NOTE 2: Under the UK Takeover Code, Mediclinic’s major shareholder, Remgro Limited
(“Remgro”), is presumed to be acting in concert with a number of entities in which it has a
direct interest of 20 per cent. or more and/or other entities in which such investee companies
(or their investee companies) have an interest of 20 per cent. or more. Some of these entities
deal in listed securities during the ordinary course of their businesses. Neither Mediclinic nor
Remgro is able to control or influence such dealing activities. In order to ascertain the
interests of the investee companies described above, Remgro has contacted, on Mediclinic’s
behalf, those companies which are its direct investee companies and requested information in
respect of any relevant interests or arrangements they may have in relation to Mediclinic
securities. Remgro has also requested that such companies contact their own relevant
investee companies (and so on down the chain) to request the same. The information in this
disclosure is provided on the basis of the responses received in response to such requests.
The information has been collected from the various entities over the two weeks since the
start of the offer period and may not, therefore, be accurate as at the date of this
announcement – if Mediclinic becomes aware that the information was not accurate as at 3
November 2017, subject to discussion with the Takeover Panel, it may be required to update
the information in this announcement. Neither Mediclinic nor Remgro is in a position to verify
the accuracy of those responses or require such companies to provide the relevant
information.
NOTE 3: FirstRand Bank Limited holds a GBP 50m position in the exchangeable bonds
issued by Remgro described in Note 1 which, in certain circumstances, are exchangeable for
Mediclinic shares. As described in Note 1, such underlying shares are included in the
Remgro holdings disclosed in section 3(c) of this announcement. Further, FirstRand Bank
has entered into an asset swap contract, with the same maturity as the bonds, which has the
economic effect of selling off the equity component of FirstRand Bank’s holding of the
exchangeable bonds so that FirstRand Bank’s net position to the underlying Mediclinic shares
is zero.
NOTE 4: Truffle Asset Management (Pty) Ltd’s holding includes rights under contracts for
difference over 111,071 shares and Maru Asset Managers (Pty) Ltd’s holding includes rights
under contracts for difference over 12 shares. Mediclinic is not aware of the terms of such
contracts.
4. OTHER INFORMATION
(a) Indemnity and other dealing arrangements
Details of any indemnity or option arrangement, or any agreement or understanding,
formal or informal, relating to relevant securities which may be an inducement to deal
or refrain from dealing entered into by the party to the offer making the disclosure or
any person acting in concert with it:
Irrevocable commitments and letters of intent should not be included. If there are no such
agreements, arrangements or understandings, state “none”
