Cash dividend declaration

For the six months ended 31 December 2024, the board of directors ("board") has resolved to declare and pay an
interim gross cash dividend of 15.0 cents per share (31 December 2023: 100.0 cents per share and for 30 June 2024:
70.0 cents per share), in line with the board approved company dividend policy of 25% of headline earnings, which in
aggregate amounts to an interim gross cash dividend of approximately R59.4 million. The interim gross cash dividend has
been declared from income reserves.

A dividend withholding tax of 20% will be applicable to Shareholders who are not exempt from, or who do not qualify for,
a reduced rate of dividend withholding tax. Accordingly, for those Shareholders subject to dividend withholding tax at a rate
of 20%, the final net cash dividend will amount to 12.0 cents per share (31 December 2023: 80.0 cents per share and
30 June 2024: 56.0 cents per share).

The following dates are applicable to the interim cash dividend:

 Last day to trade (cum dividend), on                                                            Monday, 17 March 2025
 Trading ex-dividend, on                                                                        Tuesday, 18 March 2025
 Record date to determine which Shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend, on          Thursday, 20 March 2025
 Payment date of the dividend, on                                                                Monday, 24 March 2025
