The salient dates and other dividend declaration information announced on 11 February 2022 remain unchanged for the August 2022 Dividend.

South Africa Branch Register: Dividend Rate

The British American Tobacco Group reports in sterling, therefore dividends are declared and payable in sterling except for shareholders on the branch register in South Africa whose dividends are payable in rand. A rate of exchange of £:R = 19.3718 as at 24 June 2022 (the closing rate on that date as quoted by Bloomberg), results in an equivalent August 2022 Dividend of 1054.79451 SA cents per ordinary share.

South Africa Branch Register: Dividends Tax Information

South Africa Dividends Tax (at a rate of 20%), equivalent to 210.95890 SA cents per ordinary share, will be withheld from the gross August 2022 Dividend paid to shareholders on the South Africa branch register, unless a shareholder qualifies for an exemption. After Dividends Tax has been withheld, the net dividend will be 843.83561 SA cents per ordinary share. The August 2022 Dividend is regarded as a ‘foreign dividend’ for the purposes of the South Africa Dividends Tax. For the purposes of South Africa Dividends Tax reporting, the source of income for the payment of the August 2022 Dividend is the United Kingdom.
