   Notes to Form of Proxy
   
 
  Instructions on signing and lodging the annual general meeting proxy form.
1. The following categories of shareholders are entitled to complete a proxy form:
 
1.1 certificated shareholders whose names appear on the company’s register;
1.2 own name electronic shareholders whose names appear on the sub-register of a Central Securities Depository Participant (“CSDP”);
1.3 CSDPs with nominee accounts;
1.4 brokers with nominee accounts.
  All beneficial owners who have dematerialised their shares through a CSDP or broker, other than those in “own name”, must provide the CSDP or broker with their voting instruction. Alternatively, should such a shareholder wish to attend the meeting in person, in terms of the custody agreement with the CSDP or broker, such shareholder may request the CSDP or broker to provide the shareholder with a letter of representation.
2. A shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the shareholder’s choice in the space/s provided, with or without deleting “the chairman of the annual general meeting”, but any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder. The person whose name stands first on the form of proxy and who is present at the annual general meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.
3. Please insert an “X” in the relevant spaces according to how you wish your votes to be cast. However, if you wish to cast your votes in respect of a lesser number of ordinary shares than you own in the company, insert the number of ordinary shares in respect of which you desire to vote. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise the proxy to vote or to abstain from voting at the annual general meeting as he/she deems fit in respect of all the shareholder’s votes exercisable thereat. A shareholder or the proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the shareholder or by the proxy, but the total of votes cast and in respect whereof abstention is recorded may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable by the shareholder or by the proxy.
4. Forms of proxy must be received at the office of the company’s transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services Limited, 70 Marshall Street, Marshalltown, Johannesburg, 2001 (P0 Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2107) by not later than 12h00 on Thursday, 24 October 2002.
5. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant shareholder from attending the annual general meeting and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof.
6. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy unless previously recorded by the company’s transfer secretaries or waived by the chairman of the annual general meeting.
7. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialled by the signatory/ies.
8. A minor must be assisted by his/her parent or guardian unless the relevant documents establishing his/her legal capacity are produced or have been registered by the transfer secretaries of the company.
The chairman of the annual general meeting may reject or accept a form of proxy which is completed and/or received other than in accordance with these notes if he is satisfied as to the manner in which the shareholder wishes to vote.
