        a) Withholding tax was deducted from foreign dividends at a blended rate of 8.75350% and was paid to the
           tax authorities in the counties stipulated above.
           Withholding tax payable to SARS at a blended rate is 11.24650% of the Gross distributable amount.
           Certain entities are exempt from dividends as explained below:

           No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident
           qualifying for exemption from dividend withholding tax provided that the investor has provided the
           following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”) or broker, as the case
           may be in respect of its participatory interest:
           a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
           b)a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
           affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the
           form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South African tax resident investors are
           advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned
           documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not already
           been submitted.

           Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
           The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms
           of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act, but will be subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend
           withholding tax is levied at a rate of 20%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable
           agreement for the avoidance of double taxation (“DTA”) between South Africa and the country of
           residence of the non-resident investor.
           A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-
           resident investor has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in
           respect of its participatory interest:
           a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a
           DTA; and
           b)a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
           affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in
           the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to
           contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be
           submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such documents have not already been
           submitted.

           Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should
           they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.


        b) Other   income  is   attributable   to  income   accruals  embedded   in   the  NAV                  for       new   unit
           creations/redemptions during the period from 29 September 2017 to 29 December 2017.
