POSTING OF SCHEME CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETINGS
1. INTRODUCTION
Altron Shareholders are referred to the detailed cautionary and withdrawal of cautionary
announcements released on the Stock Exchange News Services (“SENS”) on 6 December 2016 and 3
February 2017 respectively regarding the agreement between the Company and Value Capital Partners
(Pty) Ltd (“VCP”) regarding, inter alia, the:
a) collapse of the Company’s historical dual share capital structure and the removal of the Venter
Family’s absolute voting control over the Company;
b) the repurchase by the Company of all of the issued N class shares in consideration for the issue
of 9 A class ordinary shares for each 10 N class shares;
c) subscription by the Venter Family for a new high voting share which will entitle the Venter Family
to exercise 25.0% plus one vote at any shareholders' meeting for as long as the Venter Family
owns, directly or indirectly, in excess of 10.0% of the A class shares in the Company;
d) introduction of VCP as a new strategic partner, which is expected to be a catalyst in driving
shareholder value creation by accelerating the Company’s growth initiatives within its core IT
operations; and
e) appointment of VCP’s co-founders, Antony Ball and Samuel Sithole, to the board of directors
of Altron as non-executive directors.
