RESULTS OF THE MS333 ELECTION PROCESS AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
1. UPDATE ON THE REPLACEMENT BEE TRANSACTION AND MS333 ELECTION PROCESS
1.1. Exxaro shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement released on the Stock Exchange
News Service (?SENS?) on Monday, 18 September 2017, relating to the terms of the replacement
black economic empowerment transaction (the ?Replacement BEE Transaction?) (the ?Terms
Announcement?).
1.2. Exxaro wishes to inform shareholders that the process undertaken by Main Street Proprietary
Limited (?MS333?) to determine the number of Exxaro shares (?Exxaro Shares?) to be reinvested
into the Replacement BEE Transaction structure (the ?New Empowerment Structure?) (the
?MS333 Election Process?) has now been concluded.
1.3. Certain MS333 shareholders, excluding the Industrial Development Corporation (the ?IDC?) (the
?Reinvesting MS333 Shareholders?) have irrevocably committed to reinvest 28 052 845 Exxaro
shares into the New Empowerment Structure (the ?MS333 Reinvestment?). The balance of the
Exxaro Shares held by MS333, excluding the Exxaro Shares to be utilised by the IDC for
reinvestment into the New Empowerment Structure (the ?IDC Reinvestment?), will be distributed
by MS333 to its shareholders in the form of cash and/or Exxaro Shares not subject to the New
Empowerment Structure restrictions, as elected in the MS333 Election Process and subject to the
cash proceeds realised in the market by MS333 through a placement of Exxaro Shares.
1.4. The Reinvesting MS333 Shareholders? interests in the New Empowerment Structure will be held
through a separately incorporated special purpose vehicle (?BEE SPV?). This will result in the
equity of the special purpose vehicle established for purposes of being the empowerment vehicle
that will hold Exxaro Shares (?NewBEECo?) to be held in the following proportions:
NewBEECo shareholder Percentage equity interest
BEE SPV 52.2%
Exxaro 24.9%
IDC 22.9%
Total 100.0%
1.5. The result of the MS333 Reinvestment, as set out in this announcement, is that NewBEECo?s
shareholding will be more than 51.0% held for the benefit of Historically Disadvantaged South
African (?HDSA?) shareholders, through BEE SPV. The HDSA status of the New Empowerment
Structure is subject to final verification to the satisfaction of Exxaro. Shareholders are referred to
the conditions precedent to the Replacement BEE Transaction, as contained in the Terms
Announcement.
1.6. Further details of the New Empowerment Structure and the Reinvesting MS333 Shareholders will
be included in the circular to Exxaro shareholders.
1.7. Exxaro will release a further announcement on SENS, showing the pro forma financial effects of
the Replacement BEE Transaction as well as setting out the revised timeline for implementation of
the Replacement BEE Transaction
2. RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY
Further to the renewal of cautionary announcement issued on 18 September 2017, given that the
pro forma financial effects of the Replacement BEE Transaction are still being finalised, Exxaro
shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in Exxaro shares, until
these effects are announced.
