This announcement is not for publication or distribution or release, directly or indirectly, in or into the United
States, People’s Republic of China (save for the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong), Canada, Japan
or any other jurisdiction in which such release, publication or distribution would be unlawful. This
announcement is for information purposes only and shall not constitute or form part of an offer or solicitation
of an offer to purchase or subscribe for securities in any jurisdiction. The Placement is not to be regarded as
an offer or invitation to any person in any jurisdiction to the extent that any applicable legal requirement in such
jurisdiction has not been complied with or it is for any reason illegal or unlawful to make such an offer or

Neither this announcement nor the Placement constitutes or is intended to constitute an offer to the public in
South Africa in terms of the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008 (as amended). In South Africa, the invitation to
apply for IAP units in terms of the Placement is only open to (i) persons who are acting as principal and who

South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 (as amended), or (ii) persons who comply with the requirements set
out in section 96(1)(a) of the South African Companies Act 71 of 2008 (as amended).

This announcement is not for distribution, and the securities offered in terms of the Placement may not be
offered or sold, directly or indirectly, in any member state of the European Union.

This announcement has been issued by and is the sole responsibility of the Responsible Entity. No
representation or warranty, express or implied, is or will be made as to, or in relation to, and no responsibility
or liability is or will be accepted by Investec or by any of their respective affiliates or agents as to, or in relation
to, the accuracy or completeness of this announcement or any other written or oral information made available
to or publicly available to any interested party or its advisers, and any liability therefore is expressly disclaimed.

This announcement does not purport to identify or suggest the risks (direct or indirect) which may be associated
with an investment in the securities. No representation or warranty is made by the Responsible Entity or
Investec in connection with the Placement, and any investment decision to buy securities in terms of the
Placement must be made solely on the basis of publicly available information which has not been
independently verified by Investec.
