Notes
1. All times indicated above are local times in South Africa.
2. Dematerialised unitholders are required to notify their duly appointed CSDP or broker of their election in terms of
    the odd-lot offer, and whether to sell or retain their odd-lot holding, subject to note 4 below, in the manner and at
    the time stipulated in the agreement governing the relationship between them and their CSDP or broker.
3. In the case of certificated odd-lot holders who elect to sell their linked units in terms of the odd-lot offer or who
    make no election, payment shall be made either by:
    - electronic funds transfer into the bank accounts of odd-lot holders on or about Monday, 3 June 2013 if such
         holders’ banking details have been provided in the form of election and surrender; or
    - by cheque which will be posted at the risk of the odd-lot holder concerned on or about Monday, 3 June 2013
         if such holders’ banking details have not been provided in the form of election and surrender.
4. Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election not to sell their odd-lot holding in terms of the odd-lot

The offer price is an amount equal to the five day volume weighted average price of a Vukile linked unit immediately
prior to the finalisation date, being Tuesday, 14 May 2013. Accordingly, the offer price is R19.79 per linked unit acquired
under the odd-lot offer comprising:

-   39.58 cents in respect of the share portion of the linked unit acquired (i.e. 10 cents/R5.00 times the offer price of
    R19.79 per linked unit); and
-   the balance in respect of the debenture portion of the linked unit acquired.

The offer price of 39.58 cents in respect of the share portion of the linked unit acquired under the odd-lot offer, payable to
odd-lot holders in terms of the odd-lot offer will be paid out of, in the first instance, share capital and share premium of up
to R56,1 million (ie contributed tax capital) in the same ratio that the odd-lot shares (as part of linked units) repurchased
under the odd-lot offer bears to the entire issued share capital of the company and thereafter retained earnings.

Accordingly, the offer price in respect of the share portion of the linked unit acquired under the odd-lot offer of 39.58
cents will be paid out of contributed tax capital of 13 cents per share (based on the number of ordinary shares in issue of
431 040 219) and retained earnings of 26.58 cents per share. The difference between the offer price attributable to the
share portion of the linked unit (39.58 cents per share) and the contributed tax capital ( 13 cents per share) being 26.58
cents per share constitutes a dividend in terms of paragraph (b) of the definition of dividend contained in section 1 of the
Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962, as amended.

The gross dividend portion per share acquired by the company pursuant to the odd-lot offer is 26.58 cents per share
(being, the offer price in respect of the share portion of the linked unit (39.58 cents per share) less the amount of
contributed tax capital (13 cents per share)) for shareholders exempt from paying dividends’ withholding tax. In this
instance, the full offer price of 39.58 cents per share will be received by such shareholders in respect of the odd-lot share
repurchased under the odd-lot offer.

The net dividend portion per share acquired by the company pursuant to the odd-lot offer for shareholders liable to pay the
dividends’ withholding tax is 22.593 cents per share (being, the offer price in respect of the share portion of the linked
unit (39.58 cents per share) less the amount of contributed tax capital (13 cents per share less the dividends’ tax of 15%
on that difference (3.987 cents per share). In this instance, the offer price of 35.593 cents per share will be received by
such shareholders in respect of the odd-lot share repurchased under the odd-lot offer.

The acquisition of the debentures by the company should be distinguished from the acquisition of the shares by the
company, which together comprise a linked unit. The debentures are to be reacquired by the company at a premium to
their face value or issue price on the basis that no portion of this purchase consideration will constitute a dividend. The
offer price in relation to the debentures (being, an amount of R19.79 less 39.58 cents) will be funded out of existing cash
reserves of the company.
