EFFECT OF THE NEW DIVIDEND WITHHOLDING TAX ("DWT") ON DISTRIBUTION AMOUNTS:
Investors are advised that with effect from 1 April 2012,
all dividends paid to investors will be subject to DWT at a current rate of
15% except where an investor is exempt or qualifies for a reduced rate of
DWT.
Investors exempt from DWT, or holders qualifying for a reduced rate per
Double Tax Agreement ("DTA") will receive in cash (if any), the gross
distribution amount or the gross distribution amount less the DWT at the
applicable reduced rate respectively from their relevant intermediary,
provided they have completed and timeously lodged with their relevant
intermediary the prescribed declaration and undertaking form. Failure to do
so will result in dividends tax being withheld in full.
Where an investor is not exempt from DWT, the DWT withheld from the gross
distribution (if any) will be paid to the South African Revenue
Service("SARS"), by the relevant Central Securities Depository Participant
("CSDP") or Broker nominee company, which is the final regulated
intermediary in terms of the ITA (the "relevant intermediary"). The
remaining distribution (the gross distribution less the amount withheld for
dividend tax) will be paid in cash to investors by their relevant
intermediary.
Investors wishing to reinvest the cash amount received may do so via their
usual investment process, the amount received will not be automatically
reinvested.
