A notice was published on 12 March 2020 in respect to a declaration by the Board of Directors on the payment of an interim dividend of 4.60 ZWL cents per share in respect of shareholders appearing in the register of shareholders on the record date. This notice was published concurrently with the publication of H1FY2020 results for the Group.
The payment date of that interim dividend was fixed as 24 April 2020. The Board of Directors wish to advise shareholders that it has taken the decision to defer the payment date of the interim dividend to 28 May 2020, with the approval of the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange. This is in light of the Covid-19 lockdown in force in Zimbabwe as well as the uncertainties surrounding local, regional and global economies.
Shareholders will note however that the new payment date is still within the timeline for payment of dividend set out in the listing rules of the Zimbabwe Stock Exchange.
The record date, cum-dividend date and ex-dividend date will remain the same as announced in the previous notice.
By order of the Board
