Shareholders are referred to the PSG Group announcement released on SENS on Wednesday, 2 December
2015 wherein, PSG Group announced the launch of an accelerated bookbuild offering of new ordinary shares
(the “Placing”) of PSG Group (“Placing Shares”) constituting approximately 3% of its issued share capital, to
raise approximately R1.5 billion, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions including pricing acceptable to
PSG Group, through a bookbuilding process (the “Bookbuild”), to be carried out by PSG Capital Proprietary
Limited (“PSG Capital”) and Merrill Lynch International (“BofA Merrill Lynch”) (each of PSG Capital and BofA
Merrill Lynch being a “Bookrunner” and, together, the “Joint Bookrunners”). PSG Group further indicated that it
may increase the book to up to R2.5 billion by way of a SENS announcement earlier today. The book closed at
08h59 (SA time) today, as per the SENS announcement published on Wednesday, 2 December 2015.
PSG Group is pleased to announce that it has successfully priced and closed the Bookbuild.
PSG Group received bids for a total value of approximately R3.9 billion and has decided to accept bids to the
value of R2.2 billion, at a Placing price of R245 per Placing Share (“Placing Price”). Accordingly a total
number of 9 million new PSG Group ordinary shares, constituting approximately 4% of PSG Group’s issued
share capital, will be issued in terms of the Placing. The Placing Price represents a discount of 7.9% to the
30-day volume weighted average traded price of PSG Group ordinary shares for the 30-trading day period
ended 2 December 2015.
An application will be made to the JSE for the listing of the Placing Shares. Listing and trading of the Placing
Shares is expected to commence at 09h00 on Thursday, 10 December 2015, subject to JSE approval.
PSG Group would like to thank all participants that submitted bids and participated in the Bookbuild.
