1.      Introduction

        Unless otherwise indicated, capitalised words and terms contained in this announcement shall

4.    Dividends Withholding Tax in respect of Repurchase Alternative

      Where an Interwaste Scheme Participant is not exempt from Dividends Withholding Tax
      (“DWT”) and elects the Repurchase Alternative, DWT will be withheld from the gross amount
      of R1.20. Unless an Interwaste Scheme Participant is subject to DWT at a lesser rate, the
      applicable DWT withholding rate is 20% and, accordingly, the net amount payable will
      therefore be R0.96. In order to prevent (or reduce) such withholding, Interwaste Scheme
      Participants electing the Repurchase Alternative who are exempt from DWT (or subject to
      DWT at a lesser rate) must provide their regulated intermediary with the requisite SARS
      declaration and undertaking as soon as possible but in any event before 12h00 on the Scheme
      Record Date (or such earlier date as may be required in terms of their mandate with their
      CSDP or Broker).
