        authorized dealer has certified such on the instrument.
    •   payable by a headquarter company.
    •   accruing to a non-resident natural person who was physically present in South Africa for a period
        exceeding 183 days in aggregate, during that year, or carried on a business through a permanent
        establishment in South Africa.

Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprise of any interest, it will not be subject to
WTI by virtue of the fact that it is listed debt instruments and/or bank debt.

Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes

The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms of
section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act but will be subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend withholding tax is levied at a
rate of 20% unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation
("DTA") between South Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident investor.

A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-resident
investor has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, in respect of its participatory interest:

    a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA; and
    b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate
       change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the form prescribed by the South
       African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to contact their CSDP or broker, to arrange
       for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such
       documents have not already been submitted.

Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in
any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
