In addition, interest on the loan has been accrued, adjusted for taxation. Shareholders are advised that a circular to shareholders has been finalised relating to the approval of the conversion of the loan, interest and associated costs through the issue of new shares as well as the consolidation of the share capital of the company as further detailed below and accordingly, shareholders are also referred to the pro forma financial effects below. CONVERTIBLE LOAN As previously announced, JDH has entered into a convertible loan agreement with Golden Oak Corporate Advisors (Pty) Limited ("Golden Oak") dated 31 July 2008 in terms of which the Company has secured a loan of R10 million. Golden Oak is not a related party to JDH. However, Mr LF Harris, a material shareholder in JDH, has granted an option to Golden Oak to transfer up to 1 220 560 062 (One Billion Two Hundred and Twenty Million Five Hundred and Sixty Thousand and Sixty Two) shares (before the consolidation detailed in this circular) to Golden Oak in the event that shareholders do not approve the conversion of the loan and will then take over the loan from Golden Oak on such pro rata basis. The purchase price is determined in exactly the same format as those set out in this circular relating to the conversion of the loan. Thus the transaction has been treated as a related party transaction and an independent fairness opinion on the conversion of the loan has been obtained. The loan will be convertible at any time up to 30 October 2009, at the option of Golden Oak following the intended consolidation of the authorised and issued share capital of JDH detailed below. The conversion price will be the lower of 35 cents per share or a 10% discount to the 30 day Volume Weighted Average Price ("VWAP") as per the JSE Limited at the date of notification of exercise of the option. The loan bears interest at the prime interest rate. PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION In order to restructure the share capital of the group, it is intended that the authorised and issued share capital of the Company be consolidated on the basis of 1 share for every 100 shares held. The authorised and issued share capital before and after the share consolidation is shown below: Before: R Authorised: 15 000 000 000 shares of 0.01 cents 15 000 000 each Issued: 5 801 975 905 shares of 0.01 cents each 585 198 After: Authorised: 150 000 000 shares of 1 cent each 15 000 000 Issued: 58 019 759 shares of 1 cent each 585 198 SALIENT DATES AND TIMES 2009
