  • The allotment and issue of shares must be made to persons qualifying as public shareholders and not to related parties, as defined in the JSE Listings Requirements, provided that if the Company undertakes an equity raise via a bookbuild process, shares may be allotted and issued to related parties on the basis that such related parties may only participate in the equity raise at the maximum bid price at which they are prepared to take up shares or at the book close price in accordance with the provisions contained in paragraph 5.52(f) of the JSE Listings Requirements
  • The shares, which are the subject of the issue for cash, must be of a class already in issue or, where this is not the case, must be limited to such shares or rights that are convertible into a class already in issue
  • The total aggregate number of shares which may be issued for cash in terms of this authority may not exceed 549 122 938 shares, being 30% (thirty percent) of the total issued share capital as at the date of this AGM notice. Accordingly, any shares issued under this authority prior to this authority lapsing shall be deducted from the 549 122 938 shares the Company is authorised to issue in terms

of this authority for the purpose of determining the remaining number of shares that may be issued in terms of this authority

  • In the event of a sub-division or consolidation of shares prior to this authority lapsing, the existing authority shall be adjusted accordingly to represent the same allocation ratio
  • The maximum discount at which the shares may be issued is 10% (ten percent) of the weighted average traded price of such shares measured over the 30 (thirty) business days prior to the date that the price of the issue is agreed between the Company and the party subscribing for the shares
  • After the Company has issued shares for cash which represent, on a cumulative basis, within the period that this authority is valid, 5% (five percent) or more of the number of shares in issue prior to that issue, the Company shall publish an announcement containing full details of the issue, including the number of shares issued, the average discount to the weighted average trading price of the shares over the 30 (thirty) days prior to the date that the issue is agreed in writing and an explanation, including supporting information (if any), of the intended use of the funds
  • For as long as the Board is authorised to issue shares in terms of this resolution, the Board will, pursuant to Article 5 of the Company's Articles of Association, withdraw or restrict the pre-emption rights of shareholders in respect of any such issuance.

Explanatory note

In terms of the JSE Listings Requirements, in order for ordinary resolution number 6 to be adopted, the support of at least 75% (seventy-five percent) of the total number of votes exercisable by shareholders, present in person or by proxy, is required to pass this resolution.

ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 7

RESOLVED THAT, without prejudice to the authority granted under ordinary resolution number 6 and subject to the provisions of the Companies Act and the JSE Listings Requirements, where applicable:

  • The Board be and is hereby authorised to allot and issue such number of additional ordinary shares up to the authorised share capital of the Company at such time or times, to such person or persons, company or companies and upon such terms and conditions as they may determine, until this authority lapses, which shall be at the next AGM or 15 (fifteen) months from the date of passing this ordinary resolution, whichever is the earlier. Provided that, when issuing shares under this authority, the Board shall observe all applicable rules and requirements including, inter alia, (i) the Companies Act, (ii) the JSE Listings Requirements and (iii) where the allotment or issue is undertaken in terms of a vendor consideration placement pursuant to the JSE Listings Requirements, the pricing mechanism is subject to the pricing limitations set out in the JSE Listings Requirements
  • For as long as the Board is authorised to issue shares in terms of this resolution, the Board will, pursuant to Article 5 of the Company's Articles of Association, withdraw or restrict the pre-emption rights of shareholders in respect of any such issuance.

Explanatory note

The reason for this ordinary resolution number 7 is to authorise the Board to allot and issue additional shares of the Company without the need for further shareholder approval.

The effect of the resolution, if passed, will be to grant the requisite authority to the Board to issue new ordinary shares in the share capital of the Company such that the issued share capital of the Company may be less than or equal to the authorised share capital of the Company.

The effect of this authority shall be without prejudice to the authority granted to the Board under ordinary resolution number 6.

NOTES TO THE FORM OF PROXY

  1. Any alteration or correction made to this form of proxy must be initialed by the signatory(ies).
  2. Members that are "own-name" dematerialised shareholders or hold ordinary shares in certificated form and are entitled to attend and vote at the Annual General Meeting may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the member's choice in the space(s) provided, with or without deleting "the Chairperson of the Annual General Meeting", but any such deletion must be initialed by the shareholder(s). Such proxy(ies) may participate in, speak and vote at the Annual General Meeting in the place of that shareholder at the Annual General Meeting. The person whose name stands first on the form of proxy, and who is present at the meeting, will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow. If no proxy is named on a lodged form of proxy, the Chairperson shall be deemed to be appointed as the proxy.
  3. A member's instructions to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of votes exercisable by the member in the appropriate box(es) provided. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorise the proxy, in the case of any proxy other than the Chairperson, to vote or abstain from voting as deemed fit and, in the case of the Chairperson, to vote in favour of the resolution.
  4. A member or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the member, but the total of the votes cast or abstained may not exceed the total of the votes exercisable in respect of the shares held by the member.
  5. A shareholder may revoke the proxy appointment by:
    (a) Cancelling it in writing, or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy, and
    (b) Delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and the Company. The revocation of a proxy appointment constitutes a complete and final cancellation of the proxy's authority to act on behalf of the shareholder as at the later of the date stated in the revocation instrument, if any, or the date on which the revocation instrument was delivered in the required manner.
  6. The Chairperson of the Annual General Meeting may reject or accept any form of proxy which is completed and/or received otherwise than in compliance with these notes and the Company's Articles of Association, provided that, in respect of acceptances, the Chairperson is satisfied as to the manner in which the member concerned wishes to vote.
  7. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the relevant member from attending the meeting and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof, should such member wish to do so.
  8. Documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing this form of proxy in a representative capacity must be attached to this form of proxy, unless previously recorded by the Company or the Company Secretary or waived by the Chairperson of the Annual General Meeting.
