DISPOSAL OF CERTAIN EQUIPMENT AND A PROPERTY AND WITHDRAWAL
OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
1. Introduction
The board of directors of Spanjaard wishes to advise that it has entered into interdependent agreements with
Rand Refinery Proprietary Limited ("the Purchaser") in terms of which it will, through its wholly-owned subsidiaries,
Coppermet Proprietary Limited and Slip Products (SA) Proprietary Limited, dispose of certain equipment and the
property on which the equipment is situated ("the assets") to the Purchaser ("the disposal").
2. Nature of business and rationale for the disposal
Slip Products (SA) Proprietary Limited is a property holding company. Coppermet Proprietary Limited is a manufacturer
and supplier of synthetic graphite powders, atomized metal powders, metal fibers and chips. The disposal will allow
Spanjaard to concentrate on its core business. Coppermet will retain the graphite operations.
3. The disposal
Spanjaard has disposed of the assets to the Purchaser for a consideration of R6,35 million, to be settled in cash upon
transfer of the assets into the name of the Purchaser. The sale proceeds will be utilised to settle the existing bond of
R177 696 on the property, and to improve cash and cash equivalents.
The effective date of the disposal is 19 November 2013.
The disposal is unconditional and "voetstoots".
4. Financial effects of the disposal
The table below sets out the financial effects of the disposal on the headline earnings, earnings, tangible net asset
value and net asset value per share in Spanjaard based on the published unaudited financial statements of the
company for the six months ended on 31 August 2013, as if the disposal had been effective on that date. The
financial effects are the responsibility of the directors of Spanjaard and are prepared for illustrative purposes only and,
because of their nature, may not fairly present the financial position of the company, changes in its equity, and results
of its operations or cash flows after the disposal.

liabilities, income tax and capital gains tax.
