The interim cash dividend was paid wholly as an ordinary dividend (Non-PID). There was no PID element of the interim cash dividend.

Information for shareholders
The information below is included only as a general guide to taxation for shareholders based on Shaftesbury Capital's understanding of the law and the practice currently in force. Any shareholder who is in any doubt as to their tax position should seek independent professional advice.
UK shareholders
There was no PID element of the interim cash dividend. The entire interim cash dividend was paid as an ordinary dividend (Non-PID) and therefore treated as an ordinary UK company dividend.
South African shareholders
The interim cash dividend paid by the Company is a foreign payment and the funds are sourced from the UK.
PIDs: There was no PID element of the interim cash dividend.
Non-PID: The entire interim cash dividend was paid as an ordinary UK dividend (Non-PID), and as such the entire interim cash dividend is exempt from income tax but will constitute a dividend for SA Dividends Tax purposes, as it is declared in respect of a share listed on the exchange operated by the JSE. SA Dividends Tax was therefore withheld from the entire interim cash dividend at a rate of 20 per cent, unless a shareholder qualified for an exemption and the prescribed requirements for effecting the exemption were in place by the requisite date.
Additional information on PIDs and ordinary dividends (Non-PIDs) can be found here.
