CORRECTION ANNOUNCEMENT: RESULTS OF ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Shareholders are referred to the results of the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") announcement released on SENS on 31 July 2019 (the "Initial Announcement"). The Company has today been made aware of inadvertent errors in the process of the Company's transfer secretaries Computershare compiling the voting results based on the voting instructions they received from Strate, the authorised Central Securities Depository ("CSD") for the electronic settlement of all financial instruments in South Africa. In accordance with standard practice, the Company relied on the voting results submitted to it by Computershare at the time of the AGM, which were contained in the Initial Announcement.

In light of the above, details of the revised voting results received by the Company from Computershare for the AGM held on 31 July 2019 are set out below. The revisions do not impact the passing of ordinary resolutions 1 - 3 and 5(a), together with extraordinary resolution 4, which were approved by the requisite majority of votes.

Further, the revised results had no change to the non-passing of extraordinary resolution 5(b) relating to the renewal of the Board's authority to withdraw statutory pre-emption rights, achieving a revised 69.8% vote in favour relative to the required 75%.

The Company confirms the voting statistics based on the revised total number of shares represented and voted at the AGM of 416,161,813 as follows (note 1):
