Tax implications of the dividend
Further to the announcement made on 11 January 2018, 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 68.2115 South African cents per share. Therefore, the net dividend of 54.5692
South African cents per share will be paid after 13.6423 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 68.2115 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.
Shareholders and Depositary Interest holders should note that information provided should not
be regarded as tax advice.
