1 Introduction
Further to the cautionary announcements of 28 April 2010, 8 June
2010 and 21 July 2010, shareholders are advised that Insimbi Alloy
Supplies (Proprietary) Limited ("Insimbi Alloys") and Insimbi Alloy
Properties (Proprietary) Limited ("Insimbi Properties"), both
wholly owned subsidiary companies of Insimbi, have concluded
separate agreements whereby, with effect from 13 July 2010, they
will respectively acquire, the entire issued share capitals of and
claims on loan accounts against Metlite Alloys and Metlite
Properties (jointly referred to herein as "Metlite").
2 Background information on Metlite
Metlite, has been in operation for more than 20 years and it`s core
business is manufacturing various high quality aluminium alloys. It
is based in Cape Town where it`s facilities produce aluminium alloy
ingot and aluminium de-oxidant. It is a second tier supplier to
many of the major automotive component manufacturers in South
Africa and abroad as well as the local steel and related
industries.
3 Rationale for the acquisition of Metlite Alloys and Metlite
Properties ("the Transaction")
Metlite`s business is complimentary to that of Insimbi`s. The
acquisition of Metlite will provide various cost efficiencies and
synergies for Insimbi into its Western Cape customer base,
particularly that of production and transport costs which will be
greatly reduced. The combined entity will also provide the Company
with greater buying power for various raw materials. It is
Insimbi`s intention to further expand its footprint and service
offerings into the Western and Eastern Cape and supplement it`s
existing footprint subsequent to the acquisition of Global
Materials SA (Pty) Ltd in Atlantis, by Insimbi in March 2009.
The transfer of skills to Insimbi and the synergies created by the
Transaction will be exceptionally beneficial to the Insimbi group
of companies.
