RESULTS OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS TO APPROVE PROPOSED GSK
TRANSACTION
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released by Aspen Holdings on 30 June 2013 wherein it
was confirmed that it would be proposed to shareholders of Aspen Holdings that Aspen Global
Incorporated (“AGI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Aspen Holdings, acquire from GlaxoSmithKline plc
(“GSK”) the Arixtra and Fraxiparine/Fraxodi brands (“the Brands”) and business worldwide, except in China,
Pakistan and India (“the Excluded Territories”) and Aspen Holdings acquire from GSK a specialised sterile
production site which manufactures the Brands at Notre Dame de Bondeville, France (“the Site”),
collectively (“the Proposed Transaction”). It was also confirmed that the aggregate purchase consideration
payable by Aspen Holdings and AGI in respect of the Proposed Transaction was £600 million.
As the Proposed Transaction was categorised as a Category 2 transaction in terms of the Listings
Requirements of the JSE, with GSK being a material shareholder and a related party to Aspen Holdings,
shareholders were requested to approve the Proposed Transaction by means of an ordinary resolution (i.e.
with 50% of the votes cast in favour of the Proposed Transaction), excluding shares held by GSK and its
associates, at a general meeting of shareholders called for this purpose on 8 November 2013.
Aspen has pleasure in confirming that the ordinary resolution put to shareholders to approve the Proposed
Transaction at this general meeting was carried with 100% of votes having been cast in favour of it.
