effective operational performance
– Long-term (share-based) incentives used to align the long-term interests of management with those of shareholders
and responsibly implemented to avoid exposing shareholders to unreasonable or unexpected financial impact.

ESG Full details are set out in the remuneration report in the ESG report.

ARM Treasury Investments Proprietary Limited holds R1 million (F2021: R1 million) listed preference shares.

The market value of the listed investment is determined by reference to the market share price at 30 June 2022
and 30 June 2021. Certain listed shares have been pledged as security for the ARM corporate loan which at
30 June 2022 was Rnil (F2021: Rnil) (refer note 18). The book value of the pledged shares amounts to R2 287 million
(F2021: R2 321 million).

A report on investments appears on pages 113 to 115.


1 Harmony Gold 74 665 545 shares at R51.97 per share at 30 June 2022 (30 June 2021: 74 665 545 shares at R52.76 per share).
2 Fair value based on the net asset value of the cell captive.
3 Unlisted investments subject to adjustment – Investment in Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT).

 his investment is held by ARM Coal which is a jointly controlled operation of ARM and Glencore Operations South Africa Proprietary Limited
T
(GOSA), and hence ARM’s share of the investment is recognised in the ARM group and company financial statements.
The fair value of the investment was determined by calculating the present value of the future wharfage cost savings by being a shareholder
in RBCT as opposed to the wharfage payable by non-shareholders.
The current financial year’s fair value adjustment is accounted for through profit or loss. This is a level 3 valuation in terms of IFRS 13.
The fair value is most sensitive to wharfage cost. The current RBCT valuation is based on a wharfage cost differential ranging between R44/tonne
and R49/tonne (F2021: R42/tonne and R48/tonne). If increased by 10% this would result in a R22 million (F2021: R23 million) increase in the
valuation on the RBCT investment. If decreased by 10% this would result in a R22 million (F2021: R23 million) decrease in the valuation on the RBCT
investment. The valuation is calculated based on the duration of the RBCT lease agreement with Transnet SOC Limited to 31 December 2038, using
a pre-tax discount rate of 20.8% (F2021: 19.1%).

African Rainbow Minerals

Deferred tax assets are raised only when they can be utilised against future taxable profits after taking possible
future uncertainties into account. Future taxable profits are estimated based on approved business plans which
include various estimates and assumptions regarding economic growth, interest, inflation, metal prices,
exchange rates, taxation rates and competitive forces.

A cumulative deferred tax asset for deductible temporary differences and losses of R294 million (F2021: R281 million)
at Nkomati was not raised, as it is not probable that there will be sufficient taxable profit available against which
the deductible temporary differences and losses can be utilised.

Total environmental rehabilitation obligation 1 540 1 429 1 272 1 184
The net present value of current rehabilitation
liabilities is based on discount rates taking into
consideration zero coupon swop curve rates of
between 5.9% to 9.5% (F2021: between 3.9% and
9.3%), inflation rates of approximately 5.5% and
6.3% (F2021: approximately 3.7% and 6.4%) and
life-of-mines of between one and 24 years (F2021:
one and 25 years). The South African Reserve Bank
has a long-term inflation target of between 3% and
6% (F2021: 3% and 6%). Refer note 25 for amounts
held in trust funds.

These provisions are based on estimates of cash


flows which are expected to occur at the end of
life-of-mines. These assumptions have inherent
uncertainties as they are derived from future
estimates of mining and financial parameters, such
as commodity prices, exchange rates and inflation.

29. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES continued


Loan re-measurement
ARM Coal
Included in other operating income, other operating
expenses and income/(loss) from associate are
re-measurements with no tax effect in both years
relating to the GGV and PCB loans. The gain and
loss is as a result of a re-measurement of debt
between ARM and Glencore Operations South Africa
Proprietary Limited (GOSA) and ARM Coal
Proprietary Limited.
The re-measurement adjustments are as follows:
Re-measurement gain in operating income –
ARM Coal segment 49 206 49 206
Re-measurement loss in operating expenses –
ARM Coal segment (815) – (815) –
Net re-measurement (loss)/gain – ARM Coal segment (766) 206 (766) 206
Re-measurement gain in operating income/(loss in
operating expenses) – ARM Corporate segment 443 (153) 443 (153)
Net re-measurement (loss)/gain on group profit from
operations before capital items (323) 53 (323) 53
Income from associate re-measurement (loss)/gain
on loans (refer note 9) (490) 36 – –
Net ARM Coal re-measurement (loss)/gain (813) 89 (323) 53

The re-measurements are as a result of changes in the future repayment cash flows applied to the net present
value calculations. The discount rate used in the calculation of the re-measurement is 10%. A US$1 increase in
commodity prices would decrease the re-measurement gain by Rnil (F2021: R17 million). A US$1 decrease in
commodity prices would increase the re-measurement gain by Rnil (F2021: R17 million). As the remaining liabilities
are current changes in US$1 commodity prices would be nominal. This is a level 3 valuation in terms of IFRS 13.

The group loans were repaid at 30 June 2022.

Loan re-measurement continued
Modikwa
The F2021 re-measurement loss in Modikwa
of R143 million is partially eliminated against
a re-measurement gain in ARM Corporate of
R137 million. The net re-measurement gain
attributable to ARM being R18 million.
Since the loans were repaid in F2021 there are
no further re-measurements.
The re-measurement adjustments are as follows:
– Other operating expenses increase – (6) – 137
– ARM Platinum segment (re-measurement loss) – (143) – –
– ARM Corporate segment (re-measurement gain) – 137 – 137
– Non-controlling interest – 24 – –
Net Modikwa re-measurement – 18 – 137
The re-measurements are as a result of changes in
the future repayment cash flows applied to the net
present value calculations. The discount rate used
in the calculation of the re-measurement is 5%.
This is a level 3 valuation in terms of IFRS 13.
ARM BBEE Trust1
Included in other operating income for F2022
is a re-measurement gain of R5 million
(F2021: R47 million fair value gain).
The gain is as a result of the new loans advanced
to the ARM BBEE Trust by Harmony.
The re-measurement/fair value gains are as follows:
– Other operating income increase – ARM Corporate
segment 5 47 9 –
Net ARM BBEE Trust fair value gain 5 47 9 –

29.1 Loss on derecognition of financial assets measured


at amortised cost
ARM BBEE Trust1
In F2021 company includes a loss on derecognition
of financial assets measured at amortised cost of
R363 million. The loss is as a result of the new loans
advanced to the ARM BBEE Trust by ARM which
were used to settle the old loans.

Thefair value at initial recognition is as a result of the difference in the stipulated interest rate the lender may charge in the future in the new
loan agreement and the interest rate the ARM BBEE Trust would have to pay if the loan was advanced in an open market. The discount rate
used in the calculation of the fair value is 11.69% (F2021: 9.04%).

The carrying amounts of the financial liabilities approximate their fair value.

South African mining tax is calculated based on taxable income less capital expenditure allowances.

Where there is insufficient taxable income to offset capital expenditure, the remaining balance is carried forward
as unredeemed capital expenditure.

During the 2022 budget speech held on 23 February 2022, it was announced that the corporate income tax rate
will be reduced from 28% to 27% for companies with years of assessment ending on or after 31 March 2023.
This change has affected recorded deferred tax assets and liabilities at 30 June 2022 and the standard tax rate
in the future.

34. CALCULATIONS PER SHARE


The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on basic earnings of R12 426 million (F2021: R12 626 million
basic earnings) and a weighted average of 195 899 thousand (F2021: 195 333 thousand) shares in issue during
the year.

The calculation of headline earnings per share is based on headline earnings of R11 338 million (F2021:
R13 064 million) and a weighted average of 195 899 thousand (F2021: 195 333 thousand) shares in issue
during the year.

The calculation of diluted basic earnings per share is based on basic earnings of R12 426 million (F2021:
R12 626 million basic earnings) with no reconciling items to derive at diluted earnings and a weighted
average of 196 033 thousand (F2021: 197 314 thousand) shares in issue during the year calculated as follows:

34. CALCULATIONS PER SHARE continued


ARM BBEE Trust restructuring effect on weighted and diluted average number of shares
Following the restructuring of the ARM BBEE Trust in F2016, the ARM BBEE Trust is consolidated into the
ARM consolidated financial results, as ARM controls the Trust for reporting purposes.

The consolidation of the ARM BBEE Trust results in ARM shares bought back by Opilac, a wholly owned
subsidiary of ARM, and the remaining shares owned by the Trust, reducing the number of shares used
in the calculation of headline, basic and diluted earnings per share.

The treasury shares are excluded, effectively from 22 April 2016, in the weighted average and diluted average
number of shares (refer note 17).

The number of shares in issue are, however, not affected.

Dividend per share


After the year end a dividend of 2 000 cents per share (F2021: 2 000 cents per share; F2020: 700 cents per
share) was declared which amounts to R4 493 million (F2021: R4 489 million; F2020: R1 563 million). This
dividend was declared on 1 September 2022 (F2021: 6 September 2021; F2020: 31 August 2020), before
approval of the financial statements but was not recognised as a distribution to owners during the period
to June 2022.

An interim dividend of 1 200 (1H2021: 1 000) cents per share, R2 694 million (1H 2021: R2 244 million) was
declared on 3 March 2022 (1H 2021: 3 March 2021).

38. IMPAIRMENT AND IMPAIRMENT REVERSAL


38.1 ARM Ferrous
Property, plant and equipment impairment
Khumani Mine
An impairment loss was recognised in F2022 on property, plant and equipment at Khumani for R40 million
before tax. This relates to a capital project to fill an underground cavity. The impairment loss was accounted
for due to management’s assessment of limited future economic benefits associated with the capital spend.
ARM’s attributable share of the impairment amounted to R20 million before tax of R6 million (refer note 32).
This is accounted for in the income from joint venture line in the statement of profit or loss.

Tshenolo Mining Company


An impairment loss was recognised in F2021 on property, plant and equipment for R52 million with no tax effect.
ARM’s attributable share of the impairment amounted to R26 million with no tax effect (F2020: R7 million before
tax of R2 million). The impairment loss relates to the prospecting right carried at cost in the Assmang subsidiary
company Tshenolo Mining Company which was written down to zero. This is accounted for in the income from
joint venture in the statement of profit and loss (refer note 32).
Cato Ridge Works
An impairment loss of R514 million before tax of R144 million was recognised in F2021 on property, plant and
equipment. ARM’s attributable share of the impairment loss amounted to R257 million before tax of R72 million
(refer note 32).

This impairment was due to a combination of:


• An increase in long-term manganese ore prices (market prices) (production cost)
• A decline in long-term high carbon manganese alloys prices (sales prices)
• The strengthening of the rand to the US$.

Impairment indicators were identified at the Cato Ridge Works cash-generating unit (CGU). A discounted cash
flow valuation was performed to determine the fair value less cost of disposal of the CGU. The net discounted
cash flow valuation resulted in a negative net present value (NPV), which resulted in the impairment of the total
net asset value of Cato Ridge Works. The recoverable amount of the CGU amounted to Rnil at 30 June 2021.

The level 3 valuation model was calculated using a nominal pre-tax South African discount rate of 15.89%. The
valuation period was based on two years. The short valuation period is due to the CGU generating negative cash
flows from year one in the impairment model. The recoverable amount of the CGU amounted to Rnil at 30 June 2021.

The following assumptions were used in the valuation model:

Investments
Cato Ridge Alloys
An impairment loss of R97 million with no tax effect was recognised in F2021 on Assmang’s equity-accounted
investment in Cato Ridge Alloys. ARM’s attributable share of the impairment loss amounted to R48 million with
no tax effect (refer note 32).

This impairment was due to a combination of:


• A decline in long-term medium carbon manganese alloys prices
• The strengthening of the rand against the US$.

A discounted cash flow valuation was performed to determine the fair value less cost of disposal of the
investment.

The level 3 valuation model was calculated using a nominal pre-tax South African discount rate of 15.89%.
The valuation period was based on two years. The short valuation period is due to Cato Ridge Alloys generating
losses from year one in the impairment model.

Sakura
An impairment loss of R337 million after tax was recognised in F2021 on Assmang’s equity-accounted investment,
Sakura Ferroalloys Sdh Bhd. ARM’s attributable share of the impairment loss amounted to R169 million after tax
(refer note 32).

This impairment was due to a combination of:


• A consistent decline in the long-term manganese alloys prices
• Lower sale volumes compared to prior year forecast.

A discounted cash flow valuation was performed to determine the fair value less cost of disposal of the investment.
The valuation was performed in Malaysian ringgit (MYR). The recoverable amount of the attributable investment
amounted to R200 million at 31 December 2020, with no further impairment recognised at 30 June 2021.

The level 3 valuation model was calculated over a 15-year period with no terminal value assumptions at the
end of year 15. A pre-tax Malaysian discount rate of 10.33% was used in the impairment calculation. The MYR
valuation was converted to South African rand using an exchange rate of R3.62 at 31 December 2020.

38.2 ARM Coal
Investments
Participative Coal Business (PCB)
At 30 June 2022 previous impairment losses recognised against the investment in PCB was reversed by ARM,
mainly due to an earlier than anticipated settlement of PCB loans.

A discounted cash flow valuation model was prepared to determine the net present value of the investment
in PCB. The recoverable amount of ARM’s net investment in PCB amounted to R4 450 million.

The level 3 valuation recoverable amount of the investment in the PCB cash generating unit was determined
based on the fair value less cost of disposal calculation performed in terms of IFRS.

ARM’s attributable share of the impairment reversal amounted to R1 121 million (nil tax impact) for group and
R841 million (nil tax impact) for company (refer note 9 and 32).

39. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND RISK MANAGEMENT


The group is exposed to certain financial risks in the normal course of its operations. To manage these risks, a
treasury risk management committee monitors transactions involving financial instruments. The group does not
acquire, hold or issue derivative instruments for trading purposes. The following risks are managed through the
policies adopted below:

Currency risk
The commodity market is predominantly priced in US dollars which exposes the group’s cash flows to foreign
exchange currency risks (refer note 39 for sensitivity analysis). In addition, there is currency risk on long lead-
time capital items which may be denominated in US dollars, euros or other currencies. Derivative instruments
which may be considered to hedge the position of the group against these risks include forward sale and
purchase contracts as well as forward exchange contracts. There were no derivatives taken out at year end.
The use of these derivative instruments is considered when appropriate for long lead-time capital items.

Credit risk
Credit risk arises from possible defaults on payments by business partners or bank counterparties. The group
minimises credit risk by evaluating counterparties before concluding transactions in order to ensure the
creditworthiness of such counterparties. The maximum exposure for trade receivables is the carrying
amounts disclosed in notes 7, 11 and 13. Major trade and other receivables include Impala Platinum
R3 646 million (F2021: R4 324 million), Rustenburg Platinum Mines R1 526 million (F2021: R1 755 million),
Norilsk Nickel Rnil (F2021: R67 million), Glencore Operations SA R887 million (F2021: R218 million) and

have exceptional credit ratings with the amounts distributed appropriately among these institutions to minimise
credit risk through diversification. The maximum exposure is the carrying values as per notes 8, 14 and 15.
The fair value through other comprehensive income financial asset (which is the Harmony investment)
exposure is the carrying value of this asset as per note 11.

Treasury risk management
The treasury function is outsourced to Andisa Capital Proprietary Limited (Andisa), specialists in the management
of third-party treasury operations. Together with ARM financial executives, Andisa coordinates the short-term cash
requirements in the South African domestic money market.

A treasury committee, consisting of senior managers in the company including the finance director and
representatives from Andisa meet on a regular basis to analyse currency and interest rate exposures as well as
future funding requirements within the group. The committee reviews the treasury operation’s dealings to ensure
compliance with group policies and counterparty exposure limits.

Commodity price risk


Commodity price risk arises from the possible adverse effect of fluctuations in commodity prices on current and
future earnings. Most of these prices are US dollar based and are internationally determined in the open market.
From these base prices, contracts are negotiated. ARM does not actively hedge future commodity revenues of
the commodities that it produces against price fluctuations.

The Nkomati, Two Rivers and Modikwa operations recognise revenue using the discounted forward commodity
price relating to the month in which the sale will be finalised. There is a risk that the spot price does not realise
when the metal price fixes on out-turn at the refinery. Management is of the opinion that this method of revenue
recognition is the most appropriate. The risk is that where there are significant changes in metal prices after a
reporting period end that the next reporting period is impacted. The value of accounts receivable for these three
entities included in trade and other receivables (refer note 13) amounts to R5 172 million (F2021: R6 146 million).
Refer to the sensitivity below on page 102.

Interest rate risk


The group’s exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to the group’s long-term debt
obligations (refer to note 39 sensitivity). The group manages its interest cost using a mix of fixed and variable
rates. Fluctuations in interest rates give rise to interest rate risks through the impact these fluctuations have on
the value of short-term cash investments and financing activities. Fixed interest rate loans carry a fair value risk
due to change in market rates. Cash is managed to ensure that surplus funds are invested in a manner to
achieve maximum returns while minimising risks.

The table quantifies the interest rate risk.

Fair value risk
The carrying amounts of other receivables, cash and cash equivalents, financial assets and trade and other
payables approximate their fair value because of the short-term duration of these instruments.

Fair value hierarchy


The group uses the following hierarchy for determining the level of confidence in the valuation technique used:
Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 – A technique where all inputs that have an impact on the value are observable, either directly or indirectly
Level 3 – A technique where all inputs that have an impact on the value are not observable

Acquisition risk
Acquisition risk is the risk that acquisitions do not realise expected returns. This risk is mitigated by ensuring that
all major investments are reviewed by the ARM investment committee after being proposed by management.

Capital risk management


The management and maintenance of capital in ARM is a central focus of the board and senior management.
The ability to continue as a going concern and to safeguard assets while optimally funding capital expenditure
is continually monitored. Capital is mainly monitored on the basis of the net gearing ratio while giving due
consideration to life-of-mine plans and business plans. Capital structure is maintained and improved by ensuring
an appropriate level of borrowings, adjusting dividends and reviewing returns from operations. ARM does not
have a fixed policy on gearing but targets a net gearing threshold of 30% for external funding. Total capital is
defined as total equity on the statement of financial position plus debt.

Sensitivity
The sensitivity calculations are performed on the variances in prices, exchange rates and interest rate changes.
The assumptions are calculated individually while keeping all other variables constant. The effect is calculated
only on the financial instruments as at year end. It is relevant to note that the accounts receivable balance in
note 13 of R5 172 million (F2021: R6 146 million) was valued using the following parameters: (i) rand/US dollar
exchange rate of R16.38 (F2021: R14.27), (ii) platinum price of US$985/oz (F2021: US$1 045/oz), (iii) palladium
price of US$2 174/oz (F2021: US$2 453/oz), rhodium of US$16 275/oz (F2021: US$19 221/oz), and a nickel price
of US$23 319 (F2021: US$16 447/tonne.)

The sensitivity was applied to profit or loss before taxation and non-controlling interest. There is no other impact
on equity.

into account any repayments of long- or short-term borrowings. The prices of all other commodities are
contractually fixed and are thus not impacted by price fluctuations after the reporting date.

It is anticipated that this expenditure, which mainly relates to mine development and plant and equipment, will be
financed from operating cash flows and by utilising available cash and borrowing resources.

Contingent liabilities
Nkomati
The Nkomati Mine closure may have a potential exposure regarding rehabilitation and management of water
post closure. There are uncertainties regarding the ongoing assessment of long-term water management
measures, and anticipated amendments to the existing water use licence (WUL).

Water monitoring has been ongoing for the past 18 months and it is anticipated to be completed in March 2023.
The outcome of the study will be used for ground water and surface water numerical modelling. The results of
the numerical modelling will inform the option for water management solutions, as well as the size and quantum
of the water management system. The integrated specialist studies, which includes the outcome numerical
modelling, will be used to define and apply for appropriate closure water use licence closure conditions.
Potential water resource impact liability and the quantum for water management remains uncertain, the
obligation will be recognised when it is probable and can be reliably estimated.

The environmental rehabilitation provision at 30 June 2022 is the best independent estimate and is based on
the most reliable information currently available.

It will be re-assessed on an ongoing basis as engineering designs evolve and new information becomes available,
as well as when approvals of a revised environmental management plan and water use licence are secured.

Disputes
ARM Mining Consortium made an application against the Department of Mineral Resources and Energy (DMRE)
and third-party respondents requesting the court to order the DMRE to reassess applications for certain
prospecting rights brought by Rustenburg Platinum Mines, ARM Mining Consortium’s joint venture partner, that
had been earlier rejected. Judgment on the matter was granted on 10 July 2020. The court found against
ARM Mining Consortium. ARM Mining Consortium applied for leave to appeal the court judgment in the
Supreme Court of Appeal (SCA) in Bloemfontein, which was granted. The Appeal Record was served and filed
at the SCA on 15 April 2021. Both parties (applicants and respondents) have filed their heads of argument.
ARM Mining Consortium’s appeal against the decision of the High Court of South Africa in Limpopo was heard
by the Supreme Court of Appeal on 1 March 2022. Judgment was reserved in the matter.

Guarantees
A back-to-back guarantee to Assore Limited (Assore) in respect of ARM’s share of the guarantees issued to
bankers by Assore to secure a short-term export finance agreement facility of R180 million (F2021: R180 million)
by Assmang. Short-term export finance loans negotiated in terms of the above facility in the ordinary course of
business at 30 June 2022 were Rnil (F2021: Rnil).

Guarantees to the Department of Mineral Resources for rehabilitation provision amounting to R577 million
(F2021: R375 million). Guarantees to Eskom amounting to R124 million (F2021: R90 million).

During the year Sakura’s debt was restructured, which resulted in the United Overseas Bank (UOB) guarantee
reducing from US$60 million to US$27.4 million. This guarantee relates to the US$27.4 million (100%) credit
facility from UOB to Sakura. US$21 million (100%) of the facility was drawn down by Sakura at 30 June 2022.

During F2022 Sakura’s net debt position improved and Sakura settled the remaining US$15 million of the Mizuho
loan facility and the US$20 million of the SMBC loan facility. The Mizuho guarantee expired on 25 May 2022 and
it was not renewed, the SMBC guarantee is still in place and will expire in September 2023. Assmang’s SMBC
guarantee at 54.36% is US$11.3 million (F2021: US$11.3 million). ARM’s 50% interest in Assmang would equate
to US$5.7 million (F2021: US$5.7 million).

41. RETIREMENT PLANS


The group facilitates pension plans and provident funds substantially covering all employees. These are
composed of defined contribution pension plans, which are governed by the Pension Funds Act, 1956, and
defined contribution provident funds administered by employee organisations within the industries in which
members are employed.

The benefits provided by the defined contribution plans are determined by accumulated contributions and
returns on investment.

Members contribute between 5.0% and 7.5% and employers contribute between 6.2% and 20.0% of
pensionable salaries to the funds. Members’ contribution for the current year amounts to R192 million
(F2021: R187 million)

42. POST-RETIREMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS


The group has obligations to fund a portion of certain pensioners’ and retiring employees’ medical aid
contributions based on the cost of benefits in terms of a defined benefit plan. The anticipated liabilities arising
from these obligations have been actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method and a
corresponding liability has been raised.

42. POST-RETIREMENT HEALTHCARE BENEFITS continued


The liability is assessed at three-yearly intervals by an independent actuary. The assumptions used are as follows:
• A real discount rate of 2.1% per annum (F2021: 1.8% per annum)
• An increase in healthcare costs at a rate of between 8.3% and 8.5% per annum (F2021: 7% and 9% per annum)
• A 1% change in the healthcare inflation rate used is estimated to have an impact of plus 7% or less 6%
(F2021: plus 7% or less 8%) on the liability
• The normal retirement age was assumed to be 60 years. It was assumed that all members would become
entitled to full post-employment subsidies from normal retirement age, and the liabilities were assumed to be
fully accrued at retirement age.

The provisions raised in respect of post-retirement healthcare benefits amounted to R76 million (F2021: R85 million)
at the end of the year. For movements refer note 20.

The liabilities raised based on present values of the post-retirement benefit, have been recognised in full. An
actuarial valuation is carried out in respect of this liability at three-yearly intervals. No new employees get this
benefit and the liability is relatively stable. The last actuarial valuation was carried out in F2022.

At retirement members are given the choice to have an actuarially determined amount paid into their pension
fund to cover the expected cost of the post-retirement health cover. Alternatively the group will continue to fund
a portion of the retiring employee’s medical aid contributions.

43. SHARE-BASED PAYMENT PLANS


Equity-settled plan
The company uses plans to attract, retain, motivate and reward eligible employees who are able to influence the
performance of ARM on a basis which aligns their interest with those of the company’s shareholders.

Share options
Between F2008 and F2014 annual allocations of share options were made on a much reduced scale due to the
adoption of the share plan. No share options have been allocated since the end of F2014 (refer remuneration
report).

The company granted share options to certain employees under the share incentive scheme. The exercise price
of the options was equal to the market price of the shares on the date of the grant. Before July 2008 the options
started to vest one year after the grant date in three equal tranches over three years and from 1 July 2008 the
options vested after three years. Both schemes were subject to continued employment.

The contract life of each option is eight years from the grant date.

Bonus shares
Bonus shares are conditional rights to shares which were allocated annually, which allocations were determined
according to a specified ratio of the annual cash incentive accruing to senior executives. Bonus shares vest and
are settled between three and four years, subject to continued employment. Other than bonus shares awarded
in terms of the bonus share/co-investment scheme method and the waived bonus method, no bonus shares have
been awarded since 2015. If a senior executive leaves due to a fault termination (eg resignation or dismissal), all
unvested awards are forfeited. If a senior executive leaves due to a no-fault termination (eg retirement), all bonus
shares awarded prior to December 2014 are settled in full (refer remuneration report).

Deferred bonus/co-investment scheme


The deferred bonus/co-investment scheme was implemented to closely align the interests of shareholders and
senior executives by rewarding superior performance and by encouraging senior executives to build up a
shareholding in the company, as well as to enhance the retention characteristics of the current reward of senior
executives. The company is of the view that the deferral of a portion of immediate cash bonuses demonstrates
a heightened commitment to performance and shareholder alignment, and promotes the retention of key
employees and enhances the performance and shareholder alignment characteristics of the share plan.

Senior executives are offered the opportunity, before the end of March each year, to elect that a portion of any
cash bonus calculated at the end of the performance year, be deferred and converted into an equivalent value
of deferred bonus shares.

To encourage senior executives to take up the deferral(s), the deferred bonus shares are matched with the
equivalent number of performance shares. The remainder of the deferred cash bonus, after any deferral,
will accrue to senior executives and be paid out in cash.

Scheme to F2016: Senior executives could defer 25%, 33% or a maximum of 50%.

Scheme with effect from F2018: Senior executives may defer 25%, 33%, 50%, 75% or 100%
(refer remuneration report).

The deferred bonus/co-investment scheme was discontinued in October 2019.

Waived bonus method


The waived bonus method was implemented to closely align the interests of shareholders and senior executives
by rewarding superior performance and by encouraging senior executives to build up a shareholding in the
company, and to enhance the retention characteristics of the current reward of senior executives.

In advance of the F2016 bonus being quantified or declared, and before any such bonus accrued, the executive
chairman elected to waive and receive delivery of 100% of the value of any cash bonus which might accrue to him
in respect of the F2016 performance year, on a pre-tax basis, in the form of 100% of the value of the waived F2016
bonus in bonus shares and the matching equivalent number of performance shares (refer remuneration report).

Performance shares method
Performance shares are conditional rights to shares which are typically awarded on an annual basis in order to
reduce the risk of unanticipated outcomes arising out of share price volatility and cyclical factors. Performance
shares vest and are settled between three and four years, subject to the achievement of pre-determined
performance criteria.

For awards made from May 2015, total shareholder return (TSR) in terms of the JSE Limited Resources 10 Index
(RESI 10) and the 20-day volume weighted average price (VWAP) were used to determine the number of
performance shares that vest. The RESI 10 was discontinued from December 2015, after which the number of
companies in the peer group was increased to 20 (excluding gold and diamond companies). From May 2017,
the performance measurement graph was clarified to provide for situations where there were less than 20 mining
companies in a peer group. The comparator groups for benchmarking were selected through a rigorous process
to ensure the overall competitiveness of ARM’s remuneration. Refer remuneration report.

Modification
In order for retirees to enjoy the maximum benefit of their Unvested Awards without pro-rated vesting, they
agreed to waive and forfeit the Unvested Awards in exchange for receiving Conditional Replacement Cash-
Settled Awards. The accounting treatment is based on a modification and not cancellation.

This is seen as a replacement award, and the incremental fair value has been recognised for the replacement
award. The net incremental fair value recognised of R40 million was calculated as the difference between the
fair value of the replacement award and the fair value of the waived/forfeited award at the modification date.

Assumptions used were as follows:


The conditional share plan valuation was done using a Monte Carlo simulation on a comparator group of 20 mining
company shares (excluding gold and diamond shares), assuming no dividends on all shares.

All volatilities and correlation matrices were determined using historical data with no weighting applied.

The TSR performance curve used in these calculations is taken from the supplied “Illustrative Example” provided
in the share plan.

Under the accounting standards prescribed in IFRS 2 (2004), non-market-related performance conditions, such
as continued employment, are not taken into account when calculating the fair value of a share scheme.
Adjustments according to these performance conditions should be made afterwards, at each accounting date.

The following table lists the range of inputs to the models used on the grant date for the years ended 30 June 2022

45. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE


45.1 Subsequent to year end ARM received a dividend from Assmang of R3 500 million.

45.2 Harmony declared a final dividend of 22 cents per share, bringing their total dividend for F2022 to 62 cents per
share. At 30 June 2022 and at the date of this report, ARM owned 74 665 545 Harmony shares.

45.3 ARM declared a dividend of R20.00 per share on 1 September 2022.

45.4 Acquisition of Bokoni Platinum Mine Proprietary Limited (BPM)


On 20 December 2021 ARM entered into a sale and purchase agreement which provides for ARM Platinum,
a wholly owned subsidiary of ARM, to acquire all of the shares (100%) of BPM from Bokoni Platinum Holdings
Proprietary Limited (BPH), in turn owned by Rustenburg Platinum Mines Limited (RPM), a wholly owned
subsidiary of Anglo American Platinum Limited (AAPL), and Plateau Resources Proprietary Limited (Plateau),
a wholly owned subsidiary of Atlatsa Resources Corporation (Atlatsa), through a newly formed entity ARM
Bokoni Mining Consortium Proprietary Limited (ARM BMC), for a consideration of R3 500 million payable in cash.

The sale and purchase agreement included various conditions to the purchase becoming effective, most notably
approval for the transfer of the controlling interest in BPM to ARM BMC in terms of Section 11 of the Mineral and
Petroleum Resources Development Act 28 of 2002, as well as the approval of the acquisition by the Competition
Commission.

As at the date of authorising these financial statements, the significant conditions precedent in the sale and
purchase agreement had been fulfilled and the closing date was 1 September 2022.

ARM BMC transferred the consideration of R3 500 million in cash, on 1 September 2022. This was funded by ARM
through the subscription of an additional 99 000 shares in ARM Platinum. ARM Platinum thereafter subscribed for
254 900 ordinary shares and 175 000 preference shares in ARM BMC.

The following are the primary objectives of the transaction:


• Long-life ore body favourably impacting medium-term production. Adding a long-life operation greater than
24 years with significant opportunity for further value accretive growth
• Provides exposure to a high-grade UG2 resource that has an attractive prill split with high concentration
of palladium and rhodium, and favourable iridium and ruthenium contributions
• Improves ARM’s portfolio mix and competitiveness, with the addition of a mechanised underground operation
(in new mining areas) that is expected to lower ARM’s overall PGM cost curve position
• Provides for potential scale benefits and opportunities for operational optimisation, given its proximity to ARM’s
other Eastern limb PGM operations.

On 11 June 2022, approval was granted to transfer a controlling interest in BPM (the mining right holder)
to ARM BMC for which consent was obtained in terms of section 11 of the Mineral and Petroleum Resources
Development Act 28 of 2002 from the Department of Minerals Resources and Energy.

On 2 August 2022, the Competition Commission approved the proposed acquisition of BPM, pending
Competition Tribunal clearance. Competition Tribunal clearance was granted on 11 August 2022.

In terms of IFRS 3 Business combinations, ARM has concluded that the acquisition of BPM is considered
to be a “business combination” as defined in IFRS 3, with an acquisition date of 1 September 2022, in line
with transfer of control, being the effective date as per the sale and purchase agreement.

45. EVENTS AFTER THE REPORTING DATE continued


45.4 Acquisition of Bokoni Platinum Mine Proprietary Limited (BPM) continued
As a result of the timing of the Competition Tribunal clearance and the uncertainties associated with potential
directives which may have been issued by the Competition Commission in their consideration of the proposed
structure of the sale and purchase agreement, as well as the different mining approaches (conventional vs
mechanised) to be determined after the various feasibility studies are completed, the fair value for each major
class of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, cannot yet be accurately determined. The option analysis
(conventional vs mechanised) to restart the mine has an impact on the mine plan. The final mine plan and
resultant valuation of assets can therefore only be accurately determined once all the feasibility studies have
been completed. This is a complex process as it involves different sites, and an assessment of which option
will yield the best outcome.

ARM Platinum has appointed a valuator in order to conduct a fair value valuation of at-acquisition identifiable
assets and liabilities through a purchase price allocation (PPA) mechanism, at which point an amount of either
goodwill or gain on bargain purchase will be determined.

Since BPM is currently on care maintenance and not generating income from sale goods, the amounts of
revenue and profit or loss have not been disclosed. Included in operating expenditure (refer note 29), is an
amount of R28 million relating to the acquisition costs of Bokoni. These acquisition costs do not include
depreciation or amortisation of the Bokoni Platinum Mine or any of the assets which are being acquired.

45.5 Subsequent to year end, prices for iron ore, manganese ore and manganese alloys decreased which will
negatively impact the sales and debtors subject to provisional pricing and inventory net realisable values at
Assmang and ultimately the equity-accounted earnings. The financial impact will only be determined on actual
final pricing of sales and inventory realisation. This is considered a non-adjusting subsequent event.

No other significant events have occurred subsequent to the reporting date that could materially effect the
reported results or require further disclosure.
