LAPSING OF AFRICA RADIO SALE
Shareholders are referred to the Company’s previous SENS announcements, most recently that of
23 October 2019, and its circular regarding the disposal by Tiso Blackstar of, inter alia, its media, broadcasting
and content assets in Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya to Lebashe Investment Group (Pty) Ltd (“Lebashe”) (“Africa
Radio Sale”), and are advised that due to the non-fulfilment of a condition precedent thereto, the Africa Radio
Sale has lapsed and will not proceed.
The relevant condition precedent related to the conclusion of a deed of adherence, as detailed more fully in the
abovementioned circular. Despite great effort, it proved impossible to obtain the required signature of a minority
shareholder of Multimedia Group Limited.
The Africa Radio Sale is separate from the SA Radio Sale and much larger SA Sale (as defined in the
abovementioned circular) and the various transactions are not interconditional. In this regard, the SA Sale has
already been implemented (as previously announced), while it is anticipated that the SA Radio Sale will be
completed in June 2020, following approval by the Independent Communications Authority of South Africa.
The Company and Lebashe are considering the conclusion of a new transaction relating to the abovementioned
media, broadcasting and content assets in Ghana, Nigeria and Kenya and have entered into fresh negotiations
in this regard.
