FINALISATION OF SHARE CONSOLIDATION
NOT FOR RELEASE, PUBLICATION OR DISTRIBUTION, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, DIRECTLY OR
INDIRECTLY IN, INTO OR FROM, ANY JURISDICTION WHERE TO DO SO WOULD CONSTITUTE A
VIOLATION OF THE RELEVANT LAWS OF SUCH JURISDICTION.
As described in the Prospectus published by the Company on Thursday, 7 November 2019, and following the approval
of the relevant resolution by shareholders of the Company in the General Meeting held on Tuesday, 26 November 2019,
the issued share capital of the Company, being 1,038,840,380 ordinary shares of 1 pence each at the date of this
announcement, will be consolidated on the basis of 10 ordinary shares of 1 pence each for one new ordinary share of 10
pence with a new ISIN of GB00BL6XZ716 (“New Ordinary Shares”) (the “Consolidation”).
The Consolidation will result in the 1,038,840,380 ordinary shares of 1 pence each being consolidated into 103,884,038
New Ordinary Shares with effect from Wednesday, 15 January 2020.
Any fractional entitlements arising on the Consolidation will be aggregated and sold in the market for the best price
reasonably obtainable and the net proceeds will be distributed to shareholders entitled to such sums, save that the
Company shall be entitled to retain the net proceeds of the sale representing such fractions where the individual amount
of the net proceeds to which a Shareholder is entitled is less than five pounds (£5).
An application has been, or will be made for the New Ordinary Shares, which will have the same rights and will be
subject to the same restrictions as ordinary shares in issue prior to the Consolidation, to be admitted to the Premium
Segment of the Official List of the United Kingdom Listing Authority, to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s Main
Market for listed securities and to be listed on the JSE (“Admission”). It is expected that the Admission will occur on
Wednesday, 15 January 2020.
For UK shareholders, those holding shares in CREST on the record date of Tuesday, 14 January 2020 will have their
CREST accounts credited with the New Ordinary Shares on Wednesday, 15 January 2020.
New share certificates will be issued to non-CREST shareholders in substitution for their existing share certificates. All
existing share certificates will be invalid and will be cancelled and new share certificates are expected to be dispatched
to those UK shareholders who hold their shares in certificated form on the record date, by Wednesday, 29 January 2020.
For South African shareholders, dematerialised shareholders’ accounts at their CSDP/broker will be updated on
Monday, 20 January 2020 to reflect the New Ordinary Shares to which they are entitled under the Consolidation as at
Friday, 17 January 2020, being the South African record date for the Consolidation. Provided that old share certificates
have been lodged with the South African transfer secretaries by 12:00 on Friday, 17 January 2020, replacement share
certificates will be issued to certificated shareholders on Monday, 20 January 2020. Share certificates received after this
time will be posted within 5 business days of receipt.
