Notes:
Shareholders electing the dividend reinvestment alternative are alerted to the fact that the new shares will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these
new shares can only be traded on LDT + 3 due to the fact that settlement of the shares will be three days after the record date, which differs from
the conventional one day after record date settlement process.
Shares may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Tuesday, 15 June 2021 and Friday, 18 June 2021, both days inclusive.
The above dates and times are subject to change. Any changes will be released on SENS.
Shareholders are advised that in electing to participate in the dividend reinvestment alternative, pre-taxation funds are utilised for the purposes
and that taxation will be due on the total cash dividend amount of 26.60000 cents per share.
This cash dividend or the dividend reinvestment alternative may have tax implications for resident as well as non-resident shareholders.
Shareholders are therefore encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
FRACTIONS
Trading in the Strate environment does not permit fractions and fractional entitlements. Where a shareholder's entitlement to the shares in relation
to the dividend reinvestment alternative gives rise to an entitlement to a fraction of a new share, such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest
whole number with the cash balance of the dividend being retained by the shareholders.
FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
The release, publication or distribution of this announcement and the circular and/or accompanying documents and the right to elect shares pursuant
to the dividend reinvestment alternative in jurisdictions other than the Republic of South Africa may be restricted or affected by the laws of such
jurisdictions, and a failure to comply with any of those restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdictions.
The shares issued pursuant to the dividend reinvestment plan have not been and will not be registered for the purposes of the election under the
securities laws of the United States, Australia, Canada, countries in the European Economic Area, Japan and Hong Kong and accordingly are not being
offered, sold, taken up, re-sold or delivered directly or indirectly to recipients with registered addresses in such jurisdictions unless certain
exemptions from the requirements of those jurisdictions are applicable.
TAX IMPLICATIONS
Castleview was granted REIT status by the JSE Limited upon listing on the JSE, in line with the REIT structure as provided for in the Income Tax Act,
No. 58 of 1962,as amended from time to time (the "Income Tax Act") and, section 13 of the JSE Listings Requirements.
The REIT structure is a tax regime that allows a REIT to deduct qualifying distributions paid to investors, in determining its taxable income.
The cash dividend of 26.60000 cents per share meets the requirements of a "qualifying distribution" for the purposes of section 25BB of the Income Tax
Act (a "qualifying distribution") with the result that:
- qualifying distributions received by resident Castleview shareholders must be included in the gross income of such shareholders (as a non-exempt
dividend in terms of section 10(1)(k)(i)(aa) of the Income Tax Act), with the effect that the qualifying distribution is taxable as income in the
hands of the Castleview shareholder. These qualifying distributions are however exempt from dividends withholding tax, provided that the South African
resident shareholders provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect of uncertificated shares, or the company,
in respect of certificated shares:
- a written undertaking to inform the CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the exemption change or the
beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
- a declaration that the dividend is exempt from dividends tax; and
in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP, broker or the
company, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the dividend, if such documents have
not already been submitted.
- qualifying distributions received by non-resident Castleview shareholders will not be taxable as income and instead will be treated as ordinary
dividends but which are exempt in terms of the usual dividend exemptions per section 10(1)(k) of the Income Tax Act. Any qualifying distribution is
subject to dividends withholding tax, at 20%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation
("DTA") between South Africa and the country of residence of the shareholder. Assuming dividends withholding tax will be withheld at a rate of 20%,
the net dividend amount due to non-resident shareholders is 21.28000 cents per share. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable
DTA, may only be relied upon if the non-resident shareholder has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, in respect
of uncertificated shares, or the company, in respect of certificated shares:
- a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA; and
- a written undertaking to inform their CSDP, broker or the company, as the case may be, should the circumstances affecting the reduced rate change
or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
both in the form prescribed by the Commissioner for the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident shareholders are advised to contact their CSDP,
broker or the company, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be submitted prior to payment of the dividend if such documents
have not already been submitted, if applicable.
Shareholders who are South African residents are advised that in electing to participate in the share dividend alternative, pre-taxation funds are utilised
for the reinvestment purposes and that taxation will be due on the total cash dividend amount of 26.60000 cents per share.
