On payment date, dividends due to holders of certificated securities on the SA share register will either be electronically transferred to such shareholders’ bank accounts or, in the absence of suitable mandates, dividends will be held in escrow by the Company until suitable mandates are received to electronically transfer dividends to such shareholders. Dividends in respect of dematerialised shareholdings will be credited to such shareholders’ accounts with the relevant Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker. To comply with the further requirements of Strate and the JSE, between Wednesday, 8 March 2023 and Friday, 10 March 2023, both days inclusive, no transfers between the SA share register and any other share register will be permitted and no ordinary shares pertaining to the SA share register may be dematerialised or rematerialised.

The holders of American Depositary Receipts (“ADRs") should confirm dividend details with the depository bank. Assuming an exchange rate of R17.00/$1, the net dividend payable on an ADR is equivalent to 9 United States cents per ADR for ADR holders liable to pay dividend withholding tax. However, the actual rate of payment will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion.
