FURTHER TRADING STATEMENT


In terms of the Listings Requirements of JSE Limited, companies are required to publish a trading
statement as soon as they become reasonably certain that the financial results for the period to be
reported on will differ by more than 20% from that of the previous corresponding period.

Further to the trading statement released on SENS on 12 August 2016, a review of the financial results
for the year ended 30 June 2016 by management has indicated that the earnings per share (“EPS”) and
the headline earnings per share (“HEPS”) will show an improved position to that which was previously
announced. It is now anticipated that:

-   the EPS is expected to be between 12.67 cents and 13.60 cents (previously announced as between
    10.81 cents and 12.67 cents), reflecting a decrease of between 27% and 32% compared to the EPS
    of 18.63 cents for the year ended 30 June 2015; and
-   the HEPS is expected to be between 12.62 cents and 13.55 cents (previously announced as between
    10.76 cents and 12.62 cents), reflecting a decrease of between 27% and 32% compared to the HEPS
    of 18.56 cents for the year ended 30 June 2015.

The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not been reviewed or reported on
by the Company’s auditors. The Company’s financial results are expected to be released on SENS on or
about 27 September 2016.
