DISPOSAL OF SHAREHOLDING IN OVERBERG AGRI LIMITED – VOLUNTARY
ANNOUNCEMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are hereby advised that Zeder, acting
through its wholly owned subsidiary, Zeder Financial
Services Limited, has disposed of 812 856 ordinary shares
in Overberg Agri Limited (“Overberg Agri”), constituting
Zeder’s entire shareholding in Overberg Agri of
approximately 10%, to Overberg Agri Beleggings
(Proprietary) Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of
Overberg Agri (“Disposal”).
2. RATIONALE FOR THE DISPOSAL
Zeder is an investor in the broad agribusiness industry
with a specific focus on the food and beverage sectors.
Over the past 18 months, Zeder has communicated a refined
strategy to the market. It seeks larger, strategic stakes
in entities that allow it to play a more active role in
its underlying portfolio companies and assist with the
determination of appropriate long-term strategies to help
expand the respective businesses. While the investment in
Overberg Agri was successful, the small percentage
shareholding no longer fitted in with Zeder’s strategy.
Zeder’s internal rate of return on this investment was in
excess of 30%.
3. SALIENT DETAILS OF THE DISPOSAL
In terms of the Disposal, Zeder disposed of its 812 856
ordinary shares in Overberg Agri for a consideration of
R119.5 million, which consideration was settled through
the transfer of approximately 1.35 million ordinary
shares in Pioneer Food Group Limited to Zeder. The
effective date of the Disposal was 6 February 2014.
