(South African Shareholders are referred to Annexure 1, which contains
all information relevant to them)
Statement for Australian Shareholders Only
This Explanatory Memorandum has been prepared for the information of Shareholders in relation to
the business to be conducted at the Company’s General Meeting.
The purpose of this Explanatory Memorandum is to provide Shareholders with all information known
to the Company which is material to a decision on how to vote on the Resolution in the
accompanying Notice.
This Explanatory Memorandum should be read in conjunction with the Notice. Capitalised terms
used in the Notice and Explanatory Memorandum are defined in the Definitions.
1. Proxies
Please note that:
(a) a Shareholder entitled to attend and vote at the General Meeting is entitled to appoint
a proxy;
(b) a proxy need not be a member of the Company;
(c) a Shareholder may appoint a body corporate or an individual as its proxy;
(d) a body corporate appointed as a Shareholder’s proxy may appoint an individual as its
representative to exercise any of the powers that the body may exercise as the
Shareholder’s proxy; and
(e) Shareholders entitled to cast two or more votes may appoint two proxies and may
specify the proportion or number of votes each proxy is appointed to exercise, but
where the proportion or number is not specified, each proxy may exercise half of the
votes.
The enclosed Proxy Form provides further details on appointing proxies and lodging Proxy Forms.
If a Shareholder appoints a body corporate as its proxy and the body corporate wishes to appoint an

direct the Chairman how to vote, the Shareholder can expressly authorise the Chairman to vote as
the Chairman thinks fit on Resolution 1 by marking the appropriate box on the Proxy Form even
