FINALISATION INFORMATION REGARDING THE DECLARED CASH DIVIDEND

Shareholders are advised that at the 37th Annual General Meeting of Oando held
at 10:00 Nigerian Time on 27 October 2014, shareholders of the Company approved
the declaration and payment of a N0.30kobo (Thirty Kobo) per share dividend to
holders of ordinary shares whose names appear in the Company’s register of
members of Nigeria as at close of business on 30 September 2014 and for members
of South Africa as at close of business on Friday, 14 November 2014. The
dividend will be paid on 17 November 2014, and will be subject to Nigerian
withholding tax of 10%.

Accordingly, the following finalisation information is provided in respect of
the dividend to South African shareholders:

A gross dividend of N0.30kobo (Thirty Kobo) per share has been declared.

A Nigerian withholding tax of 10% is payable on the dividend by all
shareholders. Accordingly the dividend net of withholding tax is N0.27kobo
(Twenty-seven Kobo) per ordinary share.

South African shareholders who are not exempt from South African Dividend
Withholding Tax (“dividend tax”) will be required to pay the 15% dividend tax
less the 10% Nigerian withholding tax making the net dividend payable to those
shareholders of N0.255kobo ([Twenty-five and a half Kobo) per ordinary share.

The issued share capital of Oando at the finalisation date is 8,869,068,738
ordinary shares.
