The salient dates and other dividend declaration information
announced on 9 February 2023 remain unchanged for the May 2023
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 GBP:R=22.01360 as at 9
March 2023 (the closing rate on that date as quoted by Bloomberg),
results in an equivalent May 2023 Dividend of 1270.62499 SA cents
per ordinary share.
South Africa Branch Register: Dividends Tax Information
South Africa Dividends Tax (at a rate of 20%), equivalent to
254.12500 SA cents per ordinary share, will be withheld from the
gross May 2023 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
1016.49999 SA cents per ordinary share. The May 2023 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 May 2023
Dividend is the United Kingdom.
At the close of business on 9 March 2023 (the latest practicable
date prior to the date of the declaration of the South African rand
equivalent of the May 2023 Dividend), the Company had a total of
2,235,907,607 ordinary shares in issue (excluding treasury shares).
The Company held 220,963,856 ordinary shares in treasury giving a
