    -   arising on any listed debt instrument.
    -   arising on any debt owed by a bank or the South African Reserve Bank.
    -   arising from a bill of exchange or letter of credit where goods are imported into South Africa and
        where an authorized dealer has certified such on the instrument.
    -   payable by a headquarter company.
    -   accruing to a non-resident natural person who was physically present in South Africa for a period
        exceeding 183 days in aggregate, during that year, or carried on a business through a permanent
        establishment in South Africa.

Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprises of any interest, it
will not be subject to WTI by virtue of the fact that it is listed debt instruments and/or bank debt.
