4. FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
4.1 Any shareholder resident outside the common monetary area who
receives the circular and form of instruction, should obtain advice
as to whether any governmental and/or any other legal consent is
required and/or any other formality must be observed to enable such
a subscription to be made in terms of such form of instruction.
4.2 The claw-back offer does not constitute an offer in any
jurisdiction in which it is illegal to make such an offer and the
circular and form of instruction should not be forwarded or
transmitted by recipients thereof to any person in any territory
other than where it is lawful to make such an offer.
4.3 The claw-back offer shares have not been and will not be registered
under the Securities Act of the United States of America.
Accordingly, the claw-back offer shares may not be offered, sold,
resold, delivered or transferred, directly or indirectly, in or
into the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of,
United States persons, except pursuant to exemptions from the
Securities Act. The circular and the accompanying documents are not

an offer in the District of Colombia, the United States, the
Dominion of Canada, the Commonwealth of Australia, Japan or in any

consult their professional advisers to determine whether any
governmental or other consents are required or other formalities
need to be observed to allow them to take up the claw-back offer,
or trade their entitlement. Shareholders holding Beige shares on
behalf of persons who are non-qualifying shareholders are
responsible for ensuring that taking up the claw-back offer, or
trading in their entitlements under that offer, do not breach
regulation in the relevant overseas jurisdictions.
4.5 To the extent that non-qualifying shareholders are not entitled to
participate in the claw-back offer as a result of the
aforementioned restrictions, the allocated entitlement in respect
of such non-qualifying shareholders shall lapse.
