Indigenisation and Economic Empowerment Act updated May 2011
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.
17.5 The price of all units shall be paid in the manner required by the managers.
17.6 All cheques, bills of exchange, promissory notes and other negotiable instruments
shall be made in favour of the Unit Trust Account and all cash received shall be paid into an
account opened in the name of the Unit Trust Account and the signing powers over which have
been approved by the Board.
Subdivision of units
18.1 The managers may, with the approval of the Board, determine that each unit be
subdivided into two or more units and thereupon each unit shall be subdivided accordingly and
the number of units shall be increased accordingly.
18.2 The managers shall forthwith send to every unit holder a certificate representing the
additional number of units to which the unit holder has become entitled as a result of the
subdivision.
