Tax implications
South Africa
The statements in this section relate only to certain limited aspects of the South African taxation of the distribution by
Greenbay. Shareholders should note that the summary is a general guide to the South African tax regime currently in
place and is not exhaustive. Greenbay shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisors regarding the tax
consequences of the distribution. This section does not constitute advice and applies only to South African tax resident
shareholders who are the beneficial owners of the shares and relevant distributions and applies only in relation to shares
that are listed on the JSE.
In respect of South African tax resident shareholders ("resident shareholders"), as the distribution is being paid from
non-distributable reserves, the distribution is treated for Mauritian income tax purposes as a distribution or similar
payment (other than an amount that constitutes a dividend or similar payment) and will as such constitute a 'foreign
return of capital' as defined in section 1 of the South African Income Tax Act., No. 58 of 1962 (the "SA Income Tax
Act").
In terms of paragraph 76B of the Eighth Schedule to the SA Income Tax Act such shareholders will be required to
reduce the base cost of their Greenbay shares with the amount of the foreign return of capital (being 0,25960 Euro cents
per Greenbay share before the consolidation, and 5.19200 Euro cents per share subsequent to the consolidation). If the
amount of the foreign return of capital exceeds the base cost of the Greenbay shares in the hands of the resident
shareholder, the excess will constitute a capital gain in the hands of the shareholder and the shareholder must account
for capital gains tax on such capital gain, unless the shareholder can rely on a capital gains tax exemption.
A foreign return of capital is not subject to dividends tax.
Mauritius
The distribution may have tax implications for shareholders holding Greenbay shares on the Mauritian share register.
Shareholders who hold their Greenbay shares on the Mauritian share register are advised to consult their professional
advisors regarding the tax consequences, if any, of the distribution should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate
action to take.
There is no withholding tax payable in Mauritius.
As at the date of this announcement, Greenbay has 9 488 106 526 ordinary shares of no par value in issue. With effect
from 18 December 2018, subsequent to the consolidation of shares on a 1 for 20 basis, Greenbay will have 474 405 326
ordinary shares of no par value in issue.
The Company has a primary listing on the Official Market of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd ("SEM") and the
Main Board of the JSE Limited ("JSE").
