3. DECLARATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE DISTRIBUTION FOR THE
SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 SEPTEMBER 2024
Notice is hereby given that a distribution of 5,935.79300 cents (in aggregate), after non-
permissible income, for every 100 (one hundred) units so held, has been approved and
declared by the board to unitholders recorded in the register of OCPF at close of business
on Friday, 6 December 2024, from income. Unitholders may elect to receive the distribution
in cash or to reinvest the distribution by the purchase of new units at a rate of 2.15299 units
at 2,757 cents per unit (in aggregate), for every 100 (one hundred) units so held.
Trading in the electronic Strate environment does not permit fractions and fractional
entitlements in respect of units. Accordingly, should a unitholder's entitlement to new units,
calculated in accordance with the ratio mentioned above, give rise to a fraction of a new unit,
such fraction will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in allocations of
whole units and a payment to the unitholder in respect of the remaining cash amount due to
that unitholder under the distribution.
The publication of this announcement and/or applicable documents and the right to reinvest
the distribution in jurisdictions other than South Africa may be restricted by law and failure to
comply with any of these restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any
such jurisdictions. OCPF units have not been and will not be registered for the purposes of
the election under the securities laws of the United Kingdom, European Economic Area or
EEA, Canada, United States of America, Japan or Australia and accordingly are not being
offered, sold, taken up, re-sold or delivered directly or indirectly to recipients with registered
addresses in such jurisdictions.
In respect of the distribution, unitholders who will receive the distribution are hereby informed
that, for taxation purposes, OCPF is a REIT as defined in the Income Tax Act as from 1 April
2013 and, accordingly, the tax implications of the distribution have changed as from that date.
The distribution will not be exempt from income tax in terms of section 10(1)(k) of the Income
Tax Act.
For South African tax residents, the distribution will be exempt from dividends tax in terms of
section 64F (1) of the Income Tax Act, provided that you, as unitholder, provide the transfer
secretary or your nominee, custodian or central securities depository participant ("CSDP")
with confirmation of your tax residence status in the prescribed form. If you do not provide
the required residence status, they will have no choice but to withhold dividends tax at a rate
of 20%.
For non-resident unitholders, for South African tax purposes, the distribution received by a
non-resident unitholder from a REIT will be subject to dividend withholding 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 tax residence of the unitholder. Non-resident
unitholders that believe that a reduced rate of tax applies in respect of their applicable DTA
should contact the transfer secretaries or their nominee, custodian or CSDP for the
prescribed form to record the reduced rate of tax.
Where dividends tax is withheld at 20%:
- the reinvestment ratio for non-resident unitholders will be 1.72239 units at 2,757 cents
per unit, for every 100 (one hundred) units held on the record date; and
- should such unitholders elect to receive the distribution in cash, they will receive
4,748.63440 cents per 100 (one hundred) units held on the record date.
Kindly contact the transfer secretaries, or your nominee, custodian or CSDP for a copy of
the prescribed declaration form.
The Income Tax Act sections applicable to the distributions made are as follows:
- Property income distribution from a REIT – section 10(1)(k) and section 64F(1)
Both resident and non-resident unitholders are encouraged to consult their professional tax
advisors with regard to their individual tax liability in this regard.
