VOLUNTARY ANNOUNCEMENT - SABCAP GENERAL REPURCHASE OF SHARES
1. INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are referred to the voluntary announcement released on 25 November 2021
summarising the Sabcap general repurchase of shares made in accordance with the general authority
granted by shareholders at the Company's general meeting held 24 May 2021. Under that general
authority, through to its expiration at the Annual General Meeting ("AGM") on 30 May 2022, Sabcap,
through its wholly owned subsidiary Sabvest Finance and Guarantee Corporation (Pty) Limited
("SFGC"), repurchased 901 000 Sabcap ordinary shares, of which 830 000 Sabcap ordinary shares were
cancelled in November 2021, with the remaining 71 000 Sabcap ordinary shares held in treasury.
Sabcap, through SFGC, repurchased a further 84 000 Sabcap ordinary shares under the general
authority granted by shareholders on 30 May 2022 through to its expiration at the AGM on 18 May
2023 and a further 175 000 Sabcap ordinary shares under the new general authority granted by
shareholders on 18 May 2023.
The total Sabcap ordinary shares were repurchased to date under the above general authorities, that
are currently held as treasury shares, is 330 000.
Shareholders are advised that the Company acquired 330 000 Sabcap ordinary shares from SFGC on
22 November 2023 for a total consideration of R22,4 million. Following the repurchase transaction,
the Company applied to the JSE Limited for the delisting of the 330 000 Sabcap ordinary shares.
The repurchased shares were cancelled on 5 December 2023 and reverted to authorised but unissued
shares of the Company in accordance with section 35(5) of the Companies Act.
The largest number of shares in issue by Sabvest Limited ("Sabvest") was 52 327 962. Following this
cancellation, there are now 39 220 000 Sabcap ordinary shares in issue, a reduction of 25,0% due to
repurchases and cancellations by Sabvest and Sabcap over the years.
