Village Main Reef Gold Mining Company (1934) Limited
(Registration number 1934/0057034/06)
Share Code: VIL
ISIN: ZAE000007720
("Village" or the "company")
POSTING OF CIRCULAR AND REVISED LISTING PARTICULARS TO VILLAGE SHAREHOLDERS IN
RESPECT OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE CHANGE OF NAME OF VILLAGE, THE PROPOSED
TRANSACTION BETWEEN VILLAGE AND SIMMERS AND WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY
Further to the joint cautionary announcement issued on SENS on 6 December 2010
and in the press on 7 December 2010, and the renewal of cautionary issued on 19
January 2011, Village shareholders are advised that Village has posted a
Circular and Revised Listing Particulars dated 2 March 2011 ("the Circular") to
its shareholders in respect of: (i) the implementation of the Change of Name of
Village and (ii) a proposed merger between Village and Simmers, in terms of
which Village will acquire the majority of Simmers` assets in consideration for
the issue by Village of Village shares which, after such issue, will constitute
approximately 66% of the total Village shares in issue, and which shares will be
Unbundled by Simmers to its shareholders (the "Proposed Transaction").
Capitalised terms contained in this announcement are defined in the Circular and
Revised Listing Particulars or below for ease of reference.
In terms of the Proposed Transaction, and subject to the fulfilment or waiver of
the Conditions Precedent, Village has agreed to:
1. acquire the Sale Assets, being:
1.1. a 100% shareholding in and claims on loan account against S&J Investments,
which is the holding company of BGM which, in turn, owns the Buffelsfontein
Gold Mine, Hartebeestfontein Gold Mine and the Tau Lekoa Mine;
1.2. 60,622,653 common shares in First Uranium Corporation ("FIU"); and
1.3. the 392,874 FIU Notes (convertible into 42,199,141 common shares in FIU);
and
2. assume the Assumed Liabilities, being:
2.1. the assumption by Village of all of Simmers` rights and obligations under
the ABSA Note Programme Documents, if the conditions precedent referred to
in 5.1.1.2.4 and 5.1.1.2.6(a) of the Circular are fulfilled;
2.2. the assumption by Village of all of Simmers` rights and obligations under
the Forward Gold Purchase Transaction Documents to Simmers, if the
condition precedent referred to in paragraph 5.1.1.2.6(b) of the Circular
is fulfilled;
2.3. the undertaking to pay to Simmers any amount which is or becomes or will
become due, owing and payable by Simmers to any other person under, in
terms of or arising out of the ABSA Note Programme Documents, if the
conditions precedent referred to in paragraphs 5.1.1.2.4 and 5.1.1.2.6(a)
of the Circular are not fulfilled, but waived;
2.4. the undertaking to pay to Simmers any amount which is or becomes or will
become due, owing and payable by Simmers to any other person under, in
terms of or arising out of the Forward Gold Purchase Transaction Documents,
if the condition precedent referred to in paragraph 5.1.1.2.6(b) of the
Circular is not fulfilled, but waived; and
2.5. the undertaking to indemnify Simmers against all loss, liability, damage or
expense which Simmers may suffer as a result of or which may be
attributable to any claims arising out of, or connected with, the Aberdeen
Loan Agreement.
The aggregate amount of Village`s liability in terms of 2.4 and 2.5 above
concerning the ABSA Note Programme Documents and the Forward Gold Purchase
Transaction Documents shall not exceed the sum of R290,316,533 and all amounts
of interest that are or become payable by Simmers under the ABSA Note Programme
Documents and the Forward Gold Purchase Transaction Documents.
Village will acquire the Sale Assets and assume the Assumed Liabilities in
consideration for the issue of the Consideration Shares (being 597,512,158
Village shares at R2.20 per share). The Consideration Shares will subsequently
be unbundled by Simmers to Simmers` shareholders.
The Transaction Consideration will be R1,314,526,748 to be settled by the issue
of the Consideration Shares to Simmers, which Simmers will be obliged to
distribute to its shareholders in terms of the Unbundling immediately thereafter
in accordance with the prescribed JSE timelines.
The Transaction Consideration implies a value of R1.05 per Simmers share, which
represents a premium of approximately 14.7% to the VWAP at which a Simmers share
traded on the JSE for the 30 days preceding 6 December 2010 (being the date of
the announcement referred to in paragraph 1 above) and 14.3% to the 30-day VWAP
to Wednesday, 23 February 2011, being the date immediately preceding the Last
Practicable Date (being 24 February, 2011).
RATIONALE
The Proposed Transaction is in line with Village`s stated objective to build
greater mass to transform Village into a company with a diversified portfolio of
self-sustaining mining operations. If implemented, the Proposed Transaction will
represent the third acquisition by Village in pursuance of this strategy -
having recently expanded its portfolio through the Lesego Transaction and, if
implemented, the Cons Murch Transaction. The Proposed Transaction further
enhances Village`s portfolio to incorporate BGM, Tau Lekoa and a significant
investment in FIU. Post implementation of the Cons Murch Transaction and the
Proposed Transaction, Village will hold: (1) a high grade platinum asset via
Lesego, (2) gold assets via S&J Investments, (3) gold and uranium exposure via
FIU and (4) gold and antimony assets via Cons Murch.
Village will be managed by an experienced management team led by the current
Chief Executive Officer, Bernard Swanepoel. Subject to the Proposed Transaction
being implemented, the Village Board intends to make an offer to Marius Saaiman
(current Chief Financial Officer of Simmers) to be appointed as Chief Financial
Officer of Village to further strengthen the management team.
Village will be well positioned to pursue further consolidation in the junior
mining assets arena with the potential to develop into one of South Africa`s
large diversified mining companies.
By combining the Simmers and Village shareholder bases as a result of the
Proposed Transaction, the BEE shareholders will be more diversified and Village
Shareholders are likely to benefit from enhanced liquidity in trading Shares.
As a result, the enlarged Village entity should have better access to capital
markets to fund future growth to continue to meet its stated strategic
objectives.
The Simmers board supports the Proposed Transaction as it will provide Simmers
with a clean break from its legacy issues over the last few years, whilst
allowing for the existing Simmers` shareholders, in aggregate, to retain a 66%
interest in the current Simmers operations.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA FINANCIAL EFFECTS OF VILLAGE
The unaudited pro forma financial effects of the Proposed Transaction on
Village for the six months ended 30 June 2010 have been prepared to show the
impact of the Capital Raising (in terms of which Village raised an amount of
R42.3 million (after transaction costs) since 20 December 2010 by way of an
offer for subscription of a maximum of 20,500,000 Village Shares, as more fully
detailed in the circular to Village shareholders dated 2 December 2010 and a
further 500,000 Village Shares under a general authority) and the Proposed
Transaction as if the Capital Raising and the Proposed Transaction had occurred
on 1 January 2010, for purposes of adjusting the pro forma earnings and on 30
June 2010 for purposes of adjusting the pro forma net asset value of Village.
The unaudited pro forma financial effects are presented for illustrative
purposes only and because of their nature may not fairly present Village`s
financial position, changes in equity, results of operations or cash flows going
forward.
The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared using accounting
policies that are consistent with IFRS and with the basis on which the
historical financial information has been prepared in terms of the accounting
policies adopted by Simmers. Simmers is the current owner of the Subject Assets
(collectively, the subject matter of the Proposed Transaction, being the Sale
Assets and the Assumed Liabilities), which is treated as the reverse acquisition
accounting acquirer for purposes of preparing the unaudited pro forma financial
effects. Village intends to apply Simmers` accounting policies post the Proposed
Transaction.
The Village Board is responsible for the compilation, contents and presentation
of the unaudited pro forma financial effects contained in this announcement and
the Circular and for the financial information from which it has been prepared.
Their responsibility includes determining that: the unaudited pro forma
financial effects have been properly compiled on the basis stated; the basis is
consistent with the accounting policies of Simmers and the pro forma adjustments
are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial effects
disclosed in terms of the Listings Requirements.
Detailed unaudited pro forma financial information is set out in the Circular
and the financial effects are summarised below.

Notes:
1. The "Before" column is based on an extract of the published unaudited pro
forma financial information of Village for the six months ended 30 June 2010 as
presented in the circular to Village Shareholders dated 2 December 2010, which
presented the impact of the Cons Murch Transaction. The extract included in the
"Before" column represents the following, with reference to the unaudited pro
forma financial information included in the circular dated 2 December 2010:
- The settlement of the Cons Murch Transaction consideration partially in
cash of R5 million and the balance settled through the issue of 15,909,091
Village Shares, as this is the consideration elected by Village. The
alternative to settle the consideration entirely through the issue of
shares is not presented as this alternative was not elected by Village.
- The completion of the first stage of the Cons Murch Transaction.
2. The "After capital raising" column presents the unaudited pro forma
financial position after the Capital Raising. It assumes the issue of 21,000,000
Village Shares resulting in a net cash inflow of R42.3 million after transaction
costs of R2.2 million. No interest received benefit is assumed for purposes of
adjusting earnings as it is assumed that cash proceeds will be used for working
capital.
3. The "After" column represents the unaudited pro forma financial position
after the Proposed Transaction, which includes the following:
- The acquisition of the Subject Assets and the impact of the application of
reverse acquisition accounting, in terms of which Village is treated as the
acquiree and the Subject Assets are treated as the acquirer.
- Assets and liabilities of the Subject Assets are carried forward into
Village at their historic values as per the reviewed historical financial
information of the Subject Assets as presented in the Circular. While the
Transaction Consideration for the Subject Assets is R1,314.5 million, the
NAV of the Subject Assets (including the subject claim) is R2,536.0
million. Assets will be subject to normal impairment testing at the next
reporting period following the implementation of the Proposed Transaction.
Impairment considerations on the historical financial information of the
Subject Assets are set out in the historical financial information of the
Subject Assets as presented in the Circular.
- The deemed acquisition value of Village is R654.1 million.
- Assets of R455 million, goodwill of R177.2 million and a deferred tax
liability of R127.4 million are recognised in addition to assets and
liabilities already reflected in the financial information of Village,
based on a preliminary purchase price allocation performed on Village.
- Estimated transaction costs associated with the Proposed Transaction are
R14.8 million, which are once-off in nature.
4. Should the Unbundling not be implemented, the Proposed Transaction may be
unwound as described in the Circular. The acquisition by Village of the
Reacquisition Shares from Simmers in terms of such an Unwind will result,
amongst other effects, in additional costs for Village in the form of taxes,
such as STC and CGT, and other costs. These costs and further potential effects
of the acquisition of Reaquisition Shares by Village cannot be factually
supported currently and are not included in the pro forma financial effects. The
pro forma financial effects assume that the Proposed Transaction and the
Unbundling will complete.
Detailed information relating to the preparation of the unaudited pro forma
financial information can be found in the Circular.
APPLICATION FOR A WAIVER OF MANDATORY OFFER
The Proposed Transaction, if implemented, will be settled through the issue of
the Consideration Shares to Simmers, which will result in Simmers owning,
momentarily, approximately 66% of the issued share capital of Village after the
Proposed Transaction (i.e. pending the Unbundling, which is expected to occur
after the issue of the Consideration Shares in accordance with the prescribed
JSE timelines).
Simmers and Village are of the view that although the issue of the Consideration
Shares will result in Simmers acquiring more than 35% of the Village shares,
this is part of a composite transaction which includes the Unbundling and,
considered in totality, the Proposed Transaction does not give rise to a change
of control of Village and the provisions of Rule 8 of the SRP Code should not
apply in the circumstances.
However, Village and Simmers have agreed that, to avoid the risk of a mandatory
offer being inadvertently triggered and in order to be cautious, they will seek
a waiver of any mandatory offer that Simmers may otherwise be required to make
to Village Shareholders as a result of the implementation of the Proposed
Transaction and, more particularly, the issue of the Consideration Shares to
Simmers (the "Waiver"). In terms of Rule 8.7 of the SRP Code the requirement for
a mandatory offer will normally be dispensed with by the SRP provided there has
been a majority of independent votes approving the waiver of a mandatory offer
at a properly constituted meeting of the holders of the relevant securities.
Accordingly, Shareholders will be asked, at the General Meeting, to approve the
proposed waiver of the requirement for Simmers to make a mandatory offer to
Shareholders in terms of Rule 8.7 of the SRP Code.
Any interested party who wishes to object to the dispensations referred to in
6.3 above, shall have seven calendar days from the date of the posting of the
Circular, (i.e. until 9 March 2011) to raise such an objection with the SRP.
Objections should be made in writing and addressed to the "Executive Director,
Securities Regulation Panel" at any one of the following addresses:
Physical:
1st Floor, Block B
Sunnyside Office Park
32 Princess of Wales Terrace
Parktown
2193
Postal:
PO Box 91833
Auckland Park
Johannesburg
2006
Fax:
+27 11 642 9284
If any submissions are made to the SRP within the permitted timeframe, the SRP
will consider the merits thereof and, if necessary, provide the objectors with
an opportunity to make representations to the SRP. Thereafter, subject to the
waiver in general meeting being granted by Shareholders, the SRP will rule on
the requirement for a mandatory offer. Once the SRP has made its ruling,
interested parties who wish to object to such ruling shall have 3 Business Days
from the date on which such ruling is announced to lodge an appeal against the
ruling with the SRP.
The granting of the aforesaid waiver and the ruling from the SRP in respect of
such waiver are conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction.
The SRP, in a letter dated 31 January 2011 (a copy of which is available for
inspection in terms of paragraph 25 below) ("Ruling Letter"), granted
dispensation to Village from compliance with Rule 3.1 (being the requirement for
the Village Board to have to obtain independent expert advice) for the reasons
set out in the Ruling Letter. As announced on 17 February 2011, Village
Shareholders were given the opportunity to raise any objections to the
dispensation from the requirement for the Village Board to obtain appropriate
external advice on the waiver. No such objections were raised.
NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
Included in the Circular posted today, Wednesday, 2 March 2011, is a Notice
