11 Fuel cells Electrification of vehicle power train to include a range of hybrids, batteries and fuel cells Batteries are a good supplier of power but a weak store of energy while hydrogen tanks are a weak source of power but a good store of energy Nissan Leaf (BEV): 11kW and 151 miles* Toyota Mirai (FEC): 114kW and 312 miles* Tesla Model S (BEV): 311kW and 33 miles* Fuel cell vehicles to be included in electrification mix Initial penetration to come from depot-structured filling infrastructure Fuel cell technology is an integral part of our powertrain strategy. The advantages are very clear to us: zero emissions, long ranges and short tanking times... Christian Mohrdieck, Daimler's Fuel Cell Director We believe fuel-cell vehicles remain the ultimate type of zero-emission vehicle. Honda CEO Takahiro Hachigo (June 217) *Johnson Matthey Battery electric technology has paved the way for fuel cell development 11

17 Ounces () Platinum primary supply Capital underinvestment by South African PGM producers (c.7% of global primary platinum supply) since 28 global financial crisis insufficient to replace current production levels Without incentive-driven price growth, new supply coming on-stream seems unlikely or delayed South African primary production expected to decline by 13% by 225 (-1.5% CAGR) No new production expected from the western limb without a real basket price escalation exceeding 2-25%. western limb represents more than 7% of South African supply South African capital expenditure Primary platinum supply South Africa Russian Sales North America Zimbabwe Other Sources: SBG Securities and Johnson Matthey, SFA Oxford, company estimates Supply declines driven by low basket prices 17

18 Ounces () Palladium primary supply Supply expected to decline over forecast period on the back of a decline in South African production Russian and North American supply expected to remain stable Primary palladium supply South Africa Russian Sales North America Zimbabwe Other Source: Johnson Matthey, SFA Oxford, WPIC, company estimates Palladium supply constant, driven primarily by regions where basket prices are not platinum dependent 18

20 Ounces () Platinum supply deficit on the horizon Despite ongoing diesel and EV concerns, platinum s fundamentals remain robust limited primary and secondary supply growth anticipated globally significant producer capital underinvestment has resulted in long-term South Africa primary producer supply instability demand is well supported, even in weakening diesel markets Platinum likely to be marginally in surplus for the remainder of this decade, thereafter reverting to material deficit as primary production from South Africa contracts Platinum balance A 212A 217A 222E Surplus / (Deficit) Ex-ETF market balance Pt Price (US $ / oz) (rhs) Jewellery sensitivity Source: Internal demand and supply model based on WPIC information, broker consensus and other sources Despite declining diesel market share and EV concerns, we remain fundamentally bullish 2

22 grams per vehicle grams per vehicle Substitution from palladium to platinum We believe that it is inevitable that there will be substitution from palladium to platinum In our view, significant substitution unlikely in the short term (< two three years) Requires sustained (c.4 $/oz) price gap (OEM) several years to develop, implement and licence (OEM) Fabricators suggest technically feasible but timeous.. Recyclers claim to be seeing substitution already occurring in after market exhaust systems Our assumptions are modelled on substitution trends observed in 199s Substitution reduces platinum's sensitivity to diesel Average PGM loadings pre substitution Average PGM loadings post substitution A 213A 216A 219E 222E 225E Platinum Pt Palladium Rhodium. 21A 213A 216A 219E 222E 225E Pt Platinum Palladium Rhodium Source: Johnson Matthey, SFA Oxford, company estimates Supply pressures, technology and legislation will drive substitution rates 22
