VMR to consider strategic value realising options for the company and cautionary announcement VILLAGE MAIN REEF LIMITED (Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa) (Registration Number 1934/0057034/06) Share code: VIL ISIN: ZAE000154761 (“VMR” or “the Company”) VMR TO CONSIDER STRATEGIC VALUE REALISING OPTIONS FOR THE COMPANY AND CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT VMR shareholders are advised that the Board of directors of the Company (“the Board”) has resolved to evaluate strategic alternatives to unlock value for its shareholders. This decision has been driven by the Company receiving a number of unsolicited approaches from third parties to acquire either the company or certain of its assets. To this end the Company has appointed Qinisele Resources Proprietary Limited, a specialist resources corporate finance boutique, to formalize the process and to explore strategic alternatives in order to realise value for VMR shareholders. The alternatives may include, among others, the sale of some or all of the Company’s assets. VMR shareholders are accordingly advised that the Company may enter into negotiations, which if successfully concluded may have a material effect on the price of the Company's securities. Accordingly, shareholders are advised to exercise caution when dealing in the Company's securities until a further announcement is made. 13 October 2014 Johannesburg Corporate Advisor: Qinisele Resource Proprietary Limited Sponsor: Bravura Capital Proprietary Limited Date: 13/10/2014 10:00:00 Produced by the JSE SENS Department.
