4.2. RATIONALE FOR LISTING
PSG Konsult’s rationale for the Listing is:
- to allow PSG Konsult access to capital markets in order
to raise equity capital in the future, when required;
- to provide Shareholders with a liquid, tradeable asset
within a regulated environment, with a market-
determined share price;
- to give the general public an opportunity to acquire an
equity stake in PSG Konsult and thereby share in its
potential success in future;
- to enhance PSG Konsult’s ability to implement
acquisitions and other transactions, involving the
issuing of Shares as consideration;
- to raise PSG Konsult’s profile, to reflect its position
as a leading independent financial services group; and
- to incentivise employees and align their interests with
those of Shareholders through the allocation of options
for listed Shares.
4.3. PSG KONSULT IS A MARKET LEADER
PSG Konsult is a market-leading financial services
provider. In this regard, PSG Konsult is proud of the
following notable milestones, achievements and industry
awards:
- PSG Wealth received Business Day Investors Monthly’s

4.4. LISTING ON JSE
The JSE has granted PSG Konsult a listing by way of
introduction of all its issued ordinary Shares on the JSE
main board under the abbreviated name “PSG KST”, share code
“KST” and ISIN ZAE000191417 with effect from the
commencement of trade on 18 June 2014. PSG Konsult will be
listed in the “Financial Services” sector.
Shareholders are advised that their Shares may only be
traded on the JSE in dematerialised form. Shareholders who
wish to trade their shares following the Listing will first
need to dematerialise their Shares into an account held at
a suitable service provider. This can be either one of the
CSDPs that offers a trading service or a JSE-registered
Broker. The process takes a few days, depending on the
volumes of certificates to be authenticated. While such
Shares are undergoing dematerialisation, the Shareholder
will be unable to trade them.
Shareholders who previously held unlisted Shares, who
qualify to receive listed Shares, and who wish to trade
their Shares on the JSE, should instruct their Broker or
CSDP to liaise with Computershare Investor Services
Proprietary Limited, the Company’s appointed transfer
secretaries, in order to arrange for their current listed
share certificated allocation, to be appropriately
dematerialised and credited to their account.
Computershare provides each such Shareholder with a
statement of holdings, which, together with a signed
transfer instruction form, must be surrendered to the
Shareholder’s Broker or CSDP. The Shareholder’s Broker or
CSDP will then need to send those documents to
Computershare to dematerialise the Shares. Computershare
can be contacted through their call-centre on 0861 100 634
or at www.computershare.co.za.
Shareholders are also referred to the Company’s letter to
them dated 20 May 2014, containing further details on how
Shareholders should go about dematerialising their Shares.
4.5. SHARE CAPITAL
As at the Listing Date, the total authorised share capital
of PSG Konsult will comprise 3 000 000 000 ordinary no par
value Shares.
On the Listing Date the issued share capital of PSG Konsult
will consist of 1 262 046 111 ordinary no par value Shares,
while the stated capital of PSG Konsult will amount to
R1 321 823 928. As at the Listing Date, 357 875 Shares
