Odd-lot Offer and Notice of Extraordinary General Meeting
RMB Holdings Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number: 1987/005115/06)
Share code: RMH
ISIN: ZAE000024501
(“RMH” or the “Company”)
ODD-LOT OFFER AND NOTICE OF EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION AND RATIONALE
1.1. As at 18 September 2026, RMH had approximately 40,554 ordinary shareholders (“Odd-lot Holders”)
each holding 458 or fewer RMH ordinary shares of R0.01 each (“RMH Shares”). At that date, these
Odd-lot Holders held a total of 3,057,020 RMH Shares, representing approximately 0.22% of the
total issued share capital of the Company. To reduce the administrative time and costs associated
with this large number of Odd-lot Holders, the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”)
proposes the implementation of an odd-lot offer (“Odd-lot Offer”) to facilitate the reduction in
these Odd-lot Holders in a fair manner which, should the Odd-lot Holders elect or fail to make an
election, will result in the repurchase by the Company of the Odd-lot Holdings from the Odd-lot
Holders at an offer price of 59.13 cents per RMH Share, being the volume weighted average traded
price of an RMH Share on the JSE over the thirty trading days immediately prior to 18 September
2026, plus a premium of 10% (“Offer Price”).
1.2. The Odd-lot Offer will provide Odd-lot Holders with the ability to dispose of their Odd-lot
holdings (“Odd-lot Holdings”) on a cost-efficient basis and will provide liquidity for those Odd-
lot Holders who elect to sell their Odd-lot Holdings or who make no election. For RMH it will,
inter alia, reduce the ongoing administration costs associated with a significantly larger
shareholder base, including a sizeable number of Odd-lot Holders.
2. KEY TERMS OF THE ODD-LOT OFFER
2.1. Odd-lot Offer mechanics
2.1.1. Following receipt of shareholder approval at the extraordinary general meeting to be held
on Monday, 26 October 2026 (“EGM”), the Odd-lot Offer will open and, if you are an Odd-lot
Holder, you must decide to either:
2.1.1.1. sell your Odd-lot Holding to RMH at the Offer Price; or
2.1.1.2. retain your Odd-lot Holding.
2.1.2. If you wish to retain your RMH Shares, you must specifically make an election to do so.
2.1.3. Those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election by 12:00pm on Friday, 13 November 2026
will automatically be regarded as having accepted the Odd-lot Offer and chose to dispose
of their RMH Shares to the Company and will receive the cash consideration, being their
Odd-lot Holding multiplied by the Offer Price (“Cash Consideration”).
2.2. Transaction costs and tax
2.2.1. The transfer costs of Odd-lot Holders who sell their Odd-lot Holdings to RMH will be borne
by RMH.
2.2.2. RMH, by proposing the Odd-lot Offer, is therefore making it possible for the Odd-lot
Holders who wish to dispose of their shareholding to do so in a cost-effective manner.
2.2.3. The Cash Consideration payable to Odd-lot Holders will constitute a “dividend” as defined
in section 1 of the Income Tax Act, No. 58 of 1962, as amended (“Income Tax Act”). The
Cash Consideration will give rise to a liability for dividends tax in accordance with the
Income Tax Act in the event that any Odd-lot Holder does not qualify for an exemption
from the dividends tax.
2.2.4. In the event that any Odd-lot Holder does not qualify for an exemption from the dividends
tax, RMH will withhold the relevant portion from the Cash Consideration in relation to a
particular Shareholder in order to make payment of such liability for dividends tax.
2.2.5. The implementation of the Odd-lot Offer will not result in a reduction of the contributed
tax capital of the Company.
2.2.6. The summary of the tax considerations pertaining to the Odd-lot Offer is based on the
current laws that are applicable as at the date of this announcement and is subject to
potential changes that may be made to such legislation subsequently, which could be
retrospective. The summary is a general guide and is not intended to constitute a complete
analysis of the tax consequences of the Odd-lot Offer provisions in terms of South African
tax law. It is not intended to be, nor should it be considered legal or tax advice. RMH
and its advisors cannot be held responsible for the tax consequences of the Odd-lot Offer
and therefore Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors in this regard.
2.2.7. The Odd-lot Offer may be subject to tax in the relevant jurisdiction of the Odd-lot Holders
arising from the disposal of the Odd-lot Holdings by the Odd-lot Holders who make an
election to sell their respective Odd-lot Holdings to RMH, or who do not make an election
in the case of Odd-lot Holders.
2.2.8. The Company will bear the securities transfer tax associated with the acquisition of the
Shares forming the subject of the Odd-lot Offer.
