Carel AT Smit (61)

Refer to p4.

Reason for and effect of ordinary resolutions number 3.1 to 3.4

The members of the Audit Committee have been nominated by the Board for election as members of this Committee in terms of section 94(2) of the Companies Act.

The Board reviewed the proposed composition of the Audit Committee against the requirements of the Companies Act and its Regulations, and confirmed that the Committee will comply with the relevant requirements and have the necessary knowledge, skills and experience to enable it to perform its duties in terms of the Companies Act if all the individuals referred to above are elected and re-elected and Mr Smit is appointed as an additional member of the Audit Committee, subject to the approval of ordinary resolution number 2.2 above.

Ordinary resolution number 4

Approval for the issue of authorised but unissued ordinary shares

"Resolved that, as required by the Company's MoI, and subject to the provisions of section 41 of the Companies Act and the requirements of any recognised stock exchange on which the shares in the capital of the Company may from time to time be listed, the directors are authorised, as they in their discretion think fit to allot and issue or grant options over shares representing not more than 5% (five percent) of the number of 895,024,247 ordinary shares in the issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this notice, constituting 44,751,212 ordinary shares (for which purposes any shares approved to be allotted and issued by the Company in terms of any share plan or incentive scheme for the benefit of employees shall be excluded) and such authority will endure until the next AGM of the Company (whereupon this authority shall lapse unless it is renewed at the aforementioned AGM)."

Reason for and effect of ordinary resolution number 4

In terms of the Company's MoI, read with the JSE Listings Requirements, the shareholders of the Company may authorise the directors to, inter alia, issue any unissued ordinary shares and/or grant options over them as the directors in their discretion think fit.

The existing authority granted by the shareholders at the previous AGM is proposed to be renewed at this AGM. The authority will be subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the JSE Listings Requirements. The aggregate number of ordinary shares capable of being allotted and issued in terms of this resolution, other than in terms of the Company's share or other employee incentive schemes, shall be limited to 5% (five percent) of the number of ordinary shares in issue as at the date of this notice (constituting 44,751,212 ordinary shares).

The directors decided to seek annual renewal of this authority in accordance with best practice. The directors have no current plans to make use of this authority but wish to ensure that, by having it in place, the Company has some flexibility to take advantage of any business opportunities that may arise in the future.

Ordinary resolution number 5.1 and 5.2

Advisory endorsement of the Remuneration Policy 5.1 "Resolved to endorse, through a non-binding advisory vote, the Company's Remuneration

Policy (excluding the remuneration of the NEDs for their services as directors and members of the Board or statutory committees), as set out in the Remuneration Report contained in the Governance and Remuneration Report."

Advisory endorsement of the Remuneration Implementation Report 5.2 "Resolved to endorse, through a non-binding advisory vote, the Company's Remuneration

Implementation Report, as set out in the Remuneration Report contained in the Governance and Remuneration Report."

Reason for and effect of ordinary resolutions number 5.1 and 5.2

In terms of the King IV Report on Corporate Governance for South Africa, 2016 (King IV)*, shareholders of the Company are provided with an opportunity to pass non-binding advisory votes on the Remuneration Policy and the remuneration implementation report. The vote allows shareholders to express their views on the remuneration policies adopted and the implementation thereof, but will not be binding on the Company.

* Copyright and trademarks are owned by the Institute of Directors in South Africa NPC and all of its rights are reserved

In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, an ordinary resolution supported by a 75% (seventy-five percent) majority of the votes exercised by all equity security holders present or represented by proxy at the AGM is required to approve this resolution. Since this is the Company's threshold for special resolutions, the resolution is instead proposed as a special resolution.

Furthermore, the JSE Listings Requirements and King IV recommend that the Remuneration Policy should record the measures that the Board commits to if either the Remuneration Policy or the Remuneration Implementation Report, or both, have been voted against by 25% or more of the voting rights exercised by its shareholders. Gold Fields will engage with stakeholders should our Remuneration Policy or the Remuneration Implementation Report, or both, receive less than the required 75% votes in favour.

Note: Special resolutions

For each special resolution to be adopted, the support of 75% (seventy-five percent) of the total number of voting rights exercised on the special resolution is required.

Special resolution number 1

Approval for the issuing of equity securities for cash

"Resolved that, subject to the passing of ordinary resolution number 4, the directors are authorised until the next AGM (whereupon this authority shall lapse unless it is renewed at the aforementioned AGM), provided that it shall not extend beyond 15 (fifteen) months of the date of this AGM, to allot and issue ordinary shares for cash, subject to the Companies Act and the JSE Listings Requirements, on the following basis:

• (i) The allotment and issue of ordinary shares for cash shall be made only to persons qualifying as public shareholders as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements and not to related parties

• (ii) Ordinary shares, which are the subject of general issues for cash, in the aggregate, may not exceed 5% (five percent) of the Company's relevant number of ordinary shares in issue as at the date of this notice, constituting 44,751,212 ordinary shares

• (iii) Any number of ordinary shares issued under this authority must be deducted from the number of ordinary shares authorised to be issued in terms of ordinary resolution number 4

• (iv) The maximum discount at which ordinary shares may be issued is 10% (ten percent) of the weighted average traded price on the JSE of such ordinary shares over the 30 (thirty) business days prior to the date that the price of the issue is determined or agreed by the directors of the Company

• (v) The Company shall publish such announcements (if any) as may be required by the JSE Listings Requirements pursuant to the issue of shares under this authority"

Reason for and effect of special resolution number 1

In terms of ordinary resolution number 4, the shareholders authorise the directors to allot and issue a portion of the authorised but unissued shares as the directors in their discretion think fit.

In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, when shares are issued, or considered to be issued, for cash (including the extinction of liability, obligation or commitment, restraint or settlement of expenses), the shareholders must authorise such issue with a 75% (seventy-five percent) majority of votes cast in favour of the resolution.
