Register
Notes:
For Shareholders who are recorded on the SA Register, the following applies:
- The JSE has introduced Strate for all settlements of share transactions concluded on the JSE, and this
has already been implemented by the Company. Accordingly, share certificates representing Ordinary
Shares in the Company must first be dematerialised before Shareholders on the SA Register will be able
to trade the Ordinary Shares in the Company. Shareholders on the SA Register are advised to contact a
CSDP or broker to make the necessary practical arrangements for dematerialisation. It is anticipated that
the dematerialisation of the Company's Ordinary Shares may take up to a maximum of ten business days
to be finalised once a Shareholder has made the necessary arrangements with the CSDP or broker.
- No transfers between registers may take place between Thursday, 30 May 2013 and Tuesday, 18 June
2013 (both dates inclusive).
