Payment of dividends/distributions to kumba’s shareholders
Relevant shareholders were notified in December 2012 that due to cheque payments being particularly vulnerable to fraud and the significant increase in the number of attempted and successful fraud cases, Kumba Iron Ore Limited (“Kumba” or “the Company”) would discontinue the issuing of cheques to shareholders with respect to payments of distributions/dividends. Accordingly, cheque payments were discontinued following payment of the 2012 financial year final dividend in March 2013. The Company’s memorandum of incorporation provides for distributions/dividends to shareholders to be made by way of electronic transfer to a bank account nominated by the shareholder in writing. Relevant shareholders were requested to provide our transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Ltd (“Computershare”), with their banking details or any changes thereto in order to receive future dividend proceeds directly to their bank account via electronic funds transfer.
