CIRCULAR TO GREENBAY SHAREHOLDERS
1. INTRODUCTION
On Tuesday, 21 November 2017, it was announced, pursuant to a decision on Monday, 13 November 2017, that the board approved a final distribution of 0.236 EUR cents per share in respect of the year ended 30 September 2017 and that the board intends offering to shareholders the election to receive a scrip dividend by way of an issue of new Greenbay shares (of the same class as existing shares) credited as fully paid up or a cash dividend. Accordingly, a cash dividend will be paid to shareholders unless shareholders elect to receive a scrip dividend by way of an issue of new Greenbay shares credited as fully paid up. Shareholders of Greenbay on the record date who elect to receive the scrip dividend instead of the cash dividend, must ensure that their election forms are received by the SA transfer secretaries/company secretary in accordance with the salient dates and times mentioned in this circular.
2. CASH DIVIDEND
2.1 Shareholders on the SA share register
2.1.1 South African resident shareholders and non-resident shareholders who hold shares on the SA register and who do not elect to receive a scrip dividend will receive the cash dividend in Rand.
2.1.2 Shareholders not electing to receive the scrip dividend will, without any action on their part, be deemed to have elected to receive the cash dividend.
2.1.3 The cash dividend will be paid out of the company's distributable profits.
2.2 Shareholders on the Mauritian share register
2.2.1 South African resident and non-resident shareholders who hold shares on the Mauritian register and who do not elect to receive the scrip dividend will receive the cash dividend in EUR.
2.2.2 The cash dividend will be paid out of the company's distributable profits.
2.3 Other information
2.3.1 Value of dividends
If no shareholders were to elect to receive the scrip dividend, the value of the dividends will amount to EUR 22 000 337.
3. SCRIP DIVIDEND
3.1 Terms of the scrip dividend
3.1.1 The scrip dividend will take place in accordance with paragraph 16 and paragraph 18 of the company's constitution and Section 64 of the Mauritian Companies Act 2001.
3.1.2 Should a shareholder validly elect to receive the scrip dividend in lieu of dividends, such shareholder will (subject to 3.1.4 below) become entitled to a number of new Greenbay shares. A shareholder's entitlement
to new Greenbay shares will be calculated by multiplying the number of shares held by that shareholder at the record date by the cash dividend per share of 0.236 EUR cents and dividing it by the scrip dividend reference price. For shareholders on the South African register, the cash dividend per share will be converted at the conversion rate.
3.1.3 The election may be made by shareholders in respect of all or part of their shareholdings held at the close of business on the record date only. Nominee shareholders are permitted to make elections on part of their shareholding.
3.1.4 If Greenbay becomes aware that the issuance of new Greenbay shares to any shareholder or group of shareholders ("affected shareholders") who elected a scrip dividend would trigger a regulatory consequence under any applicable laws, such as an obligation to offer to acquire Greenbay shares from other shareholders or the like, Greenbay may so inform the affected shareholders and, with and to the extent of their written consent, amend their election in respect of settlement of any dividend in scrip or cash.
3.1.5 No shareholders' approval is required for the issue of new Greenbay shares as scrip dividend in terms of the company's constitution, the SEM Listing Rules and the JSE Listings Requirements.
3.2 Fractions
The allocation of new Greenbay shares will be such that shareholders who elect to receive the scrip dividend will not be allocated a fraction of a new Greenbay share and as such any entitlement to receive a fraction of a new Greenbay share which:
3.2.1 is less than one-half of a new Greenbay share, will be rounded down to the nearest whole number; and
3.2.2 is equal to or greater than one-half of a new Greenbay share but less than a whole new Greenbay share, will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
3.2.3 No fractions of new Greenbay shares will be issued, nor will any residual entitlements be carried forward to any future scrip dividend issues.
4. RATIONALE FOR THE SCRIP DIVIDEND
The rationale for the scrip dividend is to afford shareholders the opportunity to increase their shareholding in Greenbay and to retain flexibility with regard to the company's cash resources.
5. SHARE CAPITAL
The share capital of the company as at the last practical date is as follows:
| EUR | |
|---|---|
| Issued share capital | |
| 9 322 176 525 ordinary shares at an average of approximately EUR0.068 per share | 892 382 767 |
| Total | 892 382 767 |
6. TAX IMPLICATIONS
6.1 SA resident shareholders
The receipt of the cash dividend or electing to receive the scrip dividend may have tax implications for shareholders.
For those South African resident shareholders receiving the cash dividend, such amount will be regarded as a foreign dividend and may be subject to South African dividends withholding tax at a rate of 20%, unless an exemption as set out in the South African tax legislation applies.
The receipt of new Greenbay shares by South African resident shareholders should not be classified as a dividend or a foreign dividend for South African tax purposes and accordingly, South African dividends withholding tax should not be levied on the new Greenbay shares. However, the legislation in this regard is complex and its implementation is uncertain. Accordingly, shareholders should seek independent professional tax advice.
Greenbay shareholders are advised to consult their professional advisors regarding the tax consequences of the cash dividend and the scrip dividend or should they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.
In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements regarding dividends withholding tax in South Africa, the following additional information is disclosed:
- there is no withholding tax payable in Mauritius.
9
6.2 Shareholders residing outside South Africa
The receipt of the cash dividend or electing to receive the scrip dividend may have tax implications for shareholders who are resident in Mauritius or other countries and such shareholders are advised to obtain appropriate advice from their professional advisors in this regard.
- LISTING OF NEW GREENBAY SHARES
Application will be made to the JSE and the SEM to list the new Greenbay shares issued in terms of the scrip dividend, with effect from the commencement of trade on Wednesday, 20 December 2017.
- SOUTH AFRICAN LAW AND MAURITIAN LAW
All transactions arising from the provisions of this circular and the election form shall be governed by and be subject to the laws of South Africa and Mauritius and in the event of any conflict, such conflict will be resolved in accordance with recognised and established principles of conflict of laws.
- EXCHANGE CONTROL REGULATIONS (FOR SHAREHOLDERS ON THE SA SHARE REGISTER)
The following is intended only as a guide and is therefore not a comprehensive statement of the Exchange Control Regulations applicable to shareholders on the SA share register.
Greenbay shareholders who are in any doubt as to the appropriate course of action to take should consult their professional advisors.
Any new Greenbay shares issued in terms of the scrip dividend are not freely transferable from South Africa and must be dealt within the terms of the Exchange Control Regulations.
Shareholders who hold shares on the SA share register can only receive shares on that register.
South African resident and non-resident shareholders who hold Greenbay shares on the SEM and who elect to receive the cash dividend have the option to receive the cash dividend in EUR. South African resident shareholders who hold shares on the SA share register will receive the cash dividend in Rand. Non-resident shareholders who hold shares on the SA share register have the option to receive the cash dividend in Rand for the credit of their non-resident Rand account or, the option to receive the said dividend in foreign currency, on the basis that the foreign currency is transferred to South Africa and converted to Rand at the prevailing spot rate on date of settlement, where after the Rand amount will then be transferred to the non-resident's, non-resident Rand account. Thereafter, the non-resident may utilise the vRand in South Africa or transfer the funds to a nominated bank account abroad in the foreign currency of their choice.
9.1 Shareholders who elect to receive:
9.1.1 The cash dividend
Non-residents and emigrants
As the cash dividend will be paid out of the company's distributable profits, such dividends are freely transferable from South Africa.
The election of the cash dividend by emigrants must be made through an authorised dealer in foreign exchange controlling the shareholder's emigrant blocked assets.
9.1.2 New Greenbay shares
9.1.2.1 In the case of certificated shareholders:
9.1.2.1.1 Non-residents
Share certificates will be issued with a "non-resident" endorsement and will be sent to the registered address of the shareholder concerned or in accordance with the instructions given to the SA transfer secretaries.
9.1.2.1.2 Emigrants
Any new share certificates based on emigrants' shares controlled in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations will be forwarded to the authorised dealer in foreign exchange controlling their blocked assets. The election by emigrants for the above purpose must be made through the authorised dealer in foreign exchange controlling their blocked assets. Such share certificates will be endorsed "non-resident".
9.1.2.2 In the case of dematerialised shareholders:
All aspects relating to the Exchange Control Regulations will be managed by their CSDP or broker, as follows:
9.1.2.2.1 Non-residents
Ordinary shares issued will be credited to their CSDP or broker accounts and a “non-resident” annotation will appear in the CSDP or broker register.
Dividend payments will be credited directly to the bank accounts nominated for them by their CSDP or broker.
9.1.2.2.2 Emigrants
New Greenbay shares issued, based on ordinary shares controlled in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, will be credited to the emigrant blocked share accounts at the CSDP or broker controlling their blocked assets and a “non-resident” annotation will appear in the CSDP or broker register.
