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, a distribution
amount of 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 will be subject
to DWT at a current rate of 15% except where an investor is exempt or qualifies for a
reduced rate of DWT. Even where a re-investment occurs, there is a notional
distribution to the investors which could result in the withholding of dividends tax to
the extent that the distribution comprises of dividends.

The ETF will declare a gross distribution to investors. The net distribution amount
(after the deduction of DWT at a current rate of 15%) will be re-invested in the ETF
on behalf of investors through the purchase of additional Constituent Securities (as
defined in the relevant Portfolio Supplement) in the appropriate weightings, thereby
increasing the net asset value of the ETF and, proportionately increasing the value of
each ETF security. As a consequence of reinvesting the net distribution amount (after
the deduction of DWT), the ETF will be tracking the relevant total return net-of-
dividend tax index.

The dividends tax amount withheld will be paid to the South African Revenue Service
in respect of investors that are not exempt from dividends tax. The payment of
dividends tax will be made by the relevant intermediary, being the Central Securities
Depository Participant ("CSDP") or Broker nominee company which is the final
regulated intermediary in terms of the Income Tax Act.

Investors exempt from DWT, or holders qualifying for a reduced rate per Double Tax
Agreement ("DTA") will receive, in cash, the amount equal to the applicable DWT,
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.

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