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

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

With effect from 1 April 2012, local dividends 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.

Please note that DWT is not applicable to this distribution as the dividends received by the
NEWFUNDS SHARIAH TOP 40 INDEX ETF were not subject to DWT as they were
declared prior to the effective date of DWT.
Investors wishing to reinvest the cash amount received may do so via their usual investment
process, the amount received will not be automatically reinvested
