FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE CASH DIVIDEND
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 28 FEBRUARY 2019
RDI shareholders are referred to the announcement released on 25
April 2019 regarding the interim dividend of 4.00 pence per share
in respect of the six months ended 28 February 2019 (the "cash
dividend").
Shareholders are advised that the GBP to Rand conversion rate is
18.15000. Accordingly, the Rand equivalent of the cash dividend of
4.00 pence is 72.60000 ZAR cents.
Shareholders will receive the cash dividend as a Property Income
Distribution ("PID"), calculated as follows:
Shareholders on
Shareholders on the the
UK share register SA share register
PID element (gross) 4.00 72.60000
-------------------- -------------------
Less 20% UK withholding
tax* 0.80 14.52000
-------------------- -------------------
PID element (net of 20%) 3.20 58.08000
-------------------- -------------------
Less 5% SA withholding
tax** N/A 3.63000
-------------------- -------------------
PID element (net of 25%) N/A 54.45000
-------------------- -------------------
* Certain categories of UK shareholders may apply for exemption,
in which case the PID element will be paid gross.
** A 5% rebate is reclaimable from the UK's HM Revenue &
Customs, resulting in an effective UK withholding tax rate of 15%.
Therefore, an additional 5% South African withholding tax is to be
deducted by the relevant regulated intermediary on all cash PIDs
paid to persons who are not exempt from dividends tax in South
Africa and paid to the South African Revenue Service on the
beneficial owner's behalf. As a result, the initial withholding tax
rate on cash PIDs for non-exempt South African shareholders will be
25%.
The cash dividend will be paid out of the Company's
distributable profits.
The salient dates for payment of the cash dividend published in
the announcement dated 25 April 2019, remain unchanged.
As at the date of this announcement, the Company has 380 089 923
ordinary shares of 40 pence each in issue.
