Information for shareholders:
The information below is included only as a general guide to taxation for shareholders based on Shaftesbury Capital's
understanding of the law and the practice currently in force. Any shareholder who is in any doubt as to their tax
position should seek independent professional advice.
UK shareholders - PIDs
Certain categories of shareholders may be eligible for exemption from the 20 per cent UK withholding tax and may
register to receive their dividends on a gross basis. Further information, including the required forms, is available from
the 'Investor Information' section of the Company's website (www.shaftesburycapital.com), or on request from our
UK registrars, Link Group. Validly completed forms must be received by Link Group no later than the dividend Record
Date, as advised; otherwise the dividend will be paid after deduction of tax.
South African shareholders
The 2024 interim cash dividend declared by the Company is a foreign payment and the funds are sourced from the UK.
PIDs: A 20 per cent UK withholding tax is applicable to a PID. South African shareholders may apply to HMRC after
payment of the PID element of the 2024 interim cash dividend for a refund of the difference between the 20 per cent
UK withholding tax and the UK/South African double taxation treaty rate of 15 per cent.
The PID element of the 2024 interim cash dividend will be exempt from income tax but will constitute a dividend for
Dividends Tax purposes, as it will be declared in respect of a share listed on the exchange operated by the JSE. SA Dividends
Tax will therefore be withheld from the PID element of the 2024 interim cash dividend at a rate of 20 per cent, unless a
shareholder qualifies for an exemption and the prescribed requirements for effecting the exemption are in place by the
requisite date. Certain shareholders may also qualify for a reduction of SA Dividends Tax liability to 5 per cent, (being
the difference between the SA dividends tax rate and the effective UK withholding tax rate of 15 per cent) if the
prescribed requirements for effecting the reduction are in place by the requisite date.
Non-PID: The non-PID element of the 2024 interim cash dividend will be exempt from income tax but will constitute a
dividend for SA Dividends Tax purposes, as it will be declared in respect of a share listed on the exchange operated by
the JSE. SA Dividends Tax will therefore be withheld from the non-PID element of the 2024 interim cash dividend at a
rate of 20 per cent, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption and the prescribed requirements for effecting the
exemption are in place by the requisite date.
Other overseas shareholders
Other non-UK shareholders may be able to make claims for a refund of UK withholding tax deducted pursuant to the
application of a relevant double taxation convention. UK withholding tax refunds can only be claimed from HMRC, the
UK tax authority.
