NOTICE OF DIVIDEND CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE (SOUTH AFRICAN RAND)
On 29 January 2026, the Company announced its quarterly dividend for the
period ended 31 December 2025 of 1.70250 euro cents per share.
The currency exchange rate applicable for the quarterly dividend payable in
South African cents to shareholders on the South African register is based on

Q4 Declared dividend Exchange rate Gross dividend in South African ("SA") cents per share
1.70250 euro cents per share 18.704 31.84356
The gross dividend in South African cents per share of 31.84356 will be
subject to Irish Dividend Withholding Tax ("Irish DWT") at a rate of 25%
(equalling 7.96089 SA cents per share), which will be withheld from the gross
dividend paid to SA shareholders. After the deduction of Irish DWT, the net
amount of the dividend will be 23.88267 SA cents per share.
Shareholders tax resident in South Africa can apply for a refund of the full
amount of the Irish DWT withheld from the Irish Revenue Commissioners. A
refund of Irish DWT can be claimed by shareholders tax resident in South
Africa in accordance with the relevant process noted in the announcement
published on SENS on 29 January 2026.
The dividend may also be subject to SA Dividends Tax at the rate of 20%
(equalling 6.36871 SA cents per share), unless a shareholder qualifies for an
exemption ("SA DWT"). After the deduction of Irish DWT and SA DWT, the net
amount of the dividend will be 17.51396 SA cents per share.
Any shareholder who receives a dividend which is subject to SA DWT (i.e. where
no exemption is available) will qualify for a reduction in SA DWT in respect
of Irish DWT, to the extent that the Irish Revenue Commissioners does not
allow the refund of the Irish DWT after application for same.
The ultimate result, should Irish DWT be refunded, is that the dividend will
be subject to SA DWT at a rate of 20% (unless a shareholder qualifies for an
exemption from SA DWT).
