ACQUISITION OF R804.6 MILLION OF ZAMBEZI PREFERENCE SHARES
Northam shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 2 July 2020 (“previous announcement”)
pertaining to the acquisition by Northam of preference shares in Zambezi Platinum (RF) Limited (“Zambezi”)
(“Zambezi preference shares”).
Northam is pleased to announce that, since the date of the previous announcement, it has acquired an
additional 9 635 664 Zambezi preference shares for a total cash consideration of approximately R804.6 million
(“ZPLP acquisition”). Following the ZPLP acquisition, Northam will hold 74 729 551 Zambezi preference
shares (“Northam owned prefs”), representing approximately 46.7% of all Zambezi preference shares in issue.
The face value of the Northam owned prefs as at 17 August 2020, calculated as the initial issue price of the
Zambezi preference shares plus accumulated preference share dividends, amounts to approximately R5.96
billion.
As stated in the previous announcement, Northam’s acquisition of Zambezi preference shares will reduce the
preference share dividend expense and liability included in Northam’s consolidated financial statements, as well
as Northam’s potential financial exposure under the guarantee it provided to holders of Zambezi preference
shares, should the guarantee be called upon. Furthermore, should Zambezi elect to redeem the Zambezi
preference shares through a distribution of ordinary shares in Northam (“Northam shares”) held by Zambezi,
then the redemption of the Zambezi preference shares held by Northam, at such time, will result in a distribution
of Northam shares to Northam, thereby reducing the number of Northam shares in issue.
The ZPLP acquisition has been fully funded through Northam’s internal cash resources.
The ZPLP acquisition is not a categorised transaction in terms of the JSE Limited Listings Requirements and
information relating thereto is provided for information purposes only.
