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 (“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 0.28000 per share from income reserves,
as recommended by Reinet, has been approved by shareholders of
Reinet at the annual general meeting held on Tuesday, 30 August
2022 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 from SARS 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 Reinet South African Shares. SARS
confirmed to Reinet that any such dividends would be treated as
‘foreign dividends’ as defined in the Income Tax Act No. 58 of
1962. Accordingly, any such dividends would be subject to South
African dividends withholding tax at 20 per cent in the hands of
holders of Reinet South African Shares unless those holders of
Reinet South African Shares are otherwise exempt from the tax.
Non-resident holders of Reinet South African Shares are required
to fill in the appropriate SARS declaration form, if they wish
to be exempted from the tax.

The exchange rate applicable for the conversion of euro to rand
for payment of the Reinet South African Share dividend is
ZAR 17.02000 : Euro 1. Accordingly, the net dividend payable per
Reinet South African Share is 381.24800 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         476.56000              (95.31200)      381.24800
The timetable for the dividend in respect of the Reinet South
African Shares is anticipated to be as follows:
