FULFILMENT OF CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE
RESTRUCTURING OF THE EXISTING BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT
("BBBEE") TRANSACTION AND THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE OFFER PRICE FOR THE ODD- LOT OFFER AND VOLUNTARY REPURCHASE OFFER (a''OFFERSa'') INTRODUCTION
MMI shareholders are referred the terms announcement dated 18 May 2012 wherein the details of the restructuring of the BBBEE transaction restructuring and the Offers were outlined, as well as the announcement of the results of the general meeting, dated 18 June 2012. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
MMI shareholders are hereby advised that all of the conditions precedent to the BBBEE transaction and all the conditions precedent to the Offers, including the lodgement of the relevant special resolutions with Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, have been fulfilled and the BEE transaction and Offers will be implemented in accordance with the terms set out in the circular to MMI shareholders dated 18 May 2012 (a''Circulara''). OFFER PRICE IN RESPECT OF THE OFFERS
The offer price per share in respect of the Offers has been calculated using the volume weighted average price for an MMI ordinary share (a''Sharea'') traded on the JSE over the five trading days commencing on Thursday, 28 June 2012 and ending on Wednesday, 4 July 2012 (which price was 1812 cents), plus a 10 percent premium of 181 cents (a''Offer Pricea''). Shareholders of MMI are advised that the gross Offer Price is therefore 1993 cents per share (a''Gross Offer Pricea'') and that the net Offer price is 1694 cents per Share (a''Net Offer Pricea''). Please see the paragraph below titled a''Dividend Taxa'' in relation to the Gross Offer Price and determination of Net Offer Price.
Shareholders who elect to sell, or who are deemed to have elected to sell their Shares in terms of the Offers will each receive either the Gross Offer Price or the Net Offer Price, depending on their status in relation to dividend tax as detailed below. Shareholders holding less than 100 Shares who do not make an election on whether or not to sell their Shares in terms of the odd-lot offer in accordance with the procedure detailed in the Circular will be deemed to have elected to sell their Shares. DIVIDEND TAX
Shareholders who elect to sell, or who are deemed to have elected to sell, their Shares in terms of the Offers for a cash consideration will receive:-
1) if they are exempt from dividend tax, the full Gross Offer Price per Share sold; and 2) if they are not exempt from dividend tax, the Net Offer Price per Share sold.
The reason for the lower Net Offer Price is because the Offer Price is subject to the withholding of dividend tax at a rate of 15 percent, in respect of those shareholders (i.e. beneficial owners) who are not exempt from dividend tax, and accordingly the Net Offer Price amounts to 1694 cents per Share after deducting dividend tax at a rate of 15 percent from the Gross Offer Price per Share.
The Offer Price will be paid from revenue reserves and no secondary tax on companiesa'' credits is available to be used for this purpose.
