Gold Fields Limited
(Reg. No. 1968/004880/06)
Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
JSE, NYSE, DIFX Share Code: GFI
ISIN Code: ZAE000018123
(‘Gold Fields’ or the ‘Company’ or the ‘Group’)

STATEMENT REGARDING PRESS SPECULATION ON THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION WITH GOLD
ROAD RESOURCES LIMITED AND FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT

Gold Fields notes the recent media speculation and subsequent trading halt
announcement made by Gold Road Resources Limited (‘Gold Road’) in relation
to a potential change of control transaction.

Further to the announcement on 24 March 2025 regarding the non-binding,
indicative and conditional proposal to acquire 100% of the issued and
outstanding share capital of Gold Road by way of an Australian scheme of
arrangement (the ‘Proposed Transaction’), Gold Fields confirms that it is
in active discussions with Gold Road regarding the Proposed Transaction.

Given the nature of the Proposed Transaction, there can be no certainty that
engagement will materialize in a transaction being successfully concluded
and, accordingly, Gold Fields shareholders are advised to continue
exercising caution when dealing in Gold Fields securities until any further
announcement is published.
