●
cum

●
ex

●
●
On payment date, dividends due to holders of certificated securities on the SA share register will either be
electronically transferred to such shareholders’ bank accounts or, in the absence of suitable mandates,
dividends will be held in escrow by the Company until suitable mandates are received to electronically

Dividends in respect of dematerialised shareholdings will be credited to such shareholders’ accounts with
the relevant Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker.

will depend on the exchange rate on the date for currency conversion.
