REINET INVESTMENTS S.C.A. (“REINET”) – EXCHANGE RATE APPLICABLE
FOR DIVIDEND PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF ORDINARY SHARES LISTED ON THE
JOHANNESBURG STOCK EXCHANGE

The dividend payable to holders of Reinet ordinary shares listed
on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange (the “Reinet South African
Shares”) is payable in rand via central security depository
participants in Strate for all holdings of dematerialised Reinet
South African Shares.

The total dividend of EUR 0.30000 per share from income reserves,
as recommended by Reinet, has been approved by shareholders of
Reinet at the annual general meeting held on Tuesday,
29 August 2023 in Luxembourg.

There is no Luxembourg withholding tax payable on dividends which
may be declared by Reinet.

In 2013, Reinet sought clarification from the South African
Revenue Service (“SARS”) as to the treatment of any dividends to
be declared by Reinet and paid to holders of depository receipts
issued by Reinet Securities SA in respect of Reinet ordinary
shares. This ruling was renewed for a further 5 years on 8 March
2018 in respect of any dividends to be declared by Reinet and
paid to holders of the Company’s ordinary shares listed on the
Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Reinet is in the process of applying
for a renewal of this ruling in respect of any dividends to be
declared and paid to holders of its ordinary shares listed on
the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. Information relating to the
renewal of the ruling will be provided in due course.

The exchange rate applicable for the conversion of euro to rand
for payment of the Reinet South African Share dividend is
ZAR 20.60000 : Euro 1. Accordingly, the net dividend payable per
Reinet South African Share is 494.40000 ZAR cents, as set out in
the table below:
             Gross dividend     South African    Net dividend
             per share          dividend tax     per share
             (in ZAR cents)     at 20%           (in ZAR cents)
                                (in ZAR cents)

Total         618.00000            (123.60000)     494.40000
The timetable for the dividend in respect of the Reinet South
African Shares is as follows:

Last date to trade “cum dividend”     Tuesday, 12 September 2023
