If you have disposed of all your Shares, please forward this Circular to the purchaser of such Shares or to the broker, CSDP, banker or other agent through whom the disposal was effected.

For Invicta to implement the Odd-lot Offer, the Directors are seeking approval from Shareholders to implement the Oddlot Offer and the MOI Amendments, at the General Meeting, to be held on Thursday, 6 July 2023 at 12:30 (SA time), at which all Shareholders will be entitled to participate in and/or vote on the Resolutions required to implement the Oddlot Offer and the MOI Amendments. The Odd-lot Offer and MOI Amendments are conditional on the Resolutions being approved by the Shareholders at the General Meeting.

Electronic participation

The General Meeting, convened in terms of the Notice of General Meeting, will be held entirely by electronic communication, as permitted by the JSE, the provisions of the Companies Act and the MOI on Thursday, 6 July 2023, commencing at 12:30.

In this respect, the Company has retained the services of the Transfer Secretaries, Computershare, to facilitate the General Meeting on an interactive electronic platform, in order to facilitate remote participation by Shareholders. The Transfer Secretaries will also act as scrutineer. A live voting function will not be available at the General Meeting.

Shareholders who wish to participate in the General Meeting, including proxy holders, will be required to submit the duly completed Electronic Participation Form, found on page 31 of this Circular, together with the relevant documents to Computershare at [email protected], as provided for on the form by no later than 12:30 on Wednesday, 5 July 2023. Shareholders are strongly encouraged to complete their verification well ahead of time.

Once your shareholding, identity and authority (if the Shareholder is not an individual) have been verified by Computershare, you will be provided with details on how to join the General Meeting web stream. A live voting function will not be available, and Shareholders will be required to send their duly completed Forms of Proxy to Computershare via email by 12:30 on Wednesday, 5 July 2023 for administrative purposes. Any Forms of Proxy not delivered by this time may be forwarded to the Transfer Secretaries at any time prior to the commencement of voting on any Resolutions proposed at the General Meeting.

Shareholders that choose not to participate in the General Meeting can still submit their completed Forms of Proxy to Computershare at [email protected] by no later than 12:30 on Wednesday, 5 July 2023.

The Transfer Secretaries will assist Shareholders with the requirements for electronic participation at the General Meeting. The Transfer Secretaries are further obliged to validate (in correspondence with the Company), each such Shareholder’s entitlement to participate at the General Meeting, before providing it with the necessary means to access the General Meeting. For further information in this regard, please see the details contained in the Notice of General Meeting.

While the Company will incur all costs for the hosting of the General Meeting by way of a remote interactive electronic platform, Shareholders will be liable for their own network charges in relation to electronic participation at the General Meeting. Any such charges will not be for the account of the JSE, the Company or the Transfer Secretaries. None of the JSE, the Company or the Transfer Secretaries can be held accountable in the case of loss of network connectivity or other network failure due to insufficient airtime, internet connectivity, internet bandwidth and/or power outages which prevents any such Shareholder from participating at the General Meeting.

ACTION REQUIRED BY ODD-LOT HOLDERS FOLLOWING THE GENERAL MEETING

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 6 of this Circular apply, mutatis mutandis, to this “Action Required by Odd-lot Holders following the General Meeting” section.

Following the approval of the Resolutions to be considered at the General Meeting relating to the Odd-lot Offer, the Oddlot Offer will open and if you are an Odd-lot Holder you must decide to either:

  • sell your Odd-lot Holding to Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price; or

  • retain your Odd-lot Holding.

If you wish to retain your Odd-lot Holdings you must specifically make an election to do so. Those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election will automatically be deemed to have accepted the Odd-lot Offer and shall be deemed to have agreed to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings to Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price and to receive the Odd-lot Consideration.

  1. IF YOU HOLD CERTIFICATED SHARES

You must complete the Form of Election and Surrender (blue) and select to either sell or retain your Odd-lot Holding.

If the Transfer Secretaries do not receive your completed form in time, you will automatically be regarded as having accepted the Odd-lot Offer and you will be deemed to have agreed to dispose of your Invicta Shares to Invicta and receive the Odd-lot Consideration.

If any Documents of Title of Certificated Odd-lot Holders have been lost or destroyed and the Odd-lot Holder concerned produces evidence to this effect to the satisfaction of the Transfer Secretaries and Invicta, then the Transfer Secretaries, subject to obtaining Invicta’s consent, may dispense with the surrender of such existing Documents of Title against provision of an acceptable indemnity.

  1. IF YOU HOLD DEMATERIALISED SHARES

CIRCULAR TO INVICTA SHAREHOLDERS

1. INTRODUCTION AND PURPOSE OF THE CIRCULAR

Shareholders are advised that the Board proposes, subject to Shareholder approval, the Odd-lot Offer.

The purpose of the Circular is to provide Shareholders with relevant information relating to the Odd-lot Offer, as well as to convene the General Meeting at 12:30 on Thursday, 6 July 2023, to be held virtually for the purposes of considering and, if deemed fit, passing, with or without modification, the Resolutions contained in the Notice of General Meeting, to approve and implement the Odd-lot Offer.

2. DETAILS OF THE ODD-LOT OFFER

2.1 Background

As at the Last Practicable Date, there are a total of 1,510 Odd-lot Holders on the Register, comprising 40.92% of the total number of Shareholders in the Company. Conversely, the total number of Invicta Shares held by the Odd-lot Holders comprise 36,349 Shares representing only 0.04% of the total issued Shares. Therefore, a significant proportion of the administrative time and costs associated with the Shareholder base is incurred with respect to Shareholders that hold less than 1% of the total Shares in issue. The Board has proposed the implementation of the Odd-lot Offer to facilitate the reduction in the number of Invicta Shareholders in an equitable manner.

In order to (i) provide Odd-lot Holders with an opportunity to realise the value of their investment without incurring dealing charges which might otherwise make it impractical to sell their holding, and to provide liquidity for those Odd-lot Holders who elect not to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or who make no election and; (ii) from the Company’s perspective, to reduce the costs and complexity of managing a large shareholder base, Invicta has decided to proceed with the implementation of the Odd-lot Offer to repurchase the Invicta Shares from the Odd-lot Holders at a 5% premium to the 30-day VWAP of an Invicta Share at the close of business on Monday, 24 July 2023.

An Odd-lot offer is a ‘standard’ corporate action undertaken by JSE-listed companies and will be permitted by the Company’s MOI should Shareholders approve the MOI Amendments at the General Meeting.

8

2.2 Odd-lot Offer Price

The Odd-lot Offer Price will be at a premium of 5% to the 30-day VWAP of an Invicta Share at the close of business on Monday, 24 July 2023.

The Board has specifically resolved that the Odd-lot Offer will be distributed as a return of capital and will result in a reduction of ‘contributed tax capital’ as defined in section 1 of the Income Tax Act. The Odd-lot Consideration will therefore not be regarded as a dividend for South African income tax purposes. Invicta Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax and/or other professional advisors regarding the taxation implications arising out of the acceptance of the Odd-lot Offer. See Annexure 1 to this Circular in this regard.

2.3 Condition precedent to the Odd-lot Offer

The implementation of the Odd-lot Offer is subject to the fulfilment of the condition precedent that the Resolutions relating to the Odd-lot Offer contained in the Notice of General Meeting attached to and forming part of this Circular are duly passed and that the MOI Amendments are accepted and filed by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission.

  • 2.4 Terms of the Odd-lot Offer

  • 2.4.1 Odd-lot Holders, at the time that the Odd-lot Offer is implemented, will be eligible to participate in the Odd-lot Offer.

  • 2.4.2 The Odd-lot Offer is not being made, directly or indirectly, in or into, or by use of the mails of, or by any means or instrumentality (including, without limitation, telephonically or electronically) of interstate or foreign commerce of, or any facility of the national securities exchanges of a Restricted Jurisdiction and the Odd-lot Offer cannot be accepted by any such use, means, instrumentality or facility or from within a Restricted Jurisdiction. Accordingly, neither copies of this Circular nor any related documentation are being or may be mailed or otherwise distributed or sent in or into or from a Restricted Jurisdiction, and if received in any Restricted Jurisdiction, this Circular should be treated as being received for information purposes only.

  • 2.4.3 The information contained herein does not constitute a distribution, an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any Invicta Shares in any jurisdiction in which such distribution or offer is not authorised. In particular, the information herein is not for distribution and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of any offer to buy any Invicta securities in the United States of America or to or for the benefit of any person as such term is defined under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

  • 2.4.4 The Odd-lot Consideration to be paid for each Share pursuant to the Odd-lot Offer will be the Odd-lot Offer Price.

  • 2.4.5 The Shares repurchased in terms of the Odd-lot Offer will be:

    • cancelled, delisted and reinstated as authorised but unissued Shares, if repurchased by the Company; or

    • held as Treasury Shares, if repurchased by a wholly-owned subsidiary of Invicta.

2.5 Mechanism of the Odd-lot Offer

  • 2.5.1 Following the General Meeting, and provided the Shareholders approve the Resolutions required to implement the Odd-lot Offer, Invicta will proceed with implementing the Odd-lot Offer.

In terms of the Odd-lot Offer, Odd-lot Holders will be able to:

  • have their Odd-lot Holdings repurchased by Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price if they decide to sell their Odd-lot Holdings; or

  • retain their Odd-lot Holdings if they decide to retain their Odd-lot Holdings.

Odd-lot Holders who wish to retain their Invicta Shares must specifically elect to do so. Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election or who do not return their Form of Election and Surrender (blue) timeously to the Transfer Secretaries will automatically be deemed to have accepted the Odd-lot Offer and shall be deemed to have agreed to dispose of their Odd-lot Holding to Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price and to receive the Odd-lot Consideration.

  • 2.5.2 The Odd-lot Offer is expected to be open for acceptance from 09:00 on Monday, 10 July 2023 and will close at 12:00 on Friday, 4 August 2023. All Shareholders who hold a total of less than 100 Shares at the Odd-lot Offer Record Date will be entitled to participate in the Odd-lot Offer. The procedure on how such Odd-lot Holders must make their choice (election and surrender procedure) is set out in paragraph 2.6 below.

  • 2.5.3 The Shares of those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election or who do not return their Form of Election and Surrender (blue) timeously to the Transfer Secretaries or who decide to sell their Oddlot Holdings for the Odd-lot Consideration will be repurchased by Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price. Any such repurchase will be regarded as an acquisition of Shares in terms of the Companies Act and a specific repurchase of Shares in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.

  • 2.5.4 Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election or who do not return their Form of Election and Surrender (blue) timeously to the Transfer Secretaries should note that they shall be deemed to have agreed to dispose of their Shares to Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price in terms of the MOI, following approval of the Resolutions by Shareholders of the MOI Amendments, and the registration and approval of the MOI Amendments by the Companies and Intellectual Property Commission, and the JSE Listings Requirements and to receive the Odd-lot Consideration. In such circumstances, the Odd-lot Holdings will automatically be repurchased by Invicta, without any further action on their part and without any further notice to Odd-lot Holders.

  • 2.5.5 The Odd-lot repurchase as set out above will not be from a related party as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements.

  • 2.6 Election and surrender procedure for Odd-lot Holders following the General Meeting

  • 2.6.1 Odd-lot Holders may decide to either:

    • sell their Odd-lot Holdings to Invicta at the Odd-lot Offer Price; or

    • retain their Odd-lot Holdings. If Shareholders wish to retain their Odd-lot Holding they have to make this election.

Those Odd-lot Holders who do not make an election or who do not return their Form of Election and Surrender (blue) timeously to the Transfer Secretaries will automatically be deemed to have accepted the Odd-lot Offer and shall be deemed to have agreed to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings to Invicta and receive the Odd-lot Consideration.

  • 2.6.5 If any Documents of Title of Certificated Odd-lot Holders have been lost or destroyed and the Odd-lot Holder concerned produces evidence to this effect to the satisfaction of the Transfer Secretaries and Invicta, then the Transfer Secretaries, subject to obtaining Invicta’s consent, may dispense with the surrender of such existing Documents of Title against provision of an acceptable indemnity.

  • 2.6.6 Receipts for the surrender of Documents of Title of Certificated Odd-lot Holders will be issued only on request. In compliance with the JSE Listings Requirements, lodging agents are requested to prepare special transaction receipts, if required.

  • 2.6.7 If an Odd-lot Holder does not make an election to retain his Odd-lot Holding it must be drawn to his attention that his share certificates will no longer be good for delivery after the last day to trade in respect of the Odd-lot Offer, other than to receive the proceeds of the sale of such Shares (being the Odd-lot Consideration), upon surrender.

  • 2.6.8 Subject to the implementation of the Odd-lot Offer, it will be necessary for Certificated Odd-lot Holders who have elected to sell their Odd-lot Holdings, either by completing the relevant option set out in the Form of Election and Surrender (blue), or by not responding, to submit all existing Documents of Title under cover of the enclosed Form of Election and Surrender (blue) to the Transfer Secretaries.

  • 2.6.9 Nominee companies will be treated as a single Shareholder, but should a nominee company decide to dispose of Odd-lot Holdings on behalf of principals whose shareholdings constitute Odd-lot Holdings, it may do so by applying in writing to the Transfer Secretaries, giving details of the number of Shares involved, such application to be received by no later than 12:00 on Friday, 4 August 2023.

  • 2.8.2 The Directors, in their discretion, reserve the right to withdraw the Odd-lot Offer in respect of any Shareholder at any time prior to the publication of a finalisation announcement on SENS in respect of the Odd-lot Offer on Tuesday, 25 July 2023.

Emigrants from the Common Monetary Area

The Odd-lot Consideration will not be freely transferable from South Africa and will have to be dealt with in terms of the Exchange Control Regulations.

  • The Odd-lot Consideration due to an Odd-lot Holder who is an emigrant from South Africa, whose registered address is outside the Common Monetary Area and whose Documents of Title have been restrictively endorsed under the Exchange Control Regulations, will be deposited in a blocked account with the Odd-lot Holder’s Authorised Dealer in foreign exchange in South Africa (controlling the Odd-lot Holder’s blocked assets in accordance with his instructions), against delivery of the relevant Documents of Title.

  • At the time of the Odd-lot Offer, the Authorised Dealer releasing the relevant Documents of Title in terms of the Odd-lot Offer must countersign the Form of Election and Surrender (blue) thereby indicating that the Odd-lot Consideration will be placed directly in its control.

  • The Form of Election and Surrender (blue) will make provision for the details of the Authorised Dealer concerned to be provided.

All other non-residents of the Common Monetary Area

  • Odd-lot Holders who have any queries or require assistance with respect to any aspect of the Odd-lot Offer, including the instructions required to be given to an Odd-lot Holder’s nominated Authorised Dealer with regard to the receipt of the Odd-lot Consideration against delivery of the relevant Documents of Title should contact the Company Secretary of Invicta by emailing Lebohang Mpumlwana on [email protected] or calling +27 (0)11 620 7300.

  • The Form of Election and Surrender (blue) will make provision for the nomination required. If the information regarding the Authorised Dealer is incomplete, the Odd-lot Consideration will be held in trust by Invicta for the Odd-lot Holders concerned pending receipt of the necessary information or instruction.

  • All CSDPs and brokers through which Shares have been dematerialised should note that they are required to comply with the Exchange Control Regulations set out above.

3. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

  • 3.1 Rationale for the Odd-lot Offer

The rationale for the Odd-lot Offer is as follows:

The Odd-lot Offer will provide Odd-lot Holders with the ability to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings on an efficient basis and will provide liquidity for those Odd-lot Holders who elect not to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or who make no election, in which case such Odd-lot Holders will be deemed to have agreed to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings. Odd-lot Holders will dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings to Invicta and receive the Odd-lot Consideration. Odd-lot Holders can elect to retain their Odd-lot Holdings.

For Invicta, it will, inter alia, reduce the complexity and cost of managing a shareholder base that comprises of approximately 40.92% of Odd-lot Holders and only 0.04% of the total Shares.

12

The Board has accordingly decided to propose the Odd-lot Offer in order to enable Odd-lot Holders to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings in a cost-effective manner, thereby reducing the number of Odd-lot Holders in an equitable manner.

3.2 Source of funds

The Odd-lot Offer will be funded from Invicta’s existing cash resources.

3.3 Financial impact

The impact of the Odd-lot Offer on the financial information of Invicta is as follows:

  • 3.3.1 The Odd-lot Offer is for cash only and will therefore reduce Invicta’s cash resources by:

  • for illustrative purposes, R1 081 360 for the Odd-lot Offer based on (i) the 30-day VWAP of an Invicta Share to the close of business on the Last Practicable Date of 2 833.27488 cents (source: Iress Expert) plus a premium of 5% i.e. 2 974.93862 cents per Invicta Share and (ii) the maximum number of Shares being repurchased in terms of the Odd-lot Offer as at the Last Practicable Date.

The Odd-lot Offer will result in a decrease of Invicta’s Shares in issue by 36,349 Shares (for illustrative purposes based on the maximum number of Shares held by Odd-lot Holders as at the Last Practicable Date) respectively.

However, NCIB will primarily be acting in its capacity as Sponsor (“ NCIB Sponsor ”), as it will be dispensing with very limited advice in its capacity as Investment Bank and Corporate Advisor, as an odd-lot offer by its very nature is a “standard” corporate action for which the JSE Listings Requirements prescribes set procedures and information for inclusion in a circular. NCIB Sponsor’s key responsibilities include the drafting of the Circular, obtaining the JSE’s approval for the Circular and the release of related announcements.

  • 3.14.2 NCIB Sponsor confirms that acting in its capacity as Sponsor to Invicta in respect of the Odd-lot Offer does not affect NCIB Sponsor’s independence to Invicta. NCIB Sponsor does not have a vested interest in the successful implementation of the Odd-lot Offer, other than the agreed fee charged for the preparation of the Circular and ancillary documentation. This fee is not impacted by the success or otherwise of the Odd-lot Offer.

ANNEXURE 1: TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE ODD-LOT OFFER

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 6 of this Circular apply, mutatis mutandis, to this Annexure 1 .

The following summary describes the potential tax consequences arising for Shareholders who are Odd-lot Holders in respect of the disposal of Invicta Shares by way of a specific share repurchase in terms of the Odd-lot Offer in South Africa. The tax consequences outlined in this note apply to Shareholders who have acquired their Shares on the JSE in the ordinary course.

The summary of the tax implications serves as a general guide and is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of the tax consequences. It is not intended to be, nor should it be considered to be, legal or tax advice. As each such Shareholder’s personal circumstances may lead to a different tax analysis, Shareholders should seek appropriate advice in respect of their personal circumstances from their tax advisors.

South African taxation

This section summarises the South African income tax consequences for a Shareholder that is a South African company, a non-South African resident company with a permanent establishment in South Africa or a South African resident shareholder that holds Invicta Shares as capital assets or as trading stock.

In general, the Odd-lot Consideration will be distributed as a return of capital by Invicta, and is paid out of ‘contributed tax capital’ (“ CTC ”) as defined in section 1 of the Income Tax Act. The Odd-lot Consideration will therefore not be regarded as a dividend for South African tax purposes but as proceeds (either on revenue account or on capital account, depending on the intention with which the Shareholder acquired, held and disposed of the Shares) on the disposal of Invicta Shares. In terms of section 9C of the Income Tax Act, if the Shareholder held the Shares for at least 3 years, the proceeds on disposal will automatically be deemed to be of a capital nature.

The Odd-lot Consideration received will therefore either constitute income or proceeds on the disposal of the Invicta Shares and the difference between such amount and the apportioned expenditure attributable to the Invicta Shares, as contemplated above, will either be subject to normal tax or capital gains tax depending on the personal circumstances of the Shareholder.

The tax base cost for capital gains tax purposes for Shareholders who acquired their Shares on the JSE will be equal to the expenditure incurred on acquiring such Shares. If the Shareholders acquired their Shares on revenue account, the deductibility of the expenditure incurred to acquire the Shares as the Shareholder/s’ stock in trade will depend on the Shareholder meeting the requirements in terms of the relevant provisions of the general deduction formula in the Income Tax Act.

General

Shareholders are recommended to consult with their own professional advisors to consider the implications for them in light of their own circumstances.
