IDENTIFICATION, PROXIES AND VOTING
Shareholders are reminded that -
a shareholder eligible to attend and vote at the annual general meeting is entitled to appoint a proxy (or
proxies) to attend, participate in and vote at the annual general meeting in place of the shareholder.
Shareholders are referred to the proxy form attached to this notice in this regard;
a proxy need not also be a shareholder of the Company;
in terms of section 63(1) of the Act, any person attending or participating in a meeting of shareholders
must present reasonably satisfactory identification and the person presiding at the general meeting must
be reasonably satisfied that the right of any person to participate in and vote (whether as shareholder or
as proxy for a shareholder) has been reasonably verified. Acceptable forms of verification include a
green bar-coded or smart card identification document issued by the South African Department of Home
Affairs, a South African driver’s licence or a valid passport; and
this notice of meeting includes the attached form of proxy.
All beneficial owners whose shares have been dematerialised through a central securities depository
participant or broker other than with ‘own name’ registration, must provide the central securities depository
participant or broker with their voting instructions in terms of their custody agreement should they wish to
vote at the annual general meeting. Alternatively, they may request the central securities depository
participant or broker to provide them with a letter of representation, in terms of their custody agreements,
should they wish to attend the annual general meeting.
Unless you advise your central securities depository participant or broker, in terms of your agreement, by
the cut-off time stipulated therein, that you wish to attend the annual general meeting or send a proxy to
represent you, your central securities depository participant or broker may assume that you do not wish to
attend the annual general meeting or send a proxy.
Forms of proxy (enclosed) must be dated and signed by the shareholder of the Company appointing a
proxy and must be received at the offices of the transfer secretaries, Link Market Services South Africa
Proprietary Limited, by no later than 11:00 (SA time) on Wednesday, 23 November 2016.
In compliance with section 58(8)(b)(i) of the Act, a summary of the rights of a shareholder to be
represented by proxy is set out immediately below:
An ordinary shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting may appoint any
individual (or individuals) as a proxy/ies to attend, participate in and vote at the annual general meeting
in the place of such shareholder. A proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company.
A proxy appointment must be in writing, dated and signed by the shareholder of the Company
appointing a proxy and, subject to the rights of a shareholder to revoke such appointment (as set out
below), remains valid only until the end of the annual general meeting.
A proxy may delegate its authority to act on behalf of a shareholder of the Company to another person,
background image
subject to any restrictions set out in the instrument appointing the proxy.
Irrespective of the form of instrument used to appoint a proxy, the appointment of a proxy is suspended
at any time and to the extent that the shareholder of the Company who appointed such proxy chooses to
act directly and in person in exercising any rights as a shareholder of the Company.
Unless the proxy appointment expressly provides otherwise, the appointment of a proxy is revocable by
the shareholder of the Company in question cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent
appointment of a proxy, and delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the
Company. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the
proxy’s authority to act on behalf of the shareholder of the Company as of the later of (a) the date stated
in the revocation instrument, if any; and (b) the date on which the revocation instrument is delivered to
the Company as required in the first sentence of this paragraph.
If the instrument appointing the proxy or proxies has been delivered to the Company, as long as that
appointment remains in effect, any notice required by the Act or the Company’s memorandum of
incorporation to be delivered by the Company to the shareholder of the Company, must be delivered by
the Company to (a) the shareholder of the Company, or (b) the proxy or proxies, if the shareholder of
the Company has (i) directed the Company to do so in writing; and (ii) paid any reasonable fee charged
by the Company for doing so.
Attention is also drawn to the notes to the form of proxy.
Completing a form of proxy does not preclude any shareholder of the Company from attending the
annual general meeting.

shareholding value (expressed in rand) equal to a minimum of 100% (one hundred percent) of such

shareholding value (“target threshold”), as follows –
4.1. for executive directors, 100% (one hundred percent) of all performance shares which vest shall be
locked-up in terms of the minimum shareholding requirement until the target threshold is reached;
and
4.2. for executive managers, 50% (fifty percent) of all performance shares which vest shall be locked-up
in terms of the minimum shareholding requirement until the target threshold is reached;
5.  the value of the locked-up performance shares is determined as at the date of lock-up by reference to
the applicable volume weighted average price of such shares. Such value is increased yearly by the
consumer price index;
6.  for every performance share that is locked-up, the Company will match the locked-up performance share
background image
with an additional performance share. A locked-up share may not be traded;
7.  once the target threshold is reached, an executive director or executive manager can continue to
voluntarily lock-up shares, subject to a maximum value of double the target threshold; and
8.  the minimum shareholding requirement ceases to apply on a fault or no fault termination but on a fault
termination, the matched shares fall away.
The Company also wishes to amend the formula applicable to determining the maximum number of
performance shares to be awarded to participants on termination of employment under the Harmony share
plan. For all awards prior to 25 November 2016, the shares are adjusted as if the group had met only the
target performance criteria or adjusted based on the actual achievement against the applicable
performance criteria as at the date of termination of employment, whichever is more favourable to the
participant. For all awards after 25 November 2016, the shares are adjusted based on the actual
achievement against the applicable performance criteria as at the date of termination of employment.
Special resolution 1: Non-executive directors’ remuneration
In terms of section 66(8) read with section 66(9) of the Act, companies may pay remuneration to directors
for their services as directors unless otherwise provided by the memorandum of incorporation and on
approval of shareholders by way of a special resolution. Executive directors are not specifically
remunerated for their services as directors but as employees of the Company and, as such, the resolution
as included in this notice requests approval only for the remuneration paid to non-executive directors for
their service as directors of the Company. The proposed fees are recommended for approval for a period of
2 (two) years from the date of this annual general meeting or until such time as the non-executive directors’
remuneration is amended by way of special resolution of shareholders, whichever comes first.
General
Shareholders and proxies attending the annual general meeting are reminded that section 63(1) of the Act
requires that reasonably satisfactory identification be presented for such shareholder or proxy to be allowed
to attend or participate in the meeting.

NOTES
1.    A form of proxy is only to be completed by those ordinary shareholders who are:
registered holders of ordinary shares in certificated form; or
holders of dematerialised shares of the Company in their own name.
2.    If you have already dematerialised your ordinary shares through a central securities depository
participant (CSDP) or broker and wish to attend the annual general meeting, you must request your
CSDP or broker to provide you with a letter of representation or instruct your CSDP or broker to vote by
proxy on your behalf in terms of the agreement entered into between yourself and your CSDP or
broker.
3.    A shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the annual general meeting may insert the name of a proxy
or the names of two or more alternate proxies of the member’s choice in the space provided, with or
without deleting “the chairman of the annual general meeting”. The person whose name stands first on
the form of proxy and who is present at the annual general meeting of shareholders will be entitled to
act as proxy to the exclusion of such proxy(ies) whose name/s follow.
4.    On a show of hands, a member of the Company present in person or by proxy will have one (1) vote
irrespective of the number of shares he/she holds or represents, provided that a proxy will, irrespective
of the number of members he/she represents, have only one (1) vote. On a poll, a member who is
present or represented by proxy will be entitled to that proportion of the total votes in the Company
which the aggregate amount of the nominal value of the shares held by him/her bears to the aggregate
amount of the nominal value of all the shares issued by the Company.
5.    A member’s instructions to the proxy must be indicated by inserting the relevant number of votes
exercisable by the member in the appropriate box. If an “X” (cross) or a tick has been inserted in one of
the blocks to a particular resolution, it will indicate the voting of all the shares held by the shareholder
concerned. Failure to comply with this will be deemed to authorise the proxy to vote or to abstain from
voting at the annual general meeting as he/she deems fit in respect of all the member’s exercisable
votes. A member or the proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the member or by the
proxy, but the total of votes cast and in respect of which abstention is recorded may not exceed the
total of votes exercisable by the member or by the proxy.
6.    Forms of proxy (enclosed) must be dated and signed by the shareholder appointing a proxy and must
be received at the offices of the transfer secretaries, Link Market Services South Africa Proprietary
Limited, 13th Floor, Rennie House, 19 Ameshoff Street, Braamfontein, Johannesburg, 2001 (PO Box
4844, Johannesburg, 2000, fax number: +27 86 674 2450, email: meetfax@linkmarketservices.co.za)
by no later than 11:00 (SA time) on Wednesday, 23 November 2016 (or 48 (forty-eight) hours before
any adjournment of the annual general meeting).
7.    Completing and lodging this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant member from attending the
annual general meeting and speaking and voting in person to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in
terms hereof.
8.    Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a
representative capacity or other legal capacity must be attached to this form of proxy, unless previously
recorded by the transfer secretaries or waived by the chairman of the annual general meeting.
9.    The completion of blank spaces overleaf need not be initialled or signed. Any alteration or correction
made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory/ies.
10.   Despite the aforegoing, the chairman of the annual general meeting may waive any formalities that
would otherwise be a prerequisite for a valid proxy.
11.   If any shares are jointly held, all joint members must sign this form of proxy. If more than one of those
members is present at the annual general meeting either in person or by proxy, the person whose
name appears first in the register will be entitled to vote.
12.   A shareholder’s authorisation to the proxy including the chairman of the annual general meeting, to
vote on such shareholder’s behalf, will be deemed to include the authority to vote on procedural
matters at the annual general meeting.

13.   The chairman of the annual general meeting may reject or accept any form of proxy which is completed
and/or received other than in compliance with the Companies Act 71 of 2008, the Company’s
memorandum of incorporation and these notes.
14.   A vote given in terms of an instrument of proxy will be valid in relation to the annual general meeting
despite the death, insanity or other legal disability of the person granting it, or the revocation of the
proxy, or the transfer of the shares in respect of which the proxy is given, unless notice on any of the
noted matters has been received by the transfer secretaries not less than 48 (forty eight) hours before
the start of the annual general meeting.
