UPDATE ON ENCHA PAYMENT
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 22 November 2019
wherein the Company provided an update on Encha Group Limited’s (“Encha”) indebtedness
to the Company (collectively “the Parties”) pursuant to an arbitration appeal award of R75.0
million plus interest and costs (“Judgement Debt”). The Company obtained a court order on
27 July 2020 to make the arbitration appeal award an order of the court.
The Board, together with its advisors, evaluated the financial performance and position of
Encha, took into account the current macro-economic realities and considered various
alternative legal mechanisms to recover the Judgement Debt which remains outstanding,
following which the Board concluded it would be in the best interest of all its stakeholders to
reach a compromise with Encha. The Parties have therefore agreed on an amount of R85.75
million, which will be settled over a four year period. Under the terms of the compromise R5
million was paid and R750,000 relating to taxed costs will become due in 30 days. Thereafter,
R20 million becomes due and payable on 30 June each year over a four year period.
Efora has reserved its rights to recover the full Judgement Debt in the event that Encha fails
to pay any amounts under the compromise as they become due and payable.
Encha will be required to ensure that its auditors provide an audit certificate to Efora reflecting
its net asset value by 30 April of each year, whilst any portion of the R85.75 million remains
outstanding.
