2.   DIVIDEND DECLARATION

     The directors have declared and approved a final gross dividend of 5 cents per share for
     the year ended 30 June 2021 from income reserves.

     The following dates will apply to the abovementioned final dividend:

     Last day to trade cum dividend:           Tuesday, 12 October 2021
     Trading ex-dividend commences:            Wednesday, 13 October 2021
     Record date:                              Friday, 15 October 2021
     Dividend payment date:                    Monday, 18 October 2021

     Share certificates may not be dematerialised or re-materialised between Wednesday, 13
     October 2021 and Friday, 15 October 2021, both days inclusive.

     The dividend is made from income reserves and is subject to dividend withholding tax of
     20% which results in a net dividend of 4 cents per share. In determining the dividends tax
     (DT) of 20% to withhold in terms of the Income Tax Act (No. 58 of 1962) for those
     shareholders who are not exempt from the DT, no secondary tax on companies (STC)
     credits have been utilised. Shareholders who are not exempt from the DT will therefore
     receive a dividend of (dividend multiplied by 80%) cents per share net of DT. The company
     has 33 589 069 ordinary shares in issue as at 30 June 2021 and its income tax reference
     number is 9841087647.

     The above dates are subject to change. Any changes will be released on SENS. Where
     applicable, dividends in respect of certificated shares will be transferred electronically to
     shareholders` bank accounts on the payment date. In the absence of specific mandates,
     dividend cheques will be posted to shareholders. Ordinary shareholders who hold
     dematerialised shares will have their accounts at their CSDP or broker credited/updated
     on Monday, 18 October 2021.
