CONDITIONS PRECENDENT TO IMPLEMENTATION
Shareholders are advised that Tsogo Sun and Hosken Consolidated Investments
Limited (“HCI”) sought a declarator from the Competition Tribunal that the increase in
HCI’s shareholding in Tsogo Sun to more than 50% and the consolidation of its gaming
interests (other than its sports betting and lottery interests) under Tsogo Sun, over
which it already exerts sole control pursuant to a decision of the Tribunal in 2014, does
not constitute a merger as defined in Section 12(1) of the Competition Act and,
therefore does not require approval from the Competition Authorities in terms of the
merger control provisions of that Act.
The Tribunal dismissed the declaratory relief, but has not yet provided its reasons for
doing so. HCI, Tsogo Sun and their advisors continue to maintain that the transaction
is not notifiable and are accordingly proceeding to appeal the ruling by means of an
expedited appeal.
The parties to the transaction continue to pursue the fulfilment of the remaining
conditions precedent.
