provided the UK Registrar receives such election by Friday 10 March 2006. Shareholders with an address
elsewhere will be paid in US dollars except those registered on the South African branch register who will be
paid in South African rand. The currency conversion rates and the amounts per share in South African rand and

dividend as such forms provide an on-going authority to participate in the DRIP until cancelled in writing.
Shareholders who wish to participate in the DRIP should obtain a mandate form from the UK Registrars, the
South African Transfer Secretaries or, in the case of those who hold their shares through the STRATE system,
their CSDP.

African Transfer Secretaries.

Appendix 1  Reconciliation of Headline Earnings to Underlying Earnings

In previous reporting periods the Group has reported headline earnings as its
primary earnings measure, using the definition of headline earnings which is
required to be disclosed by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ('JSE Ltd'),
consistent with that given by the Institute of Investment Management and
Research ('IIMR').

Following the adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards, as well
as consideration of other restrictions of the definition, the Group believes
that an alternative measure would provide a clearer picture of the underlying
performance of the Group.

Consequently, the Group has adopted 'Underlying Earnings' as its principal
measure of earnings. Underlying earnings is net profit attributable to equity
shareholders, adjusted for the effect of special items and remeasurements, and
any related tax and minority interests. Special items are those items of
financial performance which the Group believes should be excluded from
performance earnings, and principally relate to impairment and significant
closure costs, exceptional legal provisions and profit or loss on disposals.
Remeasurements include unrealised gains and losses on derivative instruments
that are recorded in the income statement, and foreign exchange gains and losses
on US$ denominated De Beers preference shares held by a Rand functional
subsidiary of the Group.

The table below reconciles profit attributable to shareholders to headline
earnings and underlying earnings.
