DEALING IN SECURITIES
In compliance with paragraphs 3.63 - 3.74 of the Listings
Requirements of JSE Limited, shareholders are advised that Gold
Fields Limited has granted, on 1 March 2010 (“the Grant Date”),
Share Appreciation Rights (“SARS”) and conditional Performance
Vesting Restricted Shares (“PVRS”) to Mr C Farrel, the Company
Secretary, as set out below. This offer was accepted by him on
22 September 2010.
SARS are offered at a fixed strike price, vest after three years
and participants have a further three years in which to exercise
the SARS. The value of the SARS which a participant may exercise
will be the difference between the fair market value at the date
of exercise and the fair market value on the allocation date.
PVRS are offered at a zero strike price. In terms of the Plan,
certain performance criteria have been imposed, which must be
satisfied before the settlement of any PVRS to the participant.
The criteria shall be measured over the three year measurement
period. The target performance criteria have been set at a
percentage of the Company’s expected gold production over the
three year measurement period. In addition, the number of PVRS
to be settled may be increased by up to 300% of the number of
PVRS conditionally awarded to the participant, depending on the
performance of the Company relative to its peer group.
