CUMULATIVE, REDEEMABLE “B” PREFERENCE SHARE (““B” Preference Share”) CASH DIVIDEND &
VOLUNTARY PARTIAL REDEMPTION
Notice is hereby given that:
(i) the directors of Tradehold have declared a gross cash dividend (“the Cash
Dividend”) of 1407.63288 cents per “B” Preference Share for the dividend period
from 15 September 2021 to 20 December 2021 (both dates inclusive). The amount
payable will be derived from Tradehold’s operations in the United Kingdom; and
(ii) Tradehold wishes to redeem 12,483 “B” Preference Shares at a redemption amount
of ZAR1,000 being an aggregate return of capital of R12,483,000 on 20 December
2021 (“the Voluntary Redemption”). The amount payable will be derived from
Tradehold’s operations in the United Kingdom.
The Cash Dividend constitutes a foreign dividend, as defined in section 1 of the Income
Tax Act, 1962 (“ITA”), and is a dividend for purposes of dividends tax (“DT”) imposed
under Part VIII of Chapter II of the ITA, since the “B” Preference Shares are listed
on the JSE Limited and thus constitute a “listed share”, as contemplated in section 64D
of the ITA.
An exemption from DT is provided for in the ITA in respect of:
(i) foreign dividends paid to a South African resident company; or
(ii) dividends paid to a non-resident to the extent that the dividend is paid by a
foreign company in respect of listed shares, provided certain administrative
procedures are complied with.
In terms of the ITA, DT of 20% will be withheld for those holders of “B” Preference
Shares (““B” Preference Shareholders”) who are not exempt from DT. “B” Preference
Shareholders who are not exempt from DT will therefore receive a net dividend of
1126.10630 cents per “B” Preference Share.
The Voluntary Redemption will be funded from internally generated cash flows of
Tradehold. After the Voluntary Redemption, Tradehold will have 1,003,488 “B” Preference
Shares in issue. The Voluntary Redemption will be made pro rata among the holders of
“B” Preference Shareholders in proportion to their respective holdings of “B” Preference
Shares.
Tradehold’s income tax reference number is 9725/126/71/9.
