Notes
1.   Represents date that this Proxy Statement was furnished to the SEC at www.sec.com and made
     publicly available following SARB and JSE approval.
2.   On the Finalisation Date, in addition to receipt of Company Shareholder approval, all other conditions
     to Closing have been satisfied as of this date, other than those conditions that by their nature are to be
     satisfied at the Closing, but subject to the satisfaction or, to the extent permitted by applicable law,
     waiver of those conditions. This indicative timeline assumes that the Finalisation Date is the next
     business day after the Special Meeting Date (at which it is assumed the shareholders approve the
     Transaction). Satisfaction of all closing conditions will be finally determined as of the Closing Date. In
     particular, approval from the antitrust authorities in Taiwan is a condition to closing, and may not be
     obtained prior to Company Shareholder approval, in which case the Finalisation Date may be delayed
     and corresponding dates below will be adjusted. If the Finalisation Date is delayed, all of the subsequent
     dates will be delayed in accordance with the business days referenced in the “D-13” and similar
     notations next to the relevant indicative date. Adjusted indicative dates will be announced on SENS to
     the extent required.
3.   Number of Company Common Shares on the JSE register becomes certain after this date.
4.   The USD/Rand Exchange Rate will be announced by Parent on SENS (and, to the extent required, a
     South African business newspaper) by 11:00 a.m. South Africa time on the Last Day to Trade.
5.   Payment of holders of Company Common Shares on the JSE register in Rand via the Strate system.
6.   The JSE will be advised that the Company no longer meets the JSE's public shareholder spread
     requirements and the JSE will consequently take steps to delist the Company Common Shares in terms
     of paragraph 1.12 of the JSE Listings Requirements. The JSE delisting date will be announced once
     confirmed.
7.   NYSE delistings are generally effective 10 calendar days from the day the Form 25 is filed. The exact
     date of the delisting of the Company Common Shares from the JSE is not known.
