PLACEMENT OF TSOGO SUN HOTELS ORDINARY SHARES


1. INTRODUCTION


    On 23 May, 2019, Tsogo Sun Hotels Limited (“Tsogo Sun Hotels”) issued a Pre-Listing Statement
    (“the PLS”) to Tsogo Sun Holdings’ shareholders (“Shareholders”) in relation to the unbundling by
    Tsogo Sun Holdings of all of its shares held in Tsogo Sun Hotels to Shareholders (“the
    Unbundling”), and the listing of Tsogo Sun Hotels on the Main Board of the JSE Limited (“the JSE”)
    on 12 June, 2019. Under the terms of the Unbundling, Shareholders were entitled to receive one
    Tsogo Sun Hotels share for every one Tsogo Sun Holdings share held by them on 14 June, 2019.
    The Unbundling and distribution of shares in Tsogo Sun Hotels was conducted under the procedural
    requirements and disclosure standards of South Africa which may have been different from those
    applicable in other foreign jurisdictions.


    On 14 June, 2019, Link Market Services South Africa (Pty) Limited (“the Transfer Secretaries”),
    notified Tsogo Sun Holdings that Shareholders holding 29,581,618 Tsogo Sun Hotels shares had
    indicated their inability to receive such Tsogo Sun Hotels shares. In accordance with the terms of
    the Unbundling set out in the PLS, such Tsogo Sun Hotels shares will be disposed of for cash with
    the net proceeds paid to the relevant shareholders.


    Due to the number of such Tsogo Sun Hotels shares to be sold, Tsogo Sun Holdings will proceed
    with the sale by way of an accelerated bookbuild placing (the “Placing”).


                                                                                                    1
2. THE PLACING

    In terms of the Placing, up to 29,581,618 Tsogo Sun Hotels ordinary shares (“Placing Shares”) will
    become available for sale to qualifying institutional investors.


    The books of the Placing will open with immediate effect. The timing of closing of the books will be
    at the absolute discretion of the Manager (as defined below). Pricing and allocations of the Placing
    Shares will be determined as soon as practicable following the closing of the book. The Placing is
    subject to demand, price and market conditions.


    The Placing process will be subject to normal share trading practices, the relevant rules, regulations
    and procedures of the JSE, the applicable law and the settlement authority of Strate Proprietary
    Limited.


    The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited is acting as sole bookrunner (“the Manager”) in relation
    to the Placing.


    Tsogo Sun Holdings is conducting the Placing on an undocumented basis – no prospectus, offering
    circular, pre-listing statement or other offering document has been or will be published in connection
    with the Placing. Potential investors in the Placing should take into account all publicly available
    information in relation to Tsogo Sun Hotels before making an investment decision.
