   subsequently registered at the commencement of the General Meeting, will be allowed to participate

   TMS will assist Shareholders with the requirements for electronic participation in, and/or voting at,
   the General Meeting. TMS is further obliged to validate (in correspondence with Datatec and, in
   particular, the Transfer Secretaries, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, and your
   CSDP) each such Shareholder’s entitlement to participate in and/or to vote at the General Meeting,
   before providing it with the necessary means to access the General Meeting and/or the associated
   voting platform. For further information in this regard, please see the details contained in the Notice.
