Cash dividend and offer of Dividend Reinvestment Plan
The board of directors of Sirius has earlier today declared a dividend for the six-month period ended
31 March 2025 of €0.0309 per share.
The dividend is payable on Thursday, 24 July 2025 to Sirius shareholders ("Shareholders") on the share register on Friday, 27 June 2025.
The Company will not be offering a scrip dividend alternative but, for those Shareholders who wish to receive their dividend in the form of shares, the Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") will again be available. This means that the net dividend after tax is effectively reinvested by acquiring additional shares in the Company. The DRIP terms and conditions can be found at www.signalshares.com
(for Shareholders on the UK share register) and www.sirius-real-estate.com/investors/dividends/
(for Shareholders on the SA share register).

- Exchange Control Regulations
- The cash dividend
- Reinvested shares via the DRIP
- Non-residents
- Emigrants
Based on shares controlled in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations, reinvested shares will be controlled and form part of the emigrant's remaining assets and be reflected in the capital account held with the Authorised Dealer controlling these assets. In particular, it will be the CSDP of the Authorised Dealer or the CSDP contracted by the Authorised Dealer that will be responsible to implement the election and a "Non-Resident" annotation will appear in the CSDP. These shares will thus form part of the remaining assets of the emigrant. However, it should be noted that it was indicated by the South African Reserve Bank in Exchange Control Circular 3/2023 (in relation to income and capital distributions from inter vivos trusts), that remaining funds in South Africa may be transferred from South Africa up to R10 million, subject to the emigrant obtaining the relevant tax TCS clearance from the South African Revenue Service.
In terms of the Exchange Control Regulations of South Africa:
- dividends and residual cash payments from reserves are freely transferable from South Africa.
