contemplated in schedule 1, but without prejudice to any other

outstanding as at the exchange notice date as a consequence
of a breach of the provisions of 3.1.3, shall be disregarded as
an asset in the adjusted DCF of Gold Fields and shall be

comes into existence, Gold Fields shall procure that such
financial support or encumbrance (as the case may be) is

Table of Contents

limitation, by way of dividend or the repurchase of any
Gold Fields shares, other than the 98 467 758 Gold
Fields shares owned as at the signature date by Norilsk
Nickel) utilising, directly or indirectly, the proceeds of
any sale, cession or other form of disposal of any of the
capital or fixed assets (whether tangible or intangible)
of any member of the Gold Fields group or the GFI
group or any disposal by any member of the Gold
Fields group or of the GFI group of any business (or
part thereof) as a going concern or any other disposal
of assets outside the normal, ordinary and regular
course of business (other than any repurchase of the
Gold Fields shares if and to the extent that either of the
Mvela entities and/or any other member of the Mvela
Resources group thereafter, directly or indirectly,

otherwise, directly or indirectly, benefits in the
repurchase of the Gold Fields shares concerned).

	3.3.2	 	The provisions of this 3.3 and 3.4 have been agreed upon in
order to ensure that, if the GFI ordinary shares acquired by
Mvela Gold (or its rights in respect thereof) are exchanged for

Mvela will acquire on the date upon which such share
exchange is implemented (the “share exchange date”) not
less than the floor number and not more than the ceiling

12

Table of Contents

	 	 	number, which numbers shall be adjusted on the share
exchange date, if any of the provisions of this 3.3 or 3.4 are
applicable, to ensure that the respective market values thereof
at the share exchange date are such that Mvela Gold is placed
in the same financial position as it would have been in had it
owned the floor number or ceiling number (as the case may
be) on the signature date.
	 
	3.3.3	 	The following principles shall be applied in determining the
adjustments (if any) to the floor number and the ceiling
number-

	3.3.3.1	 	no adjustment will be made for changes in the market
value thereof which are attributable to general market
risk prior to the share exchange date;
	 
	3.3.3.2	 	no adjustment will be made for changes in the market
value thereof which are attributable to decisions of
Gold Fields’ management made prior to the share
exchange date;
	 
	3.3.3.3	 	adjustments will be made in the event of any
consolidation and/or subdivision of the Gold Fields
 shares and/or any other “mechanical/numerical”
changes in the share capital structure of Gold Fields
prior to the share exchange date;
	 
	3.3.3.4	 	adjustments will be made for any special distributions
declared or made prior to the share exchange date;
	 
	3.3.3.5	 	adjustments will be made to ensure that the market
value thereof on the share exchange date remains
unaffected by any prior corporate activity which Gold
Fields is subjected to or undertakes and which relates
to or affects the capital of Gold Fields, whether directly

13

Table of Contents

	 	 	or indirectly (“corporate activity”) including, but
without limitation, rights issues and third party
placements of Gold Fields shares which are made at a
discount of more than 10% to the then market value
and repurchases of Gold Fields shares (other than the
98 467 758 Gold Fields shares owned as at the
signature date by Norilsk Nickel) which are made at a
premium of more than 10% to the then market value;
and
	 
	3.3.3.6	 	any adjustment in the floor number shall result in a pro
rata adjustment to the ceiling number and vice versa.

	3.3.4	 	For the avoidance of doubt, any adjustments made pursuant to
this 3.3 and/or 3.4 shall be -

	3.3.4.1	 	made to the number of Gold Fields shares constituting
the floor number and ceiling number only (and in no
other respect); and
	 
	3.3.4.2	 	calculated and made once only, on and with effect from
the share exchange date (and no earlier or later date).

	3.3.5	 	Having regard to the preceding provisions of 3.3, but subject to
the approvals referred to in 3.6 being obtained, each of the GF
entities hereby agrees in favour of each of the Mvela entities
that the covenants agreement and the Mvela Gold subscription
agreement (and any other transaction documents, to the
extent applicable) are hereby amended to provide for the
following -

	3.3.5.1	 	if, after making any adjustments (if any), “a” is -

14

Table of Contents

	3.3.5.1.1	 	less than or equal to the floor number, the floor
number of Gold Fields shares shall be issued to
Mvela Gold under schedule 1;
	 
	3.3.5.1.2	 	greater than or equal to the ceiling number, the
ceiling number of Gold Fields shares shall be
issued to Mvela Gold under schedule 1;
	 
	3.3.5.1.3	 	greater than
the floor number and less than the
ceiling number, the number of Gold Fields
 shares to be issued to Mvela Gold under
schedule 1 shall be that number comprising “a”;

	3.3.5.2	 	if, prior to the share exchange date -

	3.3.5.2.1	 	Gold Fields issues shares credited as fully paid
to its shareholders by way of a capitalisation of
profits or reserves (including, without limitation,
any share premium, stated capital or capital
redemption reserve fund); or
	 
	3.3.5.2.2	 	there is a decrease in the nominal value of a
Gold Fields share as a result of a subdivision;
or
	 
	3.3.5.2.3	 	there is an increase in the nominal value of a
Gold Fields share as a result of a consolidation,

	 	 	then, as at the share exchange date, the floor number
and ceiling number shall be increased or decreased (as
the case may be) so as to ensure that, after the
adjustment, the floor number and the ceiling number
constitute the same respective proportions of Gold
Fields’ equity shares as the existing floor number and

15

Table of Contents

	 	 	existing ceiling number (respectively) of Gold
Fields’
equity shares prior to happening of the event;
	 
	3.3.5.3	 	if a corporate activity occurs or a special distribution is
made or declared, the following shall apply -

	3.3.5.3.1	 	the floor number and the ceiling number shall
be adjusted (if and to the extent that any of the
provisions of this 3.3 and/or 3.4.1 apply) so as
to ensure that the respective market values
thereof as at the share exchange date are equal
to the respective market values thereof prior to
the occurrence of the corporate activity or
special distribution concerned;

	3.3.5.4	 	if either Gold Fields or Mvela Resources disputes any
adjustment contemplated in this 3.3 and/or 3.4.1, then
(in the absence of any agreement in writing between
them regarding such adjustment) either of them shall
be entitled to refer that dispute for determination by an
independent merchant or investment banker of
international standing. Such independent merchant or
investment banker (“IMB”) shall be such person as is
agreed upon by Mvela Resources and Gold Fields. If
they fail to reach such agreement on the appointment
of such person within a period of forty-eight hours after
the one calling on the other to so agree, then an IMB of
international standing shall, at the request of either
Mvela Resources or Gold Fields, be selected by the
chairperson of AFSA (or his successor) within five
business days (or within such longer period as such
chairperson may reasonably require) of being
requested to do so by either Mvela Resources or Gold
Fields. Once the IMB has been selected, he shall be
appointed by Mvela Resources and Gold Fields within

16

Table of Contents

	 	 	seven days of being selected. The costs of the IMB
shall be borne equally by Mvela Resources and Gold
Fields. The IMB shall-

	3.3.5.4.1	 	act as an expert and not as arbitrator and his
determination shall be final and binding on the
parties in the absence of manifest error in
calculation and shall be carried into effect
without delay; and
	 
	3.3.5.4.2	 	have a period of fourteen days (or such longer
period as he may reasonably require) from the
date of his appointment to make his
determination.

	3.4	 	Clause 19 of the covenants agreement

	3.4.1	 	Clause 19.1.1 of the covenants agreement provides, inter alia,
that if the alternative in clause 19.1.1 is selected by Gold
Fields, Mvela Gold will acquire listed shares of the offeror or
proposer (“offeror shares”), mutatis mutandis, in accordance

	3.4.1.2.1	 	if the outside offer consideration comprises
 shares, the floor number and ceiling number of
offeror shares -

	3.4.1.2.1.1	 	as at the date of implementation of the
outside offer shall be determined by
multiplying the floor number and the
ceiling number of Gold Fields shares (as
at the date of implementation of the
outside offer) by the number of offeror
 shares offered for each Gold Fields
share under the outside offer;

subject to adjustment, mutatis mutandis,
in accordance with the provisions of 3.3;

cash, by multiplying the floor number and
ceiling number of Gold Fields shares as at the
date of implementation of the outside offer by
the cash price offered for each Gold Fields
share under the outside offer divided by the
volume weighted average price on the JSE (or
other share exchange, if the offeror’s shares are
not listed on the JSE) of a share in the offeror
for the ten trading day period immediately prior
to the date of the public announcement referred
to in clause 19.1 of the covenants agreement.

covenants agreement, the calculation of the fair market value

clause 19.1.4.1.1 of the covenants agreement shall take
account of the amendments to schedule 1 and the transaction
documents stipulated in this agreement. Accordingly and
applying, but without limiting, the requirement in clause 19.1.4
of the covenants agreement that the fair market value be
calculated taking into account the principles contained in the
valuation methodology, such fair market value shall not be -

	3.4.3.1	 	less than an amount equal to the volume weighted
average price at which a Gold Fields share traded on
the JSE during the ten trading days immediately
preceding the date of the first public announcement
referred to in clause 19.1 of the covenants agreement
