VUN - Vunani Limited - Results of the annual general meeting and chairman`s statement VUNANI LIMITED (formerly Vunani Capital Holdings (Proprietary) Limited) (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration number 1997/020641/06) JSE code: VUN ISIN: ZAE000110359 ("Vunani" or "the company") RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING AND CHAIRMAN`S STATEMENT RESULTS OF THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING: The board of Vunani advises that, at the Annual General Meeting of shareholders held on 19 June 2008, all the ordinary resolutions as set out in the notice of Annual General Meeting contained in the company`s 2007 Annual Report, were duly approved by the requisite majority. The special resolution granting a general mandate to the directors to conduct share repurchases at the appropriate time and within prescribed limits was similarly adopted and will be submitted to CIPRO for registration. CHAIRMAN`S STATEMENT: At the company`s Annual General Meeting held today, Chairman Willy Ross said the following: "Vunani has entered an exciting period of growth. Having largely completed the phase of building our internal resources and capabilities in financial services, I`m pleased to say that we are now in a position to focus on growing our Financial Services business. Vunani`s goal is to be the pre-eminent mid-size financial services company. At the time of our listing in November last year we undertook to shareholders that we would put in place the platforms necessary to realise this goal. Through the listing of Vunani we raised R175 million which has strengthened our balance sheet and has enabled us to do deals without giving away significant upside to funders . Following the listing we have also announced two major transactions; the first of which has given us a strong position in corporate finance and treasury services. More recently we announced a significant increase in our stake in Edge, one of South Africa`s largest managers of fund of hedge funds. Vunani now has four fully functional operating business areas covering fund management, investment banking, property and its active investment arm. Our primary goal for the coming years is to build the Financial Services businesses organically and by acquisition and we expect to see a marked increase in assets under management, brokerage volumes and advisory work. This should translate to a continuation of the strong development of Vunani into the future."
