THE PIVOTAL FUND LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2005/030215/06)
JSE share code: PIV ISIN: ZAE000196440
(“Pivotal” or “the company”)
ACQUISITION BY SETSO HOLDCO PROPRIETARY LIMITED OF SHARES IN SETSO PROPERTY FUND
INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE
Pivotal shareholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Services (“SENS”) of
the JSE Limited (“JSE”) on 30 August 2016 relating to the proposed acquisition by Redefine Properties Limited
(“Redefine”) of the entire issued share capital of Pivotal by way of a scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114 of
the Companies Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended (“Companies Act”), to be proposed by the board of directors of
Pivotal between Pivotal and the Pivotal shareholders (“scheme”) and the posting of the circular incorporating the
notice of the general meeting announcement (“the circular”) released on SENS on 31 October 2016.
Pivotal had previously resolved to implement a broad-based black economic empowerment (“B-BBEE”) transaction in
respect of the properties described in the property portfolio details below (“the Setso portfolio”), with a view to
facilitating the establishment of a substantial B-BBEE-owned property fund (“the Setso B-BBEE transaction”).
Consequently, it was agreed with Redefine that the conclusion of the Setso B-BBEE transaction would be a condition
precedent to the scheme.
Pivotal shareholders are advised that Pivotal has concluded a transaction with Setso Holdco Proprietary Limited
(“Setso Holdco”) in terms of which Setso Holdco has acquired 100% of the issued share capital of Setso Property
Fund Proprietary Limited (“Setso”), a subsidiary of Pivotal (“the Setso transaction”).
ARC REAL ESTATE
Setso Holdco is being acquired by African Rainbow Capital Proprietary Limited and Signature Investment Holdings
Proprietary Limited whom have recently entered into a joint venture, ARC Real Estate, with a specific investment
mandate relating to empowerment linked property transactions.
SALIENT TERMS OF THE SETSO TRANSACTION
In terms of the Setso transaction, Setso Holdco has acquired 100% of Setso’s issued share capital with effect from
1 December 2016 (the “effective date”).
Setso Holdco has secured capital of approximately R1.207 billion (“Setso capital”), which includes R410 million of
long-term debt funding from Pivotal (“Pivotal loan”). Setso Holdco will utilise the Setso capital to capitalise Setso
through a combination of subscribing for new equity in Setso as well as advancing debt funding to Setso. Setso will
utilise the Setso capital to discharge its obligations to Pivotal and Pivotal group entities of approximately R1.207 billion
in cash. The cash proceeds of R1.207 billion received by Pivotal will be used to advance the Pivotal loan and the
balance, being approximately R797 million, will be used by Pivotal to pay down existing debt facilities.
The Setso transaction remains conditional upon the conclusion of administrative arrangements and procedural
statutory requirements necessary to give effect to the Setso transaction.
The Setso transaction includes warranties, undertakings and indemnities which are normal for an acquisition of this
nature.
