CE Bernard Swanepoel said that should the company receive approval from the competition authorities to implement its proposed merger with Gold Fields, the realignment will position Harmony to extract the value promised to shareholders and successfully integrate Gold Fields’ assets. “These appointments are in line with our strategic goal to control Gold Fields. Bolstering the team in this manner will ensure that we obtain maximum value from our investment, devote the appropriate and necessary focus and ensure that we have the capacity to run the assets of the combined company,” said Swanepoel. “I want to free-up my time to be responsible to my employees, my shareholders and my Board to deliver what we know we can.” Executive Directors Ferdi Dippenaar and Ted Grobicki will work along side Swanepoel. Ferdi’s Investor Relations role will be filled by a new senior appointment in due course. Graham Briggs, currently Harmony’s country manager in Papua New Guinea, will assume responsibility for the Australasian portfolio, becoming Chief Executive of Harmony Australia. Nomfundo Qangule will remain responsible for her duties as Financial Director. Philip Kotze, Peter Steenkamp and Bob Atkinson will be appointed as Operations Directors for the Long-life, Leveraged and Growth Asset Portfolios respectively. Swanepoel said the new Senior Management appointments demonstrate the calibre and depth of the Harmony management team: “I have every confidence that they will take our company forward and will turn our stated vision into a reality.” Notes to editors Background on new Senior Management appointees and all others Directors are available on the Harmony website, www.harmony.co.za Issued by: Ferdi DippenaarMarketing Director+27(0)82 807 3684 Corné BobbertInvestor Relations OfficerOffice: +27 11 684 0149Mobile: +27(0)72 157 5986cbobbert@harmony.co.za South Africa – Beachhead Media & Investor Relations Jennifer CohenOffice: +27 11 214 2401 Mobile: +27 82 468 6469 jennifer@bmsa.co.za Patrick LawlorOffice: +27 11 214 2410 Mobile: +27 82 459 6709 patrick@bmsa.co.za United States – Financial Dynamics Business Communications Hollis Rafkin-Sax+1 212 850 5789+1 917 509 0255hrafkin-sax@fd-us.com Torie Pennington+1 212 850 5629+1 917 838 1369tpennington@fd-us.com United Kingdom – Financial Dynamics Business Communications Nic Bennett+44 207 269 7115+44 7979 536 619nic.bennett@fd.com Charles Watenphul+44 207 269 7216 +44 7866 438 013charles.watenphul@fd.com US Information Agent – MacKenzie Partners, Inc Daniel Burch+1 212 929 5500proxy@mackenziepartners.com Steve Balet+1 800 322 2885
