Certificated holders of preference shares may not dematerialise or
rematerialise their preference share certificates, between Monday,
21 October 2013 and Friday, 25 October 2013, both days inclusive.

The dividend has been declared from income reserves and no secondary
tax on companies’ credits has been used.

A dividend withholding tax of 15% will be applicable to all
shareholders who are not exempt. The net dividend thus amounts to
330.7928 cents per share.

The issued share     capital   at   the   declaration   date   is   1,500,000
preference shares.

In the event that there is a change to the prime rate between the
preference share dividend declaration date (“the dividend declaration
date”) and the preference share dividend payment date (“the dividend
payment date”), the prevailing prime rate at the dividend declaration
date will be applied from the dividend declaration date to the
dividend payment date.
The effect of the aforementioned will be that the preference share
dividend will not be adjusted for any changes in the prime rate
between the dividend declaration date and the dividend payment date.
