NOTICE TO REDEFINE INTERNATIONAL SHAREHOLDERS IN RESPECT OF AN ELECTION TO RECEIVE EITHER A CASH DIVIDEND OR A SCRIP DIVIDEND

 

Shareholders were advised today, Wednesday, 29 April 2015, that the board of directors (the "board") of the Company has declared an interim dividend of 1.60 pence per share (the "dividend") in respect of the six months ended 28 February 2015 and that the board intends offering to shareholders the election to receive a scrip dividend by way of an issue of new Redefine International shares (of the same class as existing shares) credited as fully paid up ("scrip dividend") or a cash dividend ("cash dividend"). The dividend will be paid as follows:

· If taken in cash, the cash dividend will comprise wholly of a property income distribution ("PID"). The PID will be subject to a deduction of a 20 per cent UK withholding tax unless exemptions apply.

· Shareholders who make an election to receive shares will receive shares based on 0.48 pence (30%) being paid as a PID and 1.12 pence (70%) being paid as a non-PID. As a non-PID, this will be treated as an ordinary UK company dividend, with no withholding tax deducted.

 

A cash dividend will be paid to shareholders unless shareholders elect to receive the scrip dividend. Should a shareholder elect to receive the scrip dividend, such shareholder will become entitled to a number of new Redefine International shares, the value of which will be as near as possible to the cash dividend which they would have otherwise received. A shareholder's entitlement to new Redefine International shares will be calculated by multiplying the number of shares held by that shareholder at the record date by the gross dividend per share of 1.60 pence and dividing it by the scrip dividend reference price which will be calculated as follows:

 

· for Redefine International shares traded on the LSE, the average of the middle market quotations of a Redefine International share derived from the daily Official List for the last five dealing days prior to the announcement of the Pound Sterling to Rand conversion rate, less the amount of the dividend per Redefine International share; and

 

· for Redefine International shares traded on the JSE, the average of the middle market quotations of a Redefine International share as provided by the JSE for the last five dealing days on the JSE prior to the announcement of the Pound Sterling to Rand conversion rate, less the amount of the dividend per Redefine International share as converted into Rand at the exchange rate.

 

Where UK withholding tax has to be accounted for, the calculation will be by reference to the gross amount of the dividend per share less the current applicable withholding tax rate of 20 per cent.

 

The rationale for the scrip dividend is to afford shareholders the opportunity to increase their shareholding in Redefine International and to retain flexibility with regard to the Company's cash resources.

 

The cash dividend will be paid out of the Company's distributable profits.

 

As at the date of this announcement, the Company had 1,451,322,973 ordinary shares of 8 pence each in issue.

 

A circular to Redefine International shareholders in respect of the election being offered to Redefine International shareholders to receive either the cash dividend or the scrip dividend, together with an election form, has been posted to shareholders on Wednesday, 29 April 2015 (the "circular") and is available on the Company's website at www.redefineinternational.com. Terms defined in the circular shall bear the same meaning in this announcement.
