Notes

Shareholders with an address elsewhere will be paid in US dollars except those registered on the South African branch register who will be paid in South African rand.

2.  Dividend Tax will be withheld from the amount of the gross dividend paid to South African shareholders at the rate of 20% unless a shareholder qualifies for exemption.

4.  Those shareholders who already participate in the DRIP need not complete a DRIP mandate form for each dividend as such forms provide an ongoing authority to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing.

5.  In terms of the DRIP, and subject to the purchase of shares in the open market, share certificates/CREST notifications are expected to be mailed and CSDP investor accounts credited/updated on or about Tuesday, 10 May 2022. CREST accounts will be credited on Friday, 29 April 2022.
