Tax implications of the dividend
Shareholders and Depositary Interest holders should note that
information provided should not be regarded as tax advice.
Shareholders are advised that the dividend declared will be paid
out of income reserves and may therefore be subject to dividend
withholding tax depending on the tax residency of the
shareholder.
South African tax residents
South African shareholders are advised that the dividend
constitutes a foreign dividend. For individual South African tax
resident shareholders, dividend withholding tax of 20% will be
applied to the gross dividend of 55.40800 South African cents per
share. Therefore, the net dividend of 44.3264 South African cents
per share will be paid after 11.0816 South African cents in terms
of dividend withholding tax has been applied. Shareholders who are
South African tax resident companies are exempt from dividend tax
and will receive the dividend of 55.40800 South African cents per
share. This does not constitute legal or tax advice and is based on
taxation law and practice in South Africa. Shareholders should
consult their brokers, financial and/or tax advisors with regard to
how they will be impacted by the payment of the dividend.
UK tax residents
UK tax residents are advised that the dividend constitutes a
foreign dividend and that they should consult their brokers,
financial and/or tax advisors with regard to how they will be
impacted by the payment of the dividend.
Cyprus tax residents
Individual Cyprus tax residents are advised that the dividend
constitutes a local dividend and that they should consult their
brokers, financial and/or tax advisors with regard to how they will
be impacted by the payment of the dividend.
