ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PRICE AND CONFIRMATION OF FINALISATION INFORMATION
REINVESTMENT ALTERNATIVE
Shareholders are referred to Fairvest’s summarised consolidated results for the six months ended
31 December 2016, as announced on the JSE’s Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 2 March 2017, advising
that Fairvest’s board of directors has approved and declared an interim gross distribution of 8.953 cents per share
for the six-month period ended 31 December 2016, with a reinvestment alternative (“Reinvestment Alternative”).
Additional information regarding the distribution and the Reinvestment Alternative, including the tax treatment
and timetable, was released by Fairvest in a separate SENS announcement on 2 March 2017 (“Detailed
Announcement”).
In terms of the Reinvestment Alternative, shareholders will be entitled, in respect of all or part of their
shareholdings, to elect to reinvest the cash dividend of 8.953 cents per share, in return for Fairvest ordinary shares,
failing which they will receive the cash dividend. Further details regarding the Reinvestment Alternative can be
found in the circular distributed to Fairvest shareholders on 24 March 2017 (“Circular”).
REINVESTMENT PRICE
Fairvest confirms that the price applicable to shareholders electing the Reinvestment Alternative and recorded in
the register on Thursday, 13 April 2017 (“Record Date”), is R1.81322 per new Fairvest share (“Reinvestment
Price”).
The Reinvestment Price is equal to a 2.5% discount to the volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of R1.94924
at which Fairvest shares traded on the JSE over the five days prior to the finalisation date of 31 March 2017, less
the dividend for the six months ended 31 December 2016 of 8.953 cents per share.
The Reinvestment Price is at a discount of 2.5% to Fairvest’s closing share price of R1.95 on Thursday, 30 March
2017, less the dividend for the six months ended 31 December 2016 of 8.953 cents per share.
DIVIDEND WITHHOLDING TAX (“DIVIDEND TAX”) IMPLICATIONS
Dividend Tax implications for South African resident shareholders
Dividends received from a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) are exempt from Dividend Tax in the hands of
South African resident shareholders provided that the shareholders have provided the requisite documentation,
as detailed in paragraph 4 of the Circular. South African resident shareholders, who have submitted the requisite
documentation and are exempt from Dividend Tax, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 8.953 cents per share.
Dividend Tax implications for non-resident shareholders
Dividends received from a REIT by a non-resident shareholder are subject to Dividend Tax at 20%, 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 shareholder. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms
of the applicable DTA may only be relied upon if the non-resident shareholder has provided the requisite
documentation as detailed in paragraph 4 of the Circular. Non-resident shareholders who have submitted the
requisite documentation, and assuming that a Dividend Tax rate of 20% is applicable, will accordingly receive a
net dividend of 7.16240 cents per share.
The impact of Dividend Tax on shareholders has been illustrated by way of the example below:
South African resident Non-resident shareholder
shareholders exempt from subject to dividend Tax at
Dividend Tax 20%
Dividend per share (cents) 8.95300 8.95300
Dividend Tax per share (cents) (0.00000) (1.79060)
Total net dividend per share (cents) 8.95300 7.16240
Reinvestment Price (R) R1.81322 R1.81322
Number of shares issued per 100 4.93762 3.95009
shares held (ratio)
Due to the fact that the cash dividend or Reinvestment Alternative may have tax implications for resident and
non-resident shareholders, shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in
any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
TRADING OF FAIRVEST SHARES
Further to the Detailed Announcement, shareholders electing the Reinvestment Alternative are reminded of the
fact that the new shares will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded on LDT + 3, being
Thursday, 13 April 2017, due to the fact that settlement of the shares will occur on Thursday, 20 April 2017, three
business days after Record Date, which differs from the conventional one business day after Record Date
settlement process.
Shareholders are reminded that the last day to elect to receive Reinvestment Alternative is 12:00 (South African
time) on Thursday, 13 April 2017.
The salient dates, timetable and all other information relating to the cash dividend and Reinvestment Alternative
disclosed in the Detailed Announcement and Circular remain unchanged.
