REINET INVESTMENTS S.C.A. (“REINET”) – DIVIDEND DATES 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.

Reinet has recommended a total dividend of EUR 0.28 per share from
income reserves. It is anticipated that this dividend will be
approved by shareholders of Reinet at the annual general meeting to
be 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 will be confirmed
in a separate announcement to be released on SENS on Tuesday,
6 September 2022.

The timetable for the dividend in respect of the Reinet South African
Shares is anticipated to be as follows:

Last date to trade “cum dividend”       Tuesday, 13 September 2022

No cross-border movements of Reinet ordinary shares will be permitted
between the clearing and settlement systems for the Dutch and
Luxembourgish stock exchanges (Euroclear Nederland, Euroclear Bank
and Clearstream) and the clearing and settlement system for the
Johannesburg    Stock    Exchange    (Strate)     between    Tuesday,
