Dividend declaration
Shareholders are advised that the board has resolved to declare a final gross cash dividend of 165 cents per ordinary share amounting to R1.5 billion as at the date of declaration, for the financial year ended 30 June 2025. The dividend will be paid from retained earnings.
In line with Implats' approved dividend policy, which targets a minimum return of 30% of adjusted free cash flow before expansion and growth capital, the board has carefully considered the Group's financial performance, strong balance sheet, future capital requirements and improving market conditions. As a result, the final dividend represents an increased payout of approximately 60% of adjusted free cash flow, reaffirming the Group's commitment to prioritising shareholder returns.
Implats has 904 368 485 ordinary shares in issue and the Company's tax reference number is 9700178719. The cash dividend will be subject to a 20% dividend withholding tax for shareholders who are not exempt from, or do not qualify for, a reduced rate of withholding tax. Therefore, the net dividend amount is 132 cents per ordinary share for shareholders liable to pay the dividend withholding tax and 165 cents per ordinary share for shareholders exempt from dividend withholding tax. Shareholders are advised to complete the requisite declaration form to make the Company aware of their tax status.
