Introduction Arcay Moela Sponsors is authorised to announce that the board of directors of Anglorand ("the Anglorand Board") has resolved to seek the approval of all holders of Anglorand cumulative preference shares ("Anglorand shareholders") at a general meeting convened for the purpose of the delisting of the company`s securities from the JSE, subject to the conditions precedent set out in paragraph 3 of this announcement ("the general meeting"). 2. Rationale for the Delisting The board has taken the following factors into account in regard to the proposed delisting: * the largest shareholders hold approximately 90.86% of Anglorand`s issued cumulative preference share capital; * of the remaining 9.14% held by the general public and directors, most shareholders are inactive, which has resulted in very low levels of trade in the company`s securities on the JSE; * the company does not expect to raise capital during the next couple of years; * as a result of the above, the benefits of listing are out of proportion to the management time and expense pertaining thereto The delisting will be effected by way of an application to the listings division of the JSE in terms of paragraph 1.13 of the JSE Listings Requirements and approval by the requisite majority of shareholders in the general meeting. Neither the controlling shareholders nor any parties associated with the controlling shareholders may vote on the resolution approving the delisting of the company. 3. Conditions Precedent The offer and the delisting of the company from the JSE are subject to the following conditions precedent: * The furnishing by the JSE of consent and authorities required in respect of the offer and delisting of the company; * The passing at the general meeting by the requisite majority of Anglorand cumulative preference shareholders, excluding the controlling shareholders, of the ordinary resolution required to implement the delisting. 4. Opinions In accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, the Anglorand Board has appointed an Independent Professional Expert to review the terms and conditions of the offer to ensure that the offer is fair. The opinion of the Independent Professional Expert will be included in the circular to shareholders. 5. Terms of the offer Hamlet investment has made an offer to cumulative preference shareholders to acquire all or part of the Anglorand preference shares for a purchase consideration of 200 cents per share, which offer is subject to the approval of cumulative preference shareholders in general meeting of the proposed delisting of the Anglorand preference shares from the JSE. 6.
