ADDITIONAL INFORMATION WITH REGARDS TO THE REPLACEMENT BEE TRANSACTION
Shareholders raised certain concerns regarding the Replacement BEE Transaction in discussion with
Exxaro, specifically with regards to the ultimate control of K2016475450 (South Africa) Proprietary
Limited (“BEE SPV”). They also queried the timing of both the introduction of an employee and
community scheme, as well as the listing of K2016473215 (South Africa) Proprietary Limited
(“NewBEECo”) on an exchange restricting trading to HDSA parties.
As an outcome of its discussions with key stakeholders, Exxaro has made certain undertakings, in
conjunction with the relevant empowerment stakeholders, which it wishes to communicate to
shareholders.
Dynamo Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited will be unbundled and Eyesizwe Holdings Proprietary
Limited (“Eyesizwe Holdings”) will be restructured, such that no single shareholder would control
Eyesizwe Holdings. This is in accordance with the terms of the existing transaction agreements, as
transfers between participants are permitted, with Exxaro’s consent.
In addition, sufficient shares in Eyesizwe Mining Proprietary Limited (“Eyesizwe Mining”) will be
transferred from Eyesizwe Holdings to the National Movement of Rural Women NPC, such that
Eyesizwe Holdings would reduce to a 49.8% shareholding in Dreamvision Investments 15 Proprietary
Limited (“Dreamvision”). The result of this transfer would be twofold. Firstly, Eyesizwe Holdings would
lose control over Dreamvision, and secondly, it would increase the broad-based nature of the structure.
As a transfer between participants, this is also permitted by the existing transaction agreements.
Exxaro also wishes to address the concerns relating to the broad-based nature of the proposed
empowerment structure, and that no new participants are entering the structure. Exxaro has already
noted in the Circular to shareholders dated 23 October 2017 (“Circular”), that a portion of its equity
holding into NewBEECo is intended for the empowerment of communities and employees. In addition
to the positive effect on broad-based holdings as a result of the structural changes set out above, and in
order to introduce new participants into the structure, Exxaro has undertaken to:
- finalise an appropriate structure and have executed all transaction agreements by 30 June 2018,
in order to transfer no less than 10% of its equity holding in NewBEECo for the empowerment of
relevant employees and communities; and
- in consultation with the IDC and PIC, by no later than 30 November 2018, to pursue in good faith
the possibility of listing the shares of NewBEECo on a stock exchange which restricts trading to
HDSA parties.
The additional undertakings given by Exxaro relate to committing to timelines to implement certain
steps, which were already contemplated in the transaction agreements and as communicated in the
Circular.
