EXCHANGE RATE FOR 2009 INTERIM DIVIDEND PAYABLE TO SHAREHOLDERS ON THE SOUTH
AFRICAN REGISTER
Liberty International PLC confirms that the South African Rand exchange rate
for the 2009 interim dividend of 5.0 pence per ordinary share to be paid on
27 October 2009, to shareholders registered on 2 October 2009, will be 12.158
ZAR to 1 GBP. Liberty International is a Real Estate Investment Trust and, as
in 2008, has chosen to pay the interim dividend as a Property Income
Distribution ("PID") which will be subject to deduction of a 20% withholding
tax.
Accordingly shareholders who hold their shares via the South African register
will receive a dividend per ordinary share as follows:
Gross amount of dividend 60.790 ZA cents (GBP pence 5.0p)
Less 20% withholding tax 12.158 ZA cents (GBP pence 1.0p)
Net dividend payable 48.632 ZA cents (GBP pence 4.0p)
South African shareholders may apply, after payment of the dividend, to the
UK tax authority for a refund of the difference between the 20% withholding
tax and the UK/South African double taxation treaty rate of 15%. Liberty
International will account to UK HM Revenue & Customs in sterling for the tax
withheld. Settlement of any claims for refund will also be calculated and
settled in sterling.
The information given above will assist with applications for refunds. For
information on PIDs and refund claims, including claim forms and guidance on
how to complete them, visit www.liberty-international.co.uk. A helpline for
questions relating to the withholding tax and to request claim forms is
available until 11 December 2009 on 0800 006 497 (+27 11 870 8218 if calling
from outside South Africa). Calls from within South Africa are toll-free.
