Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa
(Registration number: 2007/014490/06)
Share code: ERB ISIN: ZAE000111571
(“Erbacon” or “the Company”)
DIRECTORS RESOLUTION TO APPLY FOR WINDING-UP OF THE COMPANY
AND FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Exercise of Security over Civcon Shares
1.1 Shareholders are referred to the announcement issued
on 2 October 2013 notifying them that the Company’s
major guarantee provider had indicated to the Company
that it would exercise its rights over the shares in
Civcon Construction (Pty) Limited (“Civcon”) (“Civcon
Shares”), which Civcon Shares had been pledged to the
major guarantee provider as security for the financial
facilities made available to the Company by the major
guarantee provider (“Pledge”). The major guarantee
provider duly exercised its rights in terms of the
Pledge and is therefore entitled to dispose of the
Civcon Shares.
1.2 The announcement further indicated that the value to
be realised by the Company on the transfer of the
Civcon shares was under negotiation, however the net
effect was likely to be a material decrease in the net
tangible asset value of the Company compared to the
position as at 28 February 2013.
1.3 Shareholders are hereby advised that an agreement has
been reached with the Company’s major guarantee
provider, Civcon, Civcon Holdings(Pty) Limited
(“Civcon Holdings”) and the Company, in terms of which
the major guarantee provider disposed of the Civcon
Shares to Civcon Holdings and in terms of which, in
exchange for consenting to the disposal, the Company
has been released of all its indebtedness and other
potential liabilities relating to its subsidiaries to
the guarantee provider and its liabilities in respect
of its loan account with Civcon.
1.4 The above disposal will be implemented with effect
from 31 October 2013. The effect of implementing the
above will be that the Company will not have any other
operational assets left and will therefore be unable
to continue to conduct its business. The further
effect will be that the Company’s liabilities will
exceed its assets.
2. Directors Resolution to Wind-up the Company
2.1 The remaining directors of the Company have considered
the financial position of the Company and the
potential for it to continue to operate. The directors
have concluded that, taking into account the options
available to the Company, it is unable to continue as
a going concern. The directors have therefore resolved
to take the necessary actions for the Company to be
wound-up.
3. Further Cautionary Announcement
Further announcements regarding the winding-up of the
Company will be made in due course and shareholders are
advised to continue to exercise caution when dealing in
the Company’s securities.
