The dividend has been declared out of income reserves and will be subject to dividend withholding tax at a rate of 20%. Consequently a net final dividend of 233,6 cents per share will be distributed to those shareholders who are not exempt from paying dividend tax. In terms of dividend tax legislation, the dividend tax amount due will be withheld and paid over to the South African Revenue Services by a nominee company, stockbroker or Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") (collectively "regulated intermediary") on behalf of shareholders. However, all shareholders should declare their status to their regulated intermediary, as they may qualify for a reduced dividend tax rate or exemption. AVI's issued share capital at the declaration date is 336 001 990 ordinary shares. AVI's tax reference number is 9500/046/71/0. The salient dates relating to the payment of the dividend are as follows: Last day to trade cum dividend on the JSE Tuesday, 18 October 2022 First trading day ex dividend on the JSE Wednesday, 19 October 2022 Record date Friday, 21 October 2022 Payment date Monday, 24 October 2022 In accordance with the requirements of Strate Limited, no share certificates may be dematerialised or rematerialised between Wednesday, 19 October 2022, and Friday, 21 October 2022, both days inclusive.
