Dividends

The Group declared an interim dividend for the interim period ended 31 December 2023 and
communicated its intention of changing its year end to align with Sanlam Limited's year end of 31
December 2024. With this in mind, a new dividend policy has been set where dividends will be declared
annually based on audited results and shareholders are therefore reminded that the next dividend payment
will be in May 2025, based on the 2024 calendar year performance.
