                                                                                                      African Cents

            Final dividend              19.11343                       61.16298                          48.93038



The currency exchange rate is the volume weighted average price achieved on foreign exchange trades executed over the period 4
September 2023 to 8 September 2023.

The exchange rate applicable to the South32 dividend being paid in other currencies will be determined over the period 4 September
2023 to 20 September 2023. Details of the currency exchange rates applicable for the dividend will be announced to the relevant
stock exchanges.

South32 shareholders registered on the South African branch register will not be able to dematerialise or rematerialise their
shareholdings between 13 September 2023 and 15 September 2023 (both dates inclusive), nor will transfers to or from the South
African branch register be permitted between 8 September 2023 and 15 September 2023 (both dates inclusive).

1. South African dividend tax of 12.23260 South African cents per ordinary share will be withheld from the amount of the gross final
   dividend of 61.16298 South African cents per ordinary share paid to shareholders on the South African branch register at the rate
   of 20% unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption.

2. After the South African dividend tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 48.93038 South African cents per ordinary share.

3. Australia is the country of source of income, the dividend is regarded as 'foreign' for the purposes of South African dividends tax.

4. South32 had a total of 4,545,413,695 ordinary shares on issue at the dividends determination date of 24 August 2023.

5. The dividend will be paid out of retained earnings.

6. For the avoidance of doubt, South African dividend tax, and therefore the information provided in this announcement, is of only
   direct application to shareholders on the South African branch register.

tax to Computershare Investor Services online at www.computershare.com/za or by calling +27 (0) 86 110 0950.
