JOINT ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF THE PRELIMINARY RESULTS OF MANDATORY
OFFER AND CONCLUSION OF CONCERT PARTY ARRANGEMENT
Unless expressly defined in this announcement, or the context indicates otherwise, capitalised terms
herein have the meanings given to them in the combined offer circular distributed to Shareholders on
Friday, 25 March 2022 ("Circular").
1. Introduction
Shareholders are referred to the: (i) joint Firm Intention Announcement released on SENS on
Thursday, 3 February 2022 wherein they were advised of Raubex Group Limited's firm intention
(through its subsidiary, Raubex Proprietary Limited ("Raubex"), acting in concert with Pelagic) to
make a mandatory offer to Shareholders to acquire all of their Shares for an Offer Consideration
of R0.42 per Share; (ii) joint announcement regarding the posting of the Circular released on
SENS on Friday, 25 March 2022; (iii) joint finalisation announcement released on SENS on
Friday, 13 May 2022; (iv) joint announcement regarding the extension of the Closing Date of the
Offer until Friday, 10 June 2022, released on SENS on Monday, 23 May 2022; and (v) joint
finalisation announcement released on SENS on Monday, 30 May 2022.
2. Preliminary Results of Offer
Shareholders are advised of the following preliminary results in respect of the Offer:
- the Offer was accepted in respect of 79 603 141 Shares (in aggregate), constituting 10.62%
of Bauba's total issued share capital and 39.46% of the total Offer Shares held by Minority
Shareholders.
3. Final Results of Offer
Shareholders should take note that the final results of the Offer are still in the process of being
confirmed and final results will be announced on SENS as soon as possible, but by no later than
Wednesday, 15 June 2022.
The delay is due to the final Register only being available 48 business hours after the Offer closed
at 12:00 on Friday, 10 June 2022, and the need for the Transfer Secretaries to simply balance
their records, prior to confirming the total number of acceptances of the Offer by Minority
Shareholders.
Shareholders are advised that whilst the above circumstances are not in the control of Bauba nor
Raubex, the JSE has merely acknowledged these circumstances, but have not granted a formal
dispensation nor agreed to a change in the timetable of the Offer, as contained in the joint
finalisation announcement released on SENS on Monday, 30 May 2022.
4. Raubex and Pelagic coming out of concert
Shareholders are reminded that, for purposes of the Offer only, Raubex was Acting in Concert with
Pelagic.
As the Offer has closed, Shareholders are hereby advised that Raubex and Pelagic have come
out of concert and have made the necessary declarations in the required form to Bauba and the
TRP, as applicable, as required by regulation 84(5) of the Takeover Regulations.
