The currency exchange rate is the average exchange rate realised on foreign exchange trades during the period 26 February 2024 to
1 March 2024.

The exchange rate applicable to the South32 dividend being paid in other currencies will be determined during the period 26 February
2024 to 13 March 2024. Details of the currency exchange rates applicable for the dividend will be announced to the relevant stock
exchanges.

South32 shareholders registered on the South African branch register will not be able to dematerialise or rematerialise their
shareholdings between 6 March 2024 and 8 March 2024 (both dates inclusive), nor will transfers to or from the South African branch
register be permitted between 29 February 2024 and 8 March 2024 (both dates inclusive).

1. South African dividend tax of 1.54003 South African cents per ordinary share will be withheld from the amount of the gross
   interim dividend of 7.70014 South African cents per ordinary share paid to shareholders on the South African branch register at
   the rate of 20% unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption.

2. After the South African dividend tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 6.16011 South African cents per ordinary share.

3. Australia is the country of source of income, the dividend is regarded as 'foreign' for the purposes of South African dividends tax.

4. South32 had a total of 4,529,258,568 ordinary shares on issue at the dividend determination date of 15 February 2024.

5. The dividend will be paid out of retained earnings.

   direct application to shareholders on the South African branch register.
