Notes:
(1) All times indicated above are local times in South Africa;
(2) No Dematerialisation or rematerialisation may take place after Friday, 31 May 2013.
(3) Dematerialised shareholders are required to notify their duly appointed CSDP or broker of their choice in terms of the odd-
    lot offer, and whether to sell or retain their shares, subject to note 6 below, in the manner and at the time stipulated in the
    agreement governing the relationship between them and their CSDP or broker;
(4) In the case of certificated odd-lot holders who choose to sell their shares in terms of the odd-lot offer, payment shall be made
    either by:
    a. electronic funds transfer into the bank accounts of shareholders on or about Monday, 10 June 2013 if such holder’s
          banking details have been provided in the form of election and surrender; or
    b. by cheque which will be posted at the risk of shareholders on or about Monday, 10 June 2013 if such holder’s banking
          details have not been provided in the form of election and surrender;
(5) Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election in terms of the odd-lot offer will automatically be regarded as having
    chosen to sell their odd-lot holding.

The offer price of R 16.64 per share will be paid out of contributed tax capital of R6.12 per share (based on the number of
ordinary shares in issue of 118 840 929) and retained earnings of R10.52 per share.

To the extent that the offer price is paid out of retained earnings it will constitute 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. Since this is not a general
repurchase, the exclusion contained in paragraph (b)(iii) of the same definition will not apply.

The local dividends tax rate is 15%. Provided certain formalities are met, certain shareholders will be exempted from dividends
tax. Amongst others, shareholders that are South African tax resident companies and collective investment schemes that will also
be the beneficial owners of the dividend will have the exemption from dividends tax available to them.

The gross dividend portion per share acquired by CIG pursuant to the odd-lot offer is R10.52 per share for shareholders exempt
from paying dividends withholding tax thus resulting in payment of R16.64 per odd-lot share repurchased under the odd-lot offer.

The net dividend portion per share acquired by CIG pursuant to the odd-lot offer for shareholders liable to pay the dividends tax of
R1.578 is R8.942 per share thus resulting in payment of R15.062 per odd-lot share repurchased under the odd-lot offer.

CIG’s tax reference number is 9259456169.

Shareholders are advised to obtain independent tax advice in relation to the implications of the offer price received pursuant to the
odd-lot offer.
