Fraction Rate Announcement

VUNANI LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 1997/020641/06)
JSE code: VUN
ISIN: ZAE000110359
("Vunani" or "the company")

FRACTION RATE ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders are referred to the company’s announcement on the Stock Exchange News Service
(“SENS”) dated 1 August 2016, in which the company declared a fully paid capitalisation share issue
award for the 14 months ended 29 February 2016, by way of the issue of fully paid Vunani ordinary
shares in the ratio of 4 ordinary shares of no par value for every 100 ordinary shares of no par value
held, to ordinary shareholders recorded in the Vunani register on the record date, being Friday, 26
August 2016 (“capitalisation share issue award”).

As an alternative, ordinary shareholders will be entitled to elect to receive a gross cash dividend of 6
cents per share in respect of all or part of their shareholdings, which will be paid to those shareholders
who elect to receive the cash dividend, on the record date, Friday 26 August 2016 (“cash dividend
alternative”).

The ratio of entitlement announced on SENS on 1 August 2016, is based on the five day volume
weighted average traded price per Vunani share on the JSE Limited from 18 to 24 May 2016, of 160
cents per share, which will be the issue price per Vunani share (“the issue price”).

Shareholders were advised that where a shareholder’s entitlement to new ordinary shares calculated
in accordance with the capitalisation issue share award formula gives rise to a fraction of a new
ordinary share, such entitlement will be rounded down to the nearest whole number resulting in
allocations of whole securities and a cash payment to the shareholder for the fraction. Any fractional
entitlement payment will also be subject to 15% dividend withholding tax.

The Fraction rate is 148,5 cents per share and has been calculated at 165 cents per share, the volume
weighted average price of a Vunani share traded on the JSE on Wednesday, 24 August 2016 (being the
day on which the Vunani share began trading ‘ex’ the entitlement to receive the capitalisation share
issue award or cash dividend alternative), discounted by 10% in accordance with schedule 18 of the
JSE listings requirements. The net fraction rate paid will be 126,225 cents per share, unless dividend
withholding tax exemptions apply.

Example of fractional entitlement
Assuming a shareholder holds 120 Vunani shares on Tuesday 23 August 2016 (Last day to trade), unless
the shareholder elects to receive cash dividends, the shareholder will receive 120 *4 / 100 = 4.8 shares.
This is rounded down to 4 shares. The fraction of 0.8 shares is paid at the fraction rate 148,5 cents per
share = 118,8 cents per share before a deduction for any dividend withholding tax is applicable.
