These negative factors have put a huge strain on the economy in general but are specifically impactful in the broadcasting business because of households' dependence on utilities. A further impact on the results was the unexpected increase in legal fees, as the attitude of the Group is to challenge that which is fair to challenge. The eMedia Group continues to be the biggest broadcaster in South Africa and this market share stands the Group in good stead should the economy turn positive. The directors of eMedia Holdings have resolved to declare an interim cash dividend for the period ended 30 September 2023 of 18.00000 cents per share (2022: 21.00000 cents). The dividend to shareholders relates to the ordinary shares (share code: EMH) and N ordinary shares (share code: EMN). The issued share capital at declaration date is 445 737 603. The dividend will be subject to a local dividend withholding tax at a rate of 20%, which will result in a net final dividend to those shareholders not exempt from paying dividend withholding tax of 14.40000 cents per ordinary share and 18.00000 cents per ordinary share for those shareholders who are exempt from dividend withholding tax. In terms of dividend withholding tax legislation, any dividend withholding tax amount due will be withheld and paid over to the South African Revenue Service by a nominee company, stockbroker or central securities depository participant (collectively "regulated intermediary") on behalf of shareholders. All shareholders should declare their status to their regulated intermediary as they may qualify for a reduced dividend withholding tax rate or exemption. The salient dates for the payment of the dividend are as follows: Last day to trade cum dividend: Monday, 11 December 2023 Commence trading ex dividend: Tuesday, 12 December 2023 Record date: Thursday, 14 December 2023 Payment date: Monday, 18 December 2023 Share certificates may not be dematerialised nor rematerialised between Tuesday, 12 December 2023 and Thursday, 14 December 2023, both dates inclusive.
