Director/PDMR Shareholding

5 August 2014

Notification of Transactions of Directors and Persons Discharging Managerial Responsibilities ("PDMRs")

Pursuant to DTR 3.1.4 R, Lonmin Plc (the "Company") confirms that the award over 42,264 shares in the Company granted under the Long Term Incentive Plan to Simon Scott, Chief Financial Officer and a director of the Company, on 3 August 2011 lapsed in full on 3 August 2014.

The vesting of his LTIP award was subject to a performance condition combining the measurement of operational performance using the Company's Balanced Scorecard averaged over three financial years and the Company's Total Shareholder Return relative to the median of a group consisting of the Company's five direct peers producing Platinum Group Metals, measured over a three year period. The relative TSR component was not met and, as a result, his LTIP Award lapsed in full.

Further information regarding this performance condition is available in the remuneration report in the Company's 2013 annual report.

The performance components of the LTIP Awards (amounting to 50% of the total award held and subject to the same performance condition) granted to the PDMRs listed below similarly lapsed on 3 August 2014. The remaining 50% of their LTIP Awards, the vesting of which was subject to continued employment only, vested on 3 August 2014 and resulted in the sale and retention of shares, as detailed below.
