Determination of final purchase price
As shareholders of THL and Barloworld were advised in the announcement of 2 November 2020, the
transaction in which KLL Group Proprietary Limited, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Barloworld, (“KLL Group”)
purchased the Tongaat Hulett starch business (the “Starch Business”) from THL had been implemented.
KLL Group paid an initial cash amount of ZAR4,986,184,000 (four billion, nine hundred and eighty six
million, one hundred and eighty four thousand Rand) (the “Initial Amount”) to THL on 31 October 2020,
being an estimate of the final purchase price based on the financial position of the Starch Business as at
30 September 2020.
The 31 October 2020 closing accounts have now been finalised. Based on the debt and net working capital
levels of the Starch Business as at 31 October 2020, a final purchase price of R5,260,150,000 (five billion,
two hundred and sixty million and one hundred and fifty thousand Rand) has now been determined.
The amount by which the final purchase price exceeds the Initial Amount, being R273,966,000 (two hundred
and seventy-three million, nine hundred and sixty-six thousand Rand), accordingly became payable by KLL
Group. KLL Group has now made payment thereof to THL. An amount of R105,298,000 (one hundred and
five million, two hundred and ninety eight thousand Rand) will be used by THL to further reduce its South
African debt, while the balance will be used to settle transaction costs and any related obligations, such as
the legacy pension obligations.
