The default currency and options on currency election for the dividend will depend as follows:

•             Shareholders holding their shares on the Nigerian Exchange Limited without a valid Nigerian Certificate for Capital Importation ("CCI") will be paid their dividend in Naira as the default currency;

•             Shareholders holding their shares on the Nigerian Exchange Limted with a valid CCI will be paid their dividend in US dollars as the default currency.  However, those shareholders may instead elect to receive their entire dividend payment in Naira (partial elections are not permissible).  Evidence of the CCI must be provided to Datamax Registrars Limited; and

•             Shareholders holding their shares through depository interests on the London Stock Exchange will be paid their dividend in US dollars as the default currency.  However, those shareholders may instead elect to receive their entire dividend payment in pounds sterling. Partial elections are not permissible.

The exchange rate for the Naira or Pounds Sterling amounts payable will be determined by reference to the relevant exchange rates applicable to the US dollar on 11^th August 2021 and will be communicated by the Company on 12^th August 2021.
