special dividend of 90 cents per share to Shareholders in an aggregate amount of R156 181 208,40 (the "Special
Dividend"), subject to certain conditions (the "Distribution Conditions") as set out in the Circular being fulfilled.
TAXATION CONSIDERATIONS RELATING TO THE SPECIAL DIVIDEND AND VOLUNTARY WINDING-UP
Neither the declaration of the Special Dividend nor the Voluntary Winding-Up will have any South African tax consequences
for the Company such that it will, as a result of those actions, be required to pay tax other than the tax that may ordinarily
arise for the Company as a registered taxpayer in South Africa.
The Circular contains a description of certain aspects of South African tax law relating to the Special Dividend and the
Voluntary Winding-Up as it may pertain to Shareholders. It is not intended to be, nor should it be considered as, legal or
taxation advice. Tax legislation is subject to frequent change and accordingly the comments set out in the Circular may be
subject to change, possibly with retrospective effect. Shareholders should consult their own professional advisors with
regard to the tax implications arising in respect of the Special Dividend and Voluntary Winding-Up. Shareholders who do
not constitute a "resident" as defined in the Income Tax Act are advised to consult their own professional advisors to
ascertain the tax treatment of the Special Dividend and the Voluntary Winding-Up in their country of tax residence, having
regard inter alia to any applicable DTA between South Africa and their country of tax residence.
