2. BACKGROUND
On 4 April 2014, the Government of the Republic of South Africa (“Guarantor”) issued the Issuer
with a guarantee (“Existing Guarantee”) in respect of the obligations of the Issuer under, inter
alia, the Programme.
The Guarantor granted a further irrevocable Guarantee, dated 22 September 2017 (“New
Guarantee”) directly to the Noteholders, in respect of the Notes and other financial instruments
issued by the Issuer from time to time with varying maturities of up to 25 years.
Pursuant to the aforementioned New Guarantee and recent changes in law, certain changes and
amendments are required to be effected to the Programme Memorandum and as a result thereof,
the Issuer wishes to issue an amended and restated programme memorandum (“Amended and
Restated Programme Memorandum”) in order to record such amendments. In accordance with
Condition 20.2 of the Programme Memorandum, no modification of the Terms and Conditions
may be effected unless:
a) in writing and signed by or on behalf of the Issuer and by or on behalf of the members of the
relevant Class of Noteholders holding not less than 66.67%, in nominal amount, of the Notes
in that Class for the time being Outstanding; or
b) sanctioned by Extraordinary Resolution.
A draft of the Amended and Restated Programme Memorandum and the New Guarantee, as
marked up to reflect all the proposed or effected changes thereto, have been circulated together
with the Notice of Meeting.
The Amended and Restated Programme Memorandum is subject to alteration as it
remains to be formally approved by the JSE and remains subject to the comments of the
Noteholders. Noteholders can comment on the draft Amended and Restated Programme
Memorandum by no later than 10 calendar days prior to the abovementioned date of the
Meeting. A final draft will be sent to the Noteholders not later than 7 calendar days prior to
the abovementioned date of the Meeting.
