(Huge or the Company)
DEALINGS IN SECURITIES BY A DIRECTOR OF A MAJOR SUBSIDIARY AND
ASSOCIATES OF DIRECTORS OF A MAJOR SUBSIDIARY
In March 2017, Huge acquired 100% of the shares in ConnectNet
Broadband Wireless Proprietary Limited (subsequently re-named “Huge
Connect”) (the Acquisition). Huge Connect is a major subsidiary of Huge
in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (Listings
Requirements).
Pursuant to the Acquisition, the existing shareholders of Huge Connect
(the Vendors) provided Huge with a profit warranty (the Profit Warranty)
in favour of Huge in respect of the 2018, 2019 and 2020 financial years.
The Vendors were of the opinion that it was important to provide certain
directors and employees of, and consultants to, the Huge Connect
group with incentives that would assist the Vendors in their efforts to
achieve the Profit Warranty. As such, and concurrently with the
Acquisition, the Vendors established The ConnectNet Incentive Scheme
(the Scheme) and donated Huge shares to the ConnectNet Incentive
Trust (the Trust) to be held for the benefit of certain identified share
beneficiaries (the Share Beneficiaries).
A significant portion of the Huge shares held by the Trust will be allocated
to Share Beneficiaries on a pre-determined basis on pre-determined
dates (each an Allocation Date). As soon as reasonably possible after
each Allocation Date, the Share Beneficiaries have the option of
acquiring a vested right to the Huge shares allocated to them for no
consideration. On acceptance by the Share Beneficiary of such
allocation, the Huge shares will vest in the Share Beneficiary concerned.
All of the trustees of the Trust are directors of Huge Connect, a major
subsidiary of the Group, and in terms of the Listings Requirements, the
Trust is an associate of these directors. Accordingly, as and when Huge
shares vest in Share Beneficiaries, this will constitute a disposal of Huge
shares by an associate of directors of a major subsidiary.
Furthermore, as and when Huge shares vest in a director and/or
associate of a director of Huge Connect in terms of the Scheme, this
shall constitute an acquisition of Huge shares by a director of a major
subsidiary.
Shareholders are therefore advised that, in terms of the Scheme, 131 226
Huge shares have now been allocated to, and vested in, Share
Beneficiaries.
Accordingly, in compliance with paragraph 3.63 of the Listings
Requirements, the following dealings by directors of a major subsidiary
and/or their associates, are disclosed:

Following the publication of the Renewal of the Cautionary
Announcement published on SENS on Monday, 6 August 2018, the
Company is in a closed period. Accordingly, an application for
dispensation was made to the JSE in respect of the allocations due in
terms of the Scheme. In terms of paragraph 3.70 of the Listings
Requirements, the JSE has granted such waiver to the Trust to offer, and
the above-mentioned directors (and/or their associates) to accept, the
allocations, notwithstanding that the Company is in a closed period,
having regard to the fact that the allocation dates are predetermined
and accordingly the Trust and the beneficiaries concerned, have no
