Shareholders on the South African register will receive their interim dividend in South African Rand converted
from US dollars at the closing rate of exchange on Friday, 17 December 2021. Shareholders are hereby
advised that the exchange rate to be used will be USD 1 = ZAR 15.8613. This has been calculated as the
average of the bid/ask spread at 16.00 (United Kingdom time) being the close of business on 17 December
2021.

In respect of the normal gross cash dividend of US$1.9 cents (30.13647 South African cents), and in terms of
the South African Tax Act, the following dividend tax ruling only applies to those shareholders who are
registered on the South African register at close of business on Friday, 14 January 2022. All other
shareholders are exempt.
The dividend withholding tax rate is 20% resulting in a net dividend of US$1.52000 cents (24.10918 South
African cents) per share to those shareholders who are not exempt from the dividend withholding tax.

The dividend has been declared from income reserves, which funds are sourced from the Company’s main
bank account in Switzerland and is therefore deemed a foreign dividend.

The issued number of shares at the declaration date is 35,857,512. The Company’s Jersey tax number is
CH4513/TIN 101-580-5936.

No dematerialisation or re-materialisation of share certificates, nor transfer of shares between the registers in
Jersey and South Africa will take place between Wednesday, 12 January 2022 and Friday, 14 January 2022,
both dates inclusive.
