Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act updated as at 8th May 2015 16.5 The managers may also from time to time, with the approval of the Board, make arrangements for the issue of bonus units to the holders of units upon such terms as the managers may think fit provided that the Board is satisfied that such issue shall not result in any prejudice to any existing unit holders. 16.6 The managers shall furnish to the Board on demand a statement of all issues of units and of the terms on which they are issued and of any investments and immovable property which is held by the Unit Trust Account or which they intend to purchase for the account of the Unit Trust Account, and also a statement of any investments and immovable property which in accordance with the powers given to them in this Schedule they intend to sell for the account of the Unit Trust Account, and any other information which may be necessary so that the Board may be in a position to ascertain at any moment the value of the deposited property. 16.7 The Board shall be entitled to refuse to authorise the issue of a certificate if at any time the Board is of the opinion that the provisions of this paragraph in regard to the issue of units are being infringed; but nothing in this paragraph or elsewhere in this Schedule shall impose upon the Board any responsibility for satisfying themselves before issuing certificates that the managers have complied with the conditions of this paragraph. 16.8 No issue of units shall be made so as to increase the number of units issued and outstanding, or deemed to be issued outstanding, beyond the amount agreed in writing from time to time by the Board and the managers. Price of units 17.1 The price at which any issue of units (save for those providing the initial portfolio) is made shall be ascertained by dividing the value at the date of such issue of the deposited property by the number of units then in issue; by adding thereto such sum as the managers may consider represents the appropriate provision for fiscal and purchase charges; by further adding thereto the change as provided in paragraph 16 and adjusting the resulting total upwards by not more than 1 cent per unit. 17.2 Notwithstanding paragraph 17.1, the managers shall be entitled from time to time to publish in newspapers, circulars and other forms of advertising media having a substantial circulation throughout Zimbabwe, an invitation to the public approved by the Board to apply for new units at a “fixed price” not exceeding the price ascertained under paragraph 17.1 which shall be ruling on the dealing day immediately preceding the date of publication of such invitation. Such fixed price shall apply for so long a period as the invitation shall remain open. New units may be issued at the fixed price provided that a new unit shall be deemed to be issued on the day on which the application to subscribe for that unit is received by the managers. 17.3 The managers shall be entitled, notwithstanding paragraphs 17.1 and 17.2, upon receipt of an application for units sent from a place other than Harare, Zimbabwe, to issue such units at a price greater than that ascertained under paragraph 17.1 or 17.2, provided that such price is not more than five per centum (5) higher than the price so ascertained ruling at the date of such issue. 17.4 In the event of arrangement being made by the managers for the issue of units for delivery in any country outside Zimbabwe, the price at which such units may be issued may, at the discretion of the managers, include as an addition to the price of issue a further amount sufficient to cover any additional stamp duty or taxation whether national, municipal or otherwise leviable in that country in respect of such issue or of the delivery or issue of certificates in connection therewith, or the remittance of money to Zimbabwe. - 29 -
