PRE-LISTING CAPITAL RAISE: RESULTS OF OFFER TO QUALIFYING INVESTORS TO SUBSCRIBE FOR AND/OR PURCHASE
WEBUYCARS SHARES
Unless defined in the body of this announcement ("Announcement"), capitalised terms used in this Announcement
(including headings) shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Definitions section included in the
announcement published on 18 March 2024 ("Launch Announcement").
RESULTS OF CAPITAL RAISE
Shareholders are referred to the Circular, the WeBuyCars pre-listing statement dated 12 March 2024 ("Pre-listing
Statement") and the Launch Announcement regarding the capital raise to be conducted by way of an accelerated
bookbuild, at the book closing price, subject to certain conditions as set out therein ("Capital Raise").
The bookbuild process in relation to the Capital Raise closed on Tuesday, 19 March 2024.
The Company advises that Transaction Capital and WeBuyCars have successfully raised an aggregate amount of
R902.7 million, by way of:
(i) the issue of 40 million authorised WBC Shares; and
(ii) the disposal by Transaction Capital of 8.145 million WBC Shares,
at a price of R18.75 per WBC Share ("Placement Price").
The Placing Shares will, upon their issue and/or sale, represent approximately 11.5% of the total issued WBC Shares
immediately after Listing. The bookbuild was oversubscribed, but the parties elected not to accept all bids.
The issue and/or sale of the Placing Shares will be subject to the fulfilment of the suspensive condition that the Listing
Date occurs no later than Tuesday, 16 April 2024. Accordingly, all risk and benefit attaching to the Placing Shares will
be transferred to successful Qualifying Investors on and with effect from the Listing Date. Computershare will hold
the consideration in escrow for and on behalf of successful Qualifying Investors pending the Listing Date. For the
avoidance of doubt, in the unlikely event that the Placing Shares are not listed on the Main Board of the JSE by
Tuesday, 16 April 2024, the consideration will be refunded to the successful Qualifying Investors in full by no later
than Thursday, 18 April 2024.
The Listing Date is expected to be Thursday, 11 April 2024. JSE admission of the WBC Shares on the Main Board of
the JSE is expected to become effective at 9:00 a.m. on the Listing Date or such later date as the Company may agree
being no later than 9:00 a.m. on Tuesday, 16 April 2024.
Based on a total of 417.2 million WBC Shares in issue as at the Listing Date, the Placement Price implies a total market
capitalisation of R7.82 billion for WeBuyCars.
RELATED PARTY PARTICIPATION
Coronation Asset Management Proprietary Limited has subscribed for 9.12 million WBC Shares at an aggregate value
of R171 million, at the book closing price, on the basis set out in 5.52(f) of the JSE Listings Requirements. The current
shareholders of WeBuyCars specifically authorised the issue of WBC Shares to related parties, in terms of the Capital
Raise approvals.
