("Collins" or "the Company")
INCREASE IN AUTHORISED SHARE CAPITAL, AMENDMENTS TO THE MOI AND CIRCULAR TO
SHAREHOLDERS
1. Introduction
Shareholders are advised that the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) proposes, subject to shareholders’
approval, an increase in the authorised share capital of the Company and certain amendments to the memorandum of
incorporation (“MOI”).
2. Rationale for the increase in authorised share capital and amendments to the MOI
2.1. On 21 August 2023, shareholders were advised that the Company entered into a series of inter-conditional
agreements with U Reit Collins Proprietary Limited (“UReit”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Castleview Property
Fund Limited, in terms of which, if implemented, Collins will acquire from UReit the 25.7% of the issued shares of
Collins Property Projects Proprietary Limited (“CPP”) that it does not own in exchange for the issue to UReit of in
aggregate 72,751,197 new Collins ordinary shares (“the Proposed Transaction”), resulting in CPP becoming a
wholly-owned subsidiary of Collins and UReit holding 21.78% of the issued ordinary shares of Collins.
2.2. The Board proposes an increase in the number of the Company’s authorised shares to enable the Company to
implement the Proposed Transaction and to provide the Company with greater flexibility to raise new equity capital,
at an appropriate time.
3. Details of the increase in authorised share capital and amendments to the MOI
3.1. The Board proposes an increase in the number of the Company’s authorised ordinary shares (“Shares”) from
310,000,000 Shares to 600,000,000 Shares and an increase in the number of the Company’s non-convertible,
non-participating, non-transferable redeemable preference shares (“N Shares”) from 131,750,000 to 250,000,000
N Shares.
3.2. In order to give effect to the increase in the number of authorised shares, it will be necessary for shareholders to
approve the corresponding amendment to the MOI giving effect to such increase. The Company will remain listed
in the “Real Estate Investment and Services” sub-sector of the main board of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) until such
time as it has been granted REIT status by the JSE.
3.3. One of the conditions precedent to the Proposed Transaction is that Collins’ MOI be amended to include a provision
to the effect that Collins will not voluntarily relinquish REIT status without first obtaining shareholder approval by
way of an ordinary resolution.
3.4. In order to give effect to the above, it will be necessary for shareholders to approve a corresponding amendment
to the MOI.
4. Distribution of circular
4.1. The Board has resolved that the resolutions relating to the increase in authorised share capital and amendments
to the MOI be approved by shareholders by written consent, in terms of section 60 of the Companies Act, No 71
of 2008. As such, shareholders are entitled to exercise their voting rights in relation to the resolutions within 20
business days after the resolutions have been dispatched to them.
4.2. A circular providing shareholders with relevant information relating to the increase in authorised share capital and
amendments to the MOI, together with the written resolutions to be proposed to effect the increase in authorised
share capital and amendments to the MOI (the "Resolutions") and a form of written consent (the “Circular”) has
been distributed to shareholders today.
4.3. Copies of the Circular may be obtained from the registered office of the Company during office hours on business
days from 21 September 2023, at the address set out in the “Corporate Information” section of the Circular. A copy
of the Circular will also be available on Collins’ website http://www.tradehold.co.za/investor-centre/circulars/2023.
