POSTING OF CIRCULAR RELATING TO SCRIP DISTRIBUTION OR CASH
DIVIDEND ELECTION
Shareholders are referred to the Company’s audited financial
results for the year ended 31 December 2016, published on the
Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) on 2 March 2016, in which
they were advised that Mpact’s board of directors had resolved to
declare a final distribution of fully-paid Mpact ordinary shares
of no par value (“the Scrip Distribution”) to ordinary
Shareholders (“Shareholders”) recorded in the register of the
Company at the close of business on the Record Date, being Friday,
31 March 2017.
Shareholders will, however, be entitled to elect to receive a cash
dividend of 65 cents per ordinary share of no par value held on
the Record Date, being Friday, 31 March 2017, in respect of all or
part of their ordinary shareholding, instead of the Scrip
Distribution (“the Cash Dividend”).
The Cash Dividend will be paid only to those:
- certificated Shareholders whose Forms of Election to
receive the Cash Dividend, in respect of all or part of
their shareholding, are received by the Transfer
Secretaries on or before 12h00 on Friday, 31 March 2017;
and
- dematerialised Shareholders who have instructed their
CSDP or broker accordingly and in the manner and time
stipulated in their agreement with such CSDP or broker.
The number of Scrip Distribution shares to which each of the
Shareholders will become entitled pursuant to the Scrip
Distribution (to the extent that such Shareholders have not
elected to receive the Cash Dividend) will be determined by
reference to such Shareholder’s ordinary shareholding in Mpact (at
the close of business on the Record Date, being Friday, 31 March
2017) in relation to the ratio that 65 cents bears to the volume
weighted average price of an ordinary Mpact share traded on the
JSE during the 30-day trading period ending on Friday, 10 March
2017.
Shareholders are advised that a circular, setting out, inter alia,
the terms of the Scrip Distribution and Cash Dividend (and
including a Form of Election) will be posted to Shareholders
today, Wednesday, 8 March 2017 (“the Circular”). The Circular is
also available on the Company’s website, www.mpact.co.za.
