The distribution will be paid on Tuesday, 21 October 2014 to all securities holders recorded on the register on Friday, 26 September 2014.
The net distribution amount (after the deduction of Dividend Withholding Tax (''DWT'') at a current rate of 15%) will be re-invested in the ETF on
behalf of investors through the purchase of additional Constituent Securities (as defined in the relevant Portfolio Supplement) in the appropriate
weightings, thereby increasing the net asset value of the ETF and, proportionately increasing the value of each ETF security. As a consequence of
reinvesting the net distribution amount (after the deduction of DWT), the ETF will be tracking the relevant total return net-of-dividend tax index.
Investors qualifying for exemption from DWT or a reduced rate of DWT per Double Tax Agreement ("DTA"), will receive, in cash, a distribution amount
of the applicable DWT, provided they have completed and timeously lodged with the relevant intermediary the prescribed declaration and undertaking form.
Failure to do so will result in the dividends tax being withheld in full.
Investors should seek advice from their tax advisor on whether the tax and rate shown is applicable to them.
South African tax resident investors
**The dividend distribution by a REIT received by South African tax residents must be included in their gross income and will not be exempt in terms
of the ordinary dividend exemption in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962 ("the Act") as a result of paragraph (aa) of the
proviso thereto which provides that dividends distributed by a REIT are not exempt from income tax.
No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident qualifying for exemption from dividend withholding
tax provided that the investor has provided the following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case may
be in respect of its participatory interest:
b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the exemption change or the beneficial
owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South African tax resident investors are
advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the
distribution, if such documents have not already been submitted.
Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms of section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act, but will be
subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend withholding tax is levied at a rate of 15%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable
agreement for the avoidance of double taxation ("DTA") between South Africa and the country of residence of the non-resident investor.
A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-resident investor has provided the following
forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in respect of its participatory interest:
a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA; and
b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial
owner cease to be the beneficial owner, both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to contact
their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such
documents have not already been submitted.
Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate
action to take.
