Irish Dividend Withholding Tax

The gross dividend will be subject to Irish Dividend Withholding Tax ("Irish DWT") at a rate of
25%, which will be deducted from the amount paid to shareholders. Shareholders who are
not tax resident or ordinarily resident in Ireland and who meet certain conditions may be
entitled to claim a refund of Irish DWT (being the full amount of the Irish DWT deducted)
withheld from the Irish Revenue Commissioners.

Shareholders beneficially entitled to the dividend who are not companies, are not resident or
ordinarily resident for the purposes of tax in Ireland, and are tax resident in a relevant
territory (such as South Africa) can apply for a refund of Irish DWT. Companies can also apply
for a refund if they are tax resident in South Africa and not under the direct or indirect control
of Irish tax residents; are controlled by persons who are tax resident in South Africa (or
another country with which Ireland has a double taxation agreement) and not controlled
directly or indirectly by others; or if their principal class of shares (or those of their parent
company) are substantially and regularly traded on a recognised stock exchange in Ireland or
in a country with which Ireland has a double taxation agreement. Such shareholders are not
generally expected to have any Irish tax charge on dividends.

A refund of Irish DWT withheld can be applied for with the Claim for refund of Dividend
Withholding Tax available on the Irish Revenue Commissioner's official website and the
following link:

https://www.revenue.ie/en/companies-and-charities/documents/dwt/dwt-claim-for-
refund.pdf

Shareholders should complete the required details and select Option A or Option B as
appropriate. Shareholders will also be required to provide the relevant Exemption
Declaration with the form (Form V2A for individuals, Form V2B for companies and Form V2C
for other unincorporated shareholders). The Forms V2A and V2C require confirmation from
the local tax authority that the shareholder is tax resident in that jurisdiction. The relevant
forms can be found at this link:

https://www.revenue.ie/en/companies-and-charities/dividend-withholding-
tax/exemptions-for-non-residents.aspx

The relevant form must be filed with Irish Revenue before the expiry of four years from the
year in which the Irish DWT was deducted in order to claim the refund.

South African income tax and dividends tax consequences

The dividend should be regarded as a 'foreign dividend' for South African income tax and
South African dividends tax purposes, paid from Ireland.

Foreign dividends received in respect of shares which are dual-listed on the JSE are, however,
exempt from income tax. Consequently, no South African income tax should be incurred by
the shareholders in respect of the dividend received.

For shareholders on the South African register, the dividend is subject to South African
dividend tax at a rate of 20% ("SA DWT"), unless the shareholder qualifies for an exemption.

Any shareholder who receives a dividend which is subject to SA DWT (i.e. where no exemption
is available) will qualify for a reduction in SA DWT in respect of Irish DWT, to the extent that
the Irish Revenue Commissioners does not allow the refund of the Irish DWT after application
for same (i.e. where there is no right of recovery).

The ultimate result, should Irish DWT be refunded, is that the dividend will be subject to SA
DWT at a rate of 20% (unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption from SA DWT).

Additional information for shareholders on the South African Register

To facilitate settlement of the dividend to entitled SA shareholders, shares may not be
dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 19 August 2026 (the SA Ex-Dividend
Date) and Friday, 21 August 2026 (the Record Date). The exchange rate for determining the
quarterly dividend paid in rand will be confirmed by way of an announcement on Monday, 17
August 2026. Shares cannot be moved between the SA Share Register, or between the SA, UK
and Ireland register, between Monday, 17 August 2026 and Friday, 21 August 2026. All dates
are inclusive.

The Company has a total of 1,081,925,471 shares in issue, of which 200,000 are held in
treasury. The dividend will be distributed by the Company (Irish tax registration number
598470) and is regarded as a foreign dividend for shareholders on the South African register.
