Notice of final and special cash dividends

At the Board of directors meeting on 12 March 2024, the directors approved a gross final dividend of
1 010 cents per share (ordinary dividend). The final ordinary dividend is payable on 13 May 2024 to
shareholders who will be on the register on 10 May 2024. The final ordinary dividend was declared from
profits generated during the year ended 31 December 2023 and has been declared from income
reserves. The final ordinary dividend is subject to dividend withholding tax at a rate of 20% for all
shareholders who are not exempt from or do not qualify for a reduced rate of dividend withholding tax
(net local ordinary dividend amounts to 808.00000 cents per share).

Given the net cash position at 31 December 2023 of R14 834 million (excluding Energy net debt), the
Board of directors has resolved to pay a special dividend of 572 cents per share (special dividend) from
income reserves. The special dividend is payable on 13 May 2024 to shareholders who will be on the
register on 10 May 2024. The special dividend is subject to dividend withholding tax at a rate of 20%
for all shareholders who are not exempt from or do not qualify for a reduced rate of dividend withholding
tax (net local special dividend amounts to 457.60000 cents per share). The special dividend is subject
to approval of the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). A further announcement will be released once
SARB approval has been obtained.
