NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS
____________________________________________________________________________
Letshego Holdings Limited ("LHL" I “The Company” I "the Group" I "Letshego") was
incorporated in 1998, is headquartered in Gaborone and has been publicly listed
on the Botswana Stock Exchange (BSE) since 2002. Letshego is an inclusive
finance organisation, driven by its digital-first vision to achieve a marked
social impact within its 11 subsidiaries across sub-Saharan Africa.
It has come to the attention of the Board of Directors of the Company that
speculation exists in the market that the Company is in negotiations with a third
party in the region to give effect to an unsolicited offer to acquire a portion
of the ordinary share capital of the Company.
The Company hereby unequivocally refutes the speculation and would like to advise
shareholders that, whilst the Company was recently approached by a third party in
the region, the approach did not materialise into a firm intention to make an
offer. Therefore, the Board confirms that there are currently no ongoing
negotiations between the Company and any third party to acquire a portion of
ordinary share capital of the Company.
Should a firm intention to make an offer be received, the Company Board will
consider the offer in the interests of shareholders and address the offer as
prescribed in the takeover regulations of the Botswana Stock Exchange. The Board
will issue all necessary announcements in accordance with the applicable listing
rules.
Shareholders are advised not to rely on any information other than information
disclosed formally by the Company.
