(a)The change in estimate relates mainly to a change in the assumptions due to the potential preserved claims, which
resulted in an increase of the estimated obligation as at 30 June 2025. This was offset due to the availability of
actual exit data and an adjustment to the take-up rate.
(b)These payments comprise of the administration and benefit contributions to the Tshiamiso Trust. Harmony had
surplus funds available in the Tshiamiso Trust therefore no further benefit contributions have been made during the
2025 year per instruction of the Tshiamiso Trust.
Disclosure of the Impact of a Reasonable Change in Certain Key Assumptions The impact
of these reasonable possible changes on the assumptions would not have a material impact on the balance.

(b)Retirement benefit obligation continued
(a)During September 2024, Harmony transferred a once-off amount of R350 million to RMA as a single premium for
the transfer of the economic and financial risk associated with the liability of R294 million. Harmony and RMA have
fulfilled all the relevant clauses per the contract, and the liability was transferred to RMA
(b)The net actuarial loss for 2024 is mainly due to a lower net discount rate driven by the low interest rates assumed
and used.
In 2024, management considered whether a reasonably possible change in any of the key assumptions would have a
material impact on the obligation, service cost or finance costs. It was determined that changes would result in an
immaterial increase or decrease.
