ORDINARY SHARE CASH DIVIDEND
Shareholders are referred to the Audited Summary Consolidated Financial Statements of the
Tradehold Group for the year to 29 February 2020 which was released on SENS today, 21 May 2020.
The board initially anticipated declaring a gross cash dividend of 60 cents per ordinary share (2019: 55
cents) for the 12 months to February 2020. In the light of the great uncertainty brought about by the
pandemic since year-end and the consequent need to preserve cash, the board has decided to declare
a gross cash dividend of 30 cents per ordinary share on 21 May 2020. Depending on the results
achieved in the six months to 31 August, the board may then declare an interim dividend, which will
also mark the first time Tradehold has declared an interim dividend.
The dividend will reduce Tradehold’s stated capital.
Notice is hereby given that the Directors have declared a gross cash dividend of 30 cents per Ordinary
Share (2019: 55 cents) on 21 May 2020. The dividend will reduce Tradehold’s stated capital.
The distribution constitutes a foreign dividend as defined in section 1 of the Income Tax Act (“ITA”)
and is a dividend for purposes of dividends tax (“DT”), since the shares are listed on the JSE Limited.
An exemption from DT is provided for in the ITA in respect of foreign dividends paid to a South African
company and to a non-resident to the extent that it is paid in respect of listed shares, provided certain
administrative procedures are complied with.
The ITA further provides for an exemption from income tax in respect of foreign dividends received or
accrued in respect of listed shares.
In terms of the ITA, DT of 20% has been withheld for those shareholders who are not exempt from DT.
Shareholders who are not exempt from DT will therefore receive a net dividend of 24 cents per
Ordinary Share.
Tradehold has 261 346 570 Ordinary Shares in issue.
Tradehold Limited’s income tax reference number is 9725/126/71/9.
