CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATE (SOUTH AFRICAN RAND) FOR FINAL DIVIDEND

 

Grit Real Estate Income Group Limited, a leading pan-African real estate company focused on investing in and actively

managing a diversified portfolio of assets underpinned by predominantly US$ and Euro denominated long-term leases

with high quality multi-national tenants, refers Grit shareholders to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange of Mauritius Ltd ("SEM"), the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") and the Johannesburg Stock Exchange Limited ("JSE") on Monday, 30 September 2019, relating to the payment of a cash dividend for the six months ended 30 June 2019 ("Final Dividend").

 

Shareholders on the South African share register will receive the Final Dividend in South African Rand ("ZAR"), converted from United States Dollars ("USD") at an exchange rate of USD1.00: ZAR15.34910. Accordingly, the Final Dividend of US$ 6.95000 cents per share will be equal to ZAR 106.67625 cents per share.

 

In accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements regarding Dividends Tax, the following information is only of direct application to shareholders on the South African share register, as the dividend is regarded as a foreign dividend for shareholders on the South African register:

·      the gross local Final Dividend amount is ZAR106.67625 cents per share for shareholders exempt from paying South African Dividends Tax; and

·      the net local Final Dividend amount is ZAR85.34100 cents per share for shareholders liable to pay South African Dividends Tax.

 

A dividend withholding tax will be applicable to shareholders who are not exempt.

 

For the avoidance of doubt, the Dividend Tax, and therefore the information provided in this announcement, is only of direct application to shareholders on the South African register.
