CONFIRMATION OF DIVIDEND TIMETABLE FOR THE CASH 2017 FINAL
DIVIDEND, EXCHANGE RATE AND NOTIFICATION THAT SCRIP DIVIDEND
ALTERNATIVE WILL NOT BE OFFERED
On 22 February 2018, the Directors proposed a final dividend for 2017 of 9.4 pence
per share (the “Final Dividend”) subject to approval by the shareholders of the
Company at the Annual General Meeting to be held on Wednesday, 25 April 2018,
to bring the total dividend per ordinary share for the year to 14.0 pence.
The Final Dividend will be paid partly as a Property Income Distribution (“PID”) with a
gross value of 8.0 pence per share, which will be subject to deduction of a 20 per
cent UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply, and partly as a normal dividend
(“Non-PID”) with a value of 1.4 pence per share.
A scrip dividend alternative will not be offered on this occasion and all shareholders
will therefore receive the dividend in cash.

(ii) Notes for South African shareholders
PIDs
A 20 per cent UK withholding tax will be deducted from PIDs. The Company will
account to Her Majesty’s Revenue & Customs (“HMRC”) in sterling for the total UK
withholding tax deducted. SA dividends tax, at the rate of 20 per cent will apply to
cash PIDs payable by the Company unless the beneficial owner of the dividend is
exempt from SA dividends tax (e.g. if it is a South African resident company).
Under the double tax agreement between the UK and South Africa, the maximum tax
payable in the UK is 15 per cent. Therefore on application by South African resident
shareholders, 5 per cent of the PID (i.e. one quarter of the 20 per cent UK
withholding tax deducted from a PID) is claimable from HMRC, resulting in an
effective UK withholding tax rate of 15 per cent. Settlement of any claims for refund
will be calculated and settled in sterling by HMRC. As UK withholding tax will be
applicable at an effective rate of 15 per cent, the SA dividends tax liability will be
reduced to 5 per cent. In such cases the overall tax deducted will therefore be 20 per
cent (15 per cent in the UK and 5 per cent in South Africa).
The information given in section (i) above will assist with applications for refunds. For
information on PIDs and refund claims, including claim forms and guidance on how to
complete them, visit intugroup.co.uk/en/investors/shareholder-information/real-
estate-investment-trust/.
Non-PIDs
SA dividends tax at the rate of 20% will apply to cash Non-PIDs paid by the
Company, unless the beneficial owner of the Dividend is exempt from SA dividends
tax (e.g. if it is a South African resident company). Since no withholding tax is
suffered in the UK on Non-PIDs, no rebate can be claimed. The relevant regulated
intermediary (being the SA transfer secretaries or other CSDP, broker or institution,
as applicable) will therefore be required to deduct 20% tax on all cash Non-PID's paid
to persons who are not exempt from SA dividends tax, and pay this to the South
African Revenue Service.
The number of shares in issue as at the declaration date (i.e. 10 April 2018) is
1,355,040,243 ordinary shares of 50p each.
The above information and the guidelines on the taxation of dividends are provided
as a general guide based on the Company’s understanding of the law and practice
currently in force. Any shareholder who is in any doubt as to their tax position should
seek independent professional advice.
