Business Context and Reporting Period
This Form 6-K filing by Gold Fields Limited, dated 28 March 2024, serves as a report of a foreign private issuer. The filing does not contain operational results for the period ended 31 December 2023 but instead incorporates amended and restated ZAR revolving credit facility agreements by reference into the company's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2023.
Key Financial Metrics
The filing text does not provide a clear value for revenue, profit, cash flow, margins, debt levels, or liquidity metrics. The document is exclusively focused on the legal documentation of credit facilities.

Investor Verification Points
- Verify the specific terms of the amended credit facilities (interest rates, covenants, and maturity dates) in the full Form 20-F annual report.
- Confirm the total aggregate capacity of the ZAR revolving credit facilities following these amendments.
- Review the Form 20-F for the year ended 31 December 2023 to obtain actual financial performance data, as this 6-K does not include it.
