UPDATE ON FOREX CONVERSION OF CASH PAYMENT ARISING FROM THE DEMERGER
1. INTRODUCTION
Altron shareholders (“Shareholders”) are referred to the cash payment announcement released on SENS
on 2 December 2020 wherein Altron advised Shareholders that any GBP cash payment arising from the
Demerger would be converted into ZAR with reference to the GBP/ZAR exchange rate on 21 December
2020. The Altron board of directors wishes to update Shareholders that , in order to minimise currency
market volatility risks, all GBP proceeds due to Shareholders as a result of the Demerger will now be
converted over a 3-day period between 17 December 2020 – 21 December 2020 with reference to the
GBP/ZAR exchange rate on those days. The applicable GBP/ZAR exchange rate will be an average of the
rates obtained during that 3-day period.
Capitalised terms not defined in this announcement shall have the meanings given to them in the Circular.
