Any adjustments made in terms of Rules 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 must be reported on in the Companys annual financial statements in the year during which the relevant adjustment is made.  5AWARDS OF CONDITIONAL SHARES  5.1Time when Awards may be made  5.1.1The RemCom may select an Employee for participation in the Plan, and make an Award to an Employee in accordance with Rule 3:  5.1.1.1at any time after the Plan has been approved by the Companys shareholders; and  5.1.1.2subject to Rule 5.1.1.1, on any day on which there are no restrictions on the making of Awards, being restrictions imposed during a Closed Period or Prohibited Period, or by statute, order, regulation or directive, or by any corporate governance code adopted by the Company relating to dealings in securities by directors, or the JSE Listings Requirements, as the case may be.  5.2Award Letter  5.2.1Award Letters shall be in writing and shall specify the terms of the Award including:  16
