Total Voting Rights

13 December 2012

Lonmin Plc - Voting Rights and Capital Update

Following the Company's announcements on 11 December 2012 confirming the final result of the 9 for 5 Rights Issue and the successful placing of the rump, the Company's hereby advises that the total issued share capital of the Company as at 11 December 2012 comprises 568,554,312 ordinary shares of US$1, each with voting rights, and 50,000 sterling deferred shares of £1, each with no voting rights.

The legal structure of the Rights Issue required that fractional entitlements were not allotted. As a consequence, the number of shares offered to each shareholder (nil paid), as determined on the relevant record dates, totalled 365,496,943 ordinary shares. Adding this to the 203,057,369 ordinary shares in issue prior to the Rights Issue gives the total above.

The new number of ordinary shares in issue (568,554,312) should be used by shareholders as the denominator for the calculations by which they can determine if they are required to notify their interest in, or a change to their interest in, the Company under the Financial Service Authority's Disclosure and Transparency Rules.
