prevailing on Wednesday, 20 July 2016.

The rate of exchange determined on Wednesday, 20 July 2016 for converting to

71.1960 UK pence per share.

The rate of exchange determined on Wednesday, 20 July 2016 for converting to
South African Rand is US$:ZAR = 14.341998 resulting in an equivalent final

final dividend amount of 1,344.56231 SA cents per share at a rate of 15%, unless
a shareholder qualifies for an exemption; shareholders registered on the
Johannesburg register who do not qualify for an exemption will therefore receive
a net dividend of 1,142.87796 SA cents per share. The dividend is payable in
