INTERIM DIVIDEND DECLARATION
The directors of the company have resolved to declare a gross cash dividend
from retained income in respect of the 26-week period ended 25 December
2011 in the amount of 169 cents (2010: 128 cents, excluding secondary tax
on companies ("STC")) per share to shareholders reflected in the company`s
register on the record date, being Thursday, 26 April 2012.
The last day to trade in the company`s shares cum dividend is Thursday, 19
April 2012. Trading in the company`s shares ex dividend will commence on
Friday, 20 April 2012. Consequently no dematerialisation or
rematerialisation of the company`s shares may take place over the period
from Friday, 20 April 2012 to Thursday, 26 April 2012, both days inclusive.
The dividend will be payable in South African Rand on Monday, 30 April
2012.
Dividends will be paid net of dividends tax of 15%, to be withheld and paid
to the South African Revenue Service by the company. Such tax must be
withheld unless beneficial owners of the dividend have provided the
necessary documentary proof to the relevant regulated intermediary (being a
broker, CSD participant, nominee company or the company`s transfer
secretaries Computershare Investor Services (Pty) Ltd, PO Box 62212,
Marshalltown, 2107 South Africa) that they are exempt therefrom, or
entitled to a reduced rate, as a result of a double taxation agreement
between South Africa and the country of tax domicile of such owner.
The withholding tax, if applicable at the rate of 15%, will result in a net
cash dividend per share of 143.65 cents. No STC credits were utilised when
determining the net dividend. The company has 460 867 595 ordinary shares
in issue on 3 April 2012.
In accordance with the company`s memorandum of incorporation, the directors
have determined that gross dividends amounting to less than 1 000 cents,
due to any one shareholder of the company`s shares held in certificated
form, will not be paid, unless otherwise requested in writing, but the net
amount aggregated with other such net amounts and donated to a charity to
be nominated by the directors.
