recorded as such in the register on Friday, 22 January 2021, for the quarter ended 31 December 2020 as
follows:
NFNAMB
Cents per ETF security, comprising of Interest 34.7750
Investors are advised that the distribution amount is net of permissible expenses and scrip
lending income. The distribution amount does not comprise of any dividends; therefore, no

Holders of the ETF securities should note the following dates in relation to the distribution:

Securities trading ‘ex’ distribution Wednesday, 20 January 2021
Record date Friday, 22 January 2021
Payment date Monday, 25 January 2021
In accordance with the investment policy of the ETFs, the distribution will be re-invested on behalf of
investors via the purchase by the ETF of additional Constituent Securities, or Index Constituents, (as
defined in the relevant Portfolio Supplement) in the appropriate weightings, thereby increasing the net
asset value of the ETF and, proportionately increasing the value of each ETF security.
The distribution should:
- be added to the base cost of each ETF security for capital gains tax purposes; or
- where the ETF securities are held as trading stock be regarded as part of the cost of acquiring an ETF
security.
Reinvestments into the portfolio still constitute a notional distribution even though it will not be paid in
cash. Consequently, it forms part of investors' gross income as it is subject to tax.
Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI) came into effect on 1 March 2015.
Interest accruing from a South African source to a non-resident, excluding a controlled foreign company,
will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15% on payment, except interest,
- arising on any Government debt instrument
- arising on any listed debt instrument
- arising on any debt owed by a bank or the South African Reserve Bank
- arising from a bill of exchange or letter of credit where goods are imported into South Africa and where
an authorised dealer has certified such on the instrument
- payable by a headquarter company

exceeding 183 days in aggregate, during that year, or carried on a business through a permanent

Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprise of any interest, it is
not subject to WTI by virtue of the fact that it is Government debt, listed debt instruments and/or
bank debt.
