INTERWASTE SCHEME FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Introduction
Unless otherwise indicated, capitalised words and terms contained in this announcement shall
bear the meanings ascribed to them in the Circular (as defined below).
1.1 Shareholders are referred to:
1.1.1 the circular issued and posted by Interwaste to Shareholders on
5 December 2018 ("Circular") regarding the Scheme of Arrangement in terms of
section 114 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, proposed by the Interwaste Board
between Interwaste and the Shareholders ("Interwaste Scheme"); and
1.1.2 the announcement released on SENS on Wednesday, 9 January 2019 pursuant
to the Scheme Meeting held on the same day, at which the special and ordinary
resolutions set out in the Notice of Scheme Meeting (which was attached to and
formed part of the Circular) were passed by the requisite majorities.
2. Fulfilment of Scheme Conditions
The Interwaste Board is pleased to advise that all of the Scheme Conditions have been fulfilled
or waived. Accordingly, the Scheme has become unconditional with effect from Friday,
15 February 2019.

which are unchanged from those indicatively indicated in the Circular, are set out below:

4. Dividends Withholding Tax in respect of Repurchase Alternative
Where an Interwaste Scheme Participant is not exempt from Dividends Withholding Tax
(“DWT”) and elects the Repurchase Alternative, DWT will be withheld from the gross amount
of R1.20. Unless an Interwaste Scheme Participant is subject to DWT at a lesser rate, the
applicable DWT withholding rate is 20% and, accordingly, the net amount payable will
therefore be R0.96. In order to prevent (or reduce) such withholding, Interwaste Scheme
Participants electing the Repurchase Alternative who are exempt from DWT (or subject to
DWT at a lesser rate) must provide their regulated intermediary with the requisite SARS
declaration and undertaking as soon as possible but in any event before 12h00 on the Scheme
Record Date (or such earlier date as may be required in terms of their mandate with their
CSDP or Broker).
