Finalisation announcement
THE FOSCHINI GROUP LIMITED
(“TFG”)
Registration number 1937/009505/06
Share code: TFG – TFGP
ISIN: ZAE000148466 – ZAE000148516
Finalisation announcement
TFG shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 12 November 2015 wherein shareholders
were advised that TFG declared a final distribution for the half year ended 30 September 2015 by way of the issue
of fully paid ordinary shares of 1,25 cents each as a scrip distribution payable to ordinary shareholders recorded in
the register on the record date, being Friday 15 January 2016 (“scrip distribution”). As an alternative to receiving
the scrip distribution, ordinary shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their shareholding, to elect
to receive a gross cash dividend of 306,0 cents per ordinary share in lieu of the scrip distribution, which will be paid
only to those ordinary shareholders who elect to receive the cash dividend in respect of all or part of their
shareholding, on or before 12h00 on Friday 15 January 2016 (“cash dividend alternative”).
The number of ordinary shares to which shareholders participating in the scrip distribution will become entitled is
confirmed in the ratio that 306,0 cents multiplied by a factor of 1.05 bears to the volume-weighted average price
(“VWAP”) of the ordinary shares on the JSE during the 5-day trading period ending on 17 December 2015. The
VWAP is confirmed as being R117.20 hence the number of ordinary shares to which shareholders participating in
the scrip distribution will become entitled is 2.74139 shares per one hundred shares held.
The circular related to the scrip distribution and the cash dividend alternative was posted to TFG ordinary
shareholders on Wednesday 2 December 2015. The circular is also available on TFG’s website:
