FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE GENERAL OFFER AND DELISTING
Capitalised terms used but not defined in this announcement, shall have the same meanings ascribed
to them in the Circular (as defined below) which was distributed to shareholders and made available
on the Company’s website www.mazor.co.za on Friday, 4 December 2020.
1. Introduction and fulfilment of general offer conditions
Shareholders of Mazor (“Mazor Shareholders”) are referred to the circular issued by Mazor on
Friday, 4 December 2020 (“Circular”) regarding:
• a Scheme of Arrangement in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act, proposed by the
Board between the Company and its Shareholders, in terms of which, if implemented, each
Scheme Participant shall be entitled to elect to have its Scheme Shares repurchased by the
Company for a cash consideration of R0.25 per Share so repurchased, in accordance with the
provisions of section 48 of the Companies Act, or to retain its shareholding in Mazor, provided
that each Scheme Participant who fails to validly make such election will be deemed to have
elected the Repurchase Option;
• separate to but concurrently with the Scheme, a conditional general offer in terms of section
117(1)(c)(v) of the Companies Act (which general offer also constitutes an "offer" as
contemplated in paragraph 1.15(c) of the JSE Listings Requirements), by the General Offeror,
to acquire all of the General Offer Shares held by the General Offerees for a cash
consideration of R0.25 per General Offer Share so acquired, with such General Offer to be
implemented only in the event that the Scheme fails and the other General Offer Conditions
are fulfilled; and
• the Delisting of all Mazor Shares from the JSE in terms of paragraph 1.14 of the JSE Listings
Requirements pursuant to the provisions of paragraphs 1.15 and 1.16 of the JSE Listings
Requirements having been complied with, including the Delisting Resolution being approved,
and the Scheme or the General Offer, as the case may be, having been implemented.
2. Fulfilment of General Offer conditions
Mazor Shareholders are further referred to the results of General Meeting announcement published
on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) of the JSE on Thursday, 7 January 2021, wherein the
Mazor Board advised that Ordinary Resolution Number 1 (as set out in the Notice of General
Meeting), being the resolution to approve the proposed Delisting of the Mazor Shares from the JSE,
was duly approved by the requisite majority of Shareholders at the General Meeting.
The Takeover Regulation Panel has issued a compliance certificate in respect of the General Offer in
terms of section 121(b)(i) of the Companies Act and accordingly all conditions precedent to the
General Offer have now been fulfilled.
Consequently, the General Offer has become unconditional with effect from 11 January 2021 and
shall be implemented in accordance with its terms.
3. Salient dates and times
The delisting of the Mazor Shares from the Main Board of the securities exchange operated by the
JSE will occur on Tuesday, 2 February 2021.
