INFORMATION REGARDING THE DECLARED INTERIM CASH DIVIDEND FOR THE PERIOD ENDED
30 JUNE 2014

Shareholders are advised that the board of directors of the Company has
declared a NGN0.70kobo (Seventy Kobo) per share interim dividend to holders of
ordinary shares whose names appear in the Company’s register of members of
Nigeria as at close of business on 17 November 2014, and for members of South
Africa as at close of business on Friday, 12 December 2014. The interim
dividend will be paid on Monday, 15 December 2014, and will be subject to
Nigerian withholding tax of 10%.

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

A gross interim dividend of NGN0.70kobo (Seventy Kobo) per share has been
declared. A Nigerian withholding tax of 10% is payable on the interim dividend
by all shareholders. Accordingly the interim dividend net of withholding tax is
NGN0.63kobo (Sixty-three Kobo) per ordinary share.

South African shareholders who are not exempt from South African interim
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 NGN0.595kobo (fifty nine and a half Kobo) per
ordinary share.

The issued share capital of Oando at the declaration date is 9,084,693,738
ordinary shares.
