CAPITALISATION SHARE AWARD WITH CASH DIVIDEND ALTERNATIVE
FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT
Shareholders are referred to the announcement on the JSE’s Stock Exchange News Service on

award in respect of the 26-week period ended 27 December 2015. The terms used in this finalisation
announcement are consistent with those used in the declaration announcement, unless otherwise
stated.
Truworths confirms that the volume-weighted average price over the three day period ended Tuesday
8 March 2016 applicable to the capitalisation share award is R92.1796, and accordingly the number of
ordinary shares to which shareholders participating in the capitalisation share award will become
entitled to is 3.04623 new ordinary shares per 100 ordinary shares held as at the record date.
As an alternative to receiving the capitalisation share award, shareholders are entitled to elect, in
respect of all or part of their shareholding, to receive a gross cash dividend of 270 cents per ordinary
share. The withholding tax, at the rate of 15% if applicable, will result in a net cash dividend per share
of 229.50 cents.
