UPDATE ON THE TRANSACTIONS BETWEEN JCI INVESTMENT FINANCE PROPRIETARY
LIMITED(“JCIIF”), BOSCHENDAL PROPRIETARY LIMITED (“BOSCHENDAL”) ND
CANOMBYS LIMITED (“CANOMBYS”) AND RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Introduction
JCI shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 6 August 2012 which
outlined the key terms of the Transaction Agreement between JCIIF, Boschendal and Canombys
regarding the recapitalisation of Boschendal whereby:
- Boschendal will issue 769,608 Boschendal shares to Canombys for R76.96 reducing JCI’s
indirect shareholding in Boschendal from 62.67% to 49.00%;
- Canombys will advance R79,999,923.04 to Boschendal as a shareholders loan;
- the JCIIF and Canombys shareholder loans to Boschendal will be equalised such that
Canombys and JCIIF shall hold 51% and 49% respectively of the shareholder loans owing
by Boschendal to its shareholders;
- thereafter, Boschendal shall effect a rights offer to its shareholders to raise R20,000,000.00
of additional capital.
(collectively the “Transactions”).
This announcement provides JCI shareholders with:
- an update regarding the implementation of the Transactions and the outstanding conditions
precedent;
- an update on the categorisation of the Transactions following the receipt of a formal ruling
from the JSE Limited (“JSE”); and
- an overview of the key terms agreed in the Transaction Agreement and the shareholders
agreement (which incorporates the MOI agreed to between JCIIF and Canombys and to be
adopted by Boschendal) (“Shareholders Agreement”).
2. Categorisation of the Transactions and JCI’s continued listing
The JSE was initially approached regarding the categorisation of the Transactions and it was
concluded that the Transactions represent a Category 1 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings
Requirements, which was reflected in the SENS announcement dated 6 August 2012. The JSE
have, following further interaction, provided a formal ruling that the Transactions represent a
Category 2 transaction in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, and as a result no
shareholders meeting is required in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements to approve the
Transactions.
As part of the formal ruling, the JSE highlighted that once the Transactions have been
implemented, JCI will not control the majority of its assets in terms of the JSE Listings
Requirements and has requested that JCI submit details to the JSE justifying its continued listing
on the exchange. JCI shareholders are advised of the fact that JCI will no longer control the
majority of its assets following the Transactions and that this may result in the delisting of JCI.
3. Conditions precedent
As at the date of this announcement all of the conditions precedent to the Transactions have been
fulfilled and/or waived.
4. Pro forma financial effects of the Transactions
The pro forma financial effects of the Transactions on JCI’s unaudited net asset value statement
are not significant.

6. Other key terms of the Transaction Agreement and Shareholders Agreement

reasonable endeavours to conclude a shareholders’ agreement in respect of Boschendal and to
