Shareholders on the Australian, UK and South African share registers who are receiving dividends in AUD,
GBP and ZAR respectively will have their dividend amounts converted directly from USD at the relevant
exchange rate stated above. Shareholders who have elected to receive their dividends in a currency different
from that applicable to their share register will have their dividend amounts converted from USD into the
currency of their share register first, and then into their elected currency.

For example, a shareholder on the Australian share register who elects to receive their dividend in NZD will
first have their dividend amount converted from USD to AUD, and then from AUD to NZD. The NZD/USD
exchange rate and NZD equivalent amount per share stated in the table above are for illustrative purposes
only and may differ from the actual rate and amount applied.

The dividend will be paid on Thursday, 30 March 2023.
