CASH DIVIDEND DECLARATION
On 7 April 2025 the board of directors ("directors") declared a gross interim cash dividend
distribution of 110 cents per Trematon ordinary share ("share") from income reserves
(2024: nil cents) ("the Dividend") to shareholders recorded in the share register of the company at
the close of business on Friday, 2 May 2025. The total Dividend will equate to R245.1 million.
The implications of the Dividend on shareholders are as follows:
The gross Dividend of 110 cents per share from income reserves will be subject to dividend
withholding tax at a rate of 20%. Consequently, a net final Dividend of 88 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 Dividend 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 Dividend.
In accordance with the provisions of Strate (Pty) Limited, the electronic settlement and
custody system used by the JSE Limited, the relevant dates for the Dividend are as follows:
Last date to trade: Tuesday, 6 May 2025
Ex-date: Wednesday, 7 May 2025
Record date: Friday, 9 May 2025
Payment date: Monday, 12 May 2025
Share certificates may not be dematerialised or rematerialised between Tuesday, 7 May 2025 and
Friday, 9 May 2025, both days inclusive. Only the shareholders recorded in the company's share
register as at record date are entitled to receive the Dividend 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, 12 May 2025.
