CLARIFICATION OF THE ORDER OF THE COURT
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 3 February 2017, relating to a
court application submitted by Texton which sought to set aside certain transactions entered into during
2015 relating to the internal restructuring of Texton (the “Restructure”), whereby certain immovable
properties were distributed by subsidiaries of Texton (the “Subsidiaries”) to Texton. The intention of
the Restructure was to rationalise Texton’s group structure.
Pursuant to the Restructure, the distributions were deemed to be invalid as none of the Subsidiaries
satisfied the requisite solvency and liquidity tests in terms of section 46 of the Companies Act 71 of
2008 at the time of the distributions and, subsequently, Texton has applied to the courts to have the
Restructure set aside. On 24 January 2017, the judge granted an order for interested persons to show
cause on or before 24 February 2017 why the identified transactions should not be set aside as being
void ab initio and directed that Texton publish the terms of the court order in the Government Gazzette
and on SENS.
Shareholders will be notified of the outcome of the matter shortly after the court hearing, which will be
held on 24 February 2017.
Please refer to the contingent liabilities note in the annual financial statements for the period ended 30
June 2016, where this matter was originally disclosed.
