NOTES FOR SHAREHOLDERS ON THE SA SHARE REGISTER

South African shareholders are advised that the dividend will be regarded as a foreign dividend and may be subject to
South African dividends withholding tax. On 22 February 2017, the South African dividend withholding tax rate was
increased from 15% to 20% and accordingly South African shareholders may be subject to a dividend withholding tax
rate of 20%, unless an exemption, as set out in the South African tax legislation, applies. The receipt of the cash dividend
may have tax implications for shareholders who are resident in Mauritius or countries other than South Africa. New
Frontier shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisors regarding the tax consequence of the dividend
should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action they should take.

The above information and the guidelines on the taxation of dividends are provided as a general guide based on the
Company’s understanding of the law and practice currently in force. Any shareholder who is in any doubt as to their tax
position should seek independent professional advice.
