation, to resolve the Litigation Disputes on the basis set out in the Litigation Settlement Agreement, this without making any admissions or concessions as to liability.

Page 11: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

9

5.2 It should be noted that the Litigation Settlement Agreement and revised Settlement Agreement are separate agreements. The implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement will enable JCI and JCIIF to deliver the settlement GFI shares to R&E as contemplated in the revised Settlement Agreement.

5.3 The provisions of the Litigation Settlement Agreement and the payments to be made in terms thereof shall constitute a settlement of the Litigation Disputes between the parties to the Litigation Settlement Agreement only, without prejudice to any claims enjoyed by R&E and/or the controlled entities of R&E against a third party. The details of the Litigation Settlement Agreement are set out in paragraph 14 to this Circular and are further set out in the Circular to JCI shareholders distributed on 19 February 2010, a copy of which is available for inspection in terms of paragraph 39 below. Final implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement remains outstanding, but is expected to be fully implemented by the effective date of the revised Settlement Agreement.

6. THE FSD ExCUSSION

6.1 Further to the information as set out in paragraph 1.2 above, JCI Gold was required to repay in full all outstanding amounts owed to R&E on 11 January 2010, in terms of the FSD Loan Agreement, the R&E Loan Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

6.2 At the due date the total amount owing by JCI Gold to R&E amounted to R208 139 856. As a result of JCI Gold failing to repay the full outstanding amount on the due date, R&E on 14 January 2010 exercised its right under the Pledge Agreement in respect of a remaining outstanding loan due by JCI Gold to R&E of R161 960 265 (net of cash already settled by JCI Gold), by excussing against a component of the security held by it, being the 6 690 610 FSD shares (approximately 30.1% of the equity share capital of FSD) owned by JCI Gold. The effective date of the FSD excussion was 14 January 2010.

6.3 The value at which the FSD shares were realised by R&E in terms of the security provided by JCI Gold was agreed by R&E and JCI Gold at R24.2071 per FSD share as set out in the Pledge Agreement. This price was based on FSD’s disclosed net asset value per FSD share at 31 December 2009. Such net asset value excluded any value for the exploration rights held in FSD on the grounds that the exploration rights had no realisable value.

6.4 The rationale for the FSD excussion was to enable R&E to recover the loan receivable from JCI Gold by exercising the security provided by JCI Gold in respect of such loans advanced by R&E. R&E furthermore provided the loans to JCI Gold following JCI’s limited access to cash and cash resources, the failure of JCI to successfully secure any further funding from financiers and as a result of the majority of JCI’s liquid assets being held by Investec as security in terms of the Investec Loan Agreement.

6.5 In terms of the FSD excussion R&E’s shareholding in FSD increased by 30.1% to 85.2%.

7. SUPPORT FROM VARIOUS PARTIES FOR THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, THE FSD ExCUSSION AND FOR THE LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

7.1 The Mediators re-affirmed their support for a settlement between R&E and JCI on 19 April 2010 as a commercially realistic outcome for resolving the difficulties facing the companies as appears from the Mediators Report being Annexure 1 to this Circular. Faced with the alternatives to a settlement, the Board of R&E supports a settlement as a pragmatic means of resolving the difficulties which confront R&E and its shareholders.

7.2 R&E, JCI and JCIIF have procured irrevocable undertakings from the following shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions required to effect the revised Settlement Agreement by JCI and R&E:

7.2.1 Letseng and Hawkhurst which do not hold any of the issued share capital of R&E and which collectively hold 17.52% (i.e. 7.98% and 9.54% respectively) of the issued share capital of JCI;

7.2.2 Investec which holds 26.26% of the issued share capital of R&E and 9.65% of the issued share capital of JCI; and

7.2.3 Allan Gray, in respect of which Allan Gray undertakes to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in respect of which it exercises the voting rights, and to recommend to its clients to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in respect of which its clients exercise the voting rights. Allan Gray directly and indirectly holds 24.35% of R&E and 22.87% of JCI.

7.3 Investec has further provided an irrevocable written confirmation, confirming that Investec has irrevocably released from any security held by Investec in respect of any obligation owed to it by JCI and/or JCIIF, whether directly or indirectly the settlement GFI shares, to facilitate the transfer of such shares by JCI and JCIIF to R&E as contemplated in the revised Settlement Agreement.

7.4 On 8 March 2010, the requisite majority of JCI shareholders approved the terms and implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement.

7.5 R&E has procured irrevocable undertakings from the following shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions required to give effect to the FSD excussion:

7.5.1 Clear Horizon Multi-Strategy Fund which holds 1 271 168 R&E shares i.e. 1.7% of the issued share capital of R&E;

7.5.2 Investec which holds 26.26% of the issued share capital of R&E; and

10

7.5.3 Allan Gray, in respect of which Allan Gray undertakes to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in respect of which it exercises the voting rights, and to recommend to its clients to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in respect of which its clients exercise the voting rights. Allan Gray directly and indirectly holds 24.35% of R&E.

8. PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS

8.1 UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AND THE FSD EXCUSSION BASED ON THE CONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION AND THE STATEMENT OF COMPREHENSIVE INCOME OF R&E FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2009

The unaudited pro forma financial effects of the proposed settlement and the FSD excussion, as set out below are the responsibility of the directors of R&E. The unaudited pro forma financial effects are presented in a manner consistent with the basis on which the historical financial information has been prepared and in terms of R&E’s accounting policies. The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been presented for illustrative purposes only and, because of their nature, may not give a fair reflection of R&E’s financial position nor of the effect on future earnings after the implementation of the proposed settlement and the FSD excussion.

The unaudited pro forma financial effects as set out below should be read in conjunction with the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position and statement of comprehensive income as set out in Annexure 7, together with the assumptions upon which the financial effects are based, as indicated in the notes thereto in Annexure 7.

The Independent Reporting Accountants’ report relating to the unaudited pro forma financial information of R&E for the year ended 31 December 2009 is set out as Annexure 8 of this Circular.

The table below sets out the unaudited pro forma financial effects of the proposed settlement (incorporating the capital distribution and unbundling) and the FSD excussion on R&E, based on the audited consolidated financial results for the year ended 31 December 2009.

1. For the avoidance of doubt, shareholders are reminded that the pro forma financial effects as set out above are based on the audited consolidated annual financial statements of R&E at 31 December 2009. Such audited consolidated annual financial statements have accounted for R&E’s investment in JCI at cost less impairments. The Mediators, in formulating their opinion regarding the revised Settlement Agreement have also considered, inter alia, the unaudited NAV of R&E in which R&E’s investment in JCI was valued based on the published NAV of JCI at 31 December 2009, as reflected in Annexure 13 to this Circular, the pre-distribution effect of the proposed settlement and the effect of the cross holding between R&E and JCI (which affects the NAV of both companies). The Mediators Report is attached as Annexure 1, further details of which are referred to in paragraph 11 of this Circular.

9. RE-LISTING ON THE JSE

9.1 The JSE has approved the re-listing of all of the ordinary shares in the issued share capital of R&E on the main board of the JSE in the “Mining: Gold Mining” sector of the JSE list under the abbreviated name “Randgold” and share code “RNG” with effect from the commencement of trade on or about Friday 4 June 2010.

9.2 Shareholders are referred to the Revised Listing Particulars (Annexure 22) for full details and required disclosures in regard to the re-listing.

10. NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING

A General Meeting of the shareholders of R&E has been convened and will be held at 11h00 on Friday, 28 May 2010 at MW Business Centre, Michelangelo Hotel, Mandela Square, Sandton, South Africa in order to consider and, if deemed fit, pass with or without modification, the necessary resolutions required to give effect to the proposed settlement, the capital distribution, out of share premium, of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders, the unbundling of R&E’s entire shareholding in JCI (which consists of both the new JCI shares per the proposed settlement and the existing JCI shares owned pre-settlement) to the R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings and the FSD excussion.

CIRCULAR TO R&E SHAREHOLDERS

1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 The proposed settlement

1.1.1 The timeline set out in paragraph 3 of this Circular provides a summary of the sequence of events which forms the background to the proposed settlement between R&E, JCI and JCIIF, including the merger, the details of which were contained in the Merger Circular distributed to shareholders on 5 December 2008. Following the distribution of the Merger Circular, an overwhelming majority of R&E shareholders passed the necessary resolutions, on 19 January 2009, for R&E to pursue the proposed merger, by way of a scheme of arrangement, with JCI. However, on 9 April 2009, R&E announced on SENS that the proposed merger of R&E and JCI had failed as a result of the required majority of scheme participants of JCI, excluding R&E, not approving the scheme.

1.1.2 Following the failure of the proposed merger, R&E, JCI and JCIIF concluded the MOU on 5 May 2009 as a precursor to a settlement to be concluded between the parties. This was aimed at avoiding costly and time consuming litigation.

1.1.3 On 31 August 2009 and again on 18 September 2009, the parties signed a settlement agreement, subject to the fulfilment of a number of suspensive conditions, one of which required certain shareholders of JCI and R&E to furnish irrevocable undertakings within a prescribed time period, to support the settlement agreement and to vote in favour of the resolutions to be passed at shareholders’ meetings of R&E and JCI. Such irrevocable undertakings were however not obtained from JCI shareholders resulting in the aforementioned settlement agreements lapsing.

1.1.4 On 21 January 2010 and then again on 28 January 2010, R&E and JCI jointly announced that the parties had concluded the revised Settlement Agreement on 20 January 2010, following the lapsing of the initial settlement agreement. The revised Settlement Agreement again includes suspensive conditions requiring certain shareholders of JCI and R&E to furnish irrevocable undertakings to support the revised Settlement Agreement and vote in favour of the necessary resolutions to be passed at shareholders’ meetings of R&E and JCI. Such irrevocable undertakings have, in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, been timeously procured from such shareholders of R&E and JCI as further set out in paragraph 10 of this Circular.

1.1.5 Subject to the fulfilment of the suspensive conditions to the revised Settlement Agreement as further set out in paragraph 5.3 of this Circular, the implementation of the revised Settlement Agreement will as between the R&E group and the JCI group only and certain directors and officers thereof, result in the JCI group and such directors and officers being discharged from the R&E group’s claims against the JCI group and such directors and officers, and vice versa, this without the parties making any admissions of liability or any concessions in regard to their respective claims. Further details of such directors and officers are set out in Annexure 18 to this Circular.

1.1.6 A Litigation Settlement Agreement was concluded between R&E, JCI, Letseng, Hawkhurst, Investec, Investec PLC, JCIIF, Discus, Global, Latitude, Holdings and Azalia on 22 January 2010, the salient details whereof are set out in paragraph 14 of this Circular. The Litigation Settlement Agreement and the revised Settlement Agreement are separate agreements. The implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement will enable JCI and JCIIF to deliver the settlement GFI shares to R&E as contemplated in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement.

1.2 The FSD excussion by R&E

1.2.1 On 17 April 2009, FSD formalised, by way of the FSD Loan Agreement, a historical loan of R105 396 864, including interest thereon at prime, which had been advanced by FSD to JCI Gold prior to the reconstitution of the JCI board in August 2005, the original details of which could not be established for reasons that are well documented in paragraph 3 of this Circular.

1.2.2 Furthermore, R&E entered into a loan agreement with JCI Gold, a subsidiary of JCI, for an amount of R60 500 000 on 17 April 2009 and a further R25 000 000 on 18 December 2009.

21

1.2.3 R&E also acquired all rights and claims which FSD had against JCI Gold in terms of the FSD Loan Agreement, as set out in paragraph 1.2.1 above, on 18 December 2009.

1.2.4 The total loan from JCI Gold was repayable to R&E on 11 January 2010, failing which R&E would be entitled to exercise its rights in terms of the security provided by JCI Gold to R&E in terms of the Pledge Agreement.

1.2.5 JCI Gold failed to pay the full loan amount outstanding at 11 January 2010, and as such R&E exercised the security provided by JCI Gold in terms of the Pledge Agreement (being a component of JCI Gold’s interest in FSD shares), against the outstanding loan amount of R161 960 265 (net of cash already received by JCI Gold), and as a result of which R&E became the beneficial owner of a further 6 690 610 FSD shares (approximately 30.10% of the equity share capital of FSD), bringing R&E’s total shareholding in FSD to 85.21%.

1.2.6 The FSD excussion is independent of the proposed settlement as contemplated in this document.

1.3 Re-listing of R&E

It has been the stated intention of R&E to comply with the necessary requirements of the JSE to re-list R&E and to provide R&E shareholders with a tradable share. Incorporated in this Circular are the Revised Listing Particulars of R&E (Annexure 22), as required by the JSE to enable R&E to pursue a re-listing of its shares on the JSE. The JSE has granted approval for the re-listing of R&E shares on the JSE with commencement of trade on or about Friday, 4 June 2010. Such re-listing will occur irrespective of whether the proposed settlement is effected or not.

Shareholders are referred to the Revised Listing Particulars, as set out in Annexure 22, wherein the Company has made all the disclosures and furnished all information required in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements in regard to the re-listing.

2. PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR AND THE R&E GENERAL MEETING

2.1 Proposed settlement

2.1.1 The purpose of this Circular is to provide R&E shareholders with the requisite information in accordance with the requirements of the Act and the JSE Listings Requirements and to enable R&E shareholders to make a decision in respect of the proposed resolutions as set out in the Notice of the R&E General Meeting enclosed with this Circular relating to:

2.1.1.1 the requisite shareholder approval required in order for the present Board of R&E to proceed with the proposed settlement;

2.1.1.2 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to take transfer of the settlement GFI shares from JCI and JCIIF;

2.1.1.3 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to be able to receive, albeit without voting or exercising any other rights in respect thereof, the new JCI shares issued to R&E, in terms of the proposed settlement;

2.1.1.4 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to make a capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders out of share premium, in proportion to their respective shareholdings; and

2.1.1.5 the requisite shareholder approval required for R&E to unbundle and distribute its entire shareholding in JCI (which consists of both the new JCI shares per the proposed settlement and its existing JCI shares owned pre-settlement) in terms of section 46 of the Income Tax Act, to R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings.

2.1.2 The proposed settlement enjoys the support of the present Board of R&E. The Mediators, as appears from the Mediators’ Report, being Annexure 1 to this Circular, consider the proposed settlement commercially prudent and not inequitable to the R&E and JCI shareholders in the particular circumstances.

2.1.3 The adoption of the resolutions referred to in paragraphs 2.1.1 above is subject to such resolutions being approved by the requisite majority of R&E shareholders, excluding related parties as set out in paragraph 11 to this Circular where applicable, entitled to vote thereon, at the R&E General Meeting.

2.1.4 For the purposes of the proposed settlement, incorporating the transfer of the settlement GFI shares from JCI and JCIIF to R&E and the issue of the new JCI shares to R&E, the board of R&E has elected to treat such settlement as a Category 1, related party transaction, in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements. Accordingly, R&E is required to obtain shareholder approval (excluding approval of the related parties as set out in paragraph 11 of this Circular). The related parties as described in paragraph 11 below will be taken into account for the purposes of determining whether a quorum in respect of Ordinary Resolutions Numbers 1, 2 and 3 as set out in the Notice of the R&E General Meeting, is present, but will not be entitled to vote thereon. All other R&E shareholders will be entitled to vote thereon, including the ADR holders. Save for the restrictions placed on related parties from voting in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements in respect of Ordinary Resolutions 1, 2 and 3, all shares in issue as held by R&E shareholders, are entitled to vote at the R&E General Meeting, including ADR holders.

22

2.1.5 In addition, in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements pertaining to related party transactions, the present Board of R&E is required to obtain a fairness opinion in respect of the proposed settlement incorporating the transfer of the settlement GFI shares to R&E and the issue of the new JCI shares to R&E. The inability to produce a fairness opinion was motivated to the JSE, details of which are set out in Annexure 5 of this Circular. The Mediators’ Report (as set out in Annexure 1 to this Circular) has been included in this Circular and contains the opinion of the Mediators in respect of the proposed settlement.

2.2 The FSD excussion

2.2.1 The Board of R&E regards the exercise by it of its rights under the Pledge Agreement (which resulted in it taking transfer of 6 690 610 FSD shares from JCI Gold), to have occurred solely in consequence of JCI Gold having failed to meet its repayment obligations to R&E when they fell due, in terms of the R&E Loan Agreement, the FSD Loan Agreement and the Pledge Agreement, and to this extent maintains that such transfer occurred lawfully and in terms of the said agreements. The JSE have ruled that the transfer of the 6 690 610 FSD shares to R&E, as a result of R&E exercising the security provided by JCI Gold in terms of the Pledge Agreement (being a component of JCI Gold’s interest in FSD shares), is regarded as a related party transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements and as such has requested R&E shareholders to ratify, by way of an ordinary resolution, the FSD excussion. Without in any way detracting from R&E’s position or conceding that it is obliged to do so, R&E shareholders, excluding related parties as set out in paragraph 11 of this Circular, are requested to ratify the FSD excussion, the further details of which are set out in paragraph 9 of the Circular. The requisite resolution is contained in the Notice of General Meeting attached to this Circular. R&E however makes no concessions or waives any of its rights in requesting shareholders to ratify the FSD excussion.

2.2.2 The FSD excussion enjoys the support of the present Board of R&E and certain shareholders as set out in paragraph 10 of this Circular. Moore Stephens, an independent expert providing the fairness opinion, whose report is set out in Annexure 23 to this Circular, have considered the FSD excussion to be fair to R&E shareholders.

2.3 Re-listing of R&E

As set out in paragraph 1.2 above, this Circular contains the Revised Listing Particulars of R&E, as set out in Annexure 22, as required by the JSE, pursuant to R&E re-listing its shares on the JSE.

3. BACKGROUND TO THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AND RE-LISTING

3.1 The background to the R&E claims and the JCI dispute and the events following the date of reconstitution of the board of R&E can be illustrated with reference to the following timeline:

Prior to 24 August 2005 • Kebble was the CEO of both R&E and JCI.(the Kebble era) • R&E alleges that during the Kebble era, it was the victim of widespread frauds and thefts of its

assets on a scale unprecedented in South African corporate history.• Dr Mark Bristow, the CEO of RRL, questioned whether R&E continued to hold its substantial

investment in RRL (which comprised the majority of R&E’s asset base).• Kebble maintained throughout that R&E still held its investment in RRL.• The uncertainty surrounding R&E’s investment in RRL prevented R&E from publishing annual

financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2004.• On 8 December 2004, PWC resigned as R&E’s auditors.• On 8 December 2004, Charles Orbach was appointed as R&E’s auditors.

1 August 2005 • As at August 2005, JCI was in a precarious financial position requiring funding.• R&E was suspended on the JSE (having failed to comply with the requirements of both the JSE

and Nasdaq) as a result of it not being able to produce audited annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2004.

24 August 2005 • The boards of directors of R&E and JCI (as well as Western Areas and White Water Resources) were reconstituted in consequence of Investec agreeing to extend a financial rescue package to JCIIF, (with the support of Allan Gray), which gave rise to Kebble and Roger, together with other R&E and JCI directors, resigning.

• Gray and Lamprecht were appointed to the board of R&E as CEO and Financial Director, respectively.

• Newly constituted R&E Board appointments resulted in an overlap between the boards of JCI and R&E in respect of Gray, Lamprecht and Nissen, and later Nurek (with effect from 7 October 2005).

• Subject to the re-constitution of the various boards, Investec agreed to extend a financial rescue package to JCIIF of R460 million aimed, inter alia, at enabling JCI to settle a judgment granted in favour of Benoryn Investments (Pty) Limited for approximately R70 million.

5 September 2005 • Charles Orbach resigned as auditors of R&E due to an inability to reconcile the financial affairs of the Company and validate the existence of R&E’s investment in RRL (and various other listed investments), thus precluding them from being able to finalise the audit for the year ended 31 December 2004.

Page 25: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

23

21 September 2005 • R&E was delisted from Nasdaq as a result of it not being able to produce annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2004.

14 October 2005 • The newly constituted Board of R&E appointed independent forensic auditors, JLMC (formerly Umbono), to embark on a forensic investigation on behalf of R&E.

Mid October 2005 • JCI also appointed forensic investigators, KPMG Services, to undertake a forensic investigation into the affairs of JCI.

27 October 2005 • The newly constituted Board of R&E appointed KPMG to act as R&E’s statutory auditors.

End October 2005 • JLMC established that CMMS had not properly recorded the inter-company loan accounts between JCI and R&E as one of many mechanisms used to disguise alleged misappropriations. No meaningful explanation could be provided as to the whereabouts of the proceeds derived from the sale of R&E’s shares in RRL.

• The 1st interim forensic report of JLMC indicated that it appeared that there had been wide scale misappropriations of R&E assets from which it appeared further that the JCI group had benefitted therefrom.

• JLMC continued with their investigations and the newly constituted Board of R&E appointed an independent legal team.

• The forensic reports that followed indicated that the greater majority of R&E’s assets had been misappropriated and that legal claims existed between R&E and JCI.

7 April 2006 • The Mediation Agreement was concluded. This provided for the mediation of the claims between the companies arising out of the Kebble era, and in the event of the mediation failing, arbitration.

• Based on the findings of JLMC and contributions from witnesses, the R&E claims were formulated against JCI.

• An analysis of the R&E claims and JLMC’s findings indicated a series of complex and intricate transactions which occurred over many years.

• The R&E claims amounted to R5,6 billion (based on the highest value thereof at the time), excluding interest. (JCI has contested such claims and denied any liability to R&E).

• The Mediation Agreement provided for the appointment of the Mediators.

20 June 2006 • KPMG Services and JLMC exchanged the 8th of May report and forensic report of JLMC, respectively, which were prepared for the purposes of the mediation.

• Subsequent to the 8th of May report, JCI in September 2006, served a further report on R&E (which was not contemplated under the Mediation Agreement).

19 July 2006 • R&E and JCI concluded an addendum to the Mediation Agreement, extending the time period for the filing of statements of claim and by when the mediation should be resolved by.

8 September 2006 • JCI served a statement of defence on R&E, denying any indebtedness to R&E.

Mid December 2006 • The Mediators requested additional financial information regarding the flow of funds between the R&E group and the JCI group, especially with regard to the disposal of R&E’s listed investments.

19 – 22 February 2007 • The newly constituted Board of R&E and the Board of JCI endorsed the notion of a merger between the companies and resolved to canvass such possibility with the Mediators.

28 February 2007 • The Mediators issued an interim recommendation, followed by an explanatory note on 5 March 2007, in which they suggested that based on the NAV of JCI at the time, an imputed settlement of between R1,2 billion to R1,5 billion represented a realistic starting point to resolve the disputes between the companies.

15 March 2007 • An update to R&E shareholders regarding the merger was published on SENS.

23 April 2007 • A joint SENS announcement was made by R&E and JCI indicating that pursuant to the recommendation of the Mediators, the respective boards proposed to recommend the proposed scheme of arrangement to their shareholders.

19 June 2007 • An application was submitted by R&E and JCI to the JSE and SRP for dispensation from complying with certain rulings and regulations regarding the proposed merger.

• The shareholders of R&E and JCI were called upon to make submissions to the SRP in regard to the merger.

Page 26: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

24

September 2007 • A Second Addendum to the Mediation Agreement was signed providing for the mediation to be referred to arbitration in the event of a merger failing for any reason whatsoever.

October 2007 • R&E and JCI made a joint application to the JSE and SRP in respect of certain of the disclosure requirements relating to the presentation of financial information for the purposes of proceeding with the proposed merger.

13 December 2007 • Both R&E and JCI published unaudited NAV statements as at 31 March 2007 on SENS, incorporating limited assurance reports from KPMG.

7 March 2008 • R&E proceeded with an action against PWC out of the High Court of South Africa for approximately R7,6 billion, based on the highest value of R&E’s claims at the time. (Such action is presently being defended by PWC.)

12 March 2008 • JCI denied that it was “holding substantial monies (R767 million) owing to R&E which should be reflected in the assets of R&E.”

24 March 2008 • The SEC issued an Order pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act pursuant to which the registration of R&E’s shares and ADRs in the United States was revoked. The effect of this order is to prohibit trading in R&E’s shares and ADRs in the United States. See paragraph 4.6.2 of the Revised Listing Particulars (Annexure 22) attached to this Circular.

15 July 2008 • JCI denied the existence of any common cause indebtedness (allegedly acceded to by JCI).• JCI also denied any liability towards R&E based on the causes of action relied upon by R&E in

the Statement of Claim.

21 July 2008 • R&E and JCI signed an MOU, aimed at settling the disputes between the companies and to pave the way for the conclusion of a possible settlement agreement within 21 days.

24 July 2008 • The Information Update was posted to all R&E shareholders.

August 2008 • R&E and certain of its subsidiaries issued summons against third parties for damages allegedly sustained by R&E and its subsidiaries.

26 August 2008 • A SENS announcement was made by R&E that a settlement (which ultimately proved to be commercially and legally unsatisfactory), had not been achieved and the merger having failed, the dispute between the companies would be referred to arbitration.

September 2008 • Major shareholders of R&E approached the present Board of R&E and requested R&E to revisit a possible merger with JCI as opposed to immediate arbitration.

31 October 2008 • R&E announced that it had engaged in discussions with JCI, without prejudice, regarding the possibility of a merger between the two companies.

6 November 2008 • R&E and JCI issued a joint announcement setting out that the boards of both R&E and JCI had resolved to proceed with a merger of the companies based on the ratio of 1 R&E share in exchange for every 95 JCI shares, which was the ratio proposed in the announcement of 23 April 2007. The proposed merger would be subject to the necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals as well as the scheme of arrangement proposed by R&E to JCI shareholders (excluding R&E) being implemented in all respects by 31 March 2009 or such later date agreed to between the parties but not later than 29 June 2009.

4 – 5 December 2008 • R&E announced that it had made a proposal to the board of JCI on 4 November 2008, which was later updated on 2 December 2008 pertaining to the merger between R&E and JCI. A circular to R&E shareholders was posted on 5 December 2008 containing a notice of general meeting seeking the necessary approvals from R&E shareholders to proceed with the merger and obtain the necessary ratification from R&E shareholders for the making of the proposal, in terms of which it was proposed that R&E and JCI merge by way of a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 311 of the Act.

19 January 2009 • An overwhelming majority of R&E shareholders approved all ordinary and special resolutions tabled in respect of the proposed merger with JCI as circulated to shareholders on 5 December 2008.

25

2 February 2009 • The requisite majority of at least 75% of the votes of JCI shareholders/scheme participants was not obtained at the adjourned scheme meeting of JCI.

12 February 2009 • The South Gauteng High Court (Johannesburg) granted an order, inter alia, regarding the setting aside of the proceedings (including the vote and outcome of the JCI scheme meeting held on 2 February 2009) and reconvened the scheme meeting for 9 March 2009.

March 2009 • The scheme meeting of JCI shareholders (excluding R&E) was further adjourned until 29 April 2009 or such earlier date agreed to by JCI provided that appropriate notice was given to the relevant parties. R&E and JCI shareholders were advised that the adjourned scheme meeting was to be reconvened on 9 April 2009. R&E and JCI announced, on 30 March 2009, that R&E and JCI had agreed to extend the date of fulfilment of the relevant suspensive conditions to effect the merger to 15 May 2009.

9 April 2009 • The requisite majority of at least 75% of the votes of JCI shareholders/scheme participants was not obtained at the adjourned scheme meeting of JCI and the proposed merger between R&E and JCI had therefore lapsed.

The board indicated to shareholders that a settlement may still be achieved but all options including arbitration were being assessed by R&E.

31 August 2009 • JCI, JCIIF and R&E signed a settlement agreement subject to a number of suspensive conditions, one such condition requiring that certain of JCI and R&E shareholders furnish irrevocable undertakings within 2 days of the date of signature of the settlement agreement to support the settlement agreement and vote in favour of the resolutions to be passed at the shareholders meetings of R&E and JCI. Such irrevocable undertakings were however not forthcoming from JCI shareholders resulting in the lapsing of the settlement agreement.

18 September 2009 • JCI, JCIIF and R&E re-signed the settlement agreements, however, the aforementioned suspensive conditions were still not fulfilled.

22 September 2009 • R&E shareholders were advised that the settlement agreement between JCI, JCIIF and R&E had lapsed and that R&E would refer the disputes between it and JCI to arbitration in terms of the Mediation Agreement. Instructions were given to the R&E legal team to make the necessary arrangements in this regard.

3.2 The matters referred to above are in no way intended to be exhaustive of what follows in this Circular and shareholders are

required to carefully study the contents thereof, as well as prior information disclosed to shareholders (to the extent referred to in this Circular), and give consideration to the complex issues detailed herein.

4. THE BUSINESS OF R&E, JCI AND GOLD FIELDS

4.1 Business of R&E

4.1.1 IncorporationofR&E

R&E was incorporated as a public company in South Africa under the name Randgold & Exploration Company Limited on 29 September 1992 to take over the gold interests of Rand Mines Limited, being South Africa’s oldest mining house.

4.1.2 ThebusinessofR&E

R&E is an investment holding company with assets (held directly or indirectly through its subsidiaries, including FSD) in the mining industry. An organogram of R&E is contained in Annexure 14 hereto, which sets out investments held directly and indirectly through R&E subsidiaries. FSD currently holds the prospecting rights in Du Preez Leger and Jeanette projects.

The Company aims to invest in high quality assets in the mining industry that will ensure maximum return for its shareholders. R&E will only consider mining where the resource analysis proves that it is commercially prudent to do so. There are currently no operational mines in the group.

R&E currently holds prospecting rights directly and indirectly through subsidiary companies which, if proven viable, it plans to develop further in order to increase the value of its investments.

More particularly, approximately 26% of the assets of R&E at 31 December 2009, being the date of the last audited financial statements, constitutes investments in the gold market through R&E’s investment in Gold Fields and gold-related prospecting rights. For more detail in this regard, shareholders are referred to the overview of the Competent Person’s Reports (Annexures 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 to the Circular) and the condensed audited consolidated statement of financial position at 31 December 2009 (Annexure 6) to this Circular). The balance of the assets of R&E are comprised of cash and secured loans to the JCI group, making R&E extremely liquid and well placed to take advantage of viable investment opportunities in the mining industry.

4.1.3 RecoveryofassetsbyR&E

R&E alleges that it was the victim of widespread frauds and thefts of its assets during the Kebble era which resulted in the Company being stripped of the majority of its assets. Based on forensic investigations, legal assessments and the opinion of R&E’s Counsel, R&E has embarked on a process of attempting to recover damages allegedly sustained by it in respect of the alleged misappropriation of its assets, including against JCI.

Page 29: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

27

This process has culminated in the conclusion of the revised Settlement Agreement, the Litigation Settlement Agreement and the institution of various claims against third parties (see Annexure 9 for more detail regarding the current status of the claims against third parties). Shareholders are further referred to paragraph 15 as read with Annexure 9 of this Circular for details of settlements that have been concluded between R&E and third parties post the newly constituted board of R&E.

4.1.4 ProspectingRights

4.1.4.1 The R&E group has several prospecting rights as described below which it intends to develop further. Shareholders are further referred to the Competent Persons’ Reports that have been prepared in this regard, overviews whereof are attached to this Circular as Annexures 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3.

4.1.4.2 The information furnished in this Circular (other than that disclosed in the Company’s annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2009) regarding the possible value attached to the prospecting rights as set out in Annexure 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 is made available for purposes of disclosure only and should in no way be relied upon or accepted as representing the actual value that can be derived by R&E from such prospecting rights and/or as indicative of any future economic benefits which may flow to the company in respect hereof. The company has recorded such prospecting rights at the historical cost thereof (see page 52 of the Company’s audited annual financial statements for the financial year ended 31 December 2009), a copy of which is available for inspection in terms of paragraph 39 of this circular. In so far as any value ascribed to the prospecting rights as contained in Annexure 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3 in this Circular varies from the historical cost as disclosed in the audited annual financial statements, the Company cautions against any reliance being placed thereon by R&E shareholders. Should circumstances change in future which give rise to the need to re-assess the value ascribed to the prospecting rights as contained in Annexure 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, the value thereof will be revisited at such stage, in the light of the circumstances which may arise.

4.1.4.3 The MPRDA came into effect on 1 May 2004 and has played a significant role in the transformation of the South African mining industry. The MPRDA, which effectively transferred the ownership of privately held mineral rights to the state, has enabled third parties to apply to the DME, for new order prospecting rights over the previously privately owned mineral rights. R&E and its subsidiary companies have embraced this transformation and have converted old order mineral rights to new order prospecting rights. New order prospecting rights are generally valid for up to five years, with options for extensions. The new order prospecting rights require 26% Black economic empowerment which R&E and its subsidiaries have achieved. All new order rights have been executed and prospecting on the various projects has commenced over those areas with the best potential.

4.1.4.4 Doornbosch Project (Platinum Prospecting Right)

R&E holds the prospecting rights for platinum group metals (PGMs) nickel (Ni) and copper (Cu) over the farm Doornbosch 294 KT north of the town Steelpoort, Mpumalanga Province. Prospecting work has focused on a small portion of the farm in the north-west corner, where there is a known occurrence of upper group 2 (UG2) chromitite reef. Ground mapping was done to confirm the position of the outcrop on the property and was followed up by drilling a diamond borehole to retrieve a sample of the reef and estimate a resource.

During the last reporting period, the field mapping done was followed by the drilling of a borehole (DBH1), which intersected the UG2 chromitite reef at around 135 metres below surface. Samples were analysed for PGMs and gold as well as Cu and Ni from which a SAMREC compliant, indicated resource was estimated at 184 000 oz at 4.67 g/t (3PGE+Au) over a selected stoping width of 102 cm (including part of a hanging wall and footwall).

It is believed that the resource is too small for a stand-alone operation and discussions were initiated between R&E and Anglo Platinum Limited (APL) as to a possible transaction. Through technical discussions with APL, it was agreed that the values obtained from borehole DBH1 varied from the local average in terms of thickness and grade for the chromitite reef and that a final resource estimate amounts to 157 026 oz at 7.77 g/t (3PGE + Au) over 61,5 cm (chromitite reef portion only).

It should further be noted that R&E is considering amending the PWP, as the current PWP refers to a three year prospecting period whereas the DMR granted the right for a five year period. An application will be lodged with the DMR for the amendment of such PWP if the DMR deem it necessary.

4.1.4.5 Kameelhoek Project (Iron Ore Prospecting)

The prospecting rights for iron covers the southern portion of the farm Kameelhoek 477 which is located in the iron and manganese district south of Postmasburg in the Northern Cape Province. The property adjoins the new Sishen South iron ore mine, currently under development. Negotiations with Kumba Iron Ore concerning prospecting and potential incorporation of the area into the future mine have progressed well.

Page 30: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

28

Potential iron ore associated with the Manganore Iron formation (Blinkklip Breccia), the underlying Wolhaarkop Breccia (Manganese Marker) and the overlying Doornfontein Conglomerate of the Gamagara Formation outcrop over about 1.5 km south-east of the property and dips to the east towards Sishen-South Mine covering an area of about 90 ha. This is an extension of the shallow, high grade ore body to the south on the Sishen-South Mine.

This prospecting right has been lodged at the MTO and is in the process of being registered in the name of Doornrivier. Doornrivier is considering amending the PWP for Kameelhoek to indicate the actual prospecting activities done by Doornrivier.

4.1.4.6 Du Preez Leger Project (Gold Prospecting Right)

The Du Preez Leger Project comprises four exploration areas in the southern Free State Goldfield of the Witwatersrand Basin, adjoining producing gold mines including Harmony’s St Helena, Unisel and Merrispruit shafts and Gold Fields’ Beatrix Mine. The new order prospecting rights, issued on 7 November 2006, is held by FSD, a subsidiary of R&E, and is valid until 6 November 2011. The four exploration areas include the farms Du Preez Leger 324 and Jonkersrust 72 (the Du Preez Leger area), Vermeulenskraal 223 (the Vermeulenskraal area), Tweepan 678 and Millo 639 (the Tweepan area) and Rebelkop 456 (the Rebelkop area).

Areas of interest

The potential of the properties, with the exception of Rebelkop, has been well demonstrated by historical drilling both on and around the properties. No invasive physical exploration activities have been conducted by FSD to date, and accordingly the environment has not been impacted.

The placers of primary economic interest at the adjacent mines as well as at the Du Preez Leger project area are the Basal and Leader Reefs. The Leader Reef underlying the three blocks of ground represented by Du Preez Leger, Vermeulenskraal and Tweepan all occur in a relatively similar depositional setting near the unconformity of the Basal Reef against the overlying Leader Reefs. The potential exists in these areas for the Leader Reef to be enriched where it has eroded the underlying Basal Reef.

The two areas of Du Preez Leger and Vermeulenskraal are both partially underlain by Basal Reef of good grade at relatively shallow depth that are strategically located adjacent to current mining development. On the Vermeulenskraal and Tweepan 678 properties, which have more marginal Leader Reef, depth is the critical economic factor. The eastern part of both properties have potential where the Leader and Beatrix reefs occur at moderate depths associated with upthrown structural blocks.

The Rebelkop property may have potential for shallow Leader and Beatrix reefs. However, it is untested and its remote location renders it unfavourable for the development of a mine. Due to the limited information available regarding the Rebelkop area, it has not been evaluated for a mineral resource.

Minxcon was recently commissioned to compile a CPR using historical drillhole data and have estimated a SAMREC-compliant diluted inferred resource for the combined Basal and Leader reefs of 56.91 Mt at a grade of 5.02 g/t, using a cut-off grade of 250 cm.g/t, stoping width of 120 cm and 5% geological loss.

A full mineral asset valuation of the Du Preez Leger project was also conducted by Minxcon, effective 19 February 2010. A 2010 forecast rand/dollar exchange rate of R7.59 to the USD was used in the conversion of the USD. The valuation range for the total value for the project was established at between R153.988 million and R252.003 million respectively; with a fair value of R240.684 million. No account of any modifying factors such as mining methods, metallurgical treatment processes and parameters, taxation, socio-economic, marketing or political factors were taken into account.

Owing to its significant resources and strategic location, a number of parties have expressed interest in the Du Preez Leger project, and negotiations are in progress. Although significant data are available on the project, the company is also considering the possibility of drilling additional geological boreholes during 2010 and 2011 to further enhance the value of the project. The estimated funding requirements for exploration for the 2009 – 2010 combined year is R5.185 million and for 2011 is R350 000. R&E has sufficient cash resources to fund future exploration and environmental work.

It should further be noted that this prospecting right has not yet been registered at the MTO due to certain amendments to be effected after the re-execution of the prospecting right. An appointment is being waited on with the DMR to finalise this. This does not affect the validity of this prospecting right.

4.1.4.7 The Weltevreden Project (Gold Prospecting Right)

The prospecting right for gold, silver and uranium covers 272 ha of portions of the farms Leeuwbosch 285 and Kutlwanong 451 in the Free State goldfield, adjoining the northern boundary of Harmony’s Tshepong gold

Page 31: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

29

mine. The prospecting right was granted on 21 January 2010 and desktop studies have been initiated to assess the potential of the property on which the Basal Reef is believed to be developed.

This prospecting right has been lodged at the MTO for registration. It should further be noted that R&E is considering amending the PWP, as the current PWP refers to a three year prospecting period whereas the DMR granted the right for a five year period. An application will be lodged with the DMR for the amendment of such PWP if the DMR deem it necessary.

4.1.4.8 The Jeanette Project

The prospecting rights for gold, silver and uranium ores covers contiguous portions of three farms which include Buitendachshoop 122, Weltevreden 59 and Emmanuel 433 which adjoin the previously defined Jeanette mining lease area in the Free State Gold Field. Historical drilling records indicate encouraging mineral grades associated with the Basal and A reefs that, if consolidated with adjoining ground, could support a potential mining project. The right was granted on 1 June 2009, and desktop studies have been implemented as well as discussions with parties who are interested in consolidating potential resources for a future mine.

It should further be noted that R&E is considering amending the PWP, as the current PWP refers to a three year prospecting period whereas the DMR granted the right for a five year period. An application will be lodged with the DMR to obtain consent for the amendment of such PWP if the DMR deem it necessary.

4.1.4.9 The Sterkfontein Project

The Sterkfontein project is located south of the Weltevreden and Tau Lekota gold mines of the Klerksdorp Gold Field in the Free State Province. The project was assessed by an external independent geological consultant using historically available data and concluded to contain VCR reef typical of thin low-grade facies which was determined to have low potential for economically viable gold mining. The necessary application to close this project was made to the DMR in March 2010, in order to prevent prospecting costs accruing to the Company.

4.2 The Business of JCI

JCI has invested in various industries having formerly had a strong mining background. The majority of assets of JCI post the proposed settlement will consist mainly of its investment in Boschendal and its investment in Jaganda as set out in the NAV statement of JCI (Annexure 13 of this Circular). R&E has lodged various claims against JCI, totalling approximately R19 billion based on the highest value of such claims up to 31 December 2009, the details of which are set out in Annexure 2 of this Circular.

4.3 Prospects of JCI

Following the implementation of the revised Settlement Agreement, JCI’s major asset will be its controlling interest in Boschendal, as more fully disclosed in the JCI group NAV statement set out in Annexure 13. The directors of JCI are actively pursuing the development of Boschendal and the enhancement of the value of JCI’s investment therein.

JCI is in the course of preparing annual financial statements for the financial years 2005 to 2010 inclusive. Once these have been finalised, they will be reported to shareholders and an annual general meeting of shareholders called, one of the purposes of which will be to approve the annual financial statements and to transact the business normal for an annual general meeting. At or before the holding of this meeting, shareholders will be advised of the directors’ plans for the future direction of the company.

4.4 The Business of Gold Fields

Gold Fields is one of the world’s largest producers of gold, operating in four key gold mining regions of the world, South Africa, Ghana, Peru and Australia. In addition, exploration for gold and other precious metals is conducted worldwide. Gold Fields is listed on the JSE (primary listing), the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), the Dubai International Financial Exchange (DIFX), the Euronext in Brussels (NYX) and the Swiss Exchange (SWX). The transfer of the settlement GFI shares will comprise approximately 0.9% of the issued share capital of Gold Fields. Further information pertaining to Gold Fields can be obtained on the Gold Fields website at www.goldfields.co.za. A detailed analysis of the share price movements of Gold Fields is contained in Annexure 19 of this Circular.

5.4.4 It is recorded in terms of the Mediation Agreement that JCI has assumed liability for any indebtedness found to be owing by JCI and/or the JCI subsidiaries to the R&E parties. JCI in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement has recorded its intention to allocate the settlement GFI shares to claims which the R&E group may have against the JCI subsidiaries and the issue of the new JCI shares to claims which the R&E group has against JCI. (The fact that the distribution of the settlement GFI shares will be treated by the JCI group so as to release the JCI group from the claims which the R&E group allegedly has against the JCI subsidiaries and the distribution of the new JCI shares will be treated by the JCI group so as to release the JCI group from all claims which the R&E group has against JCI, does not imply that the R&E group allegedly enjoyed claims against JCI and/or the JCI subsidiaries, the R&E claims being as asserted by it in the Statement of Claim, nor does it imply that any party in concluding the revised Settlement Agreement is making any admission or concession in respect of the Statement of Claim or Statement of Defence).

5.4.5 If any dividends are declared by Gold Fields in respect of the settlement GFI shares in the period between the Signature Date of the revised Settlement Agreement and the date that the revised Settlement Agreement is implemented, such dividends shall, if the revised Settlement Agreement is implemented, be for the benefit of R&E, subject to 5.4.3 above. If the revised Settlement Agreement is not implemented, such dividends shall be for the benefit of JCI.

5.4.6 The revised Settlement Agreement makes provision for limited warranties by JCI in favour of R&E relating in essence to matters concerning the business of JCI. JCI warrants inter alia that unless otherwise disclosed in the disclosure schedule, neither it nor any JCI subsidiary are parties to any legal action in respect of which a cause of action arose subsequent to the date of reconstitution; no action is threatened or pending for the winding up of JCI; the NAV statement published by JCI on 5 December 2008 constituted a true and accurate record of the financial position of JCI as at that date in respect of which there have not been any material changes; neither JCI nor any JCI subsidiary is a party to any tax objection or appeal; during the period between the signature date of the revised Settlement Agreement and the Effective Date of the revised Settlement Agreement, JCI will not have caused a material adverse change in the financial position of JCI and the affected JCI subsidiaries.

5.5 Indemnity by R&E

5.5.1 An R&E party, has in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, granted a JCI party an indemnity in respect of all claims which may be made by third parties against a JCI party arising from any third party claims, where such third party has secured a contribution/award from a competent court of final instance against a JCI party arising from the alleged liability of that third party to an R&E party in terms of a third party claim, provided always that a JCI party becomes obliged to pay a contribution/award to such third party in respect of any order made by a competent court of final instance against the third party in favour of an R&E party.

5.5.2 In any of the events contemplated in the revised Settlement Agreement, the indemnity shall not exceed the extent of the award secured by an R&E party against the third party and shall only become due upon a JCI party being ordered by a court of final instance in respect of an award granted in favour of an R&E party, to pay such contribution/award to such third party. Subject to a JCI party being found to be liable, the operation of the indemnity will in effect reduce the amount recoverable by an R&E party from the third party which amount has been awarded by a competent court in favour of an R&E party against the third party. The full and further details of the indemnity provision (including the manner in which costs are to be dealt with), appear from the revised Settlement Agreement which agreement is available for inspection by shareholders as provided for in paragraph 39 of this Circular. A reciprocal indemnity has in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement been furnished by JCI to R&E and the R&E subsidiaries.

32

5.5.3 The effect of the indemnity on the third party claims will be considered by the R&E board in the light of such steps as may be taken by third parties against JCI in due course.

5.6 Undertakings by JCI and JCIIF

5.6.1 Following the security assets being released by Investec to JCIIF, JCI and JCIIF have irrevocably and unconditionally undertaken unto and in favour of R&E:

5.6.1.1 that pending the distribution of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders; and/or

5.6.1.2 in the event that the revised Settlement Agreement is cancelled and/or not implemented for any reason whatsoever, except for the cancellation of such agreement as a result of R&E shareholders not passing the requisite resolutions; and, until such time as the R&E claims and the JCI claims have been finally resolved, not without the written consent of R&E (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) to alienate, transfer, cede, assign, make over, pledge, encumber, furnish as collateral or by way of guarantee or in any way deal with (whether directly and/or indirectly) any or all of:

5.6.1.2.1 the settlement GFI shares; and/or

5.6.1.2.2 the Boschendal shares, the Purple Plum shares and the Boschendal claims (other than in terms of the share acquisition agreements).

5.6.2 The revised Settlement Agreement makes provision for the fact that this agreement supersedes the initial settlement agreement with effect from the date that the revised Settlement Agreement becomes unconditional. The rights of the parties in respect of clause 17 of the initial settlement agreement will however continue to apply between them until such time as the initial settlement agreement is superceded. In this regard JCI and JCIIF irrevocably and unconditionally undertook unto and in favour of R&E by way of the initial settlement agreement that:

5.6.2.1 pending the distribution of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders; and/or

5.6.2.2 in the event of the initial settlement agreements being cancelled and/or not being implemented for any reason whatsoever, except where the cancellation of such agreement is a result of R&E shareholders not passing the requisite resolutions to implement same, and, until such time as R&E’s claims and JCI’s claims have been finally resolved,

not without the written consent of R&E (which consent R&E agreed would not be unreasonably withheld) to alienate, transfer, cede, assign, make over, pledge, encumber, furnish as collateral or by way of guarantee or in any way deal with (whether directly and/or indirectly) any or all of:

5.6.2.2.1 the settlement GFI shares; and/or

5.6.2.2.2 inter alia the Boschendal shares, the Purple Plum shares and the Boschendal claims (other than in terms of the share acquisition agreements).

5.7 Rationale for the proposed settlement agreement

5.7.1 R&E and JCI shareholders are referred to, inter alia, prior announcements and shareholder updates regarding the disputes between R&E and JCI, the proposed merger between R&E and JCI and the failure thereof, and the conclusion and lapsing of the initial settlement agreement between R&E and JCI. Such strategies were pursued by the boards of both R&E and JCI as an alternative to costly and protracted litigation as a result of the ongoing legal disputes between R&E and JCI. In keeping with such strategy the parties have again, for commercial reasons and in order to avoid costly and protracted litigation, concluded the revised Settlement Agreement.

5.7.2 The rationale for the proposed settlement as set out in paragraph 5.7.1 above follows the rationale for the proposed merger of R&E and JCI as was recorded in the Merger Circular. As previously reported to R&E shareholders, JCI has denied all liability to R&E in respect of the R&E claims and failing the revised Settlement Agreement being implemented the impending arbitration or litigation (in the event of the relief sought in the JCI application being upheld) is inevitable. The board of R&E is however aware of the costs which may be incurred in protracted litigation against JCI before a resolution of R&E’s claims can be obtained. Furthermore, should R&E be successful in obtaining an award against JCI in respect of R&E’s claims, any recovery which R&E may make is likely to be constrained by JCI’s NAV of approximately R1.2 billion at 31 December 2009. There is no prospect of JCI being able to satisfy the R&E claims (if successful) beyond the extent of JCI’s NAV and furthermore R&E’s prospects of success against JCI cannot be assured.

The board of R&E is also cognisant of the substantial time that executives and management of R&E would have to dedicate in prosecuting such claims which may impact the operations of R&E.

Page 35: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

33

5.7.3 Based on the above, the present Board of R&E is of the opinion that costly and protracted litigation against JCI is not in the best interests of shareholders and R&E regards the proposed settlement as a pragmatic means to restore shareholder value and as representing a sensible resolution to the impasse with JCI.

5.7.4 The implementation of the revised Settlement Agreement in its entirety will thus result in the JCI group and the directors and officers of the JCI group only being released from the R&E group’s claims against the JCI group and such directors and officers, and vice versa, this, without the parties making any admissions of liability or any concessions in regard to their respective claims.

6. FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS

6.1 General

The proposed settlement incorporating the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of R&E’s entire shareholding in JCI shares (which includes both the new JCI shares per the proposed settlement and the existing JCI shares pre-settlement) to R&E shareholders, is governed by the laws of South Africa and is subject to all applicable laws and regulations, including exchange control regulations (shareholders are referred to paragraph 37 of this Circular).

Having regard to prevailing laws in their relevant jurisdictions, foreign shareholders may be affected by the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of JCI shares by R&E. Such foreign shareholders should inform themselves about and observe any applicable legal requirements of such jurisdictions in relation to all aspects of this Circular that may affect them, including the capital distribution and the unbundling. Foreign shareholders may be prohibited from beneficially holding any of the settlement GFI shares and the JCI shares unbundled and distributed to them.

It is the responsibility of each foreign shareholder to satisfy itself as to the full observation of the laws and regulatory requirements of the relevant foreign jurisdiction in connection with the capital distribution and the unbundling, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange or other consents or the making of any filings which may be required, the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes or other requisite payments due in such jurisdiction.

Any foreign shareholder who is in doubt as to his position with respect to the capital distribution and unbundling in any jurisdiction, including, without limitation, his tax status, should consult an appropriate professional advisor in the relevant jurisdiction without delay. In particular, foreign shareholders must take their own advice on whether they are entitled to beneficially hold any settlement GFI shares or JCI shares unbundled and distributed to them and take the appropriate action in accordance with that advice.

6.2 Ineligible foreign shareholders

Foreign shareholders in certain jurisdictions outside of South Africa may not be entitled to take transfer any of the settlement GFI shares distributed and JCI shares unbundled by R&E.

The R&E board recommends the following mechanism for distribution of any of the settlement GFI shares and/or the unbundled JCI shares to ineligible foreign shareholders. In the case of any of such shares which an ineligible foreign shareholder is taking transfer of, such shares are to be lodged on behalf of the ineligible foreign shareholders with a trust company to be nominated by the R&E board in its sole discretion and to be held by the said company on behalf of the ineligible foreign shareholders, to be disposed of by them for the benefit of the ineligible foreign shareholders so as to comply with the regulatory restraints of such jurisdictions.

Subject to the above, the trust company will be requested to coordinate the disposal of any the settlement GFI shares and/or the unbundled JCI shares (as the case may be) on behalf of such ineligible foreign shareholders for cash in South Africa and distribute the cash proceeds therefrom (net of applicable fees, expenses, taxes and charges) to ineligible foreign shareholders, in proportion to such ineligible foreign shareholders’ entitlement to the settlement GFI shares and/or unbundled JCI shares. There can be no assurance as to what price such ineligible foreign shareholders will receive from the disposal of such settlement GFI shares or unbundled JCI shares or the timing or exchange rate conversion of such receipt. The JCI shares currently largely trade in the over-the-counter market in South Africa and on a limited basis. No assurance can be given that such mechanism, will be successfully implemented.

6.3 Holders of ADRs

R&E shall distribute any of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundled JCI shares to which ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing such ADR holders. BNY Mellon may dispose of the settlement GFI shares and/or the JCI shares on behalf of ADR holders for cash either independently or in combination and distribute the cash proceeds therefrom (net of applicable fees, expenses, taxes and charges) to such ADR holders, in proportion to such ADR holders’ entitlement to the settlement GFI shares and/or unbundled JCI shares.

There can be no assurance as to what price such ADR holders will receive from the disposal of any of the settlement GFI shares and/or unbundled JCI shares or the timing or exchange rate conversion of such receipt. It should further be noted that the JCI shares currently largely trade in the over-the-counter market in South Africa and on a limited basis.

This is not an offer of securities for sale in the US or to or for the account or benefit of any “US person” and securities may not be offered or sold in the US or to a “US person” absent registration or an exemption from registration. There will be no public offering of the settlement GFI securities or unbundled JCI securities in the US or to a “US person” that would require registration.

7.1.3 On the next business day following the Gold Fields transfer date or so soon as possible thereafter, a duly authorised representative of JCI shall communicate simultaneously and telephonically with Computershare for purposes of confirming that Computershare is in a position to register the new JCI shares in the name of R&E and to immediately following the distribution of the settlement GFI shares to the R&E shareholders as a capital distribution, and on the same day, to transfer its entire holding of JCI shares (which consists both the new JCI shares in terms of the proposed settlement and the existing JCI shares pre-settlement) to the R&E shareholders. Upon receipt of the verbal confirmation from Computershare to the satisfaction of JCI that Computershare is in such a position, the following shall occur on the same day:

7.1.4 R&E shall be informed by JCI of such verbal confirmation;

7.1.5 the new JCI shares will be registered in the name of R&E with Computershare;

7.1.6.2 immediately following the distribution of the settlement GFI shares, Computershare shall distribute the JCI shares (which comprises both of the new JCI shares per the proposed settlement and its existing JCI shares owned pre-settlement) to the R&E shareholders as part of an unbundling process.

7.1.7 If Computershare is, for whatever reason, not in a position to immediately give effect to paragraph 7.1.6 then:

7.1.7.1 the settlement GFI shares will continue to remain in R&E’s CSDP account pending the JCI transfer date; and

7.1.7.2 The new JCI shares will not be issued to R&E until Computershare confirms to the satisfaction of the person representing JCI that it is able to immediately register the new JCI shares in the name of R&E and immediately following the distribution of the settlement GFI shares to the R&E shareholders to thereafter on the same day unbundle the JCI shares to the R&E shareholders.

7.1.8 If, within 10 days of the Gold Fields transfer date, the JCI transfer date has not occurred, R&E shall immediately cause the settlement GFI shares to be transferred into JCIIF’s CSDP account, simultaneously with which, the parties to the revised Settlement Agreement shall be restored to the status quo ante which subsisted immediately prior to the Signature Date of the revised Settlement Agreement.

7.1.9 Immediately following the suspensive condition fulfilment date the parties to the revised Settlement Agreement undertake each to the other to sign forthwith all such documents and to do all such things as may be necessary in order to give effect to the distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of the JCI shares to the R&E shareholders.

7.2 Procedure and implementation of capital distribution

7.2.1 Following the fulfilment of the procedures as set out in paragraph 7.1, subject to the fulfilment of all suspensive conditions as set out in paragraph 5.3 of this Circular and subject to an ordinary resolution being passed by the requisite majority of R&E shareholders entitled to vote thereon, approving of the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares out of share premium to R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings, R&E shall distribute to R&E shareholders, registered at the close of business on the Record Date for the capital distribution, the settlement GFI shares in proportion to their shareholding. The capital distribution will be effected on or about Monday, 5 July 2010.

7.2.2 Certificated R&E shareholders recorded in the register on the Record Date will receive a share certificate for the GFI shares distributed to them, in proportion to their shareholding, sent to their registered postal address by registered mail on or about Tuesday, 6 July 2010, at their risk. Certificated shareholders will be required to dematerialise such share certificates in order to sell such GFI shares on the JSE.

7.3 Procedure and implementation of the unbundling

7.3.1 Following the fulfilment of the procedures as set out in 7.1, subject to the fulfilment of all suspensive conditions as set out in paragraph 5.3 of this Circular and subject to an ordinary resolution being passed by the requisite majority of R&E shareholders entitled to vote thereon, approving of the distribution and unbundling of R&E’s entire shareholding in JCI (which consists of both the new JCI shares in terms of the proposed settlement and the existing JCI shares pre-settlement) firstly out of share premium to R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholding, R&E shall unbundle to R&E shareholders, registered at the close of business on the Record Date its entire shareholding in JCI in proportion to their shareholding. Should the share premium prove to be insufficient, reserves will be applied to the extent necessary. The unbundling will be effected on or about Monday, 5 July 2010.

7.3.2 The unbundling will amount to a payment in terms of section 90 of the Companies Act and be in accordance with articles 119 and 120 of the Articles and section 46 of the Income Tax Act.

Certificated shareholders will be required to dematerialise such share certificate in order to sell such JCI shares on the JSE. Shareholders are further referred to paragraph 6 setting out the details relating to the JCI shares i.e. the JCI shares largely only trading in the over-the-counter market in South Africa on a limited basis. It is the stated intention of JCI to pursue a re-listing of JCI shares on the JSE.

8. TAx CONSEQUENCES OF THE CAPITAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SETTLEMENT GFI SHARES AND THE UNBUNDLING OF THE JCI SHARES

Set out below is a guide only and is not intended to be a complete analysis of the tax implications of the proposed settlement incorporating the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of the JCI shares. It is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice. Shareholders should therefore, consult their own tax advisors on the tax consequences of the proposed settlement in both South Africa and their jurisdiction of residence, for which neither R&E nor its advisors will be held responsible.

36

8.1 Tax considerations for R&E and the nature of distributions to R&E shareholders

It is important to appreciate that R&E will enter into two separate transactions even though they are interlinked. These two transactions will result in separate tax consequences for the R&E shareholders.

In terms of the proposed distributions:

• R&E will first distribute to R&E shareholders the settlement GFI shares, out of share premium, that it will receive from JCI and JCIIF pursuant to the proposed settlement;

• thereafter and as a separate transaction, R&E will embark upon an unbundling transaction in terms of which it will distribute to the R&E shareholders its existing shareholding in JCI (amounting to approximately 8.5% of the issued share capital of JCI after the implementation of the proposed settlement) as well as the new JCI shares issued to R&E pursuant to the proposed settlement (amounting to approximately 43.7% of the issued share capital of JCI after settlement). In other words, a total of 52.2% of the total issued shares in the share capital of JCI will be distributed by R&E to the R&E shareholders as part of the unbundling transaction.

The tax consequences of each transaction are summarised below. Please note that this summary is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of the tax consequences of the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the subsequent unbundling of the JCI shares. Shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisors in regard to the tax treatment of the relevant transactions in the context of their specific circumstances. The general outline of the tax consequences of the transactions as set out herein is not intended to be tax advice to the R&E shareholders.

8.1.1. Capital distribution to R&E shareholders of the settlement GFI shares

Pursuant to the revised Settlement Agreement, R&E will receive the settlement GFI shares from JCI and JCIIF.

The settlement GFI shares will be distributed by R&E to the R&E shareholders as a capital distribution by the reduction of its share premium account.

In terms of subsection (f) of the definition of a dividend in section 1 of the Income Tax Act a distribution which represents a reduction in the share premium account of a company does not constitute a dividend for tax purposes (provided that it does not constitute a repayment of capitalised profits previously transferred to the share premium account). Accordingly the distribution of the settlement GFI shares by R&E as a capital reduction will not constitute a dividend. The distribution will therefore also not attract any STC from the perspective of R&E.

Where a company makes a distribution of an asset in specie to a shareholder, such company is treated for tax purposes as having disposed of the asset to the shareholder on the date of distribution for an amount equal to the market value thereof on such date. In other words, the distribution of the settlement GFI shares will be deemed to be a disposal of the settlement GFI shares by R&E. However, in view of the fact that R&E will distribute the settlement GFI shares to the R&E shareholders on the same date that it has received same from JCI in terms of the settlement agreement, it is not expected that there will be any gain or loss in the hands of R&E pursuant to such a distribution.

The transfer of the settlement GFI shares to the R&E shareholders will be subject to securities transfer tax at the rate of 0.25%.

8.1.2 Distribution and unbundling of the JCI shares held by R&E

The existing JCI shares held by R&E as well as the new JCI shares that will be issued by JCI to R&E in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement will be distributed to R&E shareholders in terms of an unbundling transaction as envisaged in section 46 of the Income Tax Act. Corporate roll-over relief is afforded to R&E and the R&E shareholders to the extent that one meets the relevant requirements as set out in section 46 of the Income Tax Act. Effectively R&E will distribute its entire shareholding of JCI shares to the R&E shareholders in accordance with the effective interest of the R&E shareholders in R&E. Because the shares in JCI are listed on the JSE, the requirement is that the unbundled shares in JCI must constitute more than 25% of the equity shares in JCI in the case where no other shareholder holds an equal or greater amount of equity shares in the unbundled company. Otherwise the minimum threshold is 35%. Given the fact that the JCI shares to be distributed by R&E to the R&E shareholders will constitute 52.2% of the entire issued shares in the share capital of JCI, the relevant requirements of the unbundling provisions will thus be met.

Pursuant to the unbundling provisions contained in section 46 of the Income Tax Act:

• R&E must disregard the distribution of the JCI shares for purposes of determining its taxable income or assessed loss;

• the distribution by R&E will not be deemed to be a dividend; and

• the JCI shares are deemed to have been distributed first from the remaining share premium account of R&E.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the unbundling provisions do not apply if, immediately after the distribution of the JCI shares, 20% or more of the shares in JCI are held by so-called disqualified persons either alone or together with any connected person in relation to the disqualified person. A disqualified person is amongst others defined as a non-resident or certain exempt entities.

Page 39: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

37

The unbundling provisions will apply automatically and it is not necessary to make any specific election to such effect. The transfer of the JCI shares will also not be subject to securities transfer tax in terms of section 8(1)(a) of the Securities Transfer Tax Act No 25 of 2007 given the fact that the public officer of R&E will make a sworn affidavit that the transfer of the JCI shares complies with the provisions of section 46 of the Income Tax Act.

8.2 Tax considerations for South African resident shareholders

8.2.1 Capital distribution to R&E shareholders of the settlement GFI shares

The capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders will have tax implications for the shareholders concerned. The distribution may either be deemed to be on revenue account or capital account, depending on the intention of the R&E shareholder concerned.

To the extent that the current shares in R&E are held on capital account, paragraph 76A of the Eighth Schedule to the Act provides that a shareholder is deemed to have made a part disposal of the R&E shares on the date that the capital distribution is received by the shareholder. Paragraph 33 of the Eighth Schedule determines the way in which the proceeds are to be calculated. The tax consequences would depend on the way in which the relevant R&E shares have been accounted for by the R&E shareholder to date, for instance on a weighted average base cost methodology or specific identification methodology.

Paragraph 33 of the Eighth Schedule provides that, in a case of a part disposal:

• the proportion of the expenditure attributable to the part disposed of is an amount which bears to the expenditure allowable in terms of paragraph 20 of the Eighth Schedule in respect of the entire asset the same proportion as the market value of the part disposed of bears to the market value of the entire asset immediately prior to the disposal; and

• the market value on 1 October 2001 (to the extent that the shares have been held prior to such date) attributable to the part disposed of is an amount which bears to the market value adopted or determined in terms of paragraph 29(4) in respect of the entire asset the same proportion as the market value of the part disposed of bears to the market value of the entire asset immediately prior to the disposal.

The provisions of paragraph 76A and paragraph 33 of the Eighth Schedule will have the following effect:

• the proceeds received by an R&E shareholder is equal to the market value of a settlement GFI share on the date of the capital distribution (being the date indicated by R&E to be the date that shareholders should be registered in R&E’s share register);

• the base cost of the existing R&E shares is divided between the settlement GFI shares and the R&E shares. This base cost is calculated by firstly determining the ratio between the market value of the settlement GFI shares over the market value of the R&E shares prior to the distribution and then multiplying the ratio with the original base cost of the R&E share;

• the R&E share will also have a new base cost by deducting from the original base cost of the R&E share the base cost allocated to the GFI share.

8.2.2 Distribution and unbundling of the JCI shares

R&E shareholders must first determine the new base cost of an R&E share pursuant to the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares. Once the new R&E base cost for an R&E share has been determined pursuant to the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares, a new base cost is again determined for the remaining R&E shares as well as the JCI shares received in terms of the unbundling process. Effectively the new base cost (for both the R&E and JCI shares) is determined in accordance with the ratio that the market value of the unbundled JCI shares (as at the end of the day after the distribution) bears to the sum of the market value (as at the end of that day) of the R&E shares as well as the JCI shares. The base cost for the JCI shares is effectively the percentage that the market value of the JCI shares is compared to the market value of both the R&E shares as well the JCI shares. Once this ratio is determined, it is then used to effectively “split” the existing R&E base cost between the JCI shares and the remaining R&E shares. No immediate tax result follows from the unbundling, but the tax liability will effectively be higher once the shares are sold given the fact that the existing base cost is divided between the R&E shares and the JCI shares.

8.3 Tax considerations for non-South African residents shareholders

R&E has not attempted to qualify the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares or the unbundling of the JCI shares as a tax-free transaction to shareholders in terms of the rule of any jurisdiction other than South Africa. Accordingly the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of the JCI shares may constitute a taxable transaction in any other such jurisdiction. Shareholders who are non-resident for tax purposes in South Africa, are advised to consult their professional advisors as regards the tax treatment of the capital distribution of settlement GFI shares and the unbundling of the JCI shares in light of the tax laws in their respective jurisdictions and tax treaties between South Africa and their countries of tax residence.

8.4.1 Capital distribution to R&E shareholders of the settlement GFI shares

BNY Mellon may dispose of the settlement GFI shares and then distribute the cash to ADR holders as referred to in paragraph 6.3 of this circular.

R&E has not attempted to qualify the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares as a tax-free transaction to shareholders in terms of the rule of any jurisdiction other than South Africa.

8.4.2 Distribution and unbundling of the JCI shares

BNY Mellon may dispose of the JCI shares and then distribute the cash to ADR holders as referred to in paragraph 6.3 of this circular.

R&E has not attempted to qualify the unbundling of the JCI shares as a tax-free transaction to shareholders in terms of the rule of any jurisdiction other than South Africa.

9. THE FSD ExCUSSION

9.1 Background to FSD excussion

9.1.1 Prior to the reconstitution of the JCI board in August 2005, JCI Gold had obtained a loan from FSD. It is not clear when the loan arose, nor does JCI have any copy of a loan agreement, for reasons which are further documented in paragraph 3 of this Circular.

9.1.2 On 17 April 2009, FSD formalised the aforementioned existing loan of R105 396 864, including interest thereon, owing to it by JCI Gold by concluding the FSD Loan Agreement in which it recorded the terms of the loan and concluded a pledge agreement which formalised the terms of an existing pledge of 79 000 000 JCI ordinary shares that had been pledged to FSD by JCI Gold.

9.1.3 It must be noted that JCI, while it had a portfolio of assets, had restricted cash and no operating business to meet its ongoing cash requirements. Consequently, when the settlement date for a long outstanding obligation arrived (in respect of which the JCI group was indebted to Letseng in an amount of R60 500 000 in respect of the disposal of Letseng Diamonds in Lesotho in June 2006) the JCI group was unable to raise the funds from banking channels. In addition, the major part of its assets were tied up as security pledged to Investec in terms of the Investec Loan Agreement.

9.1.4 R&E offered, however, to lend the required amount to JCI Gold, on an arm’s length basis and concluded the R&E Loan Agreement on 17 April 2009, which loan was granted against a pledge by JCI Gold of its 44.69% shareholding in FSD, which was the last material unencumbered asset that the JCI group held.

9.1.5 During December 2009, JCI was required to fund a cash call in respect of its shareholding in Boschendal which was under pressure from JCI’s bankers and, if the funds were not provided, JCI would have faced a severe dilution of its holding in Boschendal, to the detriment of JCI shareholders. As such R&E, on 18 December 2009, advanced a further R25 000 000 under the R&E Loan Agreement, on an arm’s length basis. As a pre-condition to making this advance, R&E required that it take cession from FSD of the JCI Gold loan by purchasing the rights and claims enjoyed by FSD against JCI Gold for the outstanding amount in terms of the FSD Loan Agreement which included the initial loan amount and any interest accrued thereon at prime.

9.2 The FSD excussion

9.2.1 Further to the information as set out in paragraph 9.1 above, JCI Gold was required to repay in full all outstanding amounts owed to R&E on 11 January 2010, in terms of the FSD Loan Agreement, the R&E Loan Agreement and the Pledge Agreement.

9.2.2 At the due date the total amount owing by JCI Gold to R&E amounted to R 208 139 856. As a result of JCI Gold failing to repay the full outstanding amount on the due date, R&E on 14 January 2010 exercised its right under the Pledge Agreement in respect of the remaining outstanding loan due by JCI Gold to R&E, (net of cash already received by R&E), of R161 960 265, by excussing against a component of the security it held, being the 6 690 610 FSD shares (approximately 30.1% of the equity share capital of FSD) owned by JCI Gold. The effective date of the FSD excussion, was 14 January 2010.

Page 41: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

39

9.2.3 The value at which the FSD shares were realised by R&E in terms of the security provided by JCI Gold was agreed by R&E and JCI Gold at R24.2071 per FSD share as set out in the Pledge Agreement. This price was based on FSD’s disclosed net asset value per FSD share at 31 December 2009. Such net asset value excluded any value for the exploration rights held in FSD on the grounds that the exploration rights had no realisable value.

9.2.4 The rationale for the FSD excussion was to enable R&E to recover the loan receivable from JCI Gold by exercising the security provided by JCI Gold in respect of such loans advanced by R&E. R&E furthermore provided the loans to JCI Gold following JCI’s limited access to cash and cash resources, the failure of JCI to successfully secure any further funding from financiers and as a result of the majority of JCI’s liquid assets being held by Investec as security in terms of the Investec Loan Agreement.

9.2.5 In terms of the FSD excussion R&E’s shareholding in FSD increased by 30.1% to 85.2%.

9.3 Ratification of the FSD excussion

9.3.1 R&E regards the exercise by it of its rights under the Pledge Agreement (which resulted in it taking transfer of 6 690 610 FSD shares), to have occurred solely in consequence of JCI Gold having failed to meet its repayment obligations to R&E when they fell due, in terms of the FSD Loan Agreement, the R&E Loan Agreement and the Pledge Agreement and to this extent maintains that such transfer occurred lawfully and in terms of the said agreements.

9.3.2 The JSE however has adopted the view that the aforesaid exercise by R&E of its rights (resulting in R&E taking transfer of the 6 690 610 FSD shares) amounts to an acquisition as contemplated under the JSE Listings Requirements, and has requested R&E to obtain by way of ordinary resolution the ratification of its shareholders for the FSD excussion. Without detracting from R&E’s position and in requesting its shareholders to ratify the FSD excussion, R&E in no way makes any concessions or waives any of its rights.

10. SUPPORT FROM VARIOUS PARTIES FOR THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, THE FSD ExCUSSION AND FOR THE LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

10.1 The Mediators re-affirmed their support for a settlement between R&E and JCI on 19 April 2010 as a commercially realistic outcome for resolving the difficulties facing the companies as appears from the Mediators Report being Annexure 1 to this Circular. Faced with the alternatives to a settlement, the Board of R&E supports a settlement as a pragmatic means of resolving the difficulties which confront R&E and its shareholders.

10.2 R&E, JCI and JCIIF have procured irrevocable undertakings from the following shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions required to effect the revised Settlement Agreement by JCI and R&E:

10.2.1 Letseng and Hawkhurst which do not hold any of the issued share capital of R&E and which collectively hold 17.52% (i.e. 7.98% and 9.54% respectively) of the issued share capital of JCI;

10.2.2 Investec which holds 26.26% of the issued share capital of R&E and 9.65% of the issued share capital of JCI; and

10.2.3 Allan Gray, in respect of which Allan Gray undertakes to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in which it exercises the voting rights, and to recommend to its clients to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in which its clients exercise the voting rights. Allan Gray directly and indirectly holds 24.35% of R&E and 22.87% of JCI.

10.3 Investec has further provided an irrevocable written confirmation, confirming Investec has irrevocably released from any security held by Investec in respect of any obligation owed to it by JCI and/or JCIIF, whether directly or indirectly the settlement GFI shares, to facilitate the transfer of such shares by JCI and JCIIF to R&E as contemplated in the revised Settlement Agreement.

10.4 On 8 March 2010, the requisite majority of JCI shareholders, representing not less than 75% of the shareholders present and entitled to vote thereat, approved the terms and implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement.

10.5 R&E has procured irrevocable undertakings from the following shareholders to vote in favour of the resolutions required to give effect to the FSD excussion:

10.5.1 Clear Horizon Multi-Strategy Fund which holds 1 271 168 R&E shares i.e. 1.7% of the issued share capital of R&E;

10.5.2 Investec which holds 26.26% of the issued share capital of R&E; and

10.5.3 Allan Gray, in respect of which Allan Gray undertakes to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in respect of which it exercises the voting rights, and to recommend to its clients to vote in favour of the resolutions pertaining to the shares in respect of which its clients exercise the voting rights. Allan Gray directly and indirectly holds 24.35% of R&E.

11. RELATED PARTY INFORMATION AND THE MEDIATORS’ REPORT

11.1 In view of the fact that JCI (and certain of its subsidiaries) hold in aggregate 8 305 427 shares in R&E, at the last practicable date, comprising 11.11% of the issued share capital of R&E, the proposed settlement, incorporating the transfer of the settlement GFI shares from JCI and JCIIF to R&E and the issue of the new JCI shares to R&E, was deemed by the Board of R&E to be a related party transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.

11.2 Furthermore, the FSD excussion, is regarded as a related party transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.

11.3 Therefore JCI (and its associates, being CMMS and JCIIF), are regarded as related parties to R&E in terms of the JSE’s Listings Requirements and will, in respect of Ordinary Resolution Numbers 1 to 3 and Ordinary Resolution Number 6 as set out in the Notice of the R&E General Meeting attached to this Circular, be taken into account in determining whether a quorum is present, but will be excluded from voting on such resolution.

ThesuitabilityoftheMediatorsandtheirreports

11.4 The inability of R&E and JCI to produce a fairness opinion has been motivated to the JSE as set out in Annexure 5 to this Circular. The Mediators report has been included in this Circular, as set out in Annexure 1, as it was not possible to produce a fairness opinion (as ordinarily required in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, having regard to the fact that the proposed settlement, incorporating the transfer of the settlement GFI shares from JCI and JCIIF to R&E and the issue of the new JCI shares to R&E, is deemed by the Board of R&E to be a related party transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements).

11.5 With effect from January 2010, the board of R&E and JCI appointed the Mediators to express an opinion on the proposed settlement. In order to enable them to do so, the companies agreed inter alia to make available to the Mediators all necessary reports in respect of the proposed settlement, the companies’ calculations relevant to the proposed settlement amount and generally undertook to act with the utmost good faith towards the Mediators in order to enable the Mediators to furnish an opinion.

11.6 On 19 April 2010, the Mediators’ Report was issued, a copy of which is Annexure 1 hereto. The Mediators concluded by way thereof that:

“...the Randgold/JCI settlement agreement is in our opinion, commercially prudent and not inequitable to the shareholders of Randgold or JCI”.

11.7 Shareholders are further advised that in arriving at their opinion, the Mediators had consideration for, inter alia, the fair net asset value of both R&E and JCI. The statement of financial position of R&E as set out in Annexure 6 to this Circular and the NAV of JCI as set out in Annexure 13 of this Circular do not reflect the underlying attributable value of R&E and JCI. The fair value of both R&E and JCI is dependent on the market prices of certain investments held by JCI, which are variable over time.

TheMediators’Reportconsidered

11.8 In terms of the Mediators’ Report it will be noted that:

11.8.1 The Mediators were appointed during 2006, to mediate the dispute that had arisen between the companies;

11.8.2 After considering the voluminous documentation, various reports, engaging with the companies and in particular board members, the financial directors of the companies, the forensic investigators and lawyers, the Mediators issued a statement on 28 February 2007 followed by an explanatory note thereto (copies of which are available for inspection in terms of paragraph 39 below);

11.8.3 By way of their statement, the Mediators recommended that a merger between the companies be pursued. The Mediators were subsequently approached by the companies to furnish an opinion on the terms of the share swap arrangement then being proposed by the directors of the companies in order to effect a merger;

11.8.4 In considering the matter at the time of their April 2008 opinion, the Mediators contend that they were subject to a number of constraints, inter alia, the background to the dispute related to the misuse of assets (belonging to R&E) by Kebble and others, a significant portion of which accrued to the benefit of the JCI group; the financial records of the R&E group and JCI group were in some respects incomplete; past financial statements appeared to have been materially misstated; KPMG were unable to audit the financial positions of the companies and could only provide limited assurances in respect of certain aspects thereof; prior to Kebble’s death, certain arrangements were concluded between JCI and Investec providing, inter alia, for a profit share to be paid to Investec (the arrangement pertaining thereto being the subject of then unresolved litigation regarding its validity and enforceability); at April 2008 there were certain directors who served on both of the boards of R&E and JCI (one of whom was Nurek, an employee of Investec) and potential conflicts of interest had to be considered by the Mediators. In addition, the Mediators could not verify the accuracy of any of the information provided by any of the directors or the auditors and relied on that information in arriving at their expressed opinion;

Page 43: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

41

11.8.5 On 14 April 2008, the Mediators issued an opinion that “In the unusual and variable circumstances enumerated above, the swap ratio proposed by the companies is in our opinion commercially prudent and not inequitable to the shareholders of R&E and JCI.” In arriving at their assessment, the Mediators had regard, inter alia, to the financial position of each of the companies at 31 March 2007; the subsequent changes in the financial position of the companies between March 2007 and 31 July 2007; the potential outcomes of the dispute regarding the Investec loan facility; the quantum of the sustainable R&E claims against JCI; the probable value which would be lost in a litigation scenario and the costs associated therewith; the fact that any settlement proposal which left no value for JCI shareholders would, from JCI’s perspective be unrealistic and a poor alternative to litigation, (irrespective of its probable outcome); the swap ratio was sensitive to relatively small changes in the NAV’s of the companies and dependent on market prices of certain investments held by the companies, including the possible value of the Investec claim by JCI and the indicative range of settlement values referred to in the Mediators’ February 2007 Statement. (The further factors which the Mediators took into account were set out in the then Mediators’ Report, a copy of which is available for inspection as set out in paragraph 39 of this Circular.);

11.8.6 In October 2008, the Mediators were requested to advise whether the opinion issued by them on 14 April 2008 still applied “in the significantly changed financial circumstances of R&E and JCI since issuing that opinion”. The Mediators issued an opinion on 3 November 2008 that having regard to the various circumstances “our 14 April 2008 opinion remains of application.”;

11.8.7 In reaching their conclusion, as set out in paragraph 11.8.6 above, the Mediators drew attention to the fact, inter alia, that various delays were encountered by the companies in finalising the revised Settlement terms, namely, the failure of the proposed merger; R&E and JCI unsuccessfully attempted to negotiate a settlement of their dispute on the basis of a payment by JCI to R&E; the asset values of both R&E and JCI had reduced materially, primarily as a consequence of the dramatic fall in stock exchange prices; certain of the assets were realised and in the case of JCI exchanged for further shares in R&E (thus increasing the extent of the cross-holdings of shares between JCI and R&E); R&E had recently proceeded with the third party claims and changes to the board of directors of R&E and JCI had resulted in the elimination of certain of the potential conflicts of interest which previously existed (although a director of JCI was at that stage also a director of Investec);

11.8.8 Given the failure of the proposed merger contemplated between R&E and JCI, and the conclusion of the revised Settlement Agreement, the Mediators were again approached by the Boards of both R&E and JCI to provide an opinion as to the proposed settlement between R&E and JCI;

11.8.9 In assessing the revised Settlement Agreement the Mediators had regard to, inter alia, the financial position of the JCI group at 31 December 2009, the protracted period over which future litigation/arbitration might run, the likely costs involved and the inherent uncertainty of the outcome; the Mediators view that the sustainable claims of R&E against JCI are likely to run into amounts that might well exceed the net asset value of JCI; the fact that a protracted litigation/arbitration between R&E and JCI followed by possible liquidation proceedings is commercially and practically unattractive and will be value destructive for both sets of shareholders and that valuable management time will be sterilised in the process; the estimated amount that R&E would receive in the event of liquidation relative to the Rand value of the settlement; the fact that any settlement which leaves no value for JCI shareholders would be unrealistic and may, persuade JCI, to entertain such litigation, irrespective of the outcome, the negative effects on shareholder value of the continued share suspension and ongoing uncertainty and the cross-holding that presently exists between R&E and JCI (the companies hold shares in each other); the fair net asset value of JCI is dependent, inter alia, on the market prices of certain investments held by JCI, which have been variable over time and the fact that no exact settlement figure can be calculated due to inherent uncertainties involved.

11.9 A copy of the full Mediators’ Report is annexed to this Circular as Annexure 1. The curricula vitae of the Mediators are contained in Annexure 4 hereto.

11.10 The previous Mediators’ Reports are available for inspection in terms of paragraph 39 below.

Thefairnessopinionconsidered

11.11 On 28 April 2010, the independent expert issued a fairness opinion, in which they opined that the FSD excussion was fair to R&E shareholders. A copy of the full independent expert opinion is annexed to this Circular as Annexure 23 and is available for inspection in terms of paragraph 39 below.

12. THE PROSPECTS OF SUCCESS OF R&E’S CLAIMS

12.1 R&E’s legal team were instructed to formulate the R&E claims with reference to the findings of JLMC, the forensic reports and the input of various witnesses. R&E’s Counsel have furnished an opinion to R&E in terms whereof (on the basis of their analysis of the forensic reports and witnesses interviewed) they indicate that in their view, a reasonable prospect of success exists in respect of R&E’s claims, subject to the qualifications as more fully set out in the formal opinion by R&E’s Counsel which is attached to this Circular as Annexure 3 (R&E’s Senior Counsel’s Opinion on claims made by R&E).

42

12.2 Shareholders are reminded that in June 2008, Cohen was appointed by R&E and JCI to provide a “prima facie assessment” of, inter alia, the R&E claims. Based on a consideration of the information, pleadings and submissions in respect thereof, Cohen expressed a prima facie view in regard to the values of such claims (which at that stage comprised 15 in number), “that the total of the values assessed …… is R1 892 085 155.00.” Cohen went on to state (with reference to an amount of R208 142 593.00 in respect of an alleged payment made by CMMS on behalf of R&E that “it seems to me prima facie that JCI is entitled to set-off the amount of R208 142 593.00 against the assessed claims totalling R1 892 085 155.00, resulting in a net liability of R1 683 942 562.00 by JCI to Randgold”. Cohen’s view did not amount to a legal opinion on the merits of R&E’s claims.

13. EFFECT OF THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT ON THE FATE OF THE R&E CLAIMS

13.1 Subject to the fulfilment of the suspensive conditions of the revised Settlement Agreement and following the transfer of the settlement GFI shares and the new JCI shares to R&E, the capital distribution of such settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders and the unbundling of R&E’s entire shareholding in JCI to R&E shareholders;

13.1.1 the R&E group will have no further claims against the JCI group or any of the directors and officers of the JCI group in connection with R&E’s claims;

13.1.2 the JCI group only will be released from R&E’s claims;

13.1.3 the JCI group will have no further claims against the R&E group or any of the directors and officers of the R&E group in connection with JCI’s claims;

13.1.4 the R&E group only will be released from JCI’s claims.

13.2 No admission of liability or any concessions are made by the JCI group in respect of R&E’s claims or by the R&E group in relation to JCI’s claims.

14. THE LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT

A Litigation Settlement Agreement was concluded between R&E, JCI, Letseng, Hawkhurst, Investec, Investec PLC, JCIIF, Discus, Global, Latitude, Holdings and Azalia on 22 January 2010, the salient details of which are set out below. It must be noted that the Litigation Settlement Agreement and the revised Settlement Agreement are separate agreements. The implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement will enable JCIIF to deliver the settlement GFI shares to R&E as contemplated in terms of the revised Settlement Agreement.

Shareholders are informed that R&E has no relationship with Letseng and Hawkhurst, save to the extent that they are parties to the Litigation Settlement Agreement. R&E is the largest creditor in the insolvent estate of BNC, and in terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement has procured that the liquidators of BNC waive all existing and future legal claims against Letseng and Hawkhurst as set out in clause 14.2.5 below.

Letseng is the registered owner of 212 165 328 ordinary shares and Hawkhurst is the registered owner of 177 455 684 ordinary shares in the issued ordinary share capital of JCI.

On 8 March 2010, the shareholders of JCI voted in favour of the payment of the Investec Raising Fee to Investec and the Letseng Indemnity Costs to Letseng, in consequence of which the Litigation Settlement Agreement has become unconditional.

Final implementation of the Litigation Settlement Agreement remains outstanding but is expected to be fully implemented by the effective date of the revised Settlement Agreement.

14.1 Purpose of the Litigation Settlement Agreement

14.1.1 The directors of JCI established that in order to resolve the deadlock situation and in order to put themselves in a position to fully control their own assets and to settle the R&E claims they had to resolve the following:

14.1.1.1 Firstly, the payment or settlement of the Investec Raising Fee, as Investec would not release the security assets held in terms of the Investec Loan Facility until the Investec Raising Fee was either paid or settled. Release of this security was required to enable JCI to release all security assets as defined in the revised Settlement Agreement.

14.1.1.2 Secondly, the Letseng Application prevented the Investec Raising Fee from being paid until the Letseng Application was either withdrawn or settled.

14.1.1.3 Thirdly, Letseng would not withdraw or settle the Letseng Application until it received the Letseng Indemnity Costs.

Page 45: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

43

14.1.2 Had the Litigation Disputes continued unresolved, the parties thereto would have faced costly and time-consuming litigation, causing a further erosion of shareholder value and a further delay in commencing the process of enabling JCI shareholders to access such value as remains.

14.1.4 Accordingly, the Litigation Settlement Agreement was entered into by the parties to the Litigation Settlement Agreement.

14.2 Salient terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement

Details of the Litigation Settlement Agreement are contained in a circular to JCI shareholders, dated 19 February 2010. A summary of the salient terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement follows. A copy of the Litigation Settlement Agreement is available for inspection as set out in paragraph 39 below. For an appreciation of the full terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement, shareholders should read the agreement in its entirety.

14.2.1 Fullandfinalsettlement

The Litigation Settlement Agreement and the payments to be made in terms thereof constitute a full and final resolution of the Litigation Disputes (which includes the Designated Actions).

14.2.2 LetsengIndemnityPayment

14.2.3 PaymenttoInvestecoftheLoanSettlementFee

14.2.3.1 Following the Litigation Settlement Agreement having become unconditional on the effective date of the Litigation Settlement Agreement, in settlement of the Investec Raising Fee, JCI became obliged to pay to Investec an amount of R267 500 000, in respect of which arrangements are being made to give effect hereto. In order to enable JCI to make payment, should JCI not have the requisite cash, Investec shall release the security assets held in security for the Investec Loan Agreement for the sole purpose of those assets being realised and the proceeds of such realisation being applied in the payment of the Loan Settlement Fee. Interest on any amount outstanding after the effective date of the Litigation Settlement Agreement shall be payable at the SAFEX Call Rate until date of payment.

14.2.3.2 Immediately after receiving payment, Investec shall release all JCI and JCIIF’s security assets held as security under the Investec Loan Agreement.

14.2.4 Letseng shall transfer 42 000 ordinary shares in the share capital of RGR to R&E. (On 26 April 2010, the 42 000 RGR shares were transferred to R&E.)

14.2.5 R&E, in its capacity as the largest creditor of BNC procured that BNC waive any and all claims, actions, proceedings and/or enquiries of BNC against Hawkhurst and undertook not to institute, at any point in the future, any claims, actions proceedings and/or enquiries on behalf of BNC against each of Letseng, Global, Discus, Latitude, Azalia and/or Hawkhurst, the cause of action of which arose before the Signature Date of the Litigation Settlement Agreement, or in circumstances which arose after the Signature Date of the Litigation Settlement Agreement in respect of transactions, dealings, conduct and/or acts or omissions which arose prior to the Signature Date of the Litigation Settlement Agreement.

14.2.6 The remaining terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement are set out therein and in a circular to JCI shareholders dated 19 February 2010, copies whereof are available for inspection as set out in paragraph 39 below. This Circular is not intended to detail all of the terms of the Litigation Settlement Agreement nor to be an exhaustive summary thereof.

14.3 Effective date of the Litigation Settlement Agreement

The effective date of the Litigation Settlement Agreement is 9 March 2010.

15. IMPACT OF THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT AND LITIGATION SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT ON RECOVERIES AGAINST THIRD PARTIES AND SETTLEMENTS CONCLUDED BETWEEN R&E AND THIRD PARTIES POST THE NEWLY CONSTITUTED BOARD OF R&E

15.1 As already mentioned, R&E has formulated a number of claims against third parties, namely the third party claims. These claims are detailed in Annexure 9 to this Circular, being R&E’s Litigation Statement.

15.2 Whilst litigation is by its very nature uncertain, it is not possible to determine either whether R&E will meet with success against the third parties or whether such third parties will be able to satisfy any judgment which may be awarded against them. Any recovery which R&E may make against these parties would be for the benefit of R&E and its shareholders only.

16.1 JSE approval

The JSE has granted approval for the re-listing of all of the ordinary shares in the issued share capital of R&E on the main board of the JSE in the “Mining” sector of the JSE list under the abbreviated name “Randgold” and share code “RNG” with commencement of trade on or about Friday, 4 June 2010. Such re-listing will occur irrespective of whether the proposed settlement is effected or not.

Shareholders are referred to the Revised Listing Particulars (Annexure 22), that are incorporated with this Circular for further details and all required disclosures regarding the re-listing of R&E.

16.2 No action required from existing R&E shareholders on re-listing

16.2.1 No action is required from shareholders on the re-listing of R&E.

16.2.2 Upon the re-listing of the ordinary shares of R&E, the existing share certificates which have been issued to certificated shareholders shall remain the valid documents of title. Certificated shareholders who wish to trade their R&E shares on the JSE following the re-listing, must have their share certificates dematerialised before they can trade such shares in electronic form.

16.2.3 The shares of dematerialised shareholders will be reflected as freely tradeable in their accounts with their CSDPs or brokers, as the case may be, on re-listing.

17. FUTURE STRATEGY OF R&E (AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES, INCLUDING FSD) AND JCI POST THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PROPOSED SETTLEMENT, THE FSD ExCUSSION AND RE-LISTING

17.1 R&E continues to operate as an investment and exploration company in the gold mining sector, while the recovery of misappropriated assets remains a high priority. Management accordingly continues to strike a balance between investing in litigation and preserving and growing current assets.

17.2 The Company is managed by a small but skilled and committed team that endeavors at all times to contain operating expenses.

17.3 As set out in paragraph 5.7.2 above, in the opinion of the present Board, any increase in value beyond the current NAV of R&E will be largely dependent on R&E’s ability to prove and extract value from its civil claims and in particular upon the implementation of the revised Settlement Agreement, or failing such implementation, its ability to prove its claims against JCI.

17.4 R&E’s legal team were instructed to formulate the R&E claims with reference to the findings of JLMC, the forensic reports and the input of various witnesses. R&E’s Counsel have furnished an opinion to R&E in terms whereof (on the basis of their analysis of the forensic reports and witnesses interviewed) they indicate that in their view, a reasonable prospect of success exists in respect of the R&E claims, subject to the qualifications as more fully set out in the formal opinion by R&E’s Counsel attached to the Circular as Annexure 3.

17.5 R&E was historically a mining investment company. R&E’s main objective at present is to resolve the current impasse with JCI, in respect of which R&E has lodged the R&E claims against JCI amounting to approximately R19 billion based on the highest value thereof up to 31 December 2009.

17.6 Subsequent to the proposed settlement and the FSD excussion being implemented, R&E’s strategic objectives (including that of FSD) are as follows:

• To seek commercial opportunities and to successfully exploit them for the benefit of R&E and its shareholders;

• To utilise its assets as leverage to further develop other assets or acquire and invest in assets to grow the current portfolio;

• To continue pursuing its claims against third parties and where possible to make recoveries against such parties; and

• To realise value (insofar as is possible) from the existing prospecting rights portfolio.

17.7 Further to 17.6 above and more specifically, R&E, will, in the following 12 to 18 months:

17.7.1 be assessing various options at its disposal regarding its existing prospecting rights (which are valued in terms of the CPR’s provided, in excess of R 300 million), which will include further exploration, joint ventures with strategic players or disposal (where the other opportunities have no long term viability), and other mining related opportunities. Depending on the market conditions the prospecting rights can yield as much as the values included in the CPR’s but have to be developed

Page 47: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

45

over a long period and as such the income to be generated in the short term cannot be reflected with any degree of certainty. R&E has sufficient cash resources (approximately R450 million of free cash or liquid resources) to perform further feasibility studies where necessary with a view to prospect or mine such rights further, or acquire further rights;

17.7.1.1 more specifically with respect to the existing prospecting rights held and as further set out in paragraph 4.1.4:

• In respect of the Kameelhoek Project (CPR value of approximately R22 million), R&E is carrying out prospecting work and will seek to carry out feasibility studies with a view of entering into arrangements with adjacent project owners.

• In respect of the Weltevreden and Jeanette Project ( combined CPR value of between R19 million and R49 million), R&E will seek to carry out feasibility studies with a view to prospecting further and/or entering into joint venture agreements with appropriate parties to prospect or mine. R&E has also applied at the DMR for additional prospecting rights to add onto these projects, which applications have been accepted by the DMR. Although in the early stages the grant of such prospecting right will serve to bolster R&E’s exposure to gold ounces.

• R&E will carry out further drilling in respect of the Du Preez Leger Project with a view to enhancing the value further. Once completed, R&E may elect to prospect further, mine and/or elect to dispose of such right (disposal is the less preferable option and will only be undertaken if the costs of prospecting/mining further do not outweigh the potential benefit that R&E shareholders can derive from such right). The current CPR valuation range, as set out in Annexure 10, is between R154 million to R252 million, reflecting approximately 9 million ounces of gold); and

• R&E will seek to enhance the value of the Doornbosch prospecting right (CPR value of between R2million and R20 million) as the resource estimate may prove to be beneficial. R&E have entered into negotiations with various parties, to seek to prospect or mine such such right further, but there can be no guarantee that they will be successful. To the extent that the negotiations fail, R&E will explore other opportunities to extract further value from this right held;

17.7.2 look to acquire further prospecting rights should the opportunity arise. R&E, will post the implementation of the proposed settlement, have largely resolved the major outstanding issues and as such the board of R&E is focused on enhancing value for shareholders by seeking out viable opportunities in the exploration and mining sector. The board has already instructed the executive management team to investigate various potential transactions and obtain options for the Company to expand its foothold in the resources industry. The board believes that the strong cash position that R&E is in (approximately R 450 million of free cash or liquid resources), puts R&E in a strong position to be a significant player in the resources sector; and

17.7.3 review its legal claims against 3rd parties with a view to make recoveries against third parties. The income to be recorded in the next 12 to 18 months in respect of such recoveries are uncertain, but the prospect of success in some outstanding 3rd party claims remains intact.

17.8 Following the implementation of the proposed settlement and the transfer of the 6 690 610 FSD shares to R&E by JCI Gold, JCI’s future strategy will include the following:

• Dealing with JCI’s major asset, being its controlling interest in Boschendal, as more fully disclosed in the JCI group NAV statement set out in Annexure 13. The directors are actively pursuing the development of Boschendal and the enhancement of the value of JCI’s investment therein.

• JCI is in the course of preparing annual financial statements for the financial years ended 2005 to 2010 inclusive. Once these have been finalised, they will be reported to shareholders and an annual general meeting of shareholders called, one of the purposes of which will be to approve the annual financial statements and to transact the business normal for an annual general meeting. At or before the holding of this meeting, shareholders will be advised of the directors’ plans for the future direction of the company.

18. OPINIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE R&E BOARD

18.1 The Board of R&E has considered the terms and conditions of the proposed settlement, and specifically the recommendation of the Mediators as set out in paragraph 11 above insofar as the proposed settlement is concerned. The board members unanimously support the proposed settlement and are of the opinion that the terms thereof are fair and reasonable and in the interests of R&E shareholders given the current circumstances of R&E and JCI.

18.2 The Board of R&E has considered the terms and conditions of the FSD excussion, and specifically the fairness opinion provided by the independent expert as set out in Annexure 23, the details of which are set out in paragraph 11 above insofar as the FSD excussion is concerned. The board members unanimously support the FSD excussion and are of the opinion that the terms thereof are fair and in the interests of R&E shareholders.

Salient notes and assumptions:

1. The “Before” EPS and HEPS have been extracted without adjustment from the audited consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 December 2009.

2. The “Before” NAV and NTAV per share have been extracted without adjustment from the notes to consolidated annual financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2009.

3. The “After FSD excussion” EPS, HEPS, NAV per share and NTAV per share have been adjusted to include the effects of the FSD excussion which would increase only the profit attributable to R&E shareholders.

4. The “After FSD excussion and settlement” EPS, HEPS, NAV per share and NTAV per share have been adjusted to include the FSD excussion referred to in note 3 above, the proposed settlement of 6 051 632 settlement GFI shares and 1 555 710 222 new JCI shares issued to R&E.

5. The “After FSD excussion, settlement, capital distribution and unbundling” EPS , HEPS, NAV per share and NTAV per share have been adjusted to include the FSD excussion referred to in note 3 above, the proposed settlement referred to in note 4 above and incorporating the capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares to R&E shareholders and the distribution and unbundling of the JCI shares to R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholdings.

6. Transaction costs of R4.61 million have been adjusted for.

For the avoidance of doubt, shareholders are reminded that the pro forma financial effects as set out above are based on the audited consolidated annual financial statements of R&E at 31 December 2009. Such audited consolidated annual financial statements have accounted for R&E’s investment in JCI at cost less impairments. The Mediators, in formulating their opinion regarding the revised Settlement Agreement, have also considered, inter alia, the unaudited NAV of R&E in which R&E’s investment in JCI was valued based on the published NAV of JCI at 31 December 2009, as reflected in Annexure 13 to this Circular, the pre-distribution effect of the proposed settlement and the effect of the cross holding between R&E and JCI (which affects the NAV of both companies). The Mediators Report is attached as Annexure 1, further details of which are referred to in paragraph 11 of this Circular.

23. DIVIDEND POLICY

For information regarding the Company’s dividend policy, shareholders are referred to paragraph 5.1 of the Revised Listing Particulars, contained in Annexure 22 of this Circular.

28. DIRECTORS’ INTERESTS AND DEALINGS

R&E directors’ interests in R&E:

28.1R&Edirectors’interestsinR&Esharesbeforeandaftertheproposedsettlement

As at the last practicable date, no directors held any beneficial or non-beneficial interest, either in the past nor as at the last practicable date, whether directly or indirectly, in R&E shares nor will any such directors hold any such interests post the implementation of the proposed settlement. Accordingly, there has been no change in the directors’ interests in R&E shares nor will there be any such change post the implementation of the proposed settlement between the end of the preceding financial year and the last practicable date.

28.2R&Edirectors’interestsinR&Etransactions

Save as set out in paragraphs 28.1, none of the directors have any material direct or indirect beneficial interests in any transactions which were effected by R&E during:

• the current or immediately preceding financial year; or

• an earlier financial year and which remain in any respect outstanding or unperformed.

JCI directors’ interests in JCI:

28.3 JCIdirector’sinterestsinsecurities

At the last practicable date, LA Maxwell held 100 JCI shares directly and beneficially. No other directors of JCI held any beneficial or non-beneficial interest, whether directly or indirectly, in JCI shares. There has been no change in the JCI directors’ interests in JCI shares at the last practicable date.

28.4 JCIdirectors’interestsintransactions

None of the directors have any direct or indirect beneficial interest in any transaction effected by JCI either during the current or immediately preceding financial year or during an earlier financial year that remains in any respect outstanding or unperformed.

29. WORKING CAPITAL STATEMENT

29.1 The Board of R&E is of the opinion that the working capital resources of R&E and its subsidiaries are sufficient for the R&E group’s (including FSD) current working capital requirements and will be adequate for a period of 12 months from the date of this Circular following the completion of the proposed settlement and the FSD excussion in its entirety.

30. LITIGATION STATEMENT

30.1 Other than as disclosed in Annexure 9 in respect of R&E, there are no legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings that are pending or threatened) in relation to R&E and its subsidiaries (including FSD), of which the Board of R&E is aware which may have, or have had, a material effect on the R&E group’s financial position during the past 12 months preceding the date of this Circular.

30.2 Other than as disclosed in Annexure 20 in respect of JCI, there are no legal or arbitration proceedings (including any such proceedings that are pending or threatened) in relation to JCI of which the Board of R&E is aware which may have, or have had, a material effect on the JCI group’s financial position during the past 12 months preceding the date of this Circular.

53

30.3 R&E is currently in negotiations with SARS in regard to various historic tax issues of the group.

SARS has firstly queried R&E’s original 1998 – 2001 assessments in relation to foreign exchange gains and losses that were made. Subsequently SARS issued revised assessments which resulted in an additional tax liability of R19.2 million in the hands of R&E. SARS and R&E are at a very advanced stage in settling this matter.

In addition, R&E has also objected to the 2003 assessment that was raised by SARS in circumstances where the assessment was based on incorrect information which resulted in an additional tax liability of R10.3 million. R&E has and will continue to challenge this assessment as raised by SARS based on the fact that the information supplied to SARS was incorrect and fraudulent. It should be noted that, if the argument of R&E is not accepted by SARS, it could infringe on future tax periods which will include related group companies.

The objections which were raised by R&E and its subsidiaries have all been reviewed by various independent legal and tax consultants. In view of the fact that these issues are under dispute and that management believes that the amounts concerned are not payable, no additional tax liability has been raised by R&E. This is consistent with R&E’s published and audited annual financial statements.

31. DIRECTORS’ RESPONSIBILITY STATEMENT

31.1 The current Board of R&E cannot provide any assurances as to the correctness of the historical facts and allegations and financial information contained in this Circular which relates to the period preceding the reconstitution of the Board of R&E on 24 August 2005. Subject to the content of the Forward-Looking Statement (which features at page 4 of this Circular), the current directors (whose names are specified on page 20 of this Circular), collectively and individually accept full responsibility for the accuracy of the information furnished relating to the R&E group, and certify that to the best of their knowledge and belief, that there are no facts which have been omitted which would make any statement false or misleading, and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts have been made, and that this Circular contains all information required by law and the JSE Listings Requirements.

31.2 Similarly, the current Board of JCI, which is responsible for and has prepared Annexures 13 and 21 as well as the JCI Litigation Statement (Annexure 20 to this Circular ) only, has, not provided any assurances as to the correctness of the historical facts and allegations and financial information pertaining to JCI contained in this Circular which relates to the period preceding the reconstitution of the Board of JCI on 24 August 2005. Subject to the content of the Forward-Looking Statement (which features at page 4 of this Circular), the current Board of JCI has however, collectively and individually accepted full responsibility for the accuracy of the information furnished in respect of Annexure 13, 20 and 21 only, and has certified that to the best of their knowledge and belief, there are no facts which have been omitted which would make any statement included in such Annexures 13, 20 and 21 false or misleading, and that all reasonable enquiries to ascertain such facts as they regarded as necessary have been made and that the aforementioned Annexures 13, 20 and 21 contain as much of the information required by law and the JSE Listings Requirements. R&E shareholders must under no circumstances construe the reference to JCI and/or the current Board of JCI in either this section or with reference to the aforementioned annexures as a representation or indication that the Board of R&E has in any way assisted in the compilation of those documents or verified such facts or is in any way agreeable to carrying responsibility therefor. Accordingly, such information including that contained in the aforementioned annexures is disclaimed.

The exchange offer or business combination contemplated herein is made for the securities of a non-US company. The offer is subject to the disclosure requirements of a country outside the US that are different from those of the United States. Financial statements included in this document, if any, have been prepared in accordance with non-US accounting standards that may not be comparable to the financial statements of United States companies.

It may be difficult for you to enforce your rights and any claim you may have arising under the US federal securities laws, since the issuer is located outside the US, and none of its officers or directors are US residents. You may not be able to sue a non-US company or its officers or directors in a non-US court for violations of the US securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a non-US company and its affiliates to subject themselves to a US court’s judgment.

You should be aware that the issuer may purchase securities otherwise than under the exchange offer, such as in open market or privately negotiated purchases.

Neither the US Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of the new securities to be distributed and transferred by R&E to R&E shareholders in the proposed settlement, or expressed a view as to whether to vote for or against the proposed settlement, or determined if this Circular is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offence.

On 24 March 2008, the US Securities and Exchange Commission issued an Order pursuant to Section 12(j) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, pursuant to which the registration of R&E’s ordinary shares and ADRs in the United States was revoked. As a result of the Order by the US Securities and Exchange Commission, no member of a US national securities exchange, US broker, or US dealer may make use of the mails or any means or instrumentality of US interstate commerce to effect any transaction in, or to induce the purchase or sale of, R&E’s ordinary shares and ADRs in the United States. The effect of this order is to prohibit trading in R&E’s Ordinary Shares and ADRs in the United States. See paragraph 4.6.2 of the Revised Listing Particulars, attached as Annexure 22 to this Circular.

Notes:

1 R&E’s main claim is based on the highest price at which the shares referred to in column I have traded subsequent to their alleged theft and

prior to 3 August 2006 when R&E’s Statement of Claim was served, (save for claims 10,11,12 and 13 which are treated on the basis

described in footnote 7 hereof).

2 For illustrative purposes R&E’s main claims have been adjusted to take account of the highest price at which the shares referred to in column

I have traded subsequent to their alleged theft but prior to 28 February 2010.

3 The first alternative to R&E’s main claim is for an order that JCI deliver to it the number of shares allegedly misappropriated/issued for no

value received. For illustrative purposes the March 2007 VWAP of the shares referred to in column I has been utilised for purposes of

determining the replacement cost of the shares referred to, save for where a contrary footnote indicates otherwise.

4 The second alternative to R&E’s main claim is for an order that JCI return to R&E the proceeds resulting from the sales of the various shares

referred to in column I, where this has been ascertained.

Page 77: Share code: RNG (suspended) ISIN: ZAE000008819 CIRCULAR TO ... · ADR holders are entitled, to the United States Depositary who will deal therewith in accordance with the laws governing

75

5 The third alternative to R&E’s main claim is for an order that JCI makes payment to R&E of such amounts as were allegedly received by JCI

on account of the sale of the shares referred to in column I, for which there was no just cause, where this has been ascertained.

6 Claim 5 is an alternative claim to Claim 4 and is based on a Scrip Lending Agreement ostensibly concluded, the details of such claim being

set out in the Overview of the R&E Claims. To avoid duplication no amounts have been included above.

7 For illustrative purposes R&E’s main claims have been adjusted to take account of the projected post settlement NAV per R&E share of R6.67

as detailed in the Circular.

8 Having regard to the fact that this claim was introduced in September 2008, the value thereof has been determined with reference to the

highest price at which the shares in question traded subsequent to their alleged theft but prior to 28 February 2010, being R0.90.

9 On 19 January 2007, Western Areas was converted to Gold Fields Operations, in consequence of which conversion, every shareholder

holding 100 Western Areas shares received 35 Gold Fields Limited shares in replacement thereof. In consequence of the said conversion,

the 28 000 Western Areas shares are currently equivalent to 9 800 Gold Fields Limited shares. A value of R174.40 per Gold Fields share is

ascribed to each Gold Fields share for illustrative purposes.

10 R&E’s claim herein is not prefaced on the basis of a theft of shares, but rather on the basis of monies allegedly lent and advanced by R&E to

CMMS.

11 R&E’s 19th claim is in the alternative to claims 1 to 18 above and is based on the assumption that R&E does not in respect of claims 1 to 9

and 14 to 17 establish the schemes therein referred to and the thefts allegedly committed in respect thereof; and on the further basis that

the transactions referred to are found to be lawful and regular transactions in consequence of which the sale of the assets referred to is found

to have been authorised for the benefit of the JCI group.

It should be noted that the values of the above claims are linked to the price of shares which are subject to ongoing fluctuation. In tandem therewith,

the claim values may change. Moreover none of such claims and the values thereof have yet been established as a matter of fact or law, all of which are

illustrative in nature and subject to change.

ANNEXURE 3

R&E’S SENIOR cOUNSEL’S OPINION ON cLAIMS MADE BY R&E

INTRODUcTION

1. WehavebeenrequestedtoconsiderandprovideourviewsinrespectoftheprospectsofsuccessenjoyedbyRandgoldinitsvariousclaimsagainstJCI.

2. TheRandgoldlegalteamwasinstructedtoformulateclaimsagainstJCI,havingregardinter aliato:

2.1 thefindingsofRandgold’sForensicInvestigators,UmbonoFinancialAdvisoryServices(Pty)Limited(“Umbono”);

2.2 theseriesofForensicReportspreparedbyUmbono;and

2.3 thecontributionsofvariouswitnesses,(theco-operationofwhichhadbeensecuredbyRandgold’sexecutive).

3. InformulatingtheRandgoldclaimsagainstJCI,Randgold’slegalteamwasinstructedtoassertthestrongestpossiblecaseforRandgoldagainstJCI.

4. Wedirectspecificattentiontothefollowing:

4.1 In accordance with the Mediation/Arbitration Agreement concluded on the 7th of April 2006 (“the Mediation Agreement”),bothRandgoldandJCIwereobligedintermsthereof,toeachindependentlyprepareaForensicReportrelevanttotheirfindingsinrespectofeachofRandgoldandJCIseparately,andtothereafterexchangesuchReportsinaccordancewiththeprovisionsofclause7oftheMediationAgreement;

4.2 On20June2006,andataformalmeetingheldatthechambersofFarberS.C.,RandgoldandJCI’slegalrepresentativesexchangedthesaidReports;

4.3 TheJCIReportbears thedateof8May2006 (“the 8th of May Report”),whilst thatofRandgoldbears thedateof20June2006;

4.4 ConsequentupontheexchangeoftheaforesaidForensicReports,Randgold’slegalteamproceededinaccordancewithits instructions,toformulatetheclaimsenjoyedbyRandgoldagainstJCI,andwhichfoundexpressioninRandgold’sStatementofClaim;

4.5 Randgold’sStatementofClaimwasservedonJCIon3August2006;

4.6 ConsequentuponthepreparationoftheStatementofClaim,JCIservedafurtherForensicReportwhichwaspreparedbyKPMG(“the further JCI Report”),althoughthiswasnotcontemplatedundertheMediationAgreement;

4.7 ThefurtherJCIReportconstitutesacritiqueoftheclaimsprofferedbyRandgoldinitsStatementofClaimagainstJCI;

4.8 WenotethattheforensicfindingsofUmbono(onthestrengthinter aliaofwhichRandgold’sclaimswereformulated),appeartobeechoedinthe8thofMayReport;

4.9 Thereappearsfurther,toexistsubstantialparitybetweentheForensicReportbyUmbonoandthe8thofMayReportbyJCI;

4.10 WearefortifiedinourevaluationoftheprospectsofsuccessinrespectoftheclaimbyRandgoldagainstJCI,bytheapparentdisparitybetweenthe8thofMayReportandthefurtherJCIReport.

5. Weinvitespecificattentiontothefollowingexcerptsfromthe8thofMayReportwhichappeartobelargelycongruentwithandtolendcredencetothebasisuponwhichtheRandgoldclaimshavebeenformulated:

5.1 Atpage1ofthe8thofMayReport,thefollowingappears:

“The strategy adopted by the Directors and Officers of JCI Limited and its subsidiaries required access to significant funding for the execution of such strategy. We noted that JCI Limited had little access to funding and we understand that the Group did not enjoy support from financial institutions, save for the event of the Investec UK transaction, which generated funding to JCI Limited…..”

86

5.2 Atpage78andatlines6to7,thefollowingisstated:

“We found no evidence indicating that JCI Limited and its subsidiaries, particularly CMMS, owned any RRL shares.”

5.2.1Page81andatlines12to14thefollowingisstated:

“DependingonthenatureofthetransactionunderlyingthesaleofsuchRRLsharesintheAlibipropstransactions,CMMSanditsfellowsubsidiariesappeartoeitherhaveanobligationtoreturn1916652RRLshares(duetheretothat theAlibiprops transactionwasperformedprior to thesplitof theRRLshares) toRRH, inaddition to thosementionedabove,ortorepaythemonetarybenefitobtained.”

5.3 Atpage83andatlines1to3thefollowingisrecorded:

“Assuming a share price of USD 17 for RRL shares and a R/USD exchange rate of some R6.38, an amount of R1 809 849 677.24 would then have been required to fund the return of the RRL shares sold to RRH.”

5.4 Atpage105andatlines4to6,thefollowingisstated:

“These facts are indicative of the following elements of the relationship between JCI Limited and REC as a result of the transactions mentioned at 7.2 supra:

• JCI Limited used the resources of RRH for its own benefit; and

• The executors of the transactions did not want to disclose such fact.”

5.5 Atpage135atlines13to21,thefollowingisstated:

“We have indicated supra that the obligation to return RRL shares to RRH rests upon JCI Limited, due to an unauthorised appropriation thereof, the Investec UK structure and due to it having benefited from the sale of RRL shares in the Alibiprops account. As some 16 686 794 RRL shares have to be returned in this manner and would need to be purchased, the cost to JCI Limited could be some R1 809 849 677.24, provided an RRL share price of USD17 and a Rand/USD exchange rate of some R6.38. If the Settlement Agreement can be interpreted to mean that the obligation of JCI Limited in this regard is limited to R500 million, it means that an effective write off of some 12 076 800 RRL shares of RRH have been achieved, once again protecting JCI Limited against a claim of RRH.”

6. ItwouldappearthatJCIhasadoptedastanceinthefurtherJCIReportatvariancewiththestanceadoptedinthe8thofMayReport.Thisapparentchangeinstanceandthereasonsgivingrisetheretowillbefullyventilatedshouldthematterproceedtoarbitration.

Notes and assumptions

1. Extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of R&E for the year ended 31 December 2009.

2. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income has been prepared on the basis that the proposed settlement and

the FSD excussion were effected in its entirety on 1 January 2009.

3. In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, R&E will receive 6 051 632 Gold Fields shares from JCI and JCIIF. The market value of the Gold

Fields shares at 1 January 2009 is R91.90 per share.

4. In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, JCI will issue 1 555 710 220 new JCI shares to R&E as part of the proposed settlement. The net

asset value per JCI share, which was determined by using JCI’s NAV at 31 December 2009 (which is included in Annexure 13) and adjusting for

the effects of the settlement, equates to 19.78 cents per share. This is the best estimate of fair value per share available.

5. The recoveries have no tax effect as they are off-set against calculated tax losses from prior years.

6. The transactions costs for the proposed settlement, excluding VAT where applicable, for R&E are estimated at R4.6 million.

7. In terms of the FSD excussion, R&E had a loan receivable from JCI Gold, which amounted to R207.5 million at 31 December 2009 in terms

of the R&E Loan Agreement and FSD Loan Agreement. The said loan was secured by a pledge of shares in FSD as set out in the Pledge

Agreement. On 11 January 2010, (being the due date of the loan), JCI Gold was unable to re-pay the outstanding loan due to R&E of

R161 960 265, and on 14 January 2010, R&E exercised a portion of its security, and as a result became the beneficial owner of a further

6 690 610 FSD shares, increasing its equity shareholding in FSD by 30.1% to 85.21%. This would have the impact of increasing the profit

attributable to the owners of the company as a result of the increase in R&E’s share of FSD’s profits.

Notes and assumptions

1. Extracted from the audited consolidated financial statements of R&E for the year ended 31 December 2009.

2. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statement of financial position has been prepared on the basis that the proposed settlement and related

capital distribution and unbundling and the FSD excussion were effected in its entirety on 31 December 2009.

3. In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, R&E will receive 6 051 632 Gold Fields shares from JCI and JCIIF. The market value of the Gold

Fields shares at 31 December 2009 is R97.98 per share.

4. In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, JCI will issue 1 555 710 220 new JCI shares to R&E as part of the proposed settlement. The net

asset value per JCI share, which was determined by using JCI’s NAV for 31 December 2009 (included in Annexure 13) and adjusting for the

effects of the settlement, equates to 19.78 cents per share. This is the best estimate of fair value per share available.

5. In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, R&E shall distribute by way of a capital distribution out of share premium, the settlement GFI

shares, i.e. 6 051 632 Gold Fields shares, to R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholding in R&E, further details of which are

set out in the Table of Entitlements attached as Annexure 12 to this Circular.

6. In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, R&E shall distribute by way of an unbundling in terms of Section 46 of the Income Tax Act, the

new JCI shares to R&E shareholders in proportion to their respective shareholding in R&E, further details of which are set out in the Table of

Entitlements attached as Annexure 12 to this Circular

7. In addition to the revised Settlement Agreement, R&E has elected to distribute by way of an unbundling in terms of Section 46 of the Income Tax

Act, the remaining JCI shares held by R&E, i.e. 305 186 049 JCI, shares to R&E shareholders. The average cost of JCI shares held amounted to

15.62 cents per existing JCI share. The two tranches of shares are shown separately for illustrative purposes only, but in fact form part of a single

transaction.

8. The recoveries have no tax effect as they are off-set against calculated tax losses from prior years.

9. The capital distribution of the settlement GFI shares (as a dividend in specie) has no STC implications as such distribution has been made out of

share premium.

10. In terms of the FSD excussion, R&E had a loan receivable from JCI Gold, which amounted to R207.5 million at 31 December 2009 in terms of

the R&E Loan Agreement and FSD Loan Agreement. The said loan was secured by a pledge of shares in FSD as set out in the Pledge

Agreement. On 11 January 2010, the due date of the loan, JCI Gold was unable to repay the outstanding loan due to R&E of R161 960 265,

and on 14 January 2010, R&E exercised a portion this security, and as a result became the owner of a further 6,690,610 FSD shares, increasing

its equity shareholding in FSD by 30.1% to 85.21%. This had the impact of decreasing the loan receivable from JCI Gold as recorded on the

statement of financial position at 31 December 2009.

11. The transaction costs for the proposed settlement, excluding VAT where applicable, for R&E are estimated at R4.6 million.

Notes and Assumptions:

1. The “Before the settlement” column of the table is based on the JCI NAV statement as at 31 December 2009 as published on SENS simultaneously

with this announcement. It must be noted in this respect that the JCI NaV statement as set out makes no provision for the r&E claims,

which are the subject of the settlement, and the “Before the settlement” column is misleading in that respect.

2. The “After the settlement” column of the table is calculated using the following assumptions:

• the issue of 1 555 710 220 new JCI ordinary shares in terms of the Settlement Agreement announced on 28 January 2010;

• the transfer of 6 051 632 shares in Goldfields to R&E in terms of the Settlement Agreement announced on 28 January 2010;

• The immediate distribution by R&E of the above items.

The NAV and net tangible asset value were calculated on the assumption that the settlement was effective as at 31 December 2009.

No other material events occurred subsequent to 31 December 2009 other than those disclosed elsewhere in the Group NAV Statement.

“19. ENCUMBRANCES

Except as noted above in the notes, no significant assets havebeen encumberedor pledgedother than thosedisclosedelsewhereintheGroupNAVStatement.

NOTES AND ASSUMPTIONS TO THE UNAUDITED Pro forma FINANCIAL EFFECTS AT 31 DECEMBER 2009

1. The “Before the settlement” column of the table is based on the JCI NAV statement as at 31 December 2009 as published on SENS. It must

be noted in this respect that the JCI NaV statement as set out makes no provision for the r&E claims and the “Before the settlement”

column is misleading in that respect.

2. The pro forma effects take into account the 6 051 632 Goldfield shares given up as part of the settlement and the receipt of 699 891 Goldfield

shares as a distribution from R&E at VWAP of R106.1138.

3. The pro forma effects take into account a change in R&E NAV per share at 31 December 2009 as communicated by R&E management of

R8.1160 to a recalculated R&E pro forma NAV per share of R7.2661.

4. The pro forma effects take into account the 6 690 610 FSD shares excussed in terms of the FSD excussion by R&E as part settlement of the

loan by R&E to JCI group. The shares were excussed at a value of R161 960 000

5. The pro forma effects take into account the R10 625 000 of transaction costs.

6. The pro forma effects take into account the 1 555 710 220 New JCI shares allotted and issued to R&E as part of the settlement.

7. The pro forma effects take into account the 305 186 049 JCI shares currently owned by R&E and to be distributed by them.

8. The pro forma effects take into account the 1 555 710 220 New JCI shares issued to R&E and then immediately distributed by R&E. This results

in 179 923 059 New JCI shares being returned to the JCI group.

9. As the JCI Group NAV statement is at fair value there would be no pro forma adjustment to the income statement for the movement of assets

as part of the settlement, there will be loss of income, of the approximate dividend of R1.10 per year per Gold Fields share, which amounts to

R5 886 915.”

Valuation

MooreStephensCorporateFinanceperformedavaluationofFSDtodeterminethevalueofthedisposalshares.

TheprimaryvaluationmethodologyemployedtovalueFSDwastheNetAssetsvaluationmethodology.However,thevaluesoftheFSDmineralassetswasassessedbasedontheapproachesprescribedintheSouthAfricanCodefortheReportingofExplorationResults,MineralResourcesandMineralreserves(“theSAMRECcode”)andtheSouthAfricanCodefortheReportingofMineralAssetValuation(“theSAMVALcode”).

FSD’s mineral assets comprise exploration properties in the Free State Province. There are two generally accepted valuationapproachesusedinthevaluationofexplorationproperties:

• Costapproach;and

• Marketorcomparativevaluemethod

We applied the standard comparative value method to FSD’s mineral assets to establish the upper valuation range for FSD.
