FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE FRK01 NOTES


INTRODUCTION

Further to the announcements released on 13 May 2019, 31 May 2019 and 5 June 2019 ('the Previous
Announcements') by the Issuer, in respect of the election required by the holders ('FRK01
Noteholders') of the 139,620 One Ounce KrugerRand Notes due 12 August 2019 ('FRK01 Notes'),
FRB would like to update the market with the following final details.


CALCULATION OF INTEREST AMOUNT

FRK01 Noteholders are advised that the cash value of the interest payment per FRK01 note is R
563.3544 (56335.44 cents).

For those FRK01 Noteholders that elected cash settlement, the interest payment will be paid on
Monday, 12 August 2019.

For those FRK01 Noteholders who elected physical settlement, the number of Krugerrand coins in
respect of the interest payment is 0.00, due to the interest amount being too small to pay out in
Krugerrand coins. The Issuer therefore confirms that the cash value in respect of the full balance of the
interest amount due, for those who elected physical settlement, is R 563.3544 (56335.44 cents) per
FRK01 note and will be paid on Monday, 12 August 2019.


CALCULATION OF CAPITAL AMOUNT

FRK01 Noteholders are advised that the cash value of the capital payment per FRK01 note is R 22
538.50 (2253850.00 cents), which will be settled on Monday, 12 August 2019.

REMINDER OF THE PHYSICAL SETTLEMENT COLLECTION PROCESS

FRK01 Noteholders that have elected physical settlement in respect of the capital and interest payment
due on the FRK01 Notes are reminded to follow the process outlined below:

    1. Elect a courier company to act on the behalf of the FRK01 Noteholder to collect the Krugerrand
       coins due to such FRK01 Noteholder. FRK01 Noteholders are reminded that only one courier
       company from this list can be elected by the FRK01 Noteholder for the collection of their
       Krugerrand coins:
            - RAM Transport (South Africa) Proprietary Limited trading as RAM Hand?to?Hand
                Couriers;
            - G4S International Logistics (SA) (Pty) Ltd; or
            - Brink's (Southern Africa) Proprietary Limited.
    2. Notify the chosen courier company that the Krugerrand coins are to be collected at the premises
       of Rand Refinery at Rand Refinery Road, Industries West, Germiston, Gauteng, South Africa.
       The Krugerrand coins can only be collected on Monday, 12 August 2019 between 08h00 and
       15h00. The FRK01 Noteholder must make their own collection arrangements with the chosen
       courier company.
    3. The FRK01 Noteholder should have notified                    the Issuer (by email to
       Ettienne.vanWyk@rmb.co.za) of the following details by 17h00 on 5 August 2019:
            - FRK01 Noteholder full name;
            - the number of FRK01 Notes held;
            - the FRK01 Noteholder's CSDP;
            - the chosen courier company; and
            - provide a confirmation from the courier company (acting on behalf of the FRK01
                Noteholder) that the Krugerrand coins will be collected on the collection day.

FRK01 Noteholders are reminded that the Issuer will not be liable for non-delivery of the Krugerrand
coins from the point at which these are collected by the chosen courier company at Rand Refinery's
premises.

Failure to strictly comply with the collection process outlined above, or to collect the Krugerrand coins
as per point 2 above, will result in the Krugerrand coins in respect of the capital and interest payment
due on the FRK01 Notes being sold. The cash value realised from the sale, less any costs incurred by
the Issuer in the sale process, will be paid to the relevant FRK01 Noteholders by no later than 10h00
on Monday, 19 August 2019, in accordance with the terms and conditions of the FRK01 Notes.
