Dividends

The Directors of Shaftesbury Capital PLC have declared an interim cash dividend of 2.2 pence per ordinary share (ISIN GB00B62G9D36) payable on Wednesday, 23 September 2026.

Dates

The following are the salient dates for the payment of the 2026 interim cash dividend:

* South African shareholders should note that, in accordance with the requirements of Strate, the last day to trade cum-dividend on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange will be Tuesday, 25 August 2026. No dematerialisation or rematerialisation of shares will be possible from Wednesday, 26 August 2026 to Friday, 28 August 2026 inclusive. No transfers between the UK and South African registers may take place from close of business on Wednesday, 12 August 2026 to Friday, 28 August 2026 inclusive.

The above dates are proposed and subject to change.

The interim cash dividend will be paid wholly as a Property Income Distribution (“PID”). There will be no Non-PID (ordinary dividend) element of the interim cash dividend. As such, the entire interim cash dividend will be subject to a deduction of a 20 per cent UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply.

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. The Company accepts no responsibility for such general guidance and any shareholder who is in any doubt as to their tax position should seek independent professional advice. 

UK shareholders

The interim cash dividend will be paid wholly as a PID. Certain categories of shareholders may be eligible for exemption from the 20 per cent UK withholding tax and may register to receive their dividends on a gross basis. Further information, including the required forms, is available from the ‘Shareholder information’ section of the Company’s website, or on request from the Company’s UK registrar, MUFG Corporate Markets. Validly completed forms must be received by MUFG Corporate Markets no later than the dividend record date, as advised; otherwise the dividend will be paid after deduction of tax. 

There will be no Non-PID element of the interim cash dividend.

South African shareholders

The 2026 interim cash dividend declared by the Company is a foreign payment and the funds are sourced from the UK. 

PID: The interim cash dividend will be paid wholly as a PID and a 20 per cent UK withholding tax is applicable to a PID. As such, South African shareholders may apply to HMRC after payment of the interim cash dividend for a refund of the difference between the 20 per cent UK withholding tax and the UK/South African double taxation treaty rate of 15 per cent.

The interim cash dividend will be exempt from income tax but will constitute a dividend for Dividends Tax purposes, as it will be declared in respect of a share listed on the exchange operated by the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. South African Dividends Tax will therefore be withheld from the 2026 interim cash dividend at a rate of 20 per cent, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption and the prescribed requirements for effecting the exemption are in place by the requisite date. Certain shareholders may also qualify for a reduction of South African Dividends Tax liability to 5 per cent (being the difference between the South African dividends tax rate and the effective UK withholding tax rate of 15 per cent) if the prescribed requirements for effecting the reduction are in place by the requisite date.

Non-PID: There will be no Non-PID element of the interim cash dividend.

Other overseas shareholders

Other non-UK shareholders may be able to make claims for a refund of UK withholding tax deducted pursuant to the application of a relevant double taxation convention. UK withholding tax refunds can only be claimed from HMRC, the UK tax authority.
