RAINBOW CHICKEN LIMITED - Finalisation announcement regarding the declaration of a special dividend
What this filing means
Rainbow Chicken has confirmed that South African Reserve Bank approval for the previously announced special gross cash dividend of 75.0 cents per share has been obtained, making the dividend unconditional. The payment date and all other terms remain as announced on 28 August 2026 — this finalisation is a conditions-precedent clearance, not a new disclosure.
Rainbow Chicken already told you it was paying a special dividend of 75 cents per share back in August. The only thing holding it up was a regulatory clearance from the South African Reserve Bank. That clearance has now come through, so the dividend is definitely happening. Nothing about the amount, timing or tax treatment has changed — this is just the last administrative box being ticked.
Bear case
- This announcement does not restate the dividend payment date or the SARS withholding tax rate, which were disclosed in the Results Announcement of 28 August 2026.
AI-generated summary by SENS-AI, based on the original JSE SENS filing.
SENS-AI conclusion
This is a conditions-cleared notice, not a new dividend declaration. The special dividend of 75.0 cents per share and the total annual distribution of 135.0 cents per share were announced on 28 August 2026 and have been confirmed in full in this filing. The market priced those figures six weeks ago; this finalisation is execution, not a fresh catalyst. No change to the earnings or capital-structure picture.
No immediate follow-up on this filing — the payment date and withholding tax rate are in the 28 August 2026 Results Announcement, not reproduced here.
Evidence from the filing
Dividend terms and payment date are not restated.
“All other information relating to the special dividend, including the tax implications, remains unchanged from that disclosed in the Results Announcement.”
