Dr Phumla Mnganga

This is my first year as chairperson of the remuneration committee and I believe that we have made meaningful progress on our reward journey to ensure that remuneration is managed in a fair and responsible way and in support of our Sustainable Growth and Impact strategy. We continued to listen to and seek feedback from shareholders and our broader stakeholder group. During the year under review, I have observed how Exxaro has engaged with complex remuneration matters and demonstrated a genuine intent to comply with generally accepted remuneration practices and do what is right for all stakeholders. While unprecedented events over the last two years have had a significant impact on our country, our business and our employees, we remain optimistic about our journey ahead.

The remuneration committee continues to support the board in executing its fiduciary mandate and duties. Through the committee, the board ensures that Exxaro adopts remuneration policies and practices that enable the sustainable execution of our group strategy. The committee regularly reviews the group's remuneration policies to ensure that the design and management of remuneration practices enable the company to attract and retain top talent, motivate continued high performance and promote fairness and equity. The committee also ensures transparency and disclosure to enable our stakeholders to reasonably assess the effectiveness of our remuneration practices and governance processes. This report provides more detail on our remuneration practices including our remuneration policy. The committee complied with the provisions of the King IV guidance on remuneration governance and the JSE Listings Requirements. The committee is pleased to provide its report for the year ended 31 December 2022.

Chairperson's background statement

The report that follows represents activities undertaken by the remuneration committee and business during 2022. The key themes that were addressed included:

  • Shareholder engagement
  • Fair and responsible pay
  • The ongoing refinement of the STI scheme
  • Cennergi Holdings Proprietary Limited incentive schemes
  • Performance achievement, recognition and policy update

Shareholder engagement

In line with our philosophy of proactive engagement, Exxaro embarked on a governance roadshow in September 2022 which entailed active engagement with our shareholders. The key themes raised by our shareholders included queries around the targets and disclosure period of the STI, the link between the LTI and STI schemes and strategy, and the capital allocation risk in respect of the dividend payments given the higher coal prices. The general message from the roadshow was a request for improved disclosure on remuneration matters. Shareholders expressed gratitude for the opportunity to engage on issues of governance and indicated that the "governance roadshow provides a safe space to have difficult conversations". We responded to shareholders' concerns by providing more information on the remuneration philosophy, policy and practices that were implemented effective 1 January 2022. Shareholder considerations and recommendations were addressed in terms of understanding the STI structure, which includes ESG factors, malus and clawback, and MSRs for management. The governance roadshow was a success based on the feedback received during and after investor meetings.

At the AGM held on 25 May 2022, shareholders again provided strong approval on the remuneration policy and how it was applied and implemented, with 94% in approval of the policy and its implementation.

Fair and responsible pay

Fair pay remains a commitment as one of the critical success factors aligned to our diversity, equity and inclusion strategy. Salary increases awarded to executive, management and specialist categories have been adjusted with due consideration of the consumer price index and market trends. Subsequent to the annual salary review process, the remuneration committee approved an additional mandate to close remuneration disparities in line with our remuneration principles of pay for performance and benchmarking all employees at the median of their grade and job family. It is pleasing to report that all guaranteed pay anomalies were closed after the horizontal analysis was done as part of a fair pay exercise and there is no unfair discrimination on the basis of race and gender.

Salary increases awarded to employees within the bargaining unit were once again higher than executive, management and specialist category employees as we continued to seek justifiable measures to reduce the wage gap.

STI schemes

The GIS rewards the achievement of annual goals, which are aligned to the medium and longer-term business strategy. All participants receive payments that reflect annual achievements. The GIS is paid out at certain levels twice a year. The HY1 payout process and the change and communication roll-out were successfully executed and well received within the group. The ESG targets were embedded as part of our new STI schemes.

The LOS production scheme is anchored in the operations and fully supported by both unions and employees. Grootegeluk and Matla employees are highly engaged and aligned to the achievement of their business targets. These BUs have been consistent in achieving their monthly and quarterly targets. Belfast has been achieving its targets on an intermittent basis while Leeuwpan has not always been successful in achieving its month-on-month and quarterly targets.

Energy business incentive schemes

The STI and LTI for Cennergi Holdings were developed during the year under review and approved by the remuneration committee in 2022. The STI and LTI principles and design support the growth trajectory of Cennergi and the timing anticipated to deliver on this growth profile. They also take into consideration the underlying volatility associated with Cennergi's value creation strategy relative to Exxaro and other energy industry peers. The re-pacing strategy for the energy business, which resulted in a reduction of the gigawatts target and the need for a holistic capital allocation view across Exxaro, led to further design changes to the LTI. The rules were since finalised and approved in line with the design changes.

The STI is aimed at incentivising participants over the short term using a scorecard comprising annual and milestone-based targets. The STI is settled annually based on the achievement against the scorecard. The scorecard is updated on an annual basis to ensure that it supports the Cennergi strategy.

The LTI consists of a bonus matching incentive, which makes up 20% of the LTI, and a value appreciation rights plan (VARP), which makes up 80% of the LTI. Cennergi employees will also receive a once-off VARP allocation. The payout of the VARP is linked to the growth in the enterprise value of Cennergi over the performance period. The VARP allocation percentage was calibrated to be 80% of the on-target LTI allocation of the participants to take into consideration the potential value of the matching incentive, which represents the other 20% of the LTI. The matching scheme was introduced to ensure that Cennergi participants have some alignment with the group and our future performance. The rand value of the STI outcome will be matched in Exxaro shares.

Performance achievement and recognition

Performance achievement, previously known as performance management, was developed and implemented as part of our employee offering and in support of the culture development of Exxaro. In 2022, we continued with change management processes aimed at embedding the principles of performance achievement and aligned to pay for performance. To support the embedment process, a simplified performance achievement system was developed to transact on the performance and rewarding of individuals, teams and business.

Recognition continues to be an integral part of our total rewards offering and our rewards value proposition, with informal and formal recognition being encouraged to drive the appropriate behaviours to achieve our business objectives. We have also developed and approved the parental leave policy aligned to our diversity, equity and inclusion strategic objective on gender equity, which is a further enhancement on our employer value offering.

Independent remuneration advisers

The company continues to seek independent and professional advice on remuneration matters from consultants regarded by the committee as fully independent. We have consulted PricewaterhouseCoopers, Remchannel and Willis Towers Watson on matters around remuneration, Africa People Advisory Group and Vasdex Associates on the STI and LOS schemes, Employment Conditions Abroad on expatriate policy and remuneration, and Korn Ferry on matters on job and role families.

2023 focus areas

The remuneration policy will evolve as we continue to embed the new schemes and simplify our processes. A significant focus for 2023 will be to create a plan to narrow the wage gap, in consultation with key stakeholders.

Wage gap

We are committed to addressing the wage gap and establishing key principles on how this is to be done. It is understood that meaningful conversation, in-depth analysis and stakeholder engagement are a must to understand and explore the complexity of the subject. As such, we have developed a wage gap roadmap that includes critical milestones that will be achieved in a collaborative manner, aligned to our purpose. Phase 1 of this journey includes identifying and developing structures and mobilising resources. Phase 2 envisages crafting Exxaro's statement of intent and defining principles that will guide the design of our approach and our interventions. Phase 3 includes developing a project plan with clear milestones and performing the calculations using multiple methodologies. The proposed interventions to help narrow the wage gap will also be tabled for consideration. Lastly, a review of the existing remuneration policy and philosophy will be undertaken to determine the extent to which they support this important piece of work. Communication, change management, reporting and a continuous review of our processes should enable us to continue with our commitment towards ensuring that we pay all employees equitably and in a manner that enables them to effectively participate in the economy. This work should also help ensure that we are ready to comply with pay-equity-related disclosures per the proposals in the Companies Amendment Bill, and is part of creating sustainable value in line with our ESG objectives.

Policy statement

This remuneration report provides an overview of organisation-wide remuneration with an emphasis on the remuneration structure for the Exxaro executive and non-executive directors. There were no policy exceptions during the year and the committee is satisfied that the remuneration policy achieved its stated objectives.

I would like to thank the board, the committee members, our advisers and management for their support and efforts during the year. We look forward to your support at the upcoming AGM.

Remuneration committee chairperson

Remuneration policy

Introduction

This section provides a broad overview of the remuneration philosophy, principles and policies applicable to the various remuneration elements in terms of the different employee categories, including executive directors, prescribed officers, senior management and, on a high level, other employees.

Remuneration philosophy

Our remuneration philosophy underpins our group strategy and enables us to achieve our business objectives. Our commitment to pay for performance in alignment with shareholder value creation drives all remuneration activities and continues to deliver a sound value proposition to employees while aligned to our culture and values.

Empower

We strive to attract, retain, and empower the best talent to achieve our strategy and create sustainable shareholder value.

Remuneration principles

The vision for reward and remuneration is to provide simple, integrated, holistic solutions, common messages and transparency, and a package differentiated from the market for us to attract, retain and energise talented, high-performing people as our employee offering.

We understand that remuneration is critical in attracting and retaining high-performing individuals. As such, the committee firmly supports the principle that pay must be aimed at reinforcing, encouraging and promoting superior performance. We believe in ethical, fair and responsible remuneration principles, and this belief continues to guide our policies directed at different remuneration elements in our remuneration framework.

Remunaration principles

Remuneration offering

The table below shows the remuneration offering used to reward employee categories in a fair and equitable manner. The policy provides for an annual assessment of the remuneration offering and consideration of any appropriate actions such as differentiating annual adjustments. In addition, the principles of internal parity, reward for performance and market competitiveness apply. These principles facilitate fair and responsible remuneration.

Total guaranteed remuneration

The policy regarding the setting of fixed pay at Exxaro is to:

  • Benchmark using established industry remuneration surveys on an annual basis with a combination of job families and grades to anchor external benchmark jobs for comparison
  • Position total guaranteed remuneration around the median of the external benchmark jobs
  • Use mining industry peers to compare Paterson grade E and below roles specific to the mining industry
  • Use a combination of national remuneration surveys in South Africa for local roles at executive management and some senior management levels that are not specific to the mining industry
  • Consider the outcome of the individual performance contract in the annual NCOE salary review process - a three score (on a five-point rating scale) warrants positioning around the median of the benchmark for the job

NCOE

NCOE is the guaranteed remuneration portion of total pay and includes basic salary, benefits and retirement funding.

Basic salary

All bargaining unit employees receive a market-related basic salary, complemented by guaranteed allowances (housing and commuting), variable allowances (shift and standby) as well as benefits (see full list of benefits below).

Benefits

All employees are entitled to the same range of benefits appropriate to their role level and specific circumstances. Management and specialist employees have flexibility in structuring their remuneration within certain company and legislative limitations. During the year, no changes were made to the policies for medical, health and other benefits, except for the medical aid scheme changes as described below.

Retirement fund Medical health schemes Group personal accident cover EAP

All employees are members of one of Exxaro's accredited retirement funds. Retirement fund contributions are determined by specific conditions of employment and for the different levels and categories of employees.

Employees may annually elect to belong to any of the accredited medical schemes as they apply to the relevant employees. Contributions are made by employer and employee. Exxaro does not provide any post-retirement medical benefits. The post-retirement benefit obligation disclosed in the annual financial statements recognises past practice (by Eyesizwe) that was discontinued with the creation of Exxaro in November 2006.

Employees are beneficiaries of a policy that provides additional cover for death, disability and dread disease through group personal cover taken out by Exxaro.

As part of our wellness offering, the EAP offers support in multiple ways including but not limited to legal, financial and substance abuse assistance.

Variable pay

STI schemes

The STI schemes focus on annually contributing to the strategic goals and delivering on our operational and financial objectives in the shorter term. We have two STI scheme structures, namely the GIS and LOS/Matla line of sight incentive (MLOSI) schemes. 

GIS/LOS/MLOSI salient features

Name of STI GIS LOS and MLOSI schemes
Participants

All executive to middle management level employees (FU to DM Paterson) in the group/operations functions as well as employees in group functions (DL Paterson and below).

The participants in these schemes include permanent employees in roles graded at and below DL Paterson, based at the operations. They do not participate in the GIS.

Type of scheme and frequency of payment

Formulaically calculated cash bonus, paid annually. Based on a target STI quantum per grade, adjusted for personal and business performance.

In the case of Paterson D band and below participants, an interim payment reflective of the business performance portion only may be made at the half-year mark. This will be offset against the resultant annual payment due.

The schemes incentivise participants to deliver safe, quality production volumes on a monthly and quarterly basis. The schemes provide line of sight to predetermined production volumes at each of the relevant BUs.

Apportionment

80% to business performance, of which 75% is apportioned to finance, strategic and operational goals, while 25% is apportioned to ESG goals. 20% to individual performance1 based on the individual performance achievement process, rated on a five-point rating scale. The year-to-date rating will translate to a portion allocated to individual performance.

Safety and quality criteria, together with shifts at work, modify the primary potential payment.

Maximum
achievable

150% of the targeted STI quantum.

Gatekeepers

Where the personal score is below a three rating, the percentage score also modifies the respective business performance outcome(s), effectively further reducing the individual's STI portion from business performance.

Business
scorecard

See GIS business scorecard goals and weight table below.

1 A small number of bargaining unit employees do not have individual performance contracts and thus will have STIs based 100% on business performance.

The business scorecards embed the business priorities appropriately at Exxaro group, group functional and operational levels. The table below provides an overview of the goals and relative impact they have on the potential outcome of each business scorecard.

LTI scheme

Our LTIs consist of two schemes, the LTIP and DBP schemes, which align remuneration with longer-term shareholder expectations and outcomes.

We make general share awards to participants (Paterson D middle and above) during the year in terms of the LTIP and the DBP schemes. Our ESOP (called GreenShare) was introduced in July 2020 and is applicable to employees not participating in the LTI scheme.

LTIP

The committee makes annual conditional performance awards that are subject to the achievement of performance targets and employees remaining in employment for three years (full vesting period).

The face value of the allocations depends on the employee's NCOE and a grade-specific percentage. The committee evaluates the achievement of the performance conditions biannually. The awards will only vest after three years. The percentage of awards that ultimately vest ranges between a median threshold (50%) and a maximum (100%). A linear sliding scale is used to calculate a proportional vesting for an actual performance result between threshold and maximum. For any actual performance below threshold, no awards will vest and for any performance at or exceeding the maximum, the awards that will vest are capped at 100%.

ROCE condition

The ROCE condition had a weighting condition of 33.33%.

The ROCE calculation will be based on net operating profit plus income from non-equity-accounted investments plus income from equity-accounted investments, as a percentage of average capital employed.

Therefore, a sliding scale based on a percentage ROCE achievement will apply as follows:

  • 17% ROCE achievement will result in 50% vesting
  • 19% ROCE achievement will result in 90% vesting
  • 22% ROCE achievement will result in 100% vesting

The ROCE will be calculated as the arithmetic average of the three years constituting the performance period.

Total shareholder return (TSR) condition

Relative TSR has a weighting of 33.33% and will be compared to performance against the TSR peer group. Energy representation was included in the peer group.

The peer group components and weighting of each will be as follows:

Peer group entities Weighting
JSE RESI 10 70%
Energy peer group 15%
Thungela 15%
100%

Exxaro's TSR, for the purposes of this plan, is defined as the compound annual growth rate on a portfolio of Exxaro's ordinary shares purchased in December preceding the grant, holding the shares and reinvesting the dividends received from the portfolio in Exxaro shares until the end of the performance period, and then selling the portfolio on that day.

The monthly TSR calculation will be performed using the dividend payments and Reuters share price data on the nearest trading day to 31 December preceding the award and the nearest trading day to 31 December at the end of the three-year performance period and computing the compound annual growth rate between these dates. Furthermore, in order to ensure that the growth rate calculated in this way is not unduly skewed by fluctuations at the start date and the end date of the measurement period, the three-year period is staggered over a six-month period commencing six months before the award date, such that the final computed growth rate is the average of six three-year periods, commencing six months before the award date and ending on the final date of the three-year performance period.

If the TSR of Exxaro over the three-year period is equal to the median TSR target, then 50% of the TSR portion of the grant will vest.

If the TSR of Exxaro is equal to or greater than the maximum TSR target, then 100% of the TSR portion of the grant will vest.

Achievement of ESG targets

ESG targets have a weighting of 33.34%. The targets will be measured in terms of the approved strategic dashboard used to monitor achievement of the business strategy:

  • The targets will be measured as per the FTSE Russell index including international resource peer companies
  • A 50% to 100% vesting sliding scale will apply for an annual ESG rating between the median percentile ranking (50% vesting) and the upper quartile percentile ranking (100%)
  • The average performance over the three-year period will be measured

The table below summarises the performance vesting conditions applicable to the 2022 awards.

Performance vesting conditions

Performance vesting condition Weight (%) Vesting of awards (after year three)
ROCE 33.33 17% ROCE achievement will result in 50% vesting (threshold)
    19% ROCE achievement will result in 90% vesting (target)
    22% ROCE achievement will result in 100% vesting (stretch)
TSR 33.33 Median TSR peer group position will result in 50% vesting
    Top three TSR peer group position will result in 100% vesting
ESG as per FTSE Russell index 33.34 Median ranking will result in 50% vesting
    Upper quartile ranking will result in 100% vesting

Where the actual performance falls between the stated ranges, linear interpolation will be applied between the stated vesting points. The rules and calculating principles will follow the same approach as set out in detail above for future awards.

DBP

The committee selects participants, based on employee grouping and performance, from executive management and senior management to participate in the DBP. The scheme encourages share ownership while reinforcing retention.

Participants from F upper to E upper Paterson grades can elect to voluntarily use a portion (50% or 90%) and E middle (50%) of their post-tax STI payments to acquire Exxaro shares at the prevailing market price.

Participants are entitled to all rights in respect of the shares (pledged) purchased with their post-tax STI portion, including dividends. If the pledged shares are held for the three-year pledged period and participants remain in service for this period, Exxaro will provide a matching award on a one-for-one basis.

No performance vesting conditions are applicable to the matching award.

ESOP (GreenShare)

Our ESOP scheme, GreenShare, was implemented in 2020.

It is broadly based on the principles of Mining Charter III:

  • An evergreen scheme
  • Provides non-transferable carried interest (dividends) to qualifying employees
  • Employees should not carry any risks
  • For all permanent South African employees not participating in any management share scheme

When dividends are declared, employees in service will receive a cash payment equal in value to 560 Exxaro shares minus dividend withholding tax. Employees will remain in the scheme for the duration of employment. Employees will not have capital appreciation rights.

Employment contracts

Mxolisi Mgojo retired on 31 July 2022. Vanisha Balgobind and Roland Tatnall resigned during 2022.

Normal termination benefits (leave payout, etc) are payable whenever employment is terminated before the normal retirement date by Exxaro or when employees accept voluntary redundancy.

There were no other special agreements in place regarding severance packages for executive employees.

Executive employment contracts are generally valid until the normal retirement age of 63 with a notice period of three to six months or payment in lieu thereof. The current executive employment contracts do not have a restraint-of-trade clause but include confidentiality undertakings.

Any shares due in terms of participating in the LTIP and DBP are made in line with the rules of the schemes.

Good leaver provisions are triggered in the event of terminations due to:

  • Personal events such as retirement, ill health, disability or death in service. Pro-rated vesting of awards
  • Company events such as retrenchments, space creations and business divestment. Normal vesting of awards

Non-executive director remuneration

The approach of setting remuneration for external directors was approved in March last year. The methodology ensured better alignment of roles and responsibilities between the main board and sub-boards. The expected annual hours and relevant skills required for the different sub-committees were also considered and it was decided that there would be no differentiation in remuneration between the sub-committees unless significant workload differences are anticipated. This was subsequently approved at the AGM.

The non-executive directors' fees are aligned to the market 50th percentile. External benchmarking is conducted every three years. During the years where external benchmarking is not conducted, the non-executive directors' fees will be increased in line with the approved annual adjustments for management.

MSR

In line with global best practice and shareholder expectations, we adopted an MSR policy in 2021. The aim of the policy is to encourage all executives, including executive directors and prescribed officers, to acquire and hold shares in the company and to reinforce alignment between executive and shareholder interests. Prescribed officers are expected to build and maintain a company shareholding in direct proportion to their NCOE to align their interests to those of shareholders.

Within five years of the implementation date/appointment date, prescribed officers are expected to hold shares in the company with a value of two times NCOE in respect of the CEO, one and a half times NCOE in respect of the FD and one times NCOE in respect of other prescribed officers.

Role MSRs Compliance period
CEO 2 x annual NCOE Five years from date of policy implementation (or from appointment as a prescribed officer, if later)
FD 1.5 x annual NCOE
Other prescribed officers 1 x annual NCOE

Progress towards achieving the target minimum shareholding is evaluated annually. As at December 2022, the MSR status per prescribed officer is indicated in the table below:

Malus and clawback

Malus (the ability to reduce, including to zero, an award that has not yet accrued or vested to an individual) and clawback (the ability to recover/seek repayment of awards already paid or vested to the individual) remain essential features of our remuneration policy. These processes allow for the risk adjustment of awards already made and, in the case of clawback, awards already vested or paid out.

Where appropriate, the variable remuneration (STIs and LTIs) of individuals who were directly or indirectly accountable for an event may be adjusted.

When considering individual responsibility, the rationale for the implementation of malus and clawback takes a variety of factors into account, such as:

  • There has been misbehaviour or material error by a participating employee
  • Where the actions of an employee have resulted in reputational damage to the business
  • A business suffers material downturn in financial performance or a material failure of risk management
  • Awards have been based on material misstatements of the business's financial results or information arises that would have caused benefits to lapse or would have resulted in the board or remuneration committee exercising their discretion differently had the information been known at the time
  • The business has suffered a material financial loss because of actions or circumstances attributable directly to an employee or that could have been avoided by the reasonable actions of an employee
  • The board or remuneration committee, in their discretion, deem it necessary to apply malus or clawback

The GIS and share-based awards including the LTIP and DBP are subject to malus and clawback provisions enabling the remuneration committee to reduce the vesting level (including to zero) or to recover amounts already paid should this be necessary. The policy has been accepted and acknowledged by all prescribed officers. There were no events of malus or clawback during the 2022 remuneration cycle.

Malus and clawback, and MSRs have been implemented taking into consideration shareholder and stakeholder concerns raised in the roadshows in 2019.

Forward-looking remuneration policy actions for 2023

This section highlights the outlook for 2023.

Fair pay and the wage gap

Our focus on ensuring fair and responsible remuneration will continue in a more consultative way with key stakeholders. The remuneration committee and the SERC will continue to work jointly to ensure that important milestones are met and support Exxaro's diversity, equity and inclusion implementation.

Energy business

We will focus on embedding the new STI and LTI schemes for the Cennergi business to drive behaviours that will enable business growth and encourage alignment between the energy business and Exxaro.

Non-executive director remuneration

A revised non-executive director remuneration approach that looked at the equalisation of committee fees was approved in 2020. For the sub-committees, there is no differentiation in remuneration between them. The only differentiation is based on workload. The current fees payable to non-executive directors are made up of an annual retainer fee and a per-meeting fee for ad hoc or extraordinary meetings for both board and sub-committee meetings. This retainer fee is based on an assessment of normal annual board and committee workload and is paid in 12 equal monthly payments. Benchmarking is done using the Willis Towers Watson JSE-listed companies survey.

Implementation report

Introduction

Our implementation report discloses remuneration outcomes for non-executive directors, executive directors and prescribed officers. It includes total remuneration received as well as a single total figure of remuneration receivable (as per King IV) for the review period and all constituent remuneration elements.

This section reflects the implementation of the remuneration policy and provides details of the remuneration paid to executive directors and prescribed officers for the period ended 31 December 2022. This section also sets out the detail surrounding the STI and LTI payment and vesting outcomes and includes a summary overview of each executive director and prescribed officer's performance, including the single figure remuneration.

In the review period, implementation complied fully with the remuneration policy. The image below provides details on the standard performance rating scale.

Awards under the LTIP scheme

We also disclose the outcome of the 2020 (and 2019) conditional LTIP awards that vest in April 2023 (and vested in April 2022).

Of the awards made in April 2020, 98.67% vest in April 2023. A summary showing the vesting percentages by vesting condition for the awards appears in the table below.

TSR 33.33 100.00 30.00
ESG 33.34 96.00 99.62
Overall vesting 98.67 76.54

For 2022

2022 ROCE was 100%. As a stretched target >22% was calculated as the arithmetic average of the three-year performance period.
2022 TSR was 39.1% and positioned first. (Second: Impala Platinum: 34.8%; third: Glencore, 34.2%; fourth: Sibanye Stillwater: 28.8%; fifth: Goldfields: 27.6%; sixth: Northam Platinum: 27.2%; seventh: Anglo American Platinum: 26.3%; eighth: Anglo American: 25.5%; ninth: BHP Billiton: 23.0%; tenth: Sasol: 3.6% and eleventh: AngloGold Ashanti: -1.8%).
In 2022 the governance component of ESG as per the FTSE Russell index met the lower target which resulted in a 96% achievement for the portion of the awards.

For 2021

2021 HEPS was 6 860 cents per share (cps) compared to the maximum vesting (100%) required at 3 163cps.
2021 TSR was 30% and positioned seventh (first: Impala Platinum: 112%; second: Sibanye-Stillwater: 89%; third: Anglo Platinum: 67%; fourth: Gold Fields: 55%; fifth: Anglo American: 37%; sixth: AngloGold Ashanti: 31%; eighth: BHP Billiton: 26% and ninth: Sasol: -20%).
In both periods, a minimum of third position was required to vest 100% of the TSR portion of awards.
In 2021 the governance component of ESG resulted in an achievement at threshold (99.62% vesting) due to the actual portion of 99.92% over the three-year period. This results in 98.83% achievement for this portion based on the targets.
