Shareholders approved the proposal to tidy up the register at a general meeting on December 1.

"Further to the results of [the] general meeting … shareholders are advised that all conditions precedent to the offers have now been fulfilled and that the offers are accordingly unconditional, and Sibanye-Stillwater will proceed with the implementation of the offers," the company said.

The offers was set to be implemented on December 28.
