The rate of exchange determined on Wednesday, 20 July 2016 for converting to South African Rand is US$:ZAR = 14.341998 resulting in an equivalent final dividend of 1,344.56231 SA cents per share.

The dividend is payable in cash as a 'Dividend' (as defined in the South African Income Tax Act, 58 of 1962, as amended) by way of a reduction of income reserves.
