RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND FINALISATION INFORMATION
REGARDING THE SPECIAL DIVIDEND
Basil Read shareholders are advised that, at the annual general meeting of
the Company held today, 6 June 2013, at the Basil Read Campus, 7 Romeo
Street, Hughes Extension, Boksburg, all the resolutions as set out in the
Notice of Annual General Meeting contained in the 2012 annual financial
statements, were passed by the requisite majority of shareholders.
The special resolution will be filed with the Companies and Intellectual
Property Commission in due course.
In addition, shareholders are advised that ordinary resolution number 3
relating to the special dividend, declared in the trading update
announcement released on 15 March 2013 on the Stock Exchange News Service,
has been approved by the requisite majority of shareholders.
Accordingly, the following finalisation information is provided in respect
of the special dividend:
The special gross dividend of 175 cents per share has been declared from
income reserves (the purchase consideration of the disposal) and no
secondary tax on companies’ credits has been used. A dividend withholding
tax of 15% will therefore be applicable to all shareholders who are not
exempt. The special dividend net of dividend withholding tax thus amounts
to 148.75 cents per share.
The issued share capital of Basil Read at the finalisation date is 131 694
281 ordinary shares. The tax reference number of Basil Read is 9950051715.
