AMENDMENT TO RATE APPLICABLE TO DIVIDEND WITHHOLDING TAX AND IMPACT ON CASH DIVIDEND DECLARATION
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service on 23 February 2017
in which they were advised, inter alia, that the board of directors had resolved to declare an interim gross
cash dividend to shareholders recorded in the register of the Company on Friday, 17 March 2017 ("Announcement").
Shareholders are now advised that, consequent to the announcement by Minister Gordhan of an increase in the
dividend withholding tax ("DWT") rate from 15% to 20%, in his budget speech of 22 February 2017, the DWT applicable
to the gross cash dividend to be paid to shareholders who are not exempt from DWT is 20%.
The net dividend amount is accordingly 132,0 cents per share and not 140,25 cents per share, as previously announced.
The remainder of the Announcement is unaffected.
