RESULTS OF THE SCRIP DISTRIBUTION AND THE CASH DIVIDEND
ALTERNATIVE

Shareholders are referred to the Company’s unaudited interim
financial results for the six months ended 31 March 2016, released
on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 11 May 2016, in
which they were advised that Life’s board of directors had
resolved to declare an interim Scrip Distribution of ordinary Life
shares, incorporating the entitlement to elect to receive instead
a Cash Dividend of 73 cents per ordinary Life share.

The ratio applicable to the Scrip Distribution entitlement was
announced on SENS on 2 June 2016, being 1,97479 Scrip Distribution
shares for every 100 ordinary Life shares held on the Record Date,
being Friday, 17 June 2016.

If the application of this ratio gives rise to a fraction of an
ordinary Life share, such fraction of a new ordinary Life share
will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in
allocations of whole ordinary Life shares and a cash payment for
the fraction.

In terms of the Scrip Distribution, 9 338 588 new ordinary shares
were issued today to Shareholders who did not elect to receive the
Cash Dividend in respect of all or part of their shareholding,
resulting in a capitalisation of the distributable retained
profits of the Company of R345 209 872.92. Shareholders recorded
in the register of the Company at the close of business on the
Record Date holding 575 571 196 ordinary shares elected to receive
the gross Cash Dividend of 73 cents per ordinary share, resulting
in a total gross Cash Dividend of R420 166 973.08 which was paid
out of the distributable retained profits of the Company. Share
certificates, where applicable, were dispatched to certificated
Shareholders at their own risk, and the Cash Dividend payments
were made/Central Securities Depository Participant/broker
accounts of dematerialised Shareholders were credited, today.
