Record Date                                      Thursday, 24 March

Certificated holders of preference shares may not dematerialise or
rematerialise their preference share certificates between Thursday,
17 March 2016 and Thursday, 24 March 2016, both days inclusive.

The dividend has been declared from income reserves.

A dividend withholding tax of 15% will be applicable to all
shareholders who are not exempt. The net dividend thus amounts to
372.81425 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.
