1. No share certificates may be dematerialised or rematerialised between Friday, 14 June 2013
   and Friday, 21 June 2013, both days inclusive.

2. Dematerialised shareholders are required to notify their duly appointed CSDP or broker of
   their acceptance of the rights offer in the manner and time stipulated in the agreement
   governing the relationship between the shareholder and his/her CSDP or broker.

3. The CSDP or broker accounts of dematerialised shareholders will be automatically credited
   with new RBA shares to the extent to which they have accepted the rights offer. RBA share
   certificates will be posted, by registered post at the shareholder’s risk, to certificated
   shareholders in respect of the rights offer shares that have been accepted.

4. CSDPs effect payment in respect of dematerialised shareholders on a delivery against
   payment basis.

3. Documentation

It is expected that on 24 June 2013, RBA shall post to every shareholder registered as
such on the record date the letters of allocation in respect of the rights offer,
accompanied by a circular ("the circular") and such other documents as may be required
in terms of the Companies Act, and the Listings Requirements of the JSE. The circular
and letters of allocation will outline the detailed terms and conditions applicable to the
rights offer in addition to other relevant information.

4. Foreign jurisdictions

Any shareholder resident outside the common monetary area who receives the circular
and form of instruction, should obtain advice as to whether any governmental and/or any
other legal consent is required and/or any other formality must be observed to enable
such a subscription to be made in terms of such form of instruction.

The Rights Offer does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which it is illegal to
make such an offer and the circular and form of instruction should not be forwarded or
transmitted by recipients thereof to any person in any territory other than where it is
lawful to make such an offer.

The Rights Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered under the Securities
Act of the United States of America. Accordingly, the rights offer shares may not be
offered, sold, resold, delivered or transferred, directly or indirectly, in or into the United
States or to, or for the account or benefit of, United States persons, except pursuant to
exemptions from the Securities Act. The circular and the accompanying documents are
not being, and must not be, mailed or otherwise distributed or sent in, into or from the
United States. The circular does not constitute an offer of any securities for sale in the
United States or to United States persons.

The rights offer contained in the circular does not constitute an offer in the District of
Colombia, the United States, the Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia,
Japan or in any other jurisdiction in which, or to any person to whom, it would not be
lawful to make such an offer. Non-qualifying shareholders should consult their
professional advisers to determine whether any governmental or other consents are
required or other formalities need to be observed to allow them to take up the rights
offer, or trade their entitlement. Shareholders holding RBA shares on behalf of persons
who are non-qualifying shareholders are responsible for ensuring that taking up the
rights offer, or trading in their entitlements under that offer, do not breach regulations in
the relevant overseas jurisdictions.

To the extent that non-qualifying shareholders are not entitled to participate in the rights
offer as a result of the aforementioned restrictions, the allocated rights in respect of such
non-qualifying shareholders shall revert to RBA who shall be entitled to sell or place
same or failing which such rights will lapse.

5. Dates

The above dates and times are subject to amendment. Details of such amendment will
be released on SENS. A finalisation announcement is expected to be published on 6
June 2013.
