The Resolution passed at the General Meeting enables the Directors to proceed
with the proposed Interim 2021 Dividend and Enhanced Scrip Dividend
Alternative, as set out in the Circular. Cash payments in respect of the
Interim 2021 Dividend and the date of issue, admission and first day of
dealings in New Shares on the London Stock Exchange, Euronext Dublin, and
Johannesburg Stock Exchange is expected to be Tuesday, 7 December 2021.

The Board retains the discretion to withdraw or modify the terms of the
Enhanced Scrip Dividend Alternative and the Interim 2021 Dividend, because
there are certain situations in which the Board may decide that it is no
longer appropriate to pay the Interim 2021 Dividend and to offer the Enhanced
Scrip Dividend Alternative, or it may not be permissible for the Company to do
so.

General Meeting has been submitted to the National Storage Mechanism, which
