Notes

1. Shareholders on the United Kingdom register of members with an address in the United Kingdom will be paid in pounds sterling and those with an address in a country in the European Union which has adopted the euro, will be paid in euros. Such shareholders may, however, elect to be paid their dividends in US dollars provided the UK Registrars receive such election by Wednesday 24 August 2011. Shareholders with an address elsewhere will be paid in US dollars except those registered on the South African branch register who will be paid in South African rand. The currency conversion rates and the amounts per share in pounds sterling/euros will be announced on Friday 2 September 2011.

2. Dematerialisation and rematerialisation of registered share certificates in South Africa will not be effected by CSDPs during the period from the JSE Ex-dividend date to the Record date (both days inclusive).

3. Those shareholders who already participate in the DRIP need not complete a DRIP mandate form for each dividend as such forms provide an ongoing authority to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing. Shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should obtain a mandate form from the UK Registrars, the South African Transfer Secretaries or, in the case of those who hold their shares through the STRATE system, their CSDP.

4. In terms of the DRIP, and subject to the purchase of shares in the open market, share certificates/CREST notifications are expected to be mailed and CSDP investor accounts credited/updated on Wednesday 21 September 2011 in the UK and Friday 23 September 2011 in South Africa. CREST accounts will be credited on Wednesday 21 September 2011.

5. Copies of the terms and conditions of the DRIP are available from the UK Registrars or the South African Transfer Secretaries.
