RICHEMONT SECURITIES SA – WITHHOLDING TAX RECLAIM LETTERS AND CLAIM FOR REFUND FORMS
In the dividend declaration announcement of 11 September 2014, Richemont Securities SA advised depositary receipt (DR) holders that the withholding tax reclaim cover letters and claim for refund forms for Swiss withholding tax would be mailed out on 3 October 2014. The claim for refund forms are part of a programme operated by Richemont Securities SA for South African tax residents who will generally be eligible to recover 20 per cent of the 35 per cent Swiss withholding tax levied on the Compagnie Financière Richemont SA dividend paid to DR holders on 3 October 2014.
The South African post office has been experiencing strike action resulting in a significant disruption to the receipt of mail. This means that it is not currently feasible to mail the claim for refund forms to DR holders. We will endeavour to have these reclaim letters sent to DR holders as soon as practical.
In the interim, copies of these letters and claim forms may be collected in person, from:
Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Limited,
70 Marshall Street,
Johannesburg, 2001,
South Africa
DR holders should make prior arrangements with Computershare by calling in advance on 086 110 0931. Claim documents will be ready for collection within 2 business days from the date of the request being received.
To assist in the reclaim process, the completed claim for refund forms must be returned to Computershare at the address given above. As a result of this strike action, an extension to the submission dates of these completed claims for refund forms will be advised in a follow up letter and will be announced on SENS.
Please note that holders of certificated DRs that are held outside the Strate settlement system and who normally receive their dividend payments by cheque should be aware that these cheques will only be mailed to you once the strike action is over. Alternatively, DR holders may contact Computershare to provide their bank details in order to have their dividend payments made electronically.
