Finalisation announcement for the share re-investment alternative
Shareholders are referred to Delta’s reviewed provisional results for the year ended 28 February
2015 released on SENS on Friday, 22 May 2015 (“the results announcement”) which included
reference to a cash dividend in the amount of 44.05542 cents per Delta share (“the cash dividend”)
with the option to re-invest the cash dividend (“the share re-investment alternative”). Full details of
the share re-investment alternative were also set out in a circular posted to shareholders on Friday,
22 May 2015 (“the circular”).
The price applicable to a Delta shareholder electing the share re-investment alternative is R8.65582
(“the re-investment price”), being the five-day volume weighted average traded price (ex-dividend)
of Delta shares prior to the finalisation date of 29 May 2015.
The re-investment price represents a 2.74% discount to the cum dividend closing price of Delta on 28
May 2015 of R8.90 and a 4.84% discount to the cum dividend five-day volume weighted average
traded price of Delta shares prior to 29 May 2015 of R9.10.
Dividend withholding tax (“Dividend Tax”) implications
Dividend Tax implications for South African resident shareholders
Dividends are exempt from dividend withholding tax in the hands of South African resident
shareholders provided that South African resident shareholders have submitted to the CSDP or
broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated shares, or the transfer secretaries in respect
of certificated shares, the requisite declaration as fully set out in paragraph 5 of the circular.
Accordingly, South African resident shareholders who have submitted the requisite documentation
and are exempt from Dividend Tax, will receive a net dividend of 44.05542 cents per Delta share.
Dividend Tax implication for non-resident shareholders
Dividends received by non-resident shareholders are subject to Dividend Tax unless the rate is
reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation between South
Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident shareholders, provided that the non-resident
shareholders have submitted to the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated
shares, or the transfer secretaries in respect of certificated shares, the requisite declarations as fully
set out in paragraph 5 of the circular. Accordingly, if Dividend Tax is withheld at the current rate of
15%, the net dividend amount due to non-resident shareholders is 37.44711 cents per Delta share.
Shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to
the appropriate action to take.

Timetable
The salient dates and times for the cash dividend and the share re-investment alternative are set out
in the results announcement and the circular and remain unchanged.
Shareholders electing the share re-investment alternative are alerted to the fact that the new shares
will be listed on Last day to trade (“LDT”) + 3 and that these shares can only be traded on LDT + 3
due to the fact that settlement of the shares will be three days after the record date, which differs
from the conventional one day after record date settlement process.
