Withholding Tax on Interest (WTI) came into effect on 1 March 2015.

Interest accruing from a South African source to a non-resident, excluding a controlled foreign company,
will be subject to withholding tax at a rate of 15% on payment, except interest,

 • arising on any Government debt instrument
 • arising on any listed debt instrument
 • arising on any debt owed by a bank or the South African Reserve Bank
 • arising from a bill of exchange or letter of credit where goods are imported into South Africa and
 where an authorized dealer has certified such on the instrument
 • payable by a headquarter company
 • accruing to a non-resident natural person who was physically present in South Africa for a period
 exceeding 183 days in aggregate, during that year, or carried on a business through a permanent
 establishment in South Africa

Investors are advised that to the extent that the distribution amount comprise of any interest, it will
not be subject to WTI by virtue of the fact that it is listed debt instruments and/or bank debt.

 No dividend withholding tax will be deducted from dividends payable to a South African tax resident
 qualifying for exemption from dividend withholding tax provided that the investor has provided the
 following forms to their Central Securities Depository Participant ("CSDP") or broker, as the case may
 be in respect of its participatory interest:
 a) a declaration that the distribution is exempt from dividends tax; and
 b) a written undertaking to inform their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
 affecting the exemption change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
 both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. South African tax resident investors
 are advised to contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned
 documents to be submitted prior to payment of the distribution, if such documents have not already been
 submitted.

 Non-resident investors for South African income tax purposes
 The dividend distribution received by non-resident investors will be exempt from income tax in terms of
 section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Act, but will be subject to dividend withholding tax. Dividend withholding
 tax is levied at a rate of 20%, unless the rate is reduced in terms of any applicable agreement for the
 avoidance of double taxation ("DTA") between South Africa and the country of residence of the non-
 resident investor.
 A reduced dividend withholding rate in terms of the applicable DTA may only be relied on if the non-
 resident investor has provided the following forms to their CSDP or broker, as the case may be in
 respect of its participatory interest:
 a) a declaration that the dividend is subject to a reduced rate as a result of the application of a DTA;
 and
 b) a written undertaking to inform the CSDP or broker, as the case may be, should the circumstances
 affecting the reduced rate change or the beneficial owner cease to be the beneficial owner,
 both in the form prescribed by the South African Revenue Service. Non-resident investors are advised to
 contact their CSDP or broker, as the case may be, to arrange for the abovementioned documents to be
 submitted prior to the payment of the distribution if such documents have not already been submitted.
    Both resident and non-resident investors are encouraged to consult their professional advisors should
    they be in any doubt as to the appropriate action to take.

In accordance with the investment policy of Satrix RAFI 40 the distribution (excluding the dividends tax
as detailed above) will be re-invested on behalf of investors through the purchase of securities
comprising the FTSE/JSE RAFI 40 Index in accordance with the calculation methodology of the total return
version of this Index, thereby increasing the net asset value of Satrix RAFI 40 and, proportionately,
each Satrix RAFI 40 security.

The distribution (excluding the dividend tax as detailed above) will:

-       where Satrix RAFI 40 securities are held on capital account be added
        to the base cost of each Satrix RAFI 40 security for capital gains
        tax purposes; or
-       where Satrix RAFI 40 securities are held as trading stock be
        regarded as part of the cost of acquiring a Satrix RAFI 40 security.
