ANNOUNCEMENT OF DIVIDEND REINVESTMENT PRICE AND CONFIRMATION OF FINALISATION INFORMATION
Further to the announcement published on SENS on Wednesday, 5 June 2024 (the "declaration
announcement") declaring a cash dividend of 72.17501 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, 18 June 2024 (the
"finalisation date"), applicable to Vukile shareholders electing the dividend reinvestment alternative and
recorded in the register on Friday, 28 June 2024 (the "record date"), is 1 450.00000 cents per share
(R14.50 per share) (the "reinvestment price"). The reinvestment price represents a 0.02% discount to the 30-
day volume weighted average traded price on Friday, 14 June 2024 (less the cash dividend), as well as a 3.40%
discount to the spot price on Friday, 14 June 2024 (including the cash dividend).
The ratio in respect of the dividend reinvestment alternative is 4.97759 shares for every 100 shares held on
the record date by South African resident shareholders exempt from dividend tax and 3.98207 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 Wednesday,
5 June 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 72.17501 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 57.74001 cents per share.
Due to the fact that 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 with regard to 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

Trading of Vukile shares
Shareholders are advised that, as per the timetable published in the declaration announcement, the last day to
trade is Tuesday, 25 June 2024 and Vukile shares will trade ex-dividend from Wednesday, 26 June 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, being Wednesday, 3 July 2024, due to the fact that settlement of the new shares will be three
days after the record date, being Friday, 28 June 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, 28 June 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.
