POSTING OF CIRCULAR AND SALIENT DATES AND TIMES IN RESPECT OF THE OFFER
Shareholders are referred to the firm intention announcement released on SENS on Thursday, 18 October 2018,
wherein eXtract shareholders were advised that the eXtract board of directors had resolved that, subject to securing the
requisite approval from its shareholders in a general meeting and the JSE approving the Company's delisting
application, it would be in the best interest of the Company to seek a delisting of the Company's shares from the JSE
(the "delisting").
eXtract has, on Thursday, 20 December 2018, issued a circular (the "circular") to its shareholders relating to the
Company's delisting on the JSE, a general offer to eXtract shareholders and the manner in which the offer and
delisting will be implemented.
Copies of the circular are available on the Company's website at www.eXtractgroup.com and may also be obtained
from the offices of eXtract, situated at 61 Maple Street, Pomona, Kempton Park, 1619, during normal office hours
from Thursday, 20 December 2018, up to and including the closing date of the offer.
A general meeting of eXtract shareholders will be held at 10:00 on Monday, 21 January 2019 at the registered offices
of eXtract at 61 Maple Street, Pomona, Kempton Park, 1619, for the purpose of considering and, if deemed fit,
passing, with or without modification, the resolutions required to approve, inter alia, the delisting of the Company
from the JSE.
Terms of the offer
In compliance with the JSE Listings Requirement that the delisting must be accompanied by an offer (that must be
fair) to be made to holders of all the Company's listed securities, Inhlanhla Trust Investments Proprietary Limited
("Inhlanhla" or the "offeror"), an associate of David Brouze, has made a general offer to acquire all eXtract shares
from any shareholder who, post the approval of the delisting, either cannot or does not wish to continue to hold
eXtract shares in an unlisted structure (the "general offer" or "offer") for an offer consideration of R6.00 per eXtract
share.
The offer remains conditional upon:
- the delisting being approved by eXtract shareholders at a general meeting, in terms of the JSE Listings
Requirements;
- to the extent necessary, the securing of any approval required by the Competition Authorities; and
- prior to eXtract shareholders approving the delisting, there should not have arisen or occurred any material
adverse event which could reasonably be expected to be adverse with regard to the operations/continued
existence of the business, assets or liabilities of eXtract which the offeror lawfully relies on and issues
notification to the Company (to be received prior to the delisting resolution being voted on) withdrawing the
offer.
Notwithstanding the conditions precedent set out above, acceptances of the offer will be irrevocable.
Opinions and recommendations of the independent board
The independent board of eXtract, comprising Frank Davidson, Jannie Serfontein, Andrew Hannington and Nelis
Leonard (the "independent board") appointed Mazars Corporate Finance Proprietary Limited ("Mazars") to provide
the independent board with its opinion as to whether the terms of the offer are fair and reasonable to eXtract
shareholders, in accordance with the requirements of Chapter 5 of the regulations promulgated in terms of the
Companies Act (the "Takeover Regulations") and the JSE Listings Requirements.
Mazars has delivered to the independent board its opinion that, as at the date of issue of its opinion, the offer is fair
and reasonable to eXtract shareholders.
The independent board, having considered the terms of the offer and, inter alia, the opinion of Mazars, is of the view
that the offer is fair and reasonable.
