The distribution will be paid on Tuesday, 24 July 2012 to all holders recorded on the register on
Friday, 29 June 2012.

1
    Not subject to DWT as applicable to period before DWT was introduced.

2
    Subject to DWT as applicable to period after DWT was introduced.

3
    Investors should seek advice from their tax advisor on whether the tax and rate shown is applicable to them.

4
    Investors qualifying for a reduced rate per Double Tax Agreement ("DTA") will receive, in cash, the gross
distribution amount less the applicable reduced DWT, provided they have completed and timeously lodged with
the relevant intermediary the prescribed declaration and undertaking form. Failure to do so will result in the
dividends tax being withheld in full.


EFFECT OF THE NEW DIVIDEND WITHHOLDING TAX ("DWT") ON DISTRIBUTION
AMOUNTS:

With effect from 1 April 2012, all local and certain foreign dividends paid to investors are subject to
DWT at a current rate of 15% except where an investor is exempt or qualifies for a reduced rate of
DWT.

Investors exempt from DWT, or holders qualifying for a reduced rate per Double Tax Agreement
("DTA") will receive in cash (if any), the gross distribution amount or the gross distribution amount
less the DWT at the applicable reduced rate respectively from their relevant intermediary, provided
they have completed and timeously lodged with their relevant intermediary the prescribed
declaration and undertaking form. Failure to do so will result in dividends tax being withheld in full.

Where an investor is not exempt from DWT, the DWT withheld from the gross distribution (if any)
will be paid to the South African Revenue Service ("SARS"), by the relevant Central Securities
Depository Participant ("CSDP") or Broker nominee company, which is the final regulated
intermediary in terms of the ITA (the “relevant intermediary”). The remaining distribution (the
gross distribution less the amount withheld for dividend tax) will be paid in cash to investors by
their relevant intermediary.

Investors wishing to reinvest the cash amount received may do so via their usual investment
process, the amount received will not be automatically reinvested.
