DIVIDEND FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT AND ISSUE OF ADDITIONAL NEW SHARES
I. Finalisation announcement in respect of the cash dividend
Universal Partners shareholders are referred to the cash dividend announcement released on the Stock Exchange
News Service of the JSE Limited ("JSE") ("SENS") and the website of the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd ("SEM") on
Tuesday, 16 May 2023, regarding the declaration of a cash dividend of 10 GBP pence per share.
Shareholders holding shares traded on the JSE will receive their cash dividend in South African Rand ("ZAR") converted
from Pound Sterling ("GBP") at an exchange rate of GBP 1.00 : ZAR 24.0495, being the rate at which Universal Partners
has fixed to convert from GBP to ZAR on 17 May 2023. Accordingly, the cash dividend of 10 GBP pence per share will
be 240.495 ZAR cents per share. Shareholders holding shares traded on the SEM will receive their cash dividend in
Pounds Sterling.
Dividend tax (and therefore the information provided in this paragraph) is only of direct application to shareholders
holding shares traded on the JSE. The gross local dividend amount is 240.495 ZAR cents per share for shareholders
exempt from paying dividends tax. The net local dividend amount is 192.396 ZAR cents per share for shareholders
liable to pay the dividend tax rate of 20%.
The cash dividend will be paid from Mauritius and there is no withholding tax payable in Mauritius. However, the
dividend may have tax implications for shareholders holding Universal Partners shares on the Mauritian register. The
relevant shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisors regarding the tax consequences, in any, of the
dividend, should they be in doubt.
The salient dates and times announced on Tuesday, 16 May 2023 in the cash dividend announcement remain
unchanged.
