    Shareholders are referred to the Group's results that were released on 21
    September 2016, wherein an exchange rate of South African Rand ("ZAR") to the
    British Pound ("GBP"), ZAR/GBP: 18.7500 was used for illustrative purposes to
    convert the proposed ZAR dividend of ZAR0.15438 per share into GBP.

    Shareholders are advised that, should the proposed dividend be approved at the
    Annual General Meeting of the Company scheduled for Friday, 25 November 2016,
    the exchange rate for conversion of the ZAR dividend into GBP will be a fixed
    exchange rate of ZAR/GBP: 17.5787.

    Assuming the final dividend is approved by shareholders, the following salient
    dates would apply:

                                           2016

    Record date                            09 December, Friday       
                                                                     
    Payment date                           22 December, Thursday     

     1. No transfers between the Johannesburg and London registers between the

     2. No shares may be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 7
        December 2016 and Friday, 9 December 2016, both days inclusive.

    The proposed final dividend was calculated on 1,943,206,554 shares in issue and
    an exchange rate of ZAR/GBP: 17.5787, which translates to a final dividend of
    0.87822 pence per share, which is a 6.7% increment on the illustrative dividend
    per share of 0.82338 pence per share referred to in the Group's results
    announcement.

    The South African dividends tax rate is fifteen percent per ordinary share and
    therefore shareholders who are liable to pay the dividends tax will receive a
    net dividend of ZAR0.13122 cents per share (0.74649 pence per share). Foreign
    investors may qualify for a lower dividend tax rate, subject to completing a
    dividend tax declaration and submitting it to Computershare Limited or Capita
    Plc who manage the SA and UK register, respectively. The Company's South
    African income tax reference number is 9154588173.
