IMPACT OF COVID-19 RESTRICTIONS ON THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING TO BE HELD ON
TUESDAY, 12 MAY 2020
1. Introduction
1.1 Shareholders are reminded that an Annual General Meeting of Shareholders will be held
at 09h00 on Tuesday 12 May 2020 at The Maslow Hotel, corner Grayston Drive and
Rivonia Road, Sandton, Gauteng, to consider and if deemed fit, pass with or without
modification, the resolutions contemplated in the Notice of Annual General Meeting which
was posted to Shareholders on 26 March 2020 and which is available on Sun
International’s website at: www.suninternational.com/investors
1.2 Shareholders are referred to the salient details relating to the Annual General Meeting
which were released on SENS on 26 March 2020.
2. Change in logistical arrangements for the Annual General Meeting
2.1 As a result of the recent COVID-19 outbreak in South Africa and its declaration as a
"national disaster" in terms of the Disaster Management Act, 2002 (including the
restrictions imposed thereby on public gatherings), and the subsequent declarations by
President Cyril Ramaphosa of a nation-wide lockdown until midnight on 30 April 2020 and
the staggered reopening of the economy thereafter, it is no longer permissible to hold the
Annual General Meeting in person at The Maslow Hotel.
2.2 The Annual General Meeting will proceed at 09:00 on Tuesday, 12 May 2020, and will only be
accessible through electronic communication, as permitted by the JSE Limited and the
provisions of the Companies Act and the Company's Memorandum of Incorporation.
2.3 To this end, the Company has retained the services of The Meeting Specialist Proprietary
Limited ("TMS") to host the Annual General Meeting on an interactive electronic platform
remotely, in order to facilitate remote participation and voting by Shareholders. TMS will
also act as scrutineer.
Shareholders who wish to participate electronically in and / or vote at the Annual General
Meeting are required to contact TMS on proxy@tmsmeetings.co.za or alternatively contact
their office on +27 11 520 7950/1/2 as soon as possible, but in any event, for administrative
purposes only, by no later than 09:00 on Monday, 11 May 2020. However, this will not in any
way affect the rights of Shareholders to register for the Annual General Meeting after this
date, provided, however, that only those Shareholders who are fully verified (as required
in terms of section 63(1) of the Companies Act) and subsequently registered at the
commencement of the Annual General Meeting, will be allowed to participate in and / or
vote by electronic means.
Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit votes by proxy before the Annual General
Meeting. If individual Shareholders wish to participate in the Annual General Meeting, they
should instruct their CSDP or broker to issue them with the necessary letter of
representation to participate in the Annual General Meeting in person, in the manner
stipulated in their respective custody agreements. These instructions must be provided to
the CSDP or broker by the cut-off time and date advised by the CSDP or broker for
instructions of this nature.
2.4 TMS will assist Shareholders with the requirements for electronic participation in, and / or
voting at the Annual General Meeting. TMS is further obliged to validate (in
correspondence with Sun International and, in particular, the Transfer Secretary, Link
Market Services South Africa (Pty) Limited ("Link"), and your CSDP) each such
Shareholder's entitlement to participate in and / or vote at the Annual General Meeting,
before providing it with the necessary means to access the Annual General Meeting and /
or the associated voting platform.
2.5 Aside from the costs incurred by Sun International as a result of the hosting by TMS of the
Annual General Meeting by way of a remote interactive electronic platform, which
Shareholders can choose to access, Shareholders will be liable for their own network
charges in relation to electronic participation in and / or voting at the Annual General
Meeting. Any such charges will not be for the account of the JSE, Sun International and /
or TMS. None of the JSE, Sun International or TMS can be held accountable in the case
of loss of network connectivity or other network failure due to insufficient airtime, internet
connectivity, internet bandwidth and / or power outages which prevents any such
Shareholder from participating in and / or voting at the Annual General Meeting.
3. Voting by Proxy
3.1 Notwithstanding the above, Shareholders are reminded that they are still able to vote
normally through proxy submission, despite deciding to participate either electronically or
not at all in the Annual General Meeting. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to submit
votes by proxy in advance of the Annual General Meeting.
3.2 Kindly ensure that TMS is copied when submitting all completed proxy forms and / or letters
of representation to Link.
3.3 Please forward all relevant information to the below mentioned:-
