Specific Repurchase, EmployeeCo Transaction and ManCo Transaction 1. Introduction and rationale
Shareholders are advised that Insimbi has entered into a repurchase agreement with Insimbi Alloy Supplies Proprietary Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Insimbi ('Insimbi Alloy') for the repurchase of up to 13 000 000 shares from Insimbi Alloy ('Specific Repurchase') on the terms of such agreement ('the Repurchase Agreement').
Furthermore, shareholders are also advised that Insimbi has entered into agreements for the implementation of an employee share participation transaction and a management share participation transaction in terms of which eligible employees of Insimbi (other than directors and prescribed officers of the Group as contemplated in the Companies Act, 2008 (Act 71 of 2008), as amended, ('Companies Act') ('Eligible Employees') will, collectively, obtain an approximate 8.78% indirect shareholding interest in Insimbi ('the Transactions').
Eligible Employees forming part of Insimbi's management structure ('ManCo Participants') will by way of individual shareholding interests to be held in Piece For All Trading Proprietary Limited ('ManCo') obtain a collective 3.78% indirect shareholding interest in Insimbi ('ManCo Transaction'). The balance of the Eligible Employees not participating in the ManCo transaction ('EmployeeCo Participants') will by way of individual shareholding interests in Starblitz Trading Proprietary Limited ('EmployeeCo') obtain a collective 5.00% indirect shareholding interest in Insimbi ('EmployeeCo Transaction'). The board of directors of Insimbi ('the Board') has recognised the need to foster a culture of ownership within the Company.
The indicative impact of the EmployeeCo Transaction and the ManCo Transaction on the BEE ownership points of Insimbi will, collectively, result in an increase to 11.07 ownership points, based on an 8.78% ownership in Insimbi. 2.

1. The 'Before' column is based on the published unaudited consolidated condensed financial results of Insimbi for the six months ended 31 August 2015, as released on SENS on 29 September 2015. EmployeeCo Transaction
2. The Specific Repurchase will have no financial effect on the statement of comprehensive income following the delisting and cancellation of the Repurchase Shares, since the Repurchase Shares owned by Insimbi Alloy were treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes prior to the Specific Repurchase.
3. The 'EmployeeCo pro forma adjustments' column reflects the pro forma adjustments for the EmployeeCo Transaction based on the following assumptions: 3.1 Operating expenses are adjusted as follows:
R'000
Relates to the estimated transaction costs. These costs are once-off and have been assumed to be non-tax deductible. (723)
The EmployeeCo Transaction will be treated as an equity settled (366) share based payment scheme in terms of IFRS 2: Share based
payments, measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted on the grant date. On an annual basis, an IFRS 2 expense will be recognised over the remaining vesting period (assumed to be eight years for purpose of calculating the pro forma financial effects) with a corresponding increase in the share based payment reserve to be recognised in ordinary shareholders' equity.
The scheme has been valued using option pricing methodologies with the following key inputs: ' Strike price: R 0.83 ' Market price: R1 ' Volatility: 67.9% ' Risk free rate: 8.36% ' Dividend yield: 12.04%
Net effect on cash and cash equivalents (1,089)
3.2 Finance income is reduced by R18 623 due to the reduction in cash balances as a result of settling the assumed transaction costs of R723 235, calculated at an assumed interest rate of 5.15%, being the yearly average money market rate. Tax is adjusted accordingly.
3.3 The calculation of diluted earnings and diluted headline earnings per share at reporting dates is based on the number of shares to be issued for no consideration. This is calculated as the difference between the average market price of the Company shares for the period, less the value of the consideration receivable at the reporting date and the remainder of un-expensed share- based payment charges. Based on the aforementioned principles, there is currently no diluting effect.
3.4 In terms of IFRS, Insimbi controls EmployeeCo and therefore EmployeeCo is consolidated into the Insimbi Group, thereby eliminating any preference dividends. The EmployeeCo Insimbi Subscription Shares held by EmployeeCo are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes. ManCo Transaction
4. The 'ManCo pro forma adjustments' column reflects the pro forma adjustments for the ManCo Transaction based on the following assumptions:
4.1 Operating expenses are adjusted as follows:
R'000
Relates to the estimated transaction costs. These costs are once-off and have been assumed to be non-tax deductible. (547)
The ManCo Transaction will be treated as an equity settled share based payment in terms of IFRS 2: Share based payments, measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted on the grant date. On an annual basis, an IFRS 2 expense will be recognised over the remaining vesting period (assumed to be eight years for purpose of calculating the pro forma financial effects) with a corresponding increase in the share based payment reserve to be recognised in ordinary shareholders' (289) equity.
The scheme has been valued using option pricing methodologies with the following key inputs: ' Strike price: R0.63 & R0.80 ' Market price: R1 ' Volatility: 67.9% ' Risk free rate: 8.36% ' Dividend yield: 12.04%
Net effect on cash and cash equivalents (836)
4.2 Finance income is reduced by R14 079 due to the reduction in cash balances as a result of settling the assumed transaction costs of R546 765, calculated at an assumed interest rate of 5.15%, being the yearly average money market rate. Tax is adjusted accordingly.
4.3 The calculation of diluted earnings and diluted headline earnings per share at reporting dates is based on the number of shares to be issued for no consideration. This is calculated as the difference between the average market price of the Company shares for the period, less the value of the consideration receivable at the reporting date and the remainder of un-expensed share- based payment charges. Based on the aforementioned principles, there is currently no diluting effect.
4.4 In terms of IFRS, Insimbi controls ManCo and therefore ManCo is consolidated into the Insimbi Group, thereby eliminating any preference dividends. The ManCo Insimbi Subscription Shares held by ManCo are treated as treasury shares for accounting purposes.
4.5 All effects are of a recurring nature except where otherwise noted. 5. JSE Listings Requirements
In terms of paragraph 5.69(b) of the JSE Listings Requirements, the Specific Repurchase constitutes a specific repurchase of shares and requires the approval by special resolution of the shareholders of Insimbi and consequently a 75% majority of the votes cast in favour thereof by all shareholders present or represented by proxy at the general meeting.
Furthermore, in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, the EmployeeCo Transaction and the ManCo Transaction constitute a specific issue of shares for cash. The EmployeeCo Insimbi Shares Subscription Price represents a 15% discount to the 30 day VWAP prior to 9 February 2016 and the EmployeeCo Insimbi Subscription Shares and the ManCo Insimbi Acquisition Shares are deemed to be issued to 'non-public' shareholders.
The EmployeeCo Transaction and the ManCo Transaction require the approval of ordinary resolutions achieving a 75% majority of the votes cast in favour thereof by all shareholders present or represented by proxy at the general meeting, excluding EmployeeCo Participants, ManCo Participants and their associates, if any.
