DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
INTRODUCTION
Shareholders of Curro (“Shareholders”) are referred to the announcement published by the
Company on SENS on Thursday, 18 June 2020, in terms of which Shareholders were advised
that the Company intends to raise R1 500 000 000 from its Shareholders by way of a partially
underwritten non-renounceable rights offer (“Rights Offer”) of 185 873 606 new Curro
ordinary shares (“Rights Offer Shares”). A circular setting out the full particulars relating to
the Rights Offer will be distributed to Shareholders in due course.
Shareholders were furthermore advised that the voting power of the new Curro ordinary
shares that are to be issued pursuant to the Rights Offer will exceed 30% of the voting power
of all the Curro ordinary shares held by Shareholders immediately before the issue of the
Rights Offer Shares. Accordingly, in terms of section 41(3) of the Companies Act No. 71 of
2008 (“Companies Act”), the Company requires the approval of Shareholders by way of a
special resolution in order to issue the Rights Offer Shares in terms of the Rights Offer.
In addition to the above, Shareholders are advised that, in order to have sufficient authorised
but unissued share capital post the Rights Offer for general corporate purposes, it is necessary
for the Company to increase its authorised share capital from 600 000 000 to 800 000 000
ordinary shares. The increase in the authorised share capital requires Shareholder approval
by way of a special resolution in terms of section 36(2)(a) and section 16(1)(c) of the
Companies Act.
DISTRIBUTION OF CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
A circular (“Circular”), detailing the approval required in terms of section 41(3) of the
Companies Act and the approval required for the increase in the authorised share capital of
the Company, will be distributed to Shareholders today, Friday, 19 June 2020. The Circular
also incorporates a notice convening a general meeting of Shareholders (“General Meeting”)
for the purpose of considering, and, if deemed fit, passing, with or without modification, the
resolutions contained in such notice.
Notice is hereby given that the General Meeting will be held at 10:00 on Monday, 20 July 2020,
to consider and, if deemed fit, to pass, with or without modification, the requisite resolution
required in terms of section 41(3) of the Companies Act in order to issue the Rights Offer
Shares and the requisite resolution required in terms of sections 36(2)(a) and 16(1)(c) to
increase the authorised share capital of the Company. Shareholders are invited to attend the
