DIVIDEND/DISTRIBUTION FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED
30 JUNE 2024



Lighthouse shareholders are referred to the dividend declaration announcement released on Friday, 16 August 2024
and the circular (“Circular”) distributed to shareholders in respect of a cash dividend of 1.21660 EUR cents per
share (“Cash Dividend”), with an alternative scrip distribution option of 1.21660 EUR cents per share (“Scrip
Distribution”).
Shareholders are advised as follows:
    1. The Scrip Distribution reference price is 775.92579 ZAR cents per share (“Scrip Distribution Reference
       Price”), being a 3% discount to the spot price of Lighthouse shares traded on the JSE on Monday,
       26 August 2024, less the amount of the Cash Dividend, converted from EUR at an exchange rate of
       ZAR 19.79:EUR 1.00 (determined as the closing foreign exchange rate on Monday, 26 August 2024).
    2. Shareholders on the South African register who receive the Cash Dividend will receive their Cash Dividend
       in South African Rands, converted from Euro at an exchange rate of ZAR 19.79:EUR 1.00.
    3. Accordingly, the gross Cash Dividend of 1.21660 EUR cents per share will be equal to 24.07651 ZAR cents
       per share for shareholders on the South African register who are exempt from paying South African dividends
       tax.
    4. The net Cash Dividend amount is 19.26121 ZAR cents per share for South African shareholders liable for
       South African dividends tax at a rate of 20.00%.
    5. Shareholders electing to receive the Scrip Distribution will be entitled to 3.10294 new Lighthouse shares for
       every 100 Lighthouse shares held on the record date, being Friday, 6 September 2024, representing the ratio
       that the Scrip Distribution bears to the Scrip Distribution Reference Price.
Shareholders are referred to the tax implications as set out in the Circular and the dividend/distribution declaration
announcement released on Friday, 16 August 2024.
The salient dates and times announced on Friday, 16 August 2024 remain unchanged. Terms defined in the Circular
shall bear the same meaning in this announcement.
As at the date of this announcement, Lighthouse has 1 853 993 105 ordinary shares in issue. If all shareholders receive
the Cash Dividend, the total value of the distribution will amount to EUR 22 555 680.
Should all shareholders elect to receive the Scrip Distribution, a maximum number of 57 528 293 new Lighthouse
shares would be issued.
The allocation of new Lighthouse shares will be such that shareholders receiving the Scrip Distribution will not be
allocated a fraction of a new Lighthouse share.
Any entitlement to receive a fraction of a new Lighthouse share will be rounded down to the nearest whole number
and the value of the fraction (less any applicable dividends tax) will be paid to shareholders, to be announced on
Thursday, 5 September 2024.
