Harmony Gold Mining : reduces debt and strengthens balance sheet - US$100 million repaid on bridge facility

Johannesburg, Tuesday 19 June 2018. Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited ('Harmony' and/or 'the Company') is pleased to announce that it has repaid a further US$100 million on the original US$200 million bridge loan raised for the acquisition of Moab Khotsong.

Peter Steenkamp, chief executive officer said 'Harmony believes in having a robust and flexible balance sheet that supports its growth ambitions. We have used the proceeds from the oversubscribed share placement announced on 6 June 2018 to repay US$100 million of the bridge facility. Production at Moab Khotsong in the past three and a half months support our view that the mine is a quality asset and it will strengthen Harmony's cash flows further'.

The remaining balance outstanding of US$50 million on the bridge loan is expected to be repaid from operating cash flows as well as the proceeds from the share placement to African Rainbow Minerals Limited (which is subject to approval by shareholders).
