DIVIDEND

The Board has declared a final ordinary gross cash dividend of 2.5 cents per ordinary share payable from
income in respect of the eight months ended 29 February 2024 (the "Final Dividend"). When taken together
with the interim dividend for the period ended 30 June 2024, this equates to a total distribution of 5.0 cents
per ordinary share for the fourteen months ended 29 February 2024.

The Board has confirmed by resolution that the solvency and liquidity test as contemplated by the Companies
Act No. 71 of 2008 as amended, has been duly considered, applied, and satisfied. This is a dividend as defined
in the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 and is payable from income reserves.

The number of ordinary shares in issue at the date of this declaration is 534 334 631 (including 825 000 treasury
shares held by the Group). The Final Dividend is subject to local dividends tax of 20% for those shareholders to
whom local dividends tax is applicable. The resultant net interim dividend amount is 2.0 cents per share for
those shareholders subject to local dividends tax, and 2.5 cents per share for those shareholders not subject
to local dividends tax. The Company's tax reference number is 9883271182.

The salient dates applicable to the Final Dividend are as follows:

Last day to trade cum dividend        Tuesday, 18 June 2024
