SPECIAL DIVIDEND DECLARATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the announcement published on SENS by the
Company on 16 April 2014, relating to the settlement agreement concluded
between   the   Company  and   PricewaterhouseCoopers  Incorporated (“the
Settlement”) and the voluntary circular dated 30 April 2014 setting out the
full particulars of the Settlement and convening a general meeting of
shareholders (“the General Meeting”).

Shareholders are further referred to the announcement published on SENS by
the Company on 30 May 2014, whereby shareholders were advised that the
requisite majority of shareholders approved all resolutions relating to the
Settlement at the General Meeting.

On 26 June 2014, the Company received payment of R150 million from
PricewaterhouseCoopers.

After consideration of the cash position of the Company, as a result of the
Settlement, the directors have approved and declared a gross special cash
dividend of 225 cents from income reserves, equating to approximately R161
million in aggregate.

No secondary tax on companies credits are available to be utilised by the
Company for the special dividend. The final dividend amount, net of South
African dividend tax of 15% which equates to 33.75 cents per share, is
therefore 191.25 cents per share for those shareholders that are not exempt
from dividend tax.

The number of ordinary shares in issue at the declaration date                     is
74 585 065, and the income tax number of the company is 9042/001/60/3.

The salient dates of this special dividend distribution are:
