Tax implications
South African tax resident shareholders
The receipt of the Cash Dividend may have tax implications for South African tax resident shareholders. The below
summary is generic in nature and should not be relied on as tax advice. Shareholders are advised to consult their
professional advisors regarding the tax consequences of the Cash Dividend.
No Malta dividend withholding tax is imposed on cash dividends distributed by Maltese companies. The Cash
Dividend is treated as a dividend or foreign dividend for South African tax purposes and South African tax resident
shareholders receiving the Cash Dividend will therefore be subject to South African dividends tax at a rate of 20%,
unless an exemption applies (such as, for example, in the case of a South African tax resident company shareholder
which is exempt from South African dividends tax on dividends distributed to it). Any such dividends tax will be
withheld and paid to the South African Revenue Service by the applicable regulated intermediary and the South African
tax resident shareholder will receive the Cash Dividend net of such dividends tax. The net Cash Dividend, as applicable,
should furthermore be exempt from income tax in the hands of South African tax resident shareholders.
Shareholders residing outside of South Africa
The receipt of the Cash Dividend may have tax implications for shareholders who are resident outside of South Africa,
and such shareholders are advised to obtain appropriate advice from their professional advisors in this regard.
Malta Tax
The Cash Dividend should not trigger any Maltese tax (except as further outlined below in the section titled
"Shareholders residing in Malta"), whether by way of withholding or otherwise, regardless of the country of residence
of the shareholder.
Shareholders residing in Malta
The Company, being a Maltese registered company, is considered tax resident and domiciled in Malta for Maltese
income tax purposes and is therefore subject to Maltese income tax on its worldwide income and gains at the current
corporate tax rate of 35%. A dividend by the Company out of distributable profits to any shareholder should not be
subject to any further Maltese tax (whether by way of withholding or otherwise) at the level of the shareholder, subject
to certain conditions.
However, the Company is obliged to withhold tax at the rate of 15% upon a distribution out of certain distributable
profits (which were not taxed at the level of the Company and allocated to what is referred to as its 'untaxed account')
to a shareholder who is:
(i) a person resident in Malta (other than a company);
(ii) a non-resident person (including a non-resident company) who is owned and controlled by, directly or
indirectly, or who acts on behalf of, an individual who is ordinarily resident and domiciled in Malta;
(iii) a trustee of a trust where the beneficiaries of such trust are persons referred to in (i) and (ii) above;
(iv) an individual who is a national of the EU/EEA (and his or her spouse where applicable), in specific
circumstances referred to in the Income Tax Act (Chapter 123 of the laws of Malta), when such
individual applies the tax rates applicable to Maltese-resident individuals.
Shareholders wishing to receive a dividend warrant for Maltese income tax purposes must send a request to the
Company on investorrelations@lighthouse.mt. For purposes of South African dividend reporting, the source of income
for the payment of the Cash Dividend is Malta.
Lighthouse shares in issue at the date of declaration of this dividend is 2 089 010 218 ordinary shares of EUR 0.01 per
share.
