Implats entered into a CCIRS amounting to US$200 million to hedge certain aspects of the foreign exchange risk on the US$ convertible bonds, being: exchange rate risk on the dollar interest payments is hedged and the risk of a future cash settlement of the bonds at a rand-dollar exchange rate weaker than R9.24/US$ is hedged. (US$200 million was swapped for R1 848 million on which Implats pays a fixed interest rate to Standard Bank of 5.94%. Implats receives the 1% coupon on the US$200 million on the same date which Implats pay-on externally to the bond holders. At February 2018 Implats will repay the R1 848 million in return of the US$200 million.) 

  The CCIRS with Standard Bank is carried at its fair value of R630 (2014: R332) million. No hedge accounting has been applied.
