SUCCESSFUL CONCLUSION OF THE DISPOSAL OF SCHIRM U.S.A., INC.
Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalised words and terms contained in this announcement shall bear the same
meanings ascribed thereto in the announcement published on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE Limited
on Thursday, 17 July 2025 relating to the disposal of, inter alia, substantially all of the assets and certain specified
liabilities of Schirm U.S.A. Inc., ("Announcement").
Shareholders and noteholders are hereby advised that all of the conditions precedent for the implementation of the
Disposal have been timeously fulfilled or waived. Accordingly, the Disposal has become wholly unconditional and was
successfully implemented on Thursday, 28 August 2025, in accordance with the terms set out in the Announcement.
An amount of US$40 million pertaining to the Disposal Consideration has been transferred to AECI and will be utilised
in line with AECI's capital allocation framework.
The Disposal is aligned with AECI's strategy of optimising its portfolio and creating a platform for growth. The Company
is focusing on its core businesses, namely AECI Mining and AECI Chemicals, while divesting from managed
businesses that offer limited synergies with the chosen core businesses. This strategic shift aims to streamline
operations, enhance efficiency and leverage in-house expertise by concentrating efforts on areas where AECI has a
competitive advantage and strong market potential.
The board of directors of AECI would like to express its sincere gratitude to the management and staff of Schirm USA
for their dedication and support throughout the years and looks forward to learning of its future success.
