UPDATE TO SMALL RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
Shareholders are referred to the announcement dated 3 December 2019, in which they were advised that
African Phoenix concluded a purchase and sale of shares agreement with Siyabonga Sizo Nhlumayo, Shafiek
Ahmed Rawoot, Alupheli Kwanele Sithebe, Kamogelo Mudimbu and Crocopillar Proprietary Limited
(collectively, the “sellers”) pursuant to which, with effect from 31 December 2019, African Phoenix will (after
having disposed of certain fixed assets and being released from liability under a property lease agreement),
acquire 100% of the shares in and claims on loan account against API Capital Proprietary Limited for an
aggregate consideration of R53 978 136 (collectively, the “API Capital transactions”).
As Siyabonga Sizo Nhlumayo and Shafiek Ahmed Rawoot were each a director of African Phoenix within
the 12 months preceding the date of the API Capital transactions and are each a related party of African
Phoenix in terms of paragraph 10.1(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements, the API Capital transactions
constitutes a small related party transaction in terms of paragraph 10.7 of the JSE Listings Requirements.
Accordingly, the company appointed Mazars Corporate Finance Proprietary Limited (“Mazars”) to provide
a fairness opinion (“fairness opinion”). Mazars has subsequently concluded that the terms of the API Capital
transactions are fair to African Phoenix shareholders.
As required in terms of paragraph 10.7(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements, the board of African Phoenix
hereby confirms that it is of the opinion that the API Capital transactions are fair insofar as African Phoenix
shareholders are concerned, having regard to the fairness opinion. Copies of the fairness opinion will be
available for inspection at the offices of the transaction sponsor (6A Sandown Valley Crescent, Sandown,
Sandton, 2196) and at the company’s registered offices for a period of 28 days from the date of this
announcement.
On the basis of the aforegoing, the acquisition is not subject to shareholder approval.
Shareholders are further advised that all the conditions precedent to the API Capital transactions have been
fulfilled and that the API Capital transactions will be effective from 31 December 2019.
