Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday 20 August 2025 and Friday 22 August 2025, both dates inclusive, nor may any transfers of shareholdings between the South African share register and the Jersey Branch register be permitted between Tuesday 19 August 2025 and Friday 22 August 2025, both dates inclusive. Any changes to the dividend instructions and timetable will be announced on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange News Service and the LSE Regulatory News Service.
The salient dates have been set out above to allow non-South African resident shareholders sufficient time to apply for a reduced rate of dividend withholding tax if they qualify for this.
The dividend will be paid in South African Rand for shareholders on the South African share register and in Pound Sterling for shareholders on the Jersey Branch register, UK Depositary Interest Register and UK Corporate Sponsored Nominee register. The Pound Sterling cash equivalent is 8.37482 pence per share (Pound Stirling) based on an exchange rate of GBP1:ZAR23.88110 as quoted by Bloomberg at 17:00 (CAT) on 25 July 2025.
Tax treatment for shareholders on the South African share register
The dividend will incur a 20% withholding tax unless an exemption or reduced rate is applicable under a tax treaty. Should the dividend withholding tax be withheld at the full rate of 20%, the net dividend will be R1.60 per share (160 cents per share).

Valterra Platinum has retained Computershare UK as an intermediary to receive and process the relevant prescribed declarations and forms as set out below. Any reference below to documentation, which is required to be submitted to Valterra Platinum, should therefore be submitted to Computershare UK.
Non-South African tax resident shareholders will be paid the dividend subject to 20% dividend withholding tax. However, non-South African tax resident shareholders may be entitled to a reduced rate of dividends tax due to the provisions of an applicable tax treaty.
Shareholders who qualify for an exemption from or reduction in dividends tax in terms of section 64F of the South African Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 must provide the following:
- A declaration that the dividend is exempt from dividends tax.
- A written undertaking to inform the regulated intermediary should the circumstances affecting the exemption change or if the beneficial owner ceases to be the beneficial owner, both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service to the regulated intermediary prior to the required date to benefit from the exemption. The prescribed form has been transposed onto the Computershare UK format.
Shareholders on the Jersey Branch register, UK Depositary Interest register, and UK Corporate Sponsored Nominee register will be sent the required documentation for completion and return to Computershare UK. Qualifying shareholders on the Jersey Branch register, UK Depositary Interest register, and UK Corporate Sponsored Nominee register are advised to arrange for the above mentioned documents to be submitted to Computershare UK by Friday, 22 August 2025.
