1. Introduction
Shareholders are referred to the cautionary announcement released on SENS on 1 March 2021,

raise further equity capital.
The board of directors of Bauba (“Board”) is pleased to advise shareholders that it has entered into a
binding subscription agreement with Raubex Proprietary Limited (“Raubex” or “the Subscriber”), a
wholly owned subsidiary of the Raubex Group Limited (“Subscription Agreement”) in terms of which
Raubex will subscribe for 147 811 073 ordinary shares of the Company (“Subscription Shares”).
2. Salient Terms of the Subscription Agreement
The issue of the Subscription Shares is subject to the fulfilment or waiver, as the case may be, of
various conditions precedent, to be fulfilled on or before 22 March 2021 (“Fulfilment Date”), including
inter alia:
- The satisfactory completion of a due diligence process of the Company by the Subscriber.
- Approval by the board of directors of Raubex.
- The major shareholders of the Company providing irrevocable undertakings, agreeing to vote in
favour of the implementation of a dividend policy for Bauba of not less than 30% per annum of
the profit after tax of the Company, subject to the availability of free cash flow and the relevant
requirements of the Companies Act (No 71 of 2008) as amended (“Dividend Policy”).
The implementation of the Dividend Policy is subject to the memorandum of incorporation of the
Company being amended, which amendment(s) will require approval from shareholders and the JSE
Limited (“JSE”), which process will commence after the Fulfilment Date.
3. General Authority
Subject to the fulfilment of the various conditions precedent, the Subscription Shares will be issued in
terms of the Company’s general authority to issue shares for cash, one business day after the
