Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprise of any interest, it will not

No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident
qualifying for exemption from dividend withholding tax provided that the investor has provided the
following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case maybe in
respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the form
prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South African tax resident investors are advised to
contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be
submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not already been submitted.

Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms of
section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act, but will be subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend withholding tax
is levied at a rate of 20%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the
avoidance of double taxation ("DTA") between South Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident
investor.
A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-
resident investor has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in respect
of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA;
and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the
form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to contact their
CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to
the payment of the distribution if such documents have not already been submitted.

Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should
they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
