Redemption of convertible bonds
Lonmin Plc ("Lonmin") will today issue notice of redemption in respect of the
US$215,795,000 3.75 per cent. Convertible Bonds due 2008 (the "Bonds"), the
effect of which is that all such Bonds will be redeemed for cash on 18
December 2006 unless holders of the Bonds exercise their right of conversion.
The aggregate principal amount of the Bonds outstanding is US$199,455,000.
Holders of bonds have until the close of business in London on 12 December
2006 to avoid redemption by converting bonds into Lonmin ordinary shares at a
conversion price of GBP12.3277 per share, being US$20.4023 based on the fixed
exchange rate of US$1.655 = GBP1 provided for in the Conditions of the Bonds.
For ease of reference, the holder of $1,000 worth of Bonds (being the minimum
denomination) would have the right to receive 49.0141 new ordinary shares in
Lonmin Plc. Taking into account fractions, full conversion would require the
issue of 9,776,109 ordinary shares, meaning that the total number of ordinary
shares in issue assuming full conversion will be 154,052,372.
