LONG4LIFE LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)

(“Long4Life” or “the Company”)
CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS REGARDING A GENERAL AUTHORITY TO REPURCHASE SHARES AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING
1. Introduction
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on the Stock Exchange News Service
(“SENS”) of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) on Monday, 21 December 2020 in terms of which shareholders
were advised that the Company purchased an additional 35 135 094 of its own ordinary shares and
cancelled 50 401 801 shares being 5,87% of the shares in issue immediately preceding the
cancellation.
After the SENS announcement referred to above, the Company has authority to repurchase an
additional 95 071 578 shares in terms of the general authority granted by shareholders at the
Company’s annual general meeting held on Wednesday, 1 July 2020.
The Company has surplus liquidity in excess to its current needs. In place of paying a dividend to
shareholders of the Company, the Company has been buying back its own shares in the market
and intends to continue to do so.
The JSE rules prohibit companies from buying back more than 20% of their issued share capital in
aggregate in any given financial year. In order to provide Long4Life with maximum flexibility in its
general buyback programme in the 2022 financial year, the Company is proposing that the general
buy back resolution become effective on 1 March 2021 rather than presenting this resolution at the
Company’s AGM which is expected to be held in July 2021.
Shareholders are therefore accordingly advised that a circular to shareholders, detailing a proposed
general authority for Long4Life to repurchase up to 20% of the issued shares during the financial
year commencing on 1 March 2021 (“General Repurchase”) and incorporating a notice of a special
general meeting (“General Meeting”) and, where applicable, a form of proxy, has been distributed
to shareholders today, Monday, 18 January 2021 ("the Circular").
The Circular is also available on the Company's website at https://www.long4life.co.za/investors-
circulars-notices.php.
