CHANGE IN LOGISTICAL ARRANGEMENTS FOR KAAP AGRI’S 2021 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING
1. INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are referred to the Company’s SENS announcement dated 14 December 2020,
advising that Kaap Agri’s 2021 annual general meeting (“AGM”) will be held at 12:30 p.m. on
Thursday, 11 February 2021 and that the notice of AGM (“Notice”) had been distributed to
shareholders. The SENS announcement and Notice indicated that the AGM would be held in
person at Lemoenkloof Guest House, 3 Malan Street, Paarl.
Shareholders are further referred to the Company’s SENS announcement dated
22 January 2021, which stated that the Company was considering changing the format of the
AGM to a fully virtual meeting (time and date unchanged), given the severity of the second
wave of the COVID-19 pandemic that is currently sweeping the country and the restrictions on
gatherings of people in terms of the Disaster Management Act, No. 57 of 2002, as amended
("Gathering Restrictions").
2. AGM TO BE HELD WHOLLY BY ELECTRONIC MEANS
Further to the above, Kaap Agri’s board of directors has decided that, in light of the substantial
recent increase in COVID-19 infections, nationally and in the Western Cape, including a new
more contagious strain of the disease, and the Gathering Restrictions, the AGM will no longer
be held in person, but will instead be held electronically as a virtual-only meeting in the manner
set out below. The Company believes that this is the prudent, responsible, and legally
compliant route to adopt to protect the health of shareholders and other AGM participants.
Accordingly, shareholders are advised that the AGM scheduled for Thursday,
11 February 2021 at 12:30 p.m. will now be conducted entirely by way of electronic
communication, as permitted under the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, the Companies
Act, No. 71 of 2008, as amended, and the Company’s memorandum of incorporation.
A notice advising of the change to an all-virtual AGM is in the process of being distributed to
shareholders. In addition, Kaap Agri has, for the convenience of shareholders, made available
on its website, at www.kaapagri.co.za, an updated version of the Notice and accompanying
form of proxy, setting out how shareholders and guests will be able to attend, participate and/or
vote electronically at the AGM. No changes have been made to the date or time of the AGM,
to its agenda or to the ordinary and special resolutions to be considered and voted on at the
AGM, all of which remain unchanged.
Likewise the form of proxy annexed to the Notice remains unchanged, save only for the
reference therein to the physical meeting being replaced with a statement that the AGM will be
held electronically and consequent amendments to the notes to the form of proxy. Both the
form of proxy annexed to the original Notice distributed on 14 December 2020 and the form of
proxy annexed to the updated Notice, available at the above website link, will be valid for the
AGM. The record date and last date to trade in order to be eligible to vote at the AGM also
remain unchanged.
3. HOW TO PARTICIPATE AND VOTE
The required steps to participate and vote at the AGM have been summarised below. Kindly
refer to the updated Notice, available at www.kaapagri.co.za, for further details in this regard.
