RBX - Raubex Group Limited - Results of Annual General Meeting RAUBEX GROUP LIMITED (Previously Lexpub 49 Investments Limited) (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 2006/023666/06) JSE Share code: RBX ISIN: ZAE000093183 Results of Annual General Meeting Raubex shareholders are advised that at the Annual General Meeting of members held on Friday, 21 September 2007, all resolutions as proposed in the Notice of the Annual General Meeting were approved by the requisite majority of members. The special resolution will be lodged with the registrar for registration in due course. At the Annual General Meeting, the chairman, Collin Matjila, made the following address: "It is with great pleasure that I stand before you to mark yet another significant event in the thirty year history of the company. Our successful listing on the main board of the JSE Limited on 20 March 2007 marked the effective transformation into a public entity and we firmly believe that with your support, we are now better positioned to attain our intended vision and mission and continue to grow from strength to strength in this buoyant environment. South Africa is currently experiencing a capacity constraint in the civil engineering sector and whilst this means that the Government may experience difficulties in meeting original timeframes relating to infrastructure development, we believe that this allows highly specialised and empowered companies such as Raubex to select higher quality projects with better margin levels. This skills situation is very relevant to Raubex and we are very much aware that the key driver of our business is our people. This is why we`ve asked you today to agree the implementation of a Share Incentive Scheme aimed to attract, retain and reward the best talent in the industry at middle management level. This is an important strategic step and we thank you for your support. You will have seen our trading statement published on 7 September 2007 which reinforced our commitment to realise solid growth and build shareholder value. Business prospects continue to be strong and our order book is growing daily supported by the government`s budget commitment on roads alone of R60 billion over the next three years. During the year under review, Raubex proceeded with its stated strategy of growing both organically and acquisitively. This is reflected by last year`s solid performance, the guidance provided through our trading statement but also through the strategic acquisitions of Milling Techniks, SPH Kundalila and National Asphalt. As mentioned before, the directors will proactively continue to identify value enhancing opportunities for the various divisions of the Group but we will not proceed with a deal that does not meet the strict criteria agreed by the board. It is worth noting that in southern Africa, acquisitions in geographies well known to the company may also be considered. To conclude, we are pleased with our performance since listing and look forward to building on our experience, leveraging on the positive market dynamics and we anticipate another successful year ahead."
