CAPITAL REDUCTION AND CASH DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION
On 27 November 2024, subsequent to year-end, the board of directors declared a capital reduction
distribution of 16.40 cents per Trematon ordinary share ("Share") (2023: 32.0 cents) as a return
of contributed tax capital and a cash dividend distribution of 6.60 cents per share from income
reserves (2023: nil cents) (collectively "the Distribution") to shareholders recorded in the share
register of the company at the close of business on Friday, 20 December 2024. The total
Distribution will equate to R51.2 million (23.0 cents per share).
In compliance with IAS 10: Events after the Balance Sheet Date, the Distribution will only be
accounted for in the financial statements in the year ending 31 August 2025.
Future distributions will be decided on a year-to-year basis.
The implications of the Distribution on shareholders are as follows:
- The capital reduction distribution of 16.40 cents per Share is not subject to dividend
withholding tax as it is paid out of capital reserves. As the capital reduction distribution
will be regarded as a return of capital and may therefore have potential capital gains tax
consequences, shareholders are advised to consult their tax advisers regarding the impact of
the capital reduction distribution.
- The gross dividend of 6.60 cents per Share from income reserves will be subject to dividend
withholding tax at a rate of 20%. Consequently, a net final dividend of 5.28 cents per Share
will be distributed to those shareholders who are not exempt from paying dividend tax. In terms
of dividend tax legislation, the dividend tax amount due will be withheld and paid over to the
South African Revenue Service by a nominee company, stockbroker or Central Securities
Depository Participant ("CSDP") on behalf of the shareholders.
As at the date of declaration of the Distribution there were 222 774 248 Shares in issue.
The income tax reference number of Trematon Capital Investments Limited is 9340/323/84/0.
In compliance with the Companies Act, the directors confirm and have resolved that the company will
satisfy the solvency and liquidity test immediately after the payment of the Distribution.
In accordance with the provisions of Strate Proprietary Limited, the electronic settlement and
custody system used by the JSE Limited, the relevant dates for the Distribution are as follows:
Last date to trade: Tuesday, 17 December 2024
Ex-date: Wednesday, 18 December 2024
Record date: Friday, 20 December 2024
Payment date: Monday, 23 December 2024
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 18 December 2024
and Friday, 20 December 2024, both days inclusive. Only the shareholders recorded in the company's
share register as at record date are entitled to receive the Distribution declared.
Payments for certificated shareholders will be transferred electronically to their bank accounts on
the payment date. Shareholders who hold dematerialised shares will have their accounts at their
CSDP or stockbroker credited on Monday, 23 December 2024.
