FINAL ORDINARY CASH DIVIDEND DECLARATION AND SHARE REPURCHASES

Share repurchases

The Group will implement share repurchases (share buyback), subject to market
conditions, in the period commencing 19 March 2024 and, unless revised or terminated
earlier, ending 3 June 2024, being the last trading day prior to the Group's next annual
general meeting ("AGM") which will take place on 4 June 2024. The aggregate
purchase price of all shares repurchased will be no greater than R500 million.

The repurchase of Thungela shares will take place on the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange ("JSE") through the order book operated by the JSE trading system and is
being undertaken pursuant to the general authority from Thungela shareholders by way
of a shareholders' special resolution passed at the Company's AGM on 31 May 2023,
allowing the Group to repurchase up to 10% of the issued share capital of the Company
in any one financial year, subject to certain limitations ("Authority"). The repurchases will
be made by Thungela Operations Proprietary Limited (a subsidiary of the Group).

Pursuant to the JSE Listings Requirements, the maximum price which may be paid for
any repurchase under the Authority may not exceed a price which is 10% above the
volume weighted average trading price of the shares on the JSE for the five business
days immediately preceding the date of such repurchase.

In compliance with paragraph 11.27 of the JSE Listings Requirements, the Group will
announce when share repurchases cumulatively reach 3% of the number of shares in
issue as at the date of the Authority, and any 3% increments thereafter.

Final ordinary cash dividend declaration

The Thungela board of directors approved the declaration of a final gross ordinary cash
dividend of 1,000.00 cents per share (South African rand). The dividend has been
declared from retained earnings accrued during the year ended 31 December 2023.
The Company's issued share capital at the declaration date is 140,492,585 ordinary
shares.

The salient dates pertaining to the cash dividend are as follows:

No transfers of shareholdings to and from the South African or the United Kingdom (UK)
register will be permitted between Tuesday, 16 April 2024 and Friday, 19 April 2024
(both dates inclusive). Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised
between Wednesday, 17 April 2024 and Friday, 19 April 2024 (both dates inclusive). Any
changes to the dividend instructions and timetable will be announced on SENS and
RNS.

The salient dates have been set as above in order to allow non-South African resident
shareholders sufficient time to apply for a reduced rate of dividend withholding tax in the
event that they may qualify for this.

The dividend is payable in South African rand to shareholders recorded as such on the
register on the record date and whose shares are held through Central Securities
Participants and brokers traded on the JSE.

Shareholders on the UK register of members will be paid in Pound sterling. The Pound
sterling cash equivalent will be calculated using the following exchange rate:
GBP1:ZAR23.91378, being the 5-day (business days) average GBP:ZAR exchange
rate (as quoted by Bloomberg) up to Thursday, 14 March 2024.

Shareholders are encouraged to ensure that their bank mandates or international
payment instructions have been recorded by their service provider or registrars before
the last day to trade for this dividend. Electronic payments ensure more efficient and
timely payment. It should be noted that cheques are no longer permitted to be issued or
processed by South African banks; in the UK, registrars will still issue and post cheques
in the absence of specific mandates or payment instructions.

Tax treatment for shareholders on the South African register

The dividend will have no tax consequences for Thungela but will be subject to 20%
withholding tax for shareholders who are not exempt from dividends tax, or who do not
qualify for a reduced rate of withholding tax in terms of any applicable agreement for the
avoidance of double taxation (DTA) concluded between South Africa and the country of
residence of the shareholder.

Should dividend withholding tax be withheld at a rate of 20%, the net dividend amount
due to shareholders is 800.00 cents per share (South African rand) – 1,000.00 cents
gross dividend per share less 200.00 cents dividend withholding tax per share.

Tax treatment for shareholders on the UK register

Thungela has retained Computershare UK as intermediary to receive and process the
relevant prescribed declarations and forms as set out below. Any reference below to
documentation which is required to be submitted to Thungela, should therefore be
submitted to Computershare UK.

Non-South African tax resident shareholders will be paid the dividend subject to 20%
withholding tax for shareholders. Certain non-South African tax resident shareholders
may, however, be entitled to a reduced rate of dividends tax due to the provisions of an
applicable tax treaty.

Shareholders who qualify for an exemption from dividends tax in terms of section 64F of
the South African Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 must provide:
- A declaration that the dividend is exempt from dividends tax.
- A written undertaking to inform the regulated intermediary should the circumstances
affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial
owner, both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African
Revenue Service to the regulated intermediary prior to the required date in order to
benefit from the exemption. The prescribed form has been transposed onto the
Computershare UK format.

Shareholders on the UK register will be sent the required documentation for completion
and return to Computershare UK. Qualifying shareholders on the UK register are
advised to arrange for the above mentioned documents to be submitted to
Computershare UK by Friday, 19 April 2024.

Should dividend withholding tax be withheld at a rate of 20%, the net dividend amount
due to shareholders is 33.46 pence per share (Pound sterling) – 41.82 pence gross
dividend per share less 8.36 pence dividend withholding tax per share.

THUNGELA DELIVERS ON STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES AND ENTERS 2024 AS
AN INTERNATIONAL COAL PRODUCER

Thungela today announced solid financial results for the year ended 31 December
2023, against the backdrop of continued rail underperformance and coal price
headwinds. These achievements underscore the Group's resilience, operational
excellence and financial discipline. The combination of a final ordinary dividend
distribution of R1.4 billion, and the commencement of a share repurchase (share
buyback) of up to R500 million subject to market conditions, affirms our commitment

seminal step on our path to diversification. We continue to make good progress on
our production replacement and life extension projects in South Africa, Elders and
Zibulo North Shaft, as we build momentum for a more competitive, longer-life
portfolio. The successful execution of these strategic priorities emphasises
Thungela's ambition to building a sustainable, long-life business across multiple
geographies, paving the way for the Group to capitalise on the robust long-term
fundamentals supporting coal globally.

MESSAGE FROM JULY NDLOVU, CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER

Thungela delivered resilient results in 2023. We achieved adjusted EBITDA* of R8.5
billion and net profit of R5.0 billion, despite a significant decline in benchmark coal
prices and continued poor performance from Transnet Freight Rail (TFR). Earnings
were also impacted by the late arrival of seven vessels in December, which resulted
in the slippage of approximately 550kt of sales planned for December 2023 into
January 2024.

2023 proved transformative for Thungela, with the acquisition of the Ensham Mine in
Australia, approval of an extension to the life of our flagship Zibulo mine, and
continued execution of the Elders project setting us on a path towards diversification,
a more competitive portfolio and a longer life business.

Safety is our first value. As reported previously, our colleague Breeze Mahlangu
tragically passed away in February 2023. While our overall safety performance
(measured in total recordable case frequency rate) in South Africa is consistent with
last year, we cannot waiver in our commitment to operating a business free from
fatalities and injuries. We continued to spike on the social component of ESG, with
contributions of R312 million to the Nkulo Community Partnership Trust and the
Sisonke Employee Empowerment Scheme. In January 2024 we launched a R160
million, five-year education initiative in Mpumalanga seeking to improve access to
quality education for grade R to grade four learners in 45 no-fee schools.

Shareholder returns reflect resilient performance in challenging conditions

Thungela successfully navigated several exogenous challenges, including the
weaker benchmark coal prices and continued poor rail performance by TFR, as the
business delivered operational results in line with our targets.

In South Africa, we achieved export saleable production of 12.2Mt, at a free on board
(FOB) cost excluding royalties* of R1,084 per export tonne, while we spent
R3.0 billion in capital expenditure. This performance is aligned to our guidance to the
market at the release of our 2023 interim results.

In Australia, export saleable production of 2.9Mt (on a 100%, full-year basis)
exceeded our initial expectations of 2.7Mt. FOB cost excluding royalties* at Ensham
for the period from completion of the acquisition through to the end of year was
R1,544 per tonne. We spent R299 million in capital over the same period (on an
85% basis).

Our agility in responding to the various challenges helped us maintain strong cash
generation which resulted in adjusted operating free cash flow* of R6.8 billion in
2023, and a net cash* position of R10.2 billion at year end, slightly ahead of our
estimate in the December 2023 Pre-close Statement as a result of better cash
conversion, providing room for improved returns to shareholders.

The successful execution of our two life extension projects is crucial to the Group's
future competitiveness, and their funding requirements continue to determine the
appropriate level of balance sheet flexibility. Accordingly, the board considers it
appropriate to reserve the R2.6 billion yet to be spent on these projects, as well as
the cash buffer of R5 billion at year end. Thungela remains able to access R3.2
billion in undrawn credit facilities, and plans to maintain this flexibility for as long as
challenges to obtaining funding from international capital markets persist. The board
has also set aside R500 million as cash collateral for the financial surety required for
the Ensham rehabilitation liability, while we pursue acceptance into the Queensland
Financial Provisioning Scheme.

Shareholder returns are a central focus of our capital allocation framework. We not
only invest in initiatives which deliver attractive returns in the long-term, but also
prioritise returning value to shareholders through dividends and share buybacks, the
combination of which provides flexibility for the diverse preferences of our
shareholders, while maintaining a strong financial position.

Since listing, we have consistently delivered on our commitment to distribute a
minimum of 30% of adjusted operating free cash flow* to shareholders. This year is
no different, and the board has, in line with the Group's capital allocation framework,
declared a final ordinary cash dividend of R10.00 per share. Combined with the
interim dividend of R10.00 per share, this amounts to a total dividend of R2.8 billion,
representing 41% of adjusted operating free cash flow* for the year.

In addition, the board has approved a share buyback of up to R500 million (subject
to market conditions), which will be executed up to the date of the Group's next
AGM. Taking this into account, Thungela is returning 49% of adjusted operating free
cash flow* for the full year to shareholders. The dividend and share buyback reflect
our confidence in the Group's strong financial position and future prospects.

The long-term fundamentals for coal demand remain robust

Thermal coal prices declined much faster than market observers expected at the
start of 2023. This was driven by a mild winter in the northern hemisphere, coupled
with high coal and gas reserves - a result of the scramble to secure energy stocks in
2022, following the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

While global efforts to reduce emissions from fossil fuels are underway, the demand
for energy, including thermal coal, remains strong. This is reflected in record levels of
global electricity generation from coal, as well as thermal coal exports. As Europe
and North America pledge to phase down unabated coal, the use of coal for power
generation will become concentrated in Asia, home to several of our key markets.
Rapidly growing economies such as China, India, Vietnam, the Philippines and
Indonesia remain reliant on coal as an affordable and reliable source of power. In its
'Coal 2023 Report' the International Energy Agency acknowledged that coal
remained the largest energy source for electricity generation, steel-making and
cement production - affirming that coal will continue to play a central role in the
global economy.

Demand remains strong and responsive, but supply is presenting a growing
challenge, with limited access to funding and insurance, increasingly stringent
regulatory requirements, and widespread social and political opposition to the
development of new coal mines. This provides companies like Thungela, with
established high-quality coal operations and access to existing reserves, with a
significant structural advantage.

Managing the impact of continued poor rail performance

Inconsistent and constrained TFR performance has once again significantly
compromised the South African coal mining industry. In 2023, TFR railed 47.9Mt of
thermal coal to the Richards Bay Coal Terminal (RBCT), compared to 50.3Mt in
2022, a decline of 4.8%.

We continue to work closely with other industry players and Transnet to remedy rail
performance. Through RBCT, the industry has strengthened security measures by
deploying additional security on the coal line for the past 18 months. While the
impasse between TFR and Chinese locomotive supplier CRRC continues, RBCT (on
behalf of the industry) is also helping Transnet to acquire the critical spare parts
necessary for the maintenance of locomotives from alternative suppliers.

The cost of the spares and security deployment is recovered by the coal exporting
parties through the mutual cooperation agreement signed between TFR and RBCT
(representing the coal exporting parties). Further collaborative efforts will address
critical systems, such as signalling, to improve overall performance.

We have responded to TFR's persistent poor performance by curtailing production at
our underground mines, renting sidings to improve our rail distribution pattern and
driving efficiencies at our rapid loading terminals. Acting swiftly and decisively in the
face of rail challenges has allowed us to benefit from additional trains when they are
available, and rail 12.3Mt of export saleable volumes in 2023. Given the uncertain
nature of TFR's performance, we have agreed to extend the existing long-term rail
agreement by one year, to 31 March 2025, to allow TFR to demonstrate sufficient
stability before the contract is renegotiated.

Building a sustainable and long-life business across multiple geographies

2023 was a year of significant accomplishments for Thungela as we executed our
strategic priorities - successfully unlocking new markets and mitigating risk through
our geographic diversification strategy, increasing the life of our business and
building an organisation optimised for further diversification. These actions
demonstrate our singular focus on creating long-term value for our stakeholders.

The acquisition of a controlling interest in the Ensham Business in Australia marked
a significant milestone on our diversification journey, as it expands Thungela's
presence beyond South Africa. This mitigates our reliance on a single operating
geography and opens up new markets, notably in Japan and Malaysia, diversifying
our customer base and providing exposure to the Newcastle Benchmark coal price.

Ensham will benefit from our operational expertise as it extracts coal using
mechanised underground bord and pillar mining methods, similar to those used in
our South African operations. Since we assumed operational control on 1 September
2023, our focus has been on improving productivity. Operational performance has
stabilised at an annualised run-rate of 3.2Mtpa, up from 2.7Mtpa at the acquisition
date. We believe there is opportunity for further improvement to approximately
3.6Mtpa through the introduction of an additional production section in 2024.
Resource development studies are underway to define the full upside potential of the
Ensham resource by identifying brownfield opportunities and their related capital
requirements.

Thriving in a rapidly evolving energy landscape will require the creation of a robust
Thungela with a long-life, cost competitive portfolio that is diversified and future-
proof. We are confident that the depletion of existing reserves globally, coupled with
a lack of new supply, will be price supportive in the long term, supporting cash
generation and shareholder returns.

Accordingly, maximising value from our existing assets will be critical to shaping our
future business. Through Ensham, and the Elders and Zibulo North Shaft projects,
we will transform Thungela into a long-life business with a competitive portfolio
measured by all-in sustaining cost.

The Elders project, which will replace export volumes when the Goedehoop Colliery
reaches the end of its life, has progressed rapidly and on budget - delivering first
coal on 1 March 2024, well ahead of initial estimates. The Zibulo North Shaft life
extension project, which will increase the life of our flagship mine through to 2038,
also continues to progress well.

By 2026, Thungela will be a c.15Mtpa export business (with an estimated 11Mtpa
from South Africa and 4Mtpa from Australia). Our production footprint will change
significantly in the coming years as production from Elders and Zibulo North is
ramped-up and some of our existing mines naturally come to the end of their lives
(Goedehoop and Isibonelo in 2025, and Greenside in 2026).

The complexity of managing an international business requires several changes to
the Group's business model, particularly in how coal from our portfolio is marketed
internationally. To meet this need, we have established Thungela Marketing
International in the United Arab Emirates, one of the leading coal trading centres
globally.

In anticipation of the expiration of the marketing agreement with Anglo American
Marketing Limited in June 2024, Thungela Marketing International has commenced
with some of the marketing functions. Thungela Marketing International will cater to
both the South African and Australian assets, reinforcing our commitment to
capturing the full margin on our products and actively participating in the
international commodities market as a global coal producer.

Looking ahead

Despite near-term headwinds, our commitment to delivering on our strategic
priorities remains unwavering, ensuring readiness to take advantage of the long-term
fundamentals supporting coal demand, and ultimately stronger coal prices, in our
key markets. In the short term, a sustainable solution to ensure efficient and reliable
rail performance is critical and we will continue working with TFR to remedy the state
of rail in South Africa.

We continue to evaluate our portfolio with a focus on strengthening the Group's
competitiveness, optimising capital allocation and ultimately maximising shareholder
returns. We will continue to create sustainable value for all our stakeholders and to
deliver on our purpose - to responsibly create value together for a shared future.

Figures in the table above are based on an exchange rate of ZAR12.20:AUD1. Royalties are calculated using an assumed
Richards Bay Benchmark coal price of USD100 per tonne and a Newcastle Benchmark coal price of USD120 per tonne.

As the timing of a sustained improvement in rail performance in South Africa is still
uncertain, we have adopted the same approach to guidance as last year and will
provide guidance only for 2024. This approach remains appropriate when
considering the agreement between Thungela and Transnet to postpone the
renegotiation of the long-term rail agreement by one year in order to allow Transnet
to demonstrate sufficient stability before the contract is renegotiated.

With regards to Ensham, as we only assumed operational control on 1 September
2023, we are currently identifying the potential step-up in performance, establishing
high confidence cost estimates and understanding the appropriate level of capital
expenditure beyond 2024. Accordingly, we have only provided guidance for 2024 at
this stage.

DIVIDEND DECLARATION AND SHARE REPURCHASE

The board has declared a final ordinary cash dividend of R10.00 per share, payable
to shareholders on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange and London Stock Exchange
in April 2024 and May 2024, respectively.

In addition, the board has authorised a share repurchase of up to R500 million,
subject to market conditions. The program will be executed in the period
commencing 19 March 2024 and, unless revised or terminated earlier, ending 3 June
2024, being the last trading day prior to the Group's next AGM, scheduled for
Tuesday, 4 June 2024, and will be subject to market conditions and applicable legal
and regulatory requirements.

Further details regarding the dividend payable to shareholders of Thungela as well
as the share repurchase can be found in a separate announcement dated 18 March
2024 on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange News Services (SENS) and London
Regulatory News Services (RNS).

Thungela Resources Limited Trading Statement for the year ended 31 December 2023

Shareholders are advised that Thungela and its directors have a reasonable degree of
certainty related to the expected financial results of the Group for the year ended
31 December 2023 in line with paragraph 3.4(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements.

Expected earnings per share and headline earnings per share

Shareholders are advised that earnings per share ('EPS') for the year ended
31 December 2023 (the 'current period') is expected to be between R34 and R39, a
decrease of between R88.08 and R93.08 per share compared to EPS of R127.08 for
the year ended 31 December 2022 (the 'prior period'). Earnings attributable to the
shareholders of the Group for the current period is expected to be between R4.6 billion
and R5.3 billion.

Headline earnings per share1 ('HEPS') for the current period is expected to be between
R31 and R36, a decrease of between R94.82 and R99.82 per share compared to HEPS
of R130.82 for the prior period. Headline earnings attributable to the shareholders of the
Group for the current period is likely to be between R4.3 billion and R4.9 billion
(compared to R17.5 billion in the prior period).

These earnings numbers include various once-off, non-cash adjustments related to the
acquisition of the Ensham Business, and the related accounting treatment thereof. The
Group has consolidated 85% of the results of the Ensham Business from the acquisition
date of 31 August 2023.

These EPS and HEPS figures are calculated using a weighted average number of
shares of 137,056,628 for the current period and 133,684,828 for the prior period.

The expected EPS and HEPS ranges for the current period are summarised in the table
below:

Expected EPS/HEPS Expected decrease from Expected decrease from
range (Rand per share) prior period prior period
(Rand per share) (%)
EPS 34.00 - 39.00 88.08 - 93.08 69 - 73
HEPS 31.00 - 36.00 94.82 - 99.82 72 - 76

Key areas of judgement which may impact the expected EPS and HEPS figures above
are in the process of being finalised, and any changes to these ranges, if necessary, will
be communicated to shareholders.

Thungela expects to release its financial results for the year ended 31 December 2023
on 18 March 2024. The financial results will be released on the Stock Exchange News
Service of the JSE and the Regulatory News Service of the London Stock Exchange,
and will be accompanied by an investor webinar and conference call on the same date.

The live webinar and conference call will start at 12:00 SAST (10:00 GMT). Details to

As the disclosure of cases of acting in concert may vary due to the specific circumstances (e.g. same or different total
positions of the parties, entering or exiting of acting in concert by a single party) the standard form does not provide for
a specific method how to notify cases of acting in concert.

who should be mentioned:

- in the circumstances foreseen in DTR5.2.1 (b), the natural person or legal entity that acquires the voting rights

xii In case of cash settled instruments the number and percentages of voting rights is to be presented on a delta-adjusted
basis (DTR 5.3.3.A).
xiii If the person subject to the notification obligation is either controlled and/or does control another undertaking then
the second option applies.
xiv The full chain of controlled undertakings starting with the ultimate controlling natural person or legal entity has to be
presented also in the cases, in which only on subsidiary level a threshold is crossed or reached and the subsidiary
undertaking discloses the notification as only in this way will the markets get always the full picture of the group holdings.

Chief Financial Officer's Pre-Close Statement
for the financial year ending 31 December 2023

Operational agility sees Thungela confirm its full year 2023 guidance despite continued
rail challenges, while also achieving higher than expected production at Ensham

Dear Stakeholder

As we approach the end of 2023, we are proud to report that we have demonstrated
resilience in the face of external challenges, made substantial progress in executing our
strategic objectives, and continued to live up to our purpose - to responsibly create
value together for a shared future.

Based on the Group's performance for the period 1 January 2023 to 30 November 2023
("the year to date"(1)), we are set to achieve the full-year guidance metrics as outlined in
our 2023 interim results released in August 2023.

The following are the key insights into our performance for the year to date and our
expectations for the financial year ending 31 December 2023.

• Energy demand reduced in Europe, China and much of Asia following the
milder 2023 Northern Hemisphere winter. This reduction in demand was further
exacerbated by already high coal and gas stock levels in key import hubs.
Inventory levels in the main coal supply hubs increased due to the low demand in
Europe, with more producers shifting their focus to the Asian-Pacific market.
Energy prices, including the price of coal, remain volatile and susceptible to
ongoing geopolitical tensions.

• Benchmark coal prices softened markedly in 2023 following the record levels
observed in 2022. The Richards Bay Benchmark coal price(2) has averaged
USD122.88/tonne for the year to date, compared to USD270.87/tonne for FY
2022. The Newcastle Benchmark coal price(3) has averaged USD175.15/tonne for
the year to date, compared to USD360.19/tonne for FY 2022.

• Discount to the Richards Bay Benchmark coal price has been approximately
15% for the year to date, compared to 15% for FY 2022 and 18% for H1 2023.
Discounts in the second half of the year narrowed as prices retracted. The
average realised export price for product sold ex-Richards Bay Coal Terminal
("RBCT") for the year to date is USD104.85/tonne, compared to
USD229.21/tonne for FY 2022.

• The premium achieved by Ensham to the Newcastle Benchmark coal price
has been approximately 10.4% from completion of the acquisition on 31 August
2023 through to 30 November 2023. This premium is due primarily to the
composition of the Ensham sales book which includes volumes sold at fixed
prices. The average realised price for product from Ensham is USD153.44/tonne
for the same period.

• Export saleable production relating to our South African operations is
expected to be 12.1Mt for FY 2023, marginally higher than the mid-point of the
guidance range of 11.5Mt to 12.5Mt issued in August 2023. The removal of three
underground sections in response to poor rail performance resulted in a
decrease of 7.6% compared to the prior year (FY 2022: 13.1Mt).

• Export saleable production at Ensham(4) for FY 2023 is expected to be 2.9Mt
(on a 100% basis), higher than the expectation of 2.7Mt that prevailed upon
completion of the acquisition - this increase is primarily due to an enhanced focus
on productivity. The attributable export saleable production from Ensham for the
Group in FY 2023 is expected to be 0.8Mt - this represents 85% of the total
production for the four months from completion of the acquisition to the end of
the year (refer to Annexure A).

• FOB cost per export tonne excluding royalties for the South African
operations for FY 2023 is expected to be at the low end of the revised guidance
range of R1,120 to R1,200/tonne issued in August 2023 - this is due to higher-
than-expected domestic revenue offsets and a positive movement in the non-
cash rehabilitation provisions. Including royalties, the FOB cost per export tonne
is expected to be at the low end of the revised guidance range of R1,170 to
R1,250/tonne.

• FOB cost per export tonne excluding royalties at Ensham(5)is expected to be
approximately R1,947/tonne for the period from completion through to the end of
the year (refer to Annexure A). Including royalties, the FOB cost per export tonne
is expected to be R2,342/tonne.

• Export equity sales for the South African operations are expected to be
relatively stable year-on-year with 12.1Mt for FY 2023, compared to 12.2Mt in FY
2022.

• Export equity sales for Ensham4 are expected to be 3.0Mt for FY 2023. The
Group expects to recognise 1.2Mt of sales, representing 100% of the sales in the
four months following completion of the transaction (refer to Annexure A).

• Capital expenditure for the South African operations for FY 2023 is expected
to be R3.0 billion, at the lower end of the guidance range. This consists of
R1.4 billion relating to sustaining capital and R1.6 billion relating to expansionary
capital for the Elders and Zibulo North Shaft projects.

• Capital expenditure at Ensham for FY 2023 is expected to be R1.0 billion (on a
100% basis) - this relates to sustaining capex only. The Group is expected to
recognise R0.3 billion which represents the attributable capital expenditure
incurred in the period from completion through to the end of the year on an 85%
basis (refer to Annexure A).

• The Group had a net cash position of R10.5 billion on 30 November 2023. In
December 2023 we received the Ensham economic benefit deed payment of
R0.8 billion. We also expect to pay R2.1 billion in taxes and royalties in South
Africa in December 2023. Taking into account these movements, as well as
expected cash generation from operations and capital spend for December, net
cash is expected to be approximately R9.6 billion at the end of 2023.

Managing the impact of continued poor rail performance

The inconsistent and poor Transnet rail performance continued to weigh heavily on the
South African coal mining industry and indeed on the Group's results in the second half
of the year. The annualised industry run rate dropped from 48.0Mtpa in H1 2023 to
45.9Mtpa in the second half of the year through to the end of November 2023. This
results in an annualised run rate of 47.0Mtpa for the year to date, below the 50.3Mt
railed in 2022.

The deterioration in the second half of the year has been primarily attributable to an
increase in security related issues as well as locomotive failures. The coal industry,
including Thungela, continues to work closely with Transnet to remedy the security
situation and has been supporting Transnet through additional security coverage since
November 2023. A sustainable solution is dependent on the procurement of spares for
the locomotives supplied by the Chinese locomotive supplier CRRC, either directly from
CRRC, or from alternative suppliers. Thungela and the coal industry recognises the
need for urgent intervention and RBCT (on behalf of the industry) has placed orders
with alternative suppliers for critical locomotive spares. Transnet is also in the process
of procuring locomotive spares from alternative equipment manufacturers.

In response to the continued rail underperformance, we curtailed production at three
underground sections earlier this year and instituted free-on-truck sales in order to
better manage stockpile capacity at our operations. We continued to truck coal from our
operations to nearby sidings, allowing for further rail loading options and reducing the
risk of train cancellations. The wider distribution pattern and our rapid load-out terminals
are physical infrastructure advantages which allow us to benefit from additional trains
when TFR experiences problems on certain sections elsewhere on the line. As a result,
the Group expects to rail 12.0Mt in 2023.

Update on the Ensham acquisition

Earlier this year, we announced the acquisition of the Ensham thermal coal mine in
Queensland Australia, marking a significant milestone on our journey to geographic
diversification, and we successfully completed the transaction on 31 August 2023.

It was imperative that the acquisition be value accretive for shareholders and the
transaction was structured to enable Thungela to benefit from the economics of the
Ensham Business from the lock-box date of 1 January 2023 through to completion. We
are pleased to report that the Group has received R0.8 billion in cash through this
mechanism, higher than initial estimates. Together with the final closing adjustments,
this results in a reduction in the purchase price of the Ensham Business from the initial
R4.1 billion, to approximately R3.2 billion.

The acquisition substantially increases Thungela's coal resource base and provides
access to new markets, notably Japan, as well as exposure to the Newcastle
Benchmark coal price. The Ensham sales book consists of volumes sold against the
Newcastle Benchmark coal price, the Japanese Reference Price as well as fixed price
contracts with large utilities.

Thungela assumed control of the operations on 1 September 2023, resulting in an
enhanced focus on productivity. We are confident that the mine should produce 2.9Mt
(on a 100% basis) in 2023, higher than our initial expectation of 2.7Mt at the time of
completion of the transaction. The integration of Ensham into the Group has progressed
well and we completed the transition of all services from the previous owner on
30 November 2023. Key areas of judgement in relation to the acquisition of the Ensham
Business, and the impact thereof on the financial results for the year, are in the process
of being finalised.

Commitment to capital allocation framework and shareholder returns

In South Africa we also continue to make good progress on the Elders and Zibulo North
Shaft projects which are on track with regard to both the expected completion schedule
and total expected spend. By the end of 2023 we expect to have spent a total of
R1.6 billion on the two projects, with a further R2.8 billion expected to be spent in future
to complete the projects.

While agile operational performance has allowed the Group to navigate challenging rail
and price headwinds this year, a degree of caution pertaining to balance sheet flexibility
remains appropriate as softening coal prices have put the Group on a lower cash
generation trajectory.

Disciplined capital allocation remains a cornerstone of Thungela's strategy, and our
capital allocation strategy continues to be informed by the funding requirements for our
projects as well as the continued uncertainty relating to rail performance. Accordingly,
the board considers it appropriate to maintain a cash buffer of R5 billion as well as to
continue to reserve the cash required for the ongoing execution of the Elders and Zibulo
North Shaft projects.

The board also reaffirms that it is committed to shareholder returns in accordance with
Thungela's stated dividend policy, which is to target a minimum payout of 30% of
adjusted operating free cash flow(6), and the Group's capital allocation framework which
prioritises the return of capital to shareholders while maintaining balance sheet
flexibility.

Our disciplined capital allocation approach, agility and enhanced resilience have served
us well in 2023, enabling us to execute on our strategic priorities, adapt to changing
market conditions and ensure that we are able to continue to create superior returns for
our shareholders in the long-term.

Annexure A: Ensham accounting treatment

As a result of the acquisition, Thungela, through its subsidiary Sungela Holdings,
obtained an 85% interest in the Ensham Business, with the remaining 15% owned by
LX International, through its subsidiary Bowen Investment (Australia).

Thungela holds a 75% interest in Sungela Holdings, with the remaining 25% held by
Audley Energy and Mayfair Corporations Group (the co-investors). The co-investors
purchase of equity in Sungela Holdings was funded through a mezzanine loan provided
by Thungela, which is repayable in February 2025. The co-investors are required to
apply 90% of any distributions from Sungela Holdings towards repayment of the loan.

The results of the Ensham Business have been included in the Thungela Group results
from the date the Group obtained operational control, being 1 September 2023. The
contractual agreements governing the Ensham Business result in Thungela recognising
85% of the results of the mine on a line-by-line basis, including saleable production.
Thungela is responsible for marketing all coal produced by the Ensham Business, and
thus sales volumes are recognised at 100%. Attributable metrics from Ensham
represent the Group's 85% interest therein, other than sales metrics which are at 100%.
The incremental costs relating to the 15% of sales volumes are recognised as coal
purchased from our joint venture partner within operating costs. The results of the
Thungela Group for the year ended 31 December 2022 will not be updated to reflect the
results of the Ensham Business before the date we obtained control thereof.
