UPDATE REGARDING DIVIDEND FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT

Shareholders are referred to the Dividend Finalisation Announcement (the "finalisation announcement") released on 13 April 2017 and are advised that an amended 'Shareholders who elect to take shares' section is presented below. The amendments relate solely to the illustrative figures included for JSE shareholders and do not impact LSE shareholders.

All defined terms in the finalisation announcement are applicable to this announcement, all other details remain unchanged.

Shareholders who elect to take shares:

The number of New Ordinary Shares to be allocated to shareholders electing to participate in the Scrip Dividend Scheme will be calculated by dividing the gross value of the Dividend otherwise receivable by a Shareholder by the Scrip Calculation Price and rounding down to the nearest whole number. As no fraction of a new share will be issued, for LSE shareholders any residual Cash Balance, i.e. the total value of the dividend receivable less the value of the shares allocated, will be rolled forward and factored into the Scrip calculation for the next relevant Dividend. For JSE shareholders, any residual Cash Balance will be paid in cash in the same way as the Dividend would have been paid had those shareholders not elected to receive the scrip alternative.

By way of illustration, a shareholder who holds 1,000 shares and who elects to receive New Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Scrip Dividend Scheme, will receive a number of New Ordinary Shares calculated as follows:
