- The issued ordinary share capital of Karooooo Ltd. is 30,893,300 ordinary shares.
- The dividend will be distributed by the Company from distributable profit reserves and is regarded as a
"foreign dividend" (as defined in the South African Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962) for South African
resident shareholders holding shares on the South African register.
- Singapore does not impose withholding tax on dividends.
- Dividends declared and paid by the Company to South African resident shareholders holding shares on

documented proof to the regulated intermediary (being a broker, CSD participant, nominee company or
the Company's transfer secretaries Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Ltd., Private Bag x9000,
Saxonwold, 2132, South Africa) that they are exempt therefrom, or entitled to a reduced rate, as a result
of any relevant double taxation agreement between South Africa and the country of tax domicile of such
owner.
Shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional tax advisers should they be in any doubt as
to the appropriate action to take.
