HARMONY REDUCES DEBT AND STRENGTHENS BALANCE SHEET - US$100 MILLION
REPAID ON BRIDGE FACILITY
Johannesburg, Tuesday, 19 June 2018.
Harmony Gold Mining Company Limited (“Harmony” and/or
“the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has
repaid a further US$100 million on the original US$200 million
bridge loan raised for the acquisition of Moab
Khotsong.
Peter Steenkamp,
chief executive officer said “Harmony believes in having a
robust and flexible balance sheet that supports its growth
ambitions. We have used the proceeds from the oversubscribed share
placement announced on 6 June 2018 to repay US$100 million of the
bridge facility. Production at Moab Khotsong in the past three and
a half months support our view that the mine is a quality asset and
it will strengthen Harmony’s cash flows
further”.
The remaining
balance outstanding of US$50 million on the bridge loan is expected
to be repaid from operating cash flows as well as the proceeds from
the share placement to African Rainbow Minerals Limited (which is
subject to approval by shareholders).
Ends.
