In terms of the Announcement, Security Holders were advised, inter alia, that the relevant resolutions relating to the approval of the MOI Amendments had not been carried for the Class A, B, C and E preference shareholders, due to, inter alia, the conditionality associated with that special resolution in relation to the receipt of notices under Section 164 of the Companies Act, 2008 and that these classes of preference shares would accordingly be converted to ordinary shares (“Default Conversion”). Additional information on Default Conversion Security Holders are further advised that the conversion rate applicable to Class A, B, C and E preference shares will be as set out below: Class ISIN Conversion ratio – number of ordinary shares for 1 (one) preference share Class A All ISIN numbers 2769.16735 Class B ZAE000202503 4671.61308 ZAE000210498 4350.37098 ZAE000214441 4203.62737 ZAE000221362 4059.63177 ZAE000229878 3940.91783 ZAE000241717 3777.13658 ZAE000246112 3674.36109 ZAE000250049 3545.20473 ZAE000255675 3396.81231 ZAE000258844 3301.45644 ZAE000263257 3182.74251 ZAE000268371 3080.79143 ZAE000273157 2969.77192 ZAE000280939 2816.70789 Class C All ISIN numbers 2776.86178 Class E All ISIN numbers 2771.09096 The above conversion rate is driven by the weighted average closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares, calculated over the last twenty days of trading on the JSE prior to the first day of default, with the first day of default being 9 March 2020. In the event that the Default Conversion gives rise to a fraction of an ordinary share becoming due to a preference shareholder, fractional entitlements will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole number in compliance with the JSE’s rounding convention, and in accordance with the terms of the Company’s Memorandum of Incorporation. Correction to timetable applicable to the Default Conversion of Class E preference shares In accordance with the current terms of the Class A, B, C and E preference shares, these preference shares will convert 3 (three) months after: • default by the Company on repayment of the redemption price on the redemption date; or • non-payment of 3 (three) consecutive dividends on class A, C and E preference shares of the Company. Due to the fact that the Class E preference shares do not have any redemption amounts outstanding (as is the case with the Class A, B and C preference shares), Class E preference shares will only convert 3 months following the non-payment of 3 (three) consecutive dividends, being 11 August 2020. Accordingly, the timetable set out in the Announcement relating to the Default Conversion will not apply to the Class E preference shares and the Class E preference shares will convert in accordance with the below timetable: 2020 Last day to trade prior to the Default Conversion becoming effective Tuesday, 4 August Suspension in trading in the current Class E preference shares Wednesday, 5 August Commencement of trading in the New Ordinary Shares Wednesday, 5 August Record date for the Default Conversion (“Record Date”) Friday, 7 August Accounts of current dematerialised Class E preference shareholders with their CSDPs or Tuesday, 11 August Brokers will be updated, as applicable, with the New Ordinary Shares Share certificates relative to the New Ordinary Shares issued pursuant to the Default Tuesday, 11 August Conversion to relevant certificated Class E preference shareholders, posted by registered post, at their risk Current Class E preference shares removed from the JSE List at commencement of trade Wednesday, 12 August Note to timetable: 1. Class E preference shareholders may not dematerialise or rematerialise their preference shares between Tuesday, 4 August 2020 and Friday, 7 August 2020, both dates inclusive.
