SPECIFIC ISSUE OF SHARES FOR CASH TO RELATED PARTIES Introduction
Shareholders are advised that the Company has entered into agreements with certain directors, the company secretary and the designated advisor ('related parties') in terms of which the Company will, subject to certain conditions precedent, including shareholder approval, issue up to 12 036 212 shares for cash in settlement of certain of its obligations to such related parties ('the Capitalisation Shares'). The Capitalisation Shares, which represent approximately 5.59% of the Company's current issued share capital, will be issued at an issue price of R0.15 per share, being a premium to the 30-day weighted average share price of the Company as at 26 February 2016. Rationale for the proposed specific issue
The related parties to the Company have supported the Company in order to enable the Company to prioritise payments to SARS, certain suppliers and funding for working capital as opposed to allocating cash flow to the related parties.
The liabilities due to the related parties have been accrued in Visual's books and the Company has proposed that these liabilities be settled via a specific issue of shares for cash to those parties who wish to accept same. The related parties have elected to accept such shares in the Company in elimination of a portion of the amounts owed to them (the 'Capitalisation issue'). The proposed extinguishing of the respective liabilities are not part of a share incentive scheme and do not render the independent non- executive directors' non-independent.
The Capitalisation Issue and resultant extinguishing of the liabilities will strengthen the financial position of the Company and demonstrates the commitment of the related parties, including the board, to the turnaround of the Visual group. Details of the proposed Capitalisation Issue
