Shareholders who have elected to receive their dividends in a currency different from that applicable to their share register will have their dividend amounts converted from USD into the currency of their share register first, and then into their elected currency.

For example, a shareholder on the Australian share register who elects to receive their dividend in NZD will first have their dividend amount converted from USD to AUD, and then from AUD to NZD. The NZD/USD exchange rate and NZD equivalent amount per share stated in the table above are for illustrative purposes only and may differ from the actual rate and amount applied.

Shareholders on the South African register will only receive dividends in ZAR.

The dividend will be paid on Thursday, 28 September 2023.
