("Novus Holdings" or "the Group")
SPECIAL DIVIDEND DECLARATION
Shareholders are referred to the audited results for the year ended 31 March 2023 announced on SENS
on 19 June 2023 wherein the Group stated that it remained committed to returning any surplus cash
to shareholders and will continuously review this position and notify shareholders accordingly. The
board of directors of Novus Holdings ("the Board") has since evaluated the surplus cash reserves
available for distribution to shareholders following the receipt of proceeds from the sale of property
and the reduction of working capital in the Print division. The Board is pleased to announce the
declaration of a special cash dividend of 50 cents per share.
The source of the dividend is from distributable reserves and will be paid in cash. The dividend declared
is subject to dividend withholding tax at 20%. The tax payable is 10 cents per share, leaving shareholders
who are not exempt from dividends tax with a net dividend of 40 cents per share. The special dividend
is subject to Exchange Control approval. A further announcement will be released on the finalisation
date, once the Exchange Control approval has been obtained.
Novus Holdings has 346 656 348 shares in issue as at the date of this declaration. As set out in the
announcement released on SENS on 19 January 2024, Novus Holdings is in the process of making
application to the JSE for the delisting and cancellation of 1 142 086 repurchased shares, together with
the delisting and cancellation of a further 2 331 239 treasury shares, amounting to a total of 3 473 325
shares. Accordingly, Novus Holdings will have 343 183 023 shares in issue as at the record date. The
income tax reference number is 9656/360/15/4.
