DISTRIBUTION IN RESPECT OF ACCRUED INTEREST PAYMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS
ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2013

Further to the announcement published on SENS on Friday, 8 February 2013, a distribution
comprising only of accrued interest has been declared today, Monday, 4 March 2013 in respect of the
GBP, USD and EURO Notes to holders of those Notes for the six months ended 28 February 2013,
as follows:

Accrued interest in ZAR per GBP Note: 1.00000 cent

Accrued interest in ZAR per USD Note: Rnil*

Accrued interest in ZAR per EURO Note: Rnil*

*Given that accrued ZAR interest for the period since inception of the USD and EURO Notes amounts
to less than 1 cent per security (0.20000 cents in respect of the USD Notes and 0.60000 cents in
respect of the EURO Notes), investors in these Notes are advised that, in accordance with the
Applicable Terms and Conditions of the NewWave Currency Pricing Supplements, the accrued
interest for these Notes will be carried over to the next period (the six months ending 31 August
2013). The Redemption Value of each Note will accordingly reflect any such unpaid accrued interest
subject to the Applicable Terms and Conditions.

The distribution in respect of the GBP Notes will be paid on 8 March 2013.

Investors are advised that no dividend tax will be applicable to the distribution amount, given that it
comprises interest and not dividends.
