DELISTING ANNOUNCEMENT
1. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Shareholders are advised that m Cubed made an application to
the JSE Limited (“JSE”) on 27 August 2012 to delist the
Company for the reasons set out below, which application has
subsequently been approved by the JSE on 26 October 2012.
1.2. Accordingly the Company will no longer proceed with the
application for (i) the reverse listing; (ii) the lifting of
the suspension of m Cubed, and (iii) the mirror listing of
m Cubed into a new entity, named Trinity Investment Holdings
Limited (collectively “the Listing Process”), as set out in
more detail in the announcements released on SENS on
21 December 2011 and 26 April 2012, respectively (“Previous
Announcements”).
1.3. The purpose of this announcement is to advise shareholders
on the rationale as well as the salient times and dates for
the delisting.
2. RATIONALE FOR DELISTING
2.1. m Cubed began the Listing Process in September 2011. Given
the length of time it has taken to complete the Listing
Process, m Cubed has decided not to proceed with the Listing
Process at this stage.
2.2. The reason for the delay in the completion and
implementation of the Listing Process is that m Cubed has
not been able to meet certain regulatory requirements in
order to implement the Listing Process of the JSE.
2.3. In light of m Cubed’s current status as a JSE cash shell, it
cannot implement the proposed acquisitions (as set out in
the Previous Announcements) without obtaining shareholder
and JSE approval. These transactions are incurring expenses
and interest charges which, given the delay, the Company
cannot continue to justify to shareholders.
2.4. The m Cubed board of directors has therefore taken the view
that it is in the interest of shareholders to delist the
Company. It is possible that m Cubed may seek a listing at a
later stage, should the investments it has made justify
same. It is the goal of the board to return significant
value back to shareholders in the near term.
2.5. Accordingly the board of directors applied for the approval
of the delisting which has been granted and will be
implemented on the dates and times set out in paragraph 4
below.
3. POST DELISTING
3.1. Shareholders should note that after the delisting they will
remain shareholders in the unlisted Company.
3.2. Post the delisting, m Cubed intends to consider alternative
opportunities to return value back to shareholders.
