Part 3E - Other - distribution components / tax
3E.1 Please indicate where and when information about tax components can be obtained (you may enter a url).
The entire 19.5 cents of the final and special dividend are sourced from capital gains, on which the Company has paid or
will pay tax. The amount of the pre-tax attributable gain, known as an LIC capital gain, is therefore 27.86 cents. This will
enable some shareholders to claim a tax deduction. There is no New Zealand imputation credit.
