Australian tax implications
The Company has received a draft Class Ruling from the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), which states that,
based on the Company's submission, no portion of a Capital Return should be considered a dividend for
income tax purposes for Shareholders who hold their shares on capital account for tax purposes and are not
subject to the taxation of financial arrangements. Neither the Company nor any Shareholder will be subject to
withholding tax. Furthermore, no foreign (outside Australia) shareholder will be subject to any Australian
Capital Gains Tax (CGT) by way of the Capital Return.
The draft Class Ruling is not binding on the ATO and may not be relied upon by Shareholders until a final
Class Ruling is issued by the ATO. Consistent with usual practice, the final Class Ruling will not be published
by the ATO until after the payment date for the Capital Return. When the final Class Ruling is issued by the
ATO, it will be published on the ATO's website (https://www.ato.gov.au) and the Company's website.
Shareholders are advised to seek their own professional tax advice in relation to the Capital Return as the tax
consequences for each shareholder may vary depending on their individual circumstances.
The information in this announcement does not take into account the individual circumstances of each
shareholder and does not constitute tax advice. Accordingly, Shareholders should seek their own professional
advice in relation to their tax position.
In particular, Shareholders who are not residents of Australia for tax purposes or do not hold their shares on
capital account should seek specific advice in relation to the taxation consequences of the Capital Return in
their circumstances, including those arising under the laws of their country of residence.
Defined terms used in this announcement have the same meanings as those ascribed to them in the Notice
and/or Explanatory Statement unless the context requires otherwise.
