SMALL RELATED PARTY TRANSACTION
1. INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are advised that on 31 May 2019, the Company and its wholly-owned
subsidiary African Dawn Property Transfer 2 Proprietary Limited (“PTF 2”), entered into
an agreement (“Agreement”) with Willem Jakobus Groenewald (“WJ Groenewald”), a
director of and related party to the Company, Makalu Capital Proprietary Limited (“Makulu
Capital”), an associate of WJ Groenewald and Graham Brian Hope (“G Hope”), a director
of and related party to the Company (together the “Grantors”), in terms of which the
Grantors grant PTF 2 an irrevocable put option (“Put Option”) to sell certain claims and/or
rights of action of whatsoever nature, owned by PTF 2 against certain creditors, including
PTF 2’s entitlement to any securities furnished in connection with such claims (“Option
Claims”) for an option claims consideration equal to the aggregate carry value of the
Option Claims as at 28 February 2019, being R2 106 119 (“Option Claims
Consideration”).
The Put Option may be exercised at the discretion of PTF 2 within a period of 120 calendar
days from the date of signature of the Agreement. As at the date of this announcement,
PTF 2 has not exercised the Put Option.
2. RATIONALE FOR THE EXERCISE OF THE PUT OPTION
The exercise of the Put Option will further reduce uncertainties arising from collecting the
Option Claims for the Afdawn group of companies (“Group”), reduce the exposure of the
Company to the loans owed by the Company to the Grantors and further clean up the
Statement of Financial Position of the Group. This should enhance the Group’s ability to
attract further future funding for new revenue opportunities.
3. OPTION CLAIMS CONSIDERATION
Should PTF 2 receive any payments in respect of the Option Claims before PTF 2
exercised the Put Option (“Interim Payments”), the Option Claims Consideration shall
reduce by an amount equal to such Interim Payments.
The Option Claims Consideration will be set off against the outstanding balances of each
of the loans owed by the Company to each of the Grantors.
4. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
The Put Option is not subject to any conditions precedent.
5. OPTION EXERCISE DATE
The Put Option may be exercised within 120 calendar days from the date of signature of
the Agreement, failing which the Put Option will automatically lapse.

consolidated audited annual financial statements, was R2 106 119.
No income was generated from the Option Claims for the period ended 28 February 2019,
based on the consolidated audited annual financial statements of Afdawn for the year
ending 28 February 2019, which were prepared in terms of IFRS.
7. WARRANTIES AND OTHER SIGNIFICANT TERMS OF THE AGREEMENT
The Agreement contains warranties by the Company and PTF 2 in favour of the Grantors
which are standard for a transaction of this nature.
