REVISED RESULTS OF GENERAL MEETING
PPC shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement released on the
Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited (“SENS”)on 6 December 2016 regarding
a General Meeting of Shareholders (“General Meeting”) in terms of which
Shareholders were requested to approve resolutions relating to the amendments to a
component of PPC’s 2008 Broad-Based Black Economic Empowerment Transaction and, as
a separate independent transaction, the additional share allocations (“Proposed
Transactions”).
Arising from enquiries from certain shareholders and following extensive engagement
with its transfer secretaries, Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited
(“Computershare”), the board of directors of PPC has become aware that some of the
proxies submitted in respect of the General Meeting were inadvertently not taken
into account by the Computershare scrutineers when determining the outcome of the
shareholder vote on the various resolutions at the General Meeting. Computershare
has communicated its sincere apologies to the board of directors of PPC for this
unfortunate but inadvertent error.
In light of the above, shareholders were erroneously advised that all the
resolutions set out in the Notice of a General Meeting were passed by the requisite
majority of shareholders present and represented by proxy at the General Meeting
held on Monday, 5 December 2016. This SENS announcement serves to rectify this
error.
Details of the revised results of the voting which have been independently
confirmed by Computershare are as follows:
