REINET INVESTMENTS S.C.A. ("REINET") – EXCHANGE RATE APPLICABLE FOR DIVIDEND PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF ORDINARY SHARES LISTED ON THE JOHANNESBURG STOCK EXCHANGE
The dividend payable to holders of Reinet ordinary shares listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange ("Reinet South African Shares") is payable in rand via central security depository participants in Strate for all holdings of dematerialised Reinet South African Shares.
The total dividend of EUR 0.25000 per share from income reserves, as recommended by Reinet, has been approved by shareholders of Reinet at the annual general meeting held on Monday, 30 August 2021 in Luxembourg.
There is no Luxembourg withholding tax payable on dividends which may be declared by Reinet.
In 2013 Reinet sought clarification from the South African Revenue Service ('SARS') as to the treatment of any dividends to be declared by Reinet and paid to holders of depository receipts issued by Reinet Securities SA in respect of Reinet ordinary shares. This ruling from SARS was renewed for a further 5 years on 8 March 2018 in respect of any dividends to be declared by Reinet and paid to holders of Reinet South African Shares. SARS confirmed to Reinet that any such dividends would be treated as 'foreign dividends' as defined in the Income Tax Act No. 58 of 1962. Accordingly, any such dividends would be subject to South African dividends withholding tax at 20 per cent in the hands of holders of Reinet South African Shares unless those holders of Reinet South African Shares are otherwise exempt from the tax. Non-resident holders of Reinet South African Shares are required to fill in the appropriate SARS declaration form, if they wish to be exempted from the tax.
The exchange rate applicable for the conversion of euro to rand for payment of the Reinet South African Share dividend is ZAR 17.21580 : Euro 1. Accordingly, the net dividend payable per Reinet South African Share is 344.31600 ZAR cents, as set out in the table below:
Gross dividend South African Net dividend
per share dividend tax per share
(in ZAR cents) at 20% (in ZAR cents)
(in ZAR cents)
Total 430.39500 (86.07900) 344.31600
