For
shareholders holding their shares on the South African branch
register, the dividend will, for South African dividends tax

As such,
for South African tax resident shareholders holding their shares on
the South African branch register, dividends withholding tax will
be withheld from the dividends payable to these shareholders at a
rate of 20%, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption,
resulting in a net dividend of 380.92402
rand cents per ordinary share. Shareholders holding their
shares on the South African branch register who are not tax
resident in South Africa are
exempted from South African dividends withholdings tax.
For the
