CAPITAL & COUNTIES PROPERTIES PLC (the "Company" or
"Capco")
2019 FINAL DIVIDEND - EXCHANGE RATE AND SCRIP CALCULATION
PRICES
Capital & Counties Properties PLC confirms that exchange
control approval for the offering of a scrip dividend alternative
has been obtained from the South African Reserve Bank and
shareholders are accordingly entitled to elect to receive new
ordinary shares in the Company, credited as fully paid in lieu of
cash, in respect of the 2019 final dividend of 1.0 pence per
ordinary share.
Exchange Rate for Final Dividend:
The Company confirms that the ZAR exchange rate for the 2019
final dividend of 1.0 pence per ordinary share to be paid on
Thursday 14 May 2020 to all shareholders registered on Friday 17
April 2020 will be 22.84680 ZAR to 1 GBP, which is the rate
determined on 2 April 2020.
On this basis, shareholders who hold their shares via the South
African register will receive a cash dividend of 22.84680 ZAR cents
per ordinary share.
Scrip Calculation Price:
The Scrip Calculation prices, which are based on the UK and SA
prices of Capco shares for the period 27 March 2020 to 2 April 2020
less the amount of the dividend, are as follows:
UK (principal register): 154.40 pence (GBP)
South Africa: 3,425.08220 cents (ZAR)
The same share prices will be used for calculating residual
payments under the Scrip Dividend Scheme.
Scrip Ratio:
The number of shares in issue is 848,239,163 ordinary shares of
25p each.
UK (principal register): 1 new ordinary share for every 154.40 ordinary shares held
South Africa: 1 new ordinary share for every 149.91518 ordinary
shares held (3,425.08220/ 22.84680 = 149.91518)
As no fraction of a share can be issued, the number of shares to
be issued will be rounded down to the nearest whole number and any
residual cash balance will be paid immediately to the relevant
shareholder (unless a UK shareholder has made an "evergreen
election") .
By way of illustration of the above, a shareholder who holds
1,000 shares on the South African exchange and who elects to
receive the scrip dividend alternative would be entitled to 1,000/
149.91518 = 6.67044 shares which would be rounded down to 6 shares,
and the residual payment would be 0.67044 x 3,425.08220 ZAR cents =
2,296.31211 ZAR cents, payable in cash .
Further details of the scrip dividend alternative are contained
in the Scrip Dividend Scheme Booklet, Supplemental Notices and the
related mandate forms, which are available on Capco's website at
www.capitalandcounties.com and from Capco's share Registrars.
Important Information for South African Shareholders:
The 2019 final cash dividend declared to South African
shareholders will comprise a foreign dividend (declared in respect
of a share listed on the exchange operated by the JSE) and will be
subject to dividends tax. Dividends tax will therefore be withheld
at a rate of 20 per cent. unless a shareholder qualifies for an
exemption and the prescribed requirements for effecting the
exemption, as set out in the rules of the Scrip Dividend Scheme,
are in place by the requisite date. After Dividends Tax has been
withheld, the net final dividend will be 18.27744 cents per
ordinary share. The funds are sourced from the UK.
It is the Company's understanding that the issue and receipt of
shares pursuant to the scrip dividend alternative will not have any
dividends tax nor income tax implications. The new shares which are
acquired under the scrip dividend alternative should not comprise
of a "foreign dividend" nor a "foreign return of capital" and will
be treated as having been acquired for nil consideration.
Any residual cash payments to account for fractional share
payments will be subject to dividends tax, which will be withheld
from the residual payment to South African shareholders at a rate
of 20 per cent, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption and
the prescribed requirements for effecting the exemption (as set out
in the Scrip Dividend Scheme Booklet) are in place by the requisite
date.
This information is included only as a general guide to taxation
for shareholders resident in South Africa and is based on Capco's
understanding of the law and the practice currently in force. Any
shareholder who is in any doubt regarding their tax position should
seek independent professional advice.
The salient dates in the revised dividend timetable published in
the announcement dated 26 February 2020 remain unchanged and no
element of the 2019 final dividend will be treated as a Property
Income Distribution for tax purposes.
