Declaration Announcement in Respect of the Global Asset Management Limited Renounceable Rights Offer
GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number: 2002/003192/06)
Share Code: GAM ISIN: ZAE000173498
("Global" or “the Company”)
DECLARATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE GLOBAL ASSET MANAGEMENT LIMITED
RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS OFFER
Shareholders are referred to the announcement published on 3 May 2018 wherein it was
announced that the Company had decided to raise R67 235 340 by way of a renounceable
rights offer (“Rights Offer”) in order to fund the expansion of its waste energy business,
particularly its plastic waste to energy business. In terms of the Rights Offer, Global will offer a
total of 36 740 623 authorised but unissued ordinary shares of no par value (“Rights Offer
Shares”) at a subscription price of R1.83 per rights offer share in the ration of 50 Rights Offer
Shares for every 100 ordinary shares.
The aforementioned Rights Offer Share price represents a premium to the prevailing 30-day
volume weighted average price of the ordinary shares as at 3 May 2018. The Rights Offer
price is at a substantial discount to the net asset value and tangible net asset value of 264.1
cents per share and 211.9 cents per share respectively.
The allocation of Rights Offer Shares will be that Global shareholders will not be allocated a
fraction of a Rights Offer Share and as such any entitlement to a fraction of a Right which:
- is less than one-half of a Rights Offer Share, will be rounded down to the nearest
whole number; or
- is equal to or greater than one-half of a Rights Offer Share but less than a whole
Rights Offer Share will be rounded up to the nearest whole number.
The Rights Offer Shares shall rank pari passu with the existing issued ordinary shares of Global.
A circular to shareholders, in respect of the Rights Offer, together with a form of instruction in
respect of a renounceable (nil paid) letter of allocation, will be published on Friday, 8 June
2018 on Global’s website (www.global-ltd.co.za).
The Rights Offer will not be underwritten.
Rationale for the Rights Offer
Global has continued with its efforts to build up its renewable energy businesses, namely
Plastics Green Energy Proprietary Limited (“PGE”) and Enviroprotek Proprietary Limited
(“EPT”). Whereas good progress has been made on both businesses, during the final
engineering design of the first commercial plastics recycling plant, it became evident that
PGE would require additional capex to achieve its efficiency and return targets. EPT requires
additional capex for oil and carbon product improvements, to pave the way for the next
growth phase of the business.
To facilitate these critical steps in the business development for both PGE and EPT,
management is proposing a rights issue for ordinary Global shares, to have sufficient equity
funding available for both businesses.
Foreign jurisdictions
The Rights Offer does not constitute an offer in any jurisdiction in which it is illegal to make
such an offer and the circular and form of instruction should not be forwarded or transmitted
in any territory other than where it is lawful to make such an offer.
