Holders of Astrapak preference shares are advised that the salient

redeemable, non-participating, cumulative preference shares in
Astrapak (“preference shares”), in the amount of 351.41992 cents per
preference share for the period between 26 October 2014 and 30 March
2015, will be as follows:

                                                                 2015
Last day to trade                                    Friday, 20 March
Shares commence trading “ex” the preference
share dividend from the commencement of
business on                                          Monday, 23 March
Record date                                          Friday, 27 March
Payment date of the preference share dividend        Monday, 30 March

Certificated holders of preference shares may not dematerialise or
rematerialise their preference share certificates between Monday, 23
March 2015 and Friday, 27 March 2015, both days inclusive.

The dividend has been declared from income reserves and no secondary
tax on companies’ credits has been used.

A dividend withholding tax of 15% will be applicable to all
shareholders who are not exempt. The net dividend thus amounts to
298.70693 cents per share.

The issued share capital at the declaration date is 1,500,000
preference shares.

In the event that there is a change to the prime rate between the
preference share dividend declaration date (“the dividend declaration
date”) and the preference share dividend payment date (“the dividend
payment date”), the prevailing prime rate at the dividend declaration
date will be applied from the dividend declaration date to the
dividend payment date.
The effect of the aforementioned will be that the preference share
dividend will not be adjusted for any changes in the prime rate
between the dividend declaration date and the dividend payment date.
