UPDATE ON MESSINA LIQUIDATION
Shareholders are referred to the previous cautionary announcements released by ZCI in connection with the
liquidation of Messina Copper (Botswana) Proprietary Limited (in Liquidation) (“Messina” or “MCB”).
Capitalised terms defined in previous announcements have the same meaning when used herein.
Shareholders are reminded that on 16 December 2016 it was resolved that the Messina Liquidator be
authorised to accept an Amended Offer from Leboam Holdings Proprietary Limited (“Leboam”) in respect of
the disposal of the assets of Messina dependent on certain suspensive conditions being satisfied (the
“Transaction”).
Shareholders are advised that on 18 January 2017 the parties to the Transaction agreed to amend certain of
the terms relating to the consideration contemplated in the Amended Offer whereby upon the admission of
the ordinary shares of Cradle Arc plc (“Cradle Arc”) to trading on AIM (“Admission”), ZCI will receive a
US$9.9 million secured loan payable by Leboam over 33 months (which includes a 9 month capital
repayment holiday) carrying interest at 13.5%; ordinary shares in Leboam representing 40% of the share
capital of Leboam; and a US$21 million unsecured shareholder loan recorded in the books of account of
Leboam in favour of ZCI. It is currently expected that Admission will become effective and that trading of
Cradle Arc’s ordinary share capital will commence on AIM at 08h00 (GMT) on 24 January 2018 (for further

The Company will provide updates to stakeholders as and when further information in relation to the above
matters, including the full financial impact thereof, is available.
