("Vukile" or the "Company")
ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PRICE AND CONFIRMATION OF FINALISATION INFORMATION
Further to the announcement published on SENS on Tuesday, 26 November 2024 (the "declaration announcement")
declaring an interim cash dividend of 55.18051 cents per share (the "cash dividend") with an election to reinvest the
cash dividend in return for new Vukile shares (the "new shares") (the "dividend reinvestment alternative"),
shareholders are advised that the price per share, as determined on Tuesday, 3 December 2024 (the "finalisation date"),
applicable to Vukile shareholders electing the dividend reinvestment alternative and recorded in the register on Friday,
13 December 2024 (the "record date"), is 1 800 cents per share (R18.00 per share) (the "reinvestment price"). The
reinvestment price represents a 0.04% discount to the 30-day volume weighted average traded price on Monday,
2 December 2024 (including the cash dividend), as well as a 2.23% discount to the spot price on Monday,
2 December 2024 (including the cash dividend).
The ratio in respect of the dividend reinvestment alternative is 3.06558 shares for every 100 shares held on the record
date by South African resident shareholders exempt from dividend tax and 2.45247 shares for every 100 shares held on
the record date by non-resident shareholders subject to dividend tax at 20%.
Where a shareholder's entitlement to the shares in relation to the dividend reinvestment alternative, calculated with
reference to the above share ratio, gives rise to an entitlement to a fraction of a new share, the number of shares to be
issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, with the cash balance of the dividend being retained by the
shareholder.
Dividend withholding tax ("dividend tax") implications
Dividend tax implications for South African resident shareholders
Dividends received from a Real Estate Investment Trust ("REIT") are exempt from dividend tax in the hands of South
African resident shareholders, provided that the shareholders have provided the requisite declaration as to residence as
detailed in paragraph 5 of the circular to Vukile shareholders distributed on Tuesday, 26 November 2024 (the
"circular"). South African resident shareholders who have submitted the requisite documentation and are exempt from
dividend tax, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 55.18051 cents per share.
Dividend tax implications for non-resident shareholders
Dividends received from a REIT by a non-resident shareholder will be subject to dividend tax at 20%, unless the rate is
reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the avoidance of double taxation ("DTA") between South Africa and
the country of residence of the non-resident shareholder. A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable
DTA may only be relied upon if the non-resident shareholder has provided the requisite documentation as detailed in
paragraph 5 of the circular. Non-resident shareholders who have submitted the requisite documentation and assuming
that a dividend tax rate of 20% is applicable, will accordingly receive a net dividend of 44.14441 cents per share.
Since the cash dividend or dividend reinvestment alternative may have tax implications for resident and non-resident
shareholders, shareholders are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should they be in any doubt as to the
appropriate action to take.
Illustrative example regarding the application of rounding and the impact of dividend tax
The application of the rounding principle of rounding down to the nearest whole number and the impact of dividend tax
on shareholders, based on a shareholding of 100 Vukile shares, has been illustrated by way of the example below:
South African Non-resident
resident shareholders
shareholders subject to
exempt from dividend tax at
dividend tax 20%
Dividend per share (cents) 55.18051 55.18051

Trading of Vukile shares
Shareholders are advised that, as per the timetable published in the declaration announcement, the last day to trade is
Tuesday, 10 December 2024 and Vukile shares will trade ex-dividend from Wednesday, 11 December 2024.
As published in the declaration announcement, shareholders electing the dividend reinvestment alternative are alerted
to the fact that the new shares will be listed on LDT + 3 and that these new shares can only be traded on LDT + 3, due
to the fact that settlement of the new shares will be three days after the record date, being Friday, 13 December 2024,
which differs from the conventional one day after record date settlement process.
Shareholders are reminded that the last day to elect to receive the dividend reinvestment alternative is 12:00 (SA time)
on Friday, 13 December 2024. No action is required if you wish to receive the cash dividend.
The salient dates, timetable and all other information relating to the cash dividend (including the tax implications) and
the dividend reinvestment alternative disclosed in the declaration announcement remain unchanged.
