Further to the announcement published on Thursday, 03 December 2015, a distribution has been declared today, Friday 15 January 2016 to
holders of ETF securities ("investors") recorded in the register on Thursday, 24 December 2015, for the quarter ended 31 December 2015 as
follows:
Alpha code Dividend/Interest Foreign/ Local Gross Subject to *Withholding Net
Distribution Withholding tax Tax (%) Distribution

NFEMOM Interest Local 0.01395 No 0.01395
Dividend Local 15.35071 Yes 15 13.04810

16.03068 13.62817
The distribution will be paid on Wednesday, 20 January 2016 to all securities holders recorded on the register on Thursday, 24
December 2015.
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 (comprising only 85% 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.
Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI) came into effect on 1 March 2015.
Interest accruing from a South African source to a non-resident, excluding a controlled foreign company, will be subject to withholding tax at a
rate of 15% on payment, except interest,
• arising on any Government debt instrument
• arising on any listed debt instrument
• arising on any debt owed by a bank or the South African Reserve Bank
• arising from a bill of exchange or letter of credit where goods are imported into South Africa and where an authorized dealer has certified such
on the instrument
• payable by a headquarter company
• accruing to a non-resident natural person who was physically present in South Africa for a period exceeding 183 days in aggregate, during that
year, or carried on a business through a permanent establishment in South Africa
Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprise of any interest, it will not be subject to WTI by virtue of
the fact that it is listed debt instruments and/or bank debt.
*Investors should seek advice from their tax advisor on whether the tax and rate shown is applicable to them.
South African tax resident investors relating to REITS
**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:
a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
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.
