DISTRIBUTION IN RESPECT OF ACCRUED INTEREST PAYMENTS FOR THE SIX MONTHS
ENDING 31 AUGUST 2013

Noteholders are advised that a distribution comprising only of accrued interest has been declared
today, Wednesday, 21 August 2013 in respect of the GBP, USD and EURO Notes to holders of those
Notes for the six months ending 31 August 2013, as follows:

Accrued interest in ZAR per GBP Note: 2.00000 cent
Accrued interest in ZAR per USD Note: Rnil*
Accrued interest in ZAR per EURO Note: Rnil*

*Given that accrued ZAR interest for the period since inception of the USD and EURO Notes amounts
to less than 1 cent per security (0.50000 cents in respect of the USD Notes and 0.70000 cents in
respect of the EURO Notes), investors in these Notes are advised that, in accordance with the
Applicable Terms and Conditions of the NewWave Currency Pricing Supplements, the accrued
interest for these Notes will be carried over to the next period (the six months ending 28 February
2014). The Redemption Value of each Note will accordingly reflect any such unpaid accrued interest
subject to the Applicable Terms and Conditions.

accrued interest payments by the above ETNs to holders of the ETN securities for the six months
