The repurchases were made in terms of the general authority granted by shareholders at the
AGM and were effected through the order book operated by the JSE Limited trading system
without any prior understanding or arrangement between the Company or subsidiary and the
counterparties. The requirements for the general repurchase of ordinary shares in terms of
paragraph 5.72(a) of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, have been complied with.
The Company or its subsidiaries may repurchase up to a further 9 158 055 ordinary shares
(8,747% of the ordinary shares in issue as at the date on which the authority was granted), in
terms of the current general authority, which is valid until the Company’s next annual general
meeting.
As at the date of this announcement, the Group held 6 567 033 ordinary shares in treasury,
including the repurchased shares referred to in this announcement. The impact of the
repurchases of the ordinary shares on the financial position of the Group is immaterial, as the
repurchases were funded out of the Group’s available cash resources.
OPINION OF THE BOARD
The Board has considered the effect of the repurchases and is of the opinion that, for a period
of 12 months following the date of this announcement:
- the Company and the Group will be able, in the ordinary course of business, to repay
their debts;
- the consolidated assets of the Company and the Group will be in excess of the
consolidated liabilities of the Company and the Group;
- the Company’s and the Group’s share capital and reserves will be adequate for the
ordinary business purposes of the Company and the Group; and
- the Company and the Group will have sufficient working capital for ordinary business
purposes.
