    1. If you are a dematerialised odd-lot holder or voluntary holder WITH OR WITHOUT "own name" registration
    • 2.1 Your CSDP or broker is obliged to contact you in the manner stipulated in the agreement concluded between you and your CSDP or broker to ascertain what choice you wish to make in terms of the offers and thereafter to advise the transfer secretaries of such choice.
    • 2.2 If you have not been contacted, you should contact your CSDP or broker and furnish it with your instructions relating to your choice.
    • 2.3 If your CSDP or broker does not obtain instructions from you regarding your choice, it will be obliged to act in accordance with the provisions contained in the agreement concluded between you and your CSDP or broker.

MMI shall be entitled to refuse to implement the offers for the purchase of MMI ordinary shares pursuant to the odd-lot offer or the voluntary repurchase offer (as the case may be) in respect of any odd-lot holder or voluntary holder whom MMI reasonably believes has become an odd-lot holder or voluntary holder (as the case may be) in order to take advantage of the odd-lot offer or the voluntary repurchase offer, and such odd-lot holder or voluntary holder will have no claim against MMI arising out of or in connection with such refusal.

CIRCULAR TO SHAREHOLDERS

MMI through Metropolitan, and KTH through KTI, have a long-standing relationship. The relationship began in 2004 when KTH acquired an approximately 10% shareholding in MMI and became MMI's strategic empowerment partner.

KTH's shareholding changed over the years as the two groups strengthened their mutually beneficial ties, from which both organisations derived financial benefits and development opportunities.

MMI was created in 2010 as a result of the merger between Metropolitan and Momentum, resulting in a substantially larger and more diversified financial services group. KTH, on the other hand, was created in 2011 when KTI and Tiso merged, also with a view to forming a larger and more diversified group. KTH is a significant black-owned and managed company, with a focus on financial services. KTH's investment in MMI provides a key entry point for KTH into the long-term insurance market which is consistent with the KTH group's investment strategy.

MMI seeks opportunities to advance BEE as a significant contributor to the economic advancement of South Africa.

The two groups have reviewed their relationship and would like to extend it because of the long term advantages it affords them. Consequently, they are planning to develop the relationship along the following lines:

  • • ensuring that it remains mutually beneficial over the long-term;
  • • continuing to co-operate closely in the financial services sector; and
  • • expanding both businesses while simultaneously advancing the development of BEE.

These intentions will be effected through the BEE restructuring.

Following the merger of Metropolitan and Momentum in 2010, KTH and the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust together held approximately 8% of MMI. The Metropolitan Empowerment Trust has since exited the BEE structure, through KTH's facilitation, by means of Newco repurchasing the ordinary shares in the share capital of Newco previously held by the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust. Following the Newco repurchase, KTH is now the sole shareholder of Newco with an increased effective shareholding in MMI. MMI intends to facilitate the refinancing of the BEE transaction through specific amendments which will result in a restructuring of the BEE transaction.

In addition to the BEE restructuring, in order to reduce the substantial and ongoing costs of administration connected with a large number of odd-lot holders and voluntary holders and to provide these shareholders with an inexpensive method of realising their investment in MMI, the directors propose the implementation of an odd-lot offer to repurchase the shares of shareholders holding less than 100 MMI ordinary shares, as well as a voluntary offer to repurchase the shares of shareholders holding 100 to 500 MMI ordinary shares.

The purpose of this circular is to provide shareholders with relevant information relating to the proposed BEE restructuring as well as detail on the offers. This information will enable shareholders to make an informed decision as to whether or not they should vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the general meeting in order to give effect to the proposed BEE restructuring and (should a shareholder be an odd-lot holder or a voluntary holder) to make an informed decision in response to the odd-lot offer and voluntary repurchase offer. These resolutions are set out in the notice of general meeting included in this circular.

Until the Companies Act came into effect on 1 May 2011, the memorandum of incorporation of MMI comprised of its memorandum of association and its articles of association. On the date that the Companies Act came into effect, the memorandum of association and articles of association of MMI automatically converted into MMI's memorandum of incorporation. Accordingly, for consistency of reference in this circular, the term "memorandum of incorporation" is used throughout to refer to MMI's memorandum of incorporation (which is comprised of what was previously known as MMI's memorandum of association and its articles of association, as aforesaid).

This circular is divided into three parts:

  • • Part I contains information in respect of the BEE restructuring;
  • • Part II contains information in respect of the odd-lot and voluntary repurchase offers; and
  • • Part III contains additional information.

PART I – BEE RESTRUCTURING

1. Introduction and overview of the current BEE structure

On 10 June 2004 the Company entered into a strategic BEE partnership with KTI through the conclusion of the phase 1 transaction in terms of which KTI acquired, directly and indirectly, approximately 10% of the issued MMI shares. The phase 1 transaction was implemented through the issue of approximately 75.8 million A1 preference shares to SPV, which was controlled by KTI.

During the second half of 2005, the partnership between KTI and the Company was further enhanced through the phase II transaction in terms of which SPV subscribed for a further approximately 47 million A2 and A3 preference shares. In addition, the participation of a consortium of the Company's management, through the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust, in the BEE transaction was facilitated by means of the acquisition of an effective 25% shareholding in SPV through Newco. This increased the combined shareholding of KTI and the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust in the Company to approximately 21%.

In September 2009 the phase III transaction led to the restructuring of the A1 and A2 preference shares. The A1 and A2 preference shares are redeemable on or before 30 October and 5 December 2012, respectively. The A3 preference shares, which were due for redemption on 5 December 2010, were extended by a year to 5 December 2011. The A3 preference shares were subsequently again extended to 31 July 2012 in order to accommodate this proposed BEE restructuring.

In December 2010, as a result of the merger, the Company was renamed MMI and in July 2011, KTI merged with Tiso to form KTH.

In December 2011, MMI acquired all the A3 SPV preference shares from RMB and SCM and in March 2012 KTH facilitated the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust's exit through a repurchase by Newco of the ordinary shares in the share capital of Newco held by the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust. As a result, KTH is now the sole shareholder of Newco with an increased effective shareholding in MMI.

Currently SPV owns an effective interest of approximately 7% in MMI through the following instruments:

Instrument type Number of shares
A1 preference shares 53,000,000
A2 preference shares 12,700,000
A3 preference shares 34,381,139
MMI ordinary shares 15,552,200
Total 115,633,339

The current BEE structure is illustrated below:

For detailed information on phases I, II and III of the BEE transaction, shareholders are referred to the Company's circular dated 4 August 2009 and the Company's circular, including the revised listings particulars, dated 6 September 2010.

2. Information on KTH

2.1 KTH

KTH was created with effect from 1 July 2011 as a result of the merger of two leading, black-owned and managed companies, namely KTI and Tiso. The merger has created a sizable investment company of critical mass with access to larger transactions and increased investment portfolio diversification. The investment sectors in which KTH currently has a significant exposure in terms of net asset value contribution include infrastructure, media and ICT, healthcare, resources, property and financial services.

KTH's focus is to invest in large market capitalisation businesses that have proven management, produce robust cashflows and deliver attractive capital growth and meaningful dividend income generation to its shareholders on a sustainable basis. KTH is managed by a strong, experienced, professional and predominantly black management team with a proven track record and the capacity to manage a diverse portfolio.

The shareholders of KTH consist of a diversified group of parties with the largest shareholder grouping comprising two public benefit organisations, namely Kagiso Charitable Trust ("the Kagiso Trust") and Tiso Foundation Charitable Trust. Other shareholders include Remgro Limited, Tiso Investment Holdings Proprietary Limited, the staff and management of KTH and a group of leading institutional investors in South Africa comprising Standard Bank Limited, Investec Bank Limited, RMB and the Liberty Group.

2.2 KTI

KTI was formed in December 1993 by the Kagiso Trust as a vehicle to provide sustainable, long-term financial support to the Kagiso Trust for the purpose of community development and to achieve true economic empowerment through active, operational involvement in underlying strategic investments, good financial management and corporate governance. KTI's controlling shareholder was the Kagiso Trust which is a broad-based charitable organisation set up by the SA Council of Churches in the mid 1980s. The Kagiso Trust was established to provide assistance to underprivileged communities, with a focus on education, healthcare and general poverty alleviation. The ultimate beneficiaries of the Kagiso Trust are the communities that it supports through various projects.

During its existence, KTI concentrated on three distinct investment sectors, namely financial services (investment banking, life insurance and asset management), resources (power and infrastructure sectors) and ICT (industrial and information communication technology and media).

KTI's investment decisions reflected its objective of being a relevant and dynamic contributor to driving socio-economic transformation. Forging strong partnerships with subsidiary and investee companies were crucial in building long-term relationships that were based on the core values and ethos that were an integral part of its history.

2.3 Tiso

Tiso was established in 2001 and was one of South Africa's leading black-controlled and managed investment companies. Founded by leading African entrepreneurs, it was a business largely owned and controlled by its management and staff.

Tiso also had successful shareholder relationships with the above-mentioned financial institutions, namely Standard Bank Limited, Investec Bank Limited, RMB and the Liberty Group.

Over time, Tiso built a strong and defensive investment portfolio with stakes in blue chip companies in the infrastructure and natural resources sectors, and with strategic holdings in construction, steel merchanting, coal, industrial minerals, mining services, power and property development companies. With its strong emphasis on relationships, Tiso built a solid platform which positioned the group for continued growth both in South Africa and the African continent as a whole.

3. Rationale for and benefits of the BEE restructuring

3.1 The rationale

Broad-based BEE is one of MMI's most important business imperatives and is in line with the MMI group's strategic objectives. The empowerment requirements set out in the Codes and the Charter are key drivers for the strategy and operations of MMI. MMI's broad-based BEE ownership strategy involving KTH and the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust was implemented in order to facilitate meaningful participation in the ownership of MMI by black South Africans, as envisaged by the Charter and the Codes. While KTH's effective interest in MMI has increased, the current direct and indirect beneficial shareholding of SPV in MMI was reduced from approximately 8% to 7% following the Metropolitan Empowerment Trust's exit.

Given that the lock-in restrictions on KTH's holding of MMI shares as provided for in the 2009 relationship agreement will soon expire, the empowerment credentials of MMI could be negatively impacted should KTH elect to sell its interests in MMI.

MMI would like to facilitate the BEE restructuring through the refinancing of KTH's shareholding in MMI and the extension of the lock-in restrictions in relation to KTH. Pursuant to this, MMI and KTH have entered into the 2012 relationship agreement.

3.2 The benefits of the BEE restructuring

The proposed BEE restructuring will provide the following benefits for MMI:

  • • MMI's broad-based BEE business imperatives will be maintained and its strategic objectives achieved by maintaining its broad-based BEE ownership strategy;
  • • KTH will maintain a meaningful economic shareholding in MMI;
  • • the conversion of A1 and A2 preference shares will free up some capital for MMI; and
  • • the annual dividend payable on the A3 preference shares will be reduced.

4. BEE restructuring transaction steps

The proposed BEE restructuring will involve the following steps:

  • • the extension of and amendment of the terms and conditions attaching to the A3 preference shares and the A3 SPV preference shares as detailed in this circular;
  • • the conversion by SPV of the A1 preference shares and A2 preference shares into MMI ordinary shares;
  • • the redemption by SPV of the A1 SPV preference shares and issue of the G SPV preference shares to external funders; and
  • • the redemption by SPV of the A2 SPV preference shares.
  • 4.1 Step 1:- Extension and amendment to the terms of the A3 preference shares and A3 SPV preference shares

Both the A3 SPV preference shares and the A3 preference shares will be extended for a period of 5 years and the terms attaching to these shares will be amended. The A3 preference shares will have the following amended key features:

  • • the annual coupon will be reduced to R1.32 per share per annum from the current R1.76; and
  • • they will remain convertible into MMI ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, with a current redemption value of R9.18 per share if not converted 5 years from the extension date (as defined below in paragraph 5.2).

The further detail of the amended terms attaching to the A3 preference shares is set out in paragraph 5 below.

4.2 Step 2:- SPV will convert all A1 preference shares and A2 preference shares into MMI ordinary shares

SPV will convert all the A1 preference shares and A2 preference shares held by it into MMI ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis as set out in the terms and conditions attaching to the A1 preference shares and the A2 preference shares:

Conversion date on
Name Number of shares Issue Date or before
A1 preference shares 53,000,000 1 October 2004 30 October 2012
A2 preference shares 12,700,000 5 December 2005 5 December 2012
Total 65,700,000

The preference shares have the following conversion rights:

  • • A1 preference shares convertible by SPV into MMI ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time until the A1 extension date and if not converted, are compulsorily redeemable at the issue price of the A1 preference shares on the A1 extension date (being 30 October 2012);
  • • A2 preference shares convertible by SPV into MMI ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis at any time until the A2 extension date and if not converted, are compulsorily redeemable at the issue price of the A2 preference shares on the A2 extension date (being 5 December 2012);
  • • Therefore 65,700,000 preference shares will be converted into MMI ordinary shares which will increase the share capital and share premium of MMI by approximately R388 million.

Subject to the above provisions, there are no additional approvals required for the conversion as SPV can elect to convert the preference shares at any stage prior to maturity in accordance with the respective terms of such preference shares, subject only to the written consent of the bank consortium.

MMI will notify or make an application to the JSE to list the MMI ordinary shares.

4.3 Step 3:- Funding raised by SPV

SPV intends independently to raise funding of up to R271 million by issuing the G SPV preference shares to external funders, which funding will be utilised to redeem the A1 SPV preference shares.

4.4 Step 4:- Redemption of the A2 SPV preference shares

SPV will sell such number of MMI ordinary shares as is required to redeem the A2 SPV preference shares.

5. Salient amended terms of the A3 preference shares

5.1 Type

The A3 preference shares will be amended to be fixed coupon cumulative redeemable convertible preference shares with a par value of 0,0001 cent each. These A3 preference shares will remain unlisted. The A3 preference shares will constitute approximately 2% of MMI's total issued share capital.

5.2 Duration

The A3 preference shares will continue to be convertible into MMI ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis, and, if not converted, will be compulsorily redeemable after 5 years from the extension date (as defined below) at the issue price per share less any repayments of share capital or premium to holders of A3 preference shares in respect of such shares plus any preferential cash dividends payable to holders of the A3 preference shares which accrued since the last dividend date to date of redemption plus interest on arrear preferential cash dividends. The extension date is the date upon which the amendments to the terms attaching to the A3 preference shares detailed in this circular, if approved by MMI shareholders, become effective, which shall be between 18 and 30 June 2012.

5.3 Redemption

The A3 preference shares will become redeemable on the occurrence of certain redemption events, including but not limited to the failure of MMI to pay preference dividends on due date, MMI failing to pay the holders of A3 preference shares the full proceeds of redemption on the due date for payment or on certain events of insolvency of MMI.

5.4 Voting

Although the A3 preference shares are not listed on the JSE or NSX, they carry voting rights which rank pari passu with the MMI ordinary shares. This dispensation to permit voting rights to the A3 preference shares was granted by the JSE during 2004 and is subject to the following conditions, namely:

  • • the exercise of the voting rights of the A3 preference shares is entirely subject to the conditions of approval issued by the Listings Division of the JSE, in particular that the holder of the A3 preference shares be a black person or company;
  • • no further issue of A3 preference shares may be undertaken without the written consent of the JSE; and
  • • the holders of A3 preference shares may not veto any resolutions of MMI that would otherwise have been passed by the holders of MMI ordinary shares taken together with the holders of A3 preference shares.

5.5 Dividends

The holders of A3 preference shares shall be entitled to receive out of the profits of MMI a cumulative preferential cash dividend in the amount of R1.32 per annum per share, paid in equal amounts semiannually in arrear on each dividend date, namely 31 March and 30 September each year.

6. Salient terms of the 2012 Relationship Agreement

In anticipation of the proposed BEE restructuring, MMI, KTH, SPV and Newco entered into a new relationship agreement on 29 March 2012 in order to regulate their relationship post the BEE restructuring. The 2012 relationship agreement will become effective when all the suspensive conditions relating to the implementation of the BEE restructuring have been fulfilled.

The 2012 relationship agreement primarily provides, inter alia, for the following:

  • • An extended lock-in as follows:
    • o 76 million shares locked-in until 31 March 2015; and
    • o 50 million shares locked-in until 31 March 2017;
  • • Restrictions on KTH to participate in businesses that compete with MMI;
  • • KTH will continue to be entitled to nominate a representative for appointment to MMI's board; and
  • • KTH will remain a "black company" as defined in the Charter.

7. Financial effects

The unaudited pro forma financial information of MMI is the responsibility of the directors and was prepared in order to illustrate the effects of the proposed BEE restructuring, assuming that the proposed BEE restructuring took place to its full extent for purposes of the income statement for the six-month period started 1 July 2011 and ended 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2011 for purposes of the statement of financial position. The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and may not fairly present the financial position, changes in equity, results of operations and cashflows of MMI after the BEE restructuring.

Ernst & Young has reviewed and considered the terms and conditions of the BEE restructuring and, subject to the provisions contained in its opinion letter, Ernst & Young is of the opinion that the terms and conditions of the BEE restructuring are fair to shareholders. The text of Ernst & Young's opinion letter is set out in Annexure 2.

9. Conditions precedent

The BEE restructuring is subject to:

  • • the approval of all relevant resolutions in the notice of general meeting attached hereto by the requisite majority of votes at the general meeting, which resolutions are required in order to effect the amendment to the terms attaching to the A3 preference shares as detailed in this circular, and
  • • the lodgement of the relevant special resolutions with CIPC.

PART II – ODD-LOT AND VOLUNTARY REPURCHASE OFFER

1. Introduction and rationale for the offers

Following the merger and the subsequent unbundling by FirstRand of its entire shareholding in MMI to FirstRand ordinary shareholders, MMI acquired a significant number of additional shareholders, of which a number of minority shareholders hold 500 MMI ordinary shares or less.

In order to provide a mechanism for minority shareholders in MMI to realise their investment in MMI in a cost effective manner, the MMI directors are proposing the implementation of an odd-lot offer and a voluntary repurchase offer. In doing so MMI will be able to reduce the substantial and ongoing costs of administration connected with a large number of odd-lot and voluntary holders.

Any repurchase by MMI, namely the odd-lot offer and the voluntary repurchase offer, will be treated as:

  • • an acquisition of shares under a specific approval in terms of section 48 of the Companies Act; and
  • • a specific repurchase of shares in terms of the Listings Requirements.

The shareholders from whom MMI ordinary shares will be purchased in terms of:-

  • • the odd-lot offer, are all MMI shareholders who hold in aggregate less than 100 MMI ordinary shares as at the record date. As at the last practicable date, 4,915 shareholders were odd-lot holders; and
  • • the voluntary repurchase offer, are all MMI shareholders who hold in aggregate 100 to 500 MMI ordinary shares as at the record date. As at the last practicable date, 12,898 shareholders were voluntary holders.

The aggregate number of MMI ordinary shares held collectively as odd-lot holdings and voluntary holdings as at the last practicable date constituted approximately 0.2% of the total issued MMI ordinary shares.

Odd-lot holders and voluntary holders and their associates (as such term is defined in the Listing Requirements) will, in terms of the Listings Requirements, be excluded from voting in respect of the resolutions required to authorise and implement the offers, but will be entitled to vote in respect of the resolutions required to effect the amendment to MMI's memorandum of incorporation detailed in Part 1 of this circular.

2. Information relating to the odd-lot offer and voluntary repurchase offer

As at the last practicable date, 4,915 shareholders (odd-lot holders), being 15% of the total number of shareholders, hold less than 100 MMI ordinary shares each in the issued share capital of MMI. An additional 12,898 shareholders (voluntary holders), being 41% of the total number of shareholders, hold 100 to 500 MMI ordinary shares each. These shareholders hold approximately 2,915,526 MMI ordinary shares in aggregate, which constitutes approximately 0.2% of the total number of MMI ordinary shares in issue. In order to reduce the substantial and ongoing costs of administration connected with a large number of odd-lot and voluntary holders, and to provide them with a cost-free method of realising their investment in MMI, the directors are proposing the implementation of an odd-lot offer, and a voluntary repurchase offer to repurchase the MMI ordinary shares of shareholders holding from 100 to 500 MMI ordinary shares.

2.1. Odd-lot offer election criteria

In terms of the odd-lot offer, odd-lot holders may:

  • • elect to sell their odd-lot holdings for the cash consideration; or
  • • elect to retain their odd-lot holdings.

Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having chosen to sell their odd-lot holdings for the cash consideration.

2.2. Voluntary repurchase offer

In the case of voluntary holders, MMI is extending a voluntary repurchase offer to acquire their entire shareholding for a cash consideration.

Those voluntary holders who do not make an election will be regarded as not having chosen to sell their voluntary holding for the cash consideration and will retain their shareholding in MMI.

3. The offers

3.1. Record date

The record date to participate in the offers is the close of business on Friday, 20 July 2012. If a shareholder holds less than 100 MMI ordinary shares on the record date, such shareholder is an odd-lot holder and as such is entitled to take part in the odd-lot offer. A shareholder with a holding of 100 to 500 MMI ordinary shares on the record date is a voluntary holder and as such is entitled to take part in the voluntary repurchase offer. Shareholders will not be advised individually as to whether they are entitled to take part in the offers, and accordingly each shareholder must determine this for his or her own account. No further documentation will be sent to shareholders in this regard.

3.2. Last day to trade

Shareholders are advised that the last day to trade in order to take part in the offers will be Friday, 13 July 2012.

Any shareholder who sells down to below 100 MMI ordinary shares after the last day to trade will not be treated as an odd-lot holder for the purposes of the odd-lot offer. If an odd-lot holder acquires additional MMI ordinary shares by close of business on the last date to trade, and the odd-lot holder's shareholding at the close of the business on that day exceeds 99 but is not greater than 500 MMI ordinary shares as a result of such acquisition, then the shareholder will be a voluntary holder and will be entitled to participate in the voluntary repurchase offer. If such holding exceeds 500 shares, however, the shareholder will not be entitled to participate in the voluntary repurchase offer.

3.3. Right of refusal

In terms of the offers, MMI shall be entitled to refuse to implement the repurchase of MMI ordinary shares pursuant to the offers in respect of any odd-lot holder or voluntary holder whom MMI reasonably believes has become an odd-lot holder or voluntary holder (as the case may be) in order to take advantage of the odd-lot offer or the voluntary repurchase offer, and such odd-lot holder or voluntary holder will have no claim against MMI arising out of or in connection with such refusal.

3.4. Offer price

The offer price per share will be calculated using the VWAP over the 5 (five) trading days commencing on Thursday 28 June 2012 and ending on Wednesday, 4 July 2012 plus a 10% premium. Shareholders who elect to sell their MMI ordinary shares in terms of the offers for a cash consideration will receive the offer price per MMI ordinary share sold.

3.5. Compulsory sale of odd-lot holdings (DOES NOT APPLY TO THE VOLUNTARY OFFER)

MMI will repurchase the odd-lot holdings of any odd-lot holder who does not make an election to accept the cash consideration or to retain their shareholding.

Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having elected to accept the cash consideration.

It is important to note that this section does not apply to the voluntary repurchase offer.

3.6. Transaction costs

  • 3.6.1. Odd-lot holders and voluntary holders will not have to bear any transaction costs.
  • 3.6.2. The transfer costs of odd-lot holders and voluntary holders who sell their holdings to MMI (being securities transfer tax) will be borne by MMI.
  • 3.6.3. MMI, by proposing the offers, is therefore making it possible for the odd-lot holders and voluntary holders who wish to dispose of their shareholding to do so in a cost effective manner.

3.7. Mechanism

  • 3.7.1. The offers will be open for acceptance from 12:00 on Thursday, 7 June 2012 and will close at 12:00 on Friday, 20 July 2012. All odd-lot holders as at the record date will be entitled to participate in the odd-lot offer, and all voluntary holders as at the record date will be entitled to take part in the voluntary repurchase offer. The procedure on how such shareholders must make their choice (election and surrender procedure) is set out in paragraph 3.8. below.
  • 3.7.2. The MMI ordinary shares of those odd-lot holders who elect to accept the cash consideration will be repurchased by MMI at the offer price. Any such repurchase will be regarded as a specific repurchase of shares in terms of the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements.
  • 3.7.3. Odd-lot holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having elected to sell their odd-lot holding, without any further action on their part and without any further notice to them and their shares will be repurchased by MMI at the offer price. Any such repurchase will be regarded as a specific repurchase of shares in terms of the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements.
  • 3.7.4. The MMI ordinary shares of those voluntary holders who elect to accept the cash consideration will be repurchased by MMI at the offer price. Any such repurchase will be regarded as a specific repurchase in terms of section 48 of the Companies Act and the Listings Requirements.
  • 3.7.5. Voluntary holders who do not make an election will retain their shareholdings in MMI.

3.8. Election and surrender procedure

  • 3.8.1. The choice made by odd-lot holders and voluntary holders is final and may not be withdrawn once made.
  • 3.8.2. Certificated odd-lot holders must complete the attached form of election and surrender (blue) and return it to the transfer secretaries, to be received by no later than 12:00 on Friday, 20 July 2012. Certificated voluntary holders must complete the attached form of election and surrender (green) and return it to the transfer secretaries, to be received by no later than 12:00 on Friday, 20 July 2012.
  • 3.8.3. Dematerialised odd-lot holders and dematerialised voluntary holders should instruct their CSDP or broker as to what action they wish to take in the time and manner stipulated in the agreement entered into between them and their CSDP or broker. Dematerialised odd-lot

holders and dematerialised voluntary holders must NOT return their respective forms of election and surrender to the transfer secretaries.

3.8.4. Odd-lot holders who do not make an election should note that their odd-lot holdings will be repurchased by MMI without any further action on their part and without any further notice to them. However, until such certificated odd-lot holders make a claim, the money owing to them (being the proceeds from the sale of their odd-lot holdings) will be held by the Company on their behalf.

All unclaimed proceeds of such repurchase may be invested or otherwise made use of by the directors for the benefit of the Company until claimed, provided that any such proceeds unclaimed for a period of 3 (three) years from the date on which the directors caused the oddlots to be sold may be declared forfeited by the directors for the benefit of the Company.

  • 3.8.5. If any documents of title of certificated odd-lot holders or certificated voluntary holders have been lost or destroyed and the odd-lot holder or voluntary holder concerned produces evidence to this effect to the satisfaction of the transfer secretaries and the Company, then the transfer secretaries, subject to obtaining MMI's consent, may dispense with the surrender of such existing documents of title against provision of an acceptable indemnity.
  • 3.8.6. Receipts for the surrender of documents of title of certificated odd-lot holders and certificated voluntary holders will be issued only on request. In compliance with the Listings Requirements, lodging agents are requested to prepare special transaction receipts if required.
  • 3.8.7. Odd-lot holders not making an election to retain their odd-lot holdings should note that their share certificates will no longer be good for trading after the last day to trade, other than to receive the proceeds of the sale of such shares (being the offer price), upon surrender.
  • 3.8.8. Subject to the implementation of the offers, it will be necessary for certificated odd-lot holders and certificated voluntary holders who have elected to sell their odd-lot holdings or voluntary holdings (as the case may be) to submit all existing documents of title under cover of the attached form of election and surrender to the transfer secretaries. The election to sell must be exercised by either completing the relevant option set out in the appropriate form of election and surrender (blue for odd-lot holders and green for voluntary holders), or (in the case of oddlot holders) by not responding. Those odd-lot holders and voluntary holders who elect to retain their shares by completing the relevant option set out in the attached form of election and surrender (blue for odd-lot holders and green for voluntary holders), should retain their current share certificates in respect of their odd-lot holdings and voluntary holdings (as the case may be).
  • 3.8.9. Nominee companies will be treated as a single shareholder, but should a nominee company choose to dispose of odd-lot and/or voluntary holdings on behalf of principals whose shareholdings constitute odd-lot or voluntary holdings, it may do so by applying in writing to the transfer secretaries. Such written applications should contain details of the number of shares involved, such application to be received by no later than 12:00 on Friday, 20 July 2012.
  • 3.8.10. For those odd-lot holders and voluntary holders who elect to accept the cash consideration, all forms of election and surrender received by the transfer secretaries by no later than 12:00 on Friday, 20 July 2012 will be processed and payment will be made by electronic fund transfers into the shareholder's bank account on or about Monday, 23 July 2012, if such shareholder has

provided the banking details on the form. Alternatively, if the shareholder has not provided its banking details on the form, cheques will be posted on or about Monday, 23 July 2012, by ordinary post, to the respective shareholders at the risk of such shareholders. For certificated odd-lot holders who do not make an election and are accordingly deemed to have elected to sell their odd-lot holdings, all claims for payment of the proceeds of such sale that are received after 12:00 on Friday, 20 July 2012 will be processed within 5 (five) business days of receipt of the claim and payment will be made by cheque which will be posted by ordinary post to the shareholder at the risk of such shareholder.

3.8.11. In respect of dematerialised odd-lot holders and dematerialised voluntary holders who elect to participate in the offers or in the case of odd-lot holders who fail to make an election, their accounts held at their CSDP or broker will be credited with the cash consideration on or about Monday, 23 July 2012.

4. Source of funds

MMI's existing cash resources will be utilised to satisfy any cash requirements arising out of the offers.

5. Tax consequences for shareholders selling their shares in MMI in terms of the offers

Below is a high-level summary of the potential tax consequences arising for shareholders who are odd-lot holders and specific holders in respect of the disposal of MMI ordinary shares by way of a specific share repurchase by MMI in terms of the offers. The summary of the tax implications serves as a general guide and is not intended to constitute a complete analysis of the tax consequences of the repurchase under South African tax law. 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 particular circumstances from their personal tax advisors.

In general, the cash consideration paid by MMI to shareholders pursuant to the specific share repurchase under the offers should constitute a "dividend" in the hands of such MMI shareholders, as no portion of the repurchase price will consist of contributed tax capital in this particular instance.

The "dividend" should constitute an "exempt dividend" as contemplated in section 10(1)(k)(i) of the Income Tax Act (unless one of the specific exclusions apply).The dividend will, however, be subject to the withholding of dividends tax at a rate of 15% of the dividend paid to the shareholder, unless a specific exemption from dividends tax applies.

6. Financial effects

The unaudited pro forma financial information of MMI is the responsibility of the directors and was prepared in order to illustrate the effects of the offers, assuming that the offers took place to their fullest extent possible, for purposes of the income statement for the six-month period starting 1 July 2011 and ended 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2011 for purposes of the statement of financial position. The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with IFRS and in accordance with the accounting policies adopted by MMI. Please refer to Annexure 5 for the details of the impact of the offers.

Assuming a maximum number of 2,915,526 MMI ordinary shares are repurchased in terms of the offers, the financial cost is expected to be R56 million. MMI will forego an estimated R1 million in interest income for the six month ended 31 December 2011 as a result of the implementation of the offers.

Please refer below, where the pro forma financial effects on the EPS and HEPS for the period ended 31 December 2011, NAV and TNAV at 31 December 2011 due to the offers have been summarised:

Before the offer Pro Forma after the offer % Movement
EPS (cents) 54 54 0.00
HEPS (cents) 54 54 0.00
NAV per share (cents) 1,532 1,531 -0.07
TNAV per share (cents) 730 728 -0.27
Weighted average number
of shares in issue (millions) 1,489 1,486 -0.20

The independent accountants' report on the pro forma financial information is set out in Annexure 3 of this circular. Refer to Annexure 5 of this circular for detailed notes and assumptions on the preparation of the financial effects.

7. Effect on share capital

The maximum number of shares which potentially could be repurchased by MMI if all odd-lot holders and voluntary holders sell their holdings to MMI will not exceed 2,915,526 MMI ordinary shares.

The repurchase of odd-lot and voluntary holdings will have no material effect on MMI's issued share capital and the repurchased shares will be cancelled.

8. Conditions precedent

Subject to:

  • • the requirements of section 48 (read with section 46) of the Companies Act,
  • • the special resolution authorising the specific repurchase in terms of the offers and the ordinary resolution authorising the directors to make and implement the odd-lot offer and the voluntary repurchase offer being passed by shareholders at the general meeting; and
  • • the lodgement of the relevant special resolutions with CIPC,

all MMI ordinary shares sold by odd-lot holders and voluntary holders in terms of the offers will be repurchased by MMI as a specific share repurchase in terms of section 48 (read with section 46) of the Companies Act and the provisions of the Listings Requirements.

9. Non-resident shareholders

The making of the offers in, or to, shareholders resident in jurisdictions outside South Africa, or to persons who are, or are nominees of or trustees for, citizens, residents or nationals of other countries, may be affected by the laws of the relevant country in which they reside. Such persons must acquaint themselves with and observe any applicable legal requirements. It is the responsibility of any such person wishing to accept the odd-lot offer or voluntary repurchase offer to satisfy himself as to the full observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith, including obtaining any governmental or other consents which may be required or the compliance with other necessary formalities and the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction. Any such shareholder will be responsible for any such issue, transfer or other taxes outside South Africa by whomsoever payable.

10. Prohibited period

In terms of the Listings Requirements MMI and/or its subsidiaries may not repurchase any shares in a prohibited period unless MMI and/or its subsidiaries has in place a specific repurchase programme, where dates and quantities of shares to be traded during the prohibited period are fixed and full details of the programme have been disclosed in an announcement over SENS prior to the commencement of the prohibited period. MMI will be in a closed period (which forms part of the definition of 'prohibited period' in terms of the Listings Requirements) at the time of repurchase, however it will comply with the provisions of the Listings Requirements as the details of the repurchase will be announced prior to the commencement of the closed period.

PART III – ADDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED

1. Exchange control regulations

The following is a summary of the South African Exchange Control Regulations. If in doubt, shareholders should consult their professional advisers without delay.

1.1. Emigrants from the common monetary area

A cheque in respect of cash arising from the sale of an odd-lot holding or a voluntary holding will be forwarded to the authorised dealer in foreign exchange in South Africa controlling the shareholder's blocked assets for credit to the shareholder's blocked rand account.

The attached forms of election and surrender (blue for odd-lot holders and green for voluntary holders) make provision for details of the authorised dealer concerned to be given.

If the information regarding the authorised dealers is not given, any cash will be held by MMI for the oddlot holders and voluntary holders concerned pending receipt of the necessary information or instructions. No interest will be paid on any cash so held.

1.2. All other non-residents of the common monetary area

A cheque in respect of cash arising from the sale of an odd-lot holding or a voluntary holding will be forwarded to the shareholder's authorised dealer in foreign exchange. Where the shareholder does not have an authorised dealer in South Africa, a cheque will be posted, at the risk of such shareholder, to the address of such shareholder in the share register on the record date.

The attached forms of election and surrender (blue for odd-lot holders and green for voluntary holders) make provision for details of the authorised dealer concerned to be given.

All CSDPs and brokers with whom shares have been dematerialised should note that they are required to comply with the South African Exchange Control Regulations set out above.

2. Nature of business of MMI

MMI, after the merger, is constituted by two sizeable insurance-based financial services groups based in South Africa, with operations in southern, west and east Africa. The group was founded in 1898 and has been listed since 1986 on the JSE and NSX.

Notwithstanding the merger, both the Metropolitan and Momentum brand names have been retained and continue to be used as client focussed brands in the appropriate business units.

The complementary nature of the Metropolitan and Momentum business units within MMI positions MMI as a performance and cost-driven entity with a strong focus on products and service excellence.

The core businesses of MMI are long-term insurance, asset management, investment, healthcare administration and employee benefits. Product solutions are provided to all market segments.

MMI continues to operate the Metropolitan and Momentum brands separately under the following 6 divisions:

• Metropolitan Retail

The business life-event and lifestyle-based products and services are tailored to the needs of customers in the entry level markets and are distributed mainly via three channels, namely personal financial advisers (tied agents), independent intermediaries (brokers) and wholesale. The latter has two key areas of focus, being corporate clients and call centres. Retail strives to provide customer-aligned service of an advisory and administrative nature, as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible.

• Momentum Retail

This business targets the upper income market and is responsible for the administration of Momentum's policy book, new individual life recurring business and loyalty programmes, as well as the broker distribution and agency sales channel for other business divisions.

• Metropolitan Health

The health business provides medical scheme administration and managed care solutions, including customised outsourced administration, system licensing and integrated or stand-alone health risk management solutions. Metropolitan Health is the largest administrator of closed medical schemes in South Africa. At the end of 30 June 2011, it had 1.2 million principal members under administration (representing over three million lives). Metropolitan Health is relentless in its pursuit of service excellence, cost savings and enhanced efficiencies, as well as being a strong proponent of public/private partnerships.

• Momentum Employee Benefits

Caters for all aspects of retirement fund business, including investment, risk management, administration and actuarial consulting for the mega, large, medium and small enterprise markets. Both Metropolitan and Momentum have been, and will continue to be, retained as client-facing brands in the appropriate segments of the market.

• Metropolitan International

The international cluster comprises businesses in twelve African countries outside South Africa, namely Botswana, Ghana, Kenya, Lesotho, Malawi, Mauritius, Mozambique, Namibia, Nigeria, Swaziland, Tanzania and Zambia. The southern countries all have well-established businesses, while the western and eastern countries have new operations which are a mixture of joint venture partnerships, acquisitions and green fields operations. The business written throughout Africa is mainly of a retail nature on either an individual or a voluntary group basis. Retirement funding and health administration financial solutions are also offered in certain countries and the business in Namibia includes asset management and unit trust capabilities as well.

• Momentum Investments

Incorporates all the asset management businesses of Momentum and Metropolitan, including the Londonbased operation. This covers the multi-management businesses (Advantage and FirstRand Alternative Investment Management), RMB Unit Trusts and Momentum Specialised Insurance (providing structured insurance solutions to corporate clients) as well as Metropolitan on balance sheet business, third party funds, collective investments and property management and administration.

3. Prospects for the business of MMI

Each division has embarked on a detailed strategic planning and integration process to identify and optimise structures, operations, target markets, distribution channels and product offerings. A number of opportunities were identified during the integration process, with merger synergies which started to flow through during the second half of the 2011 calendar year.

The MMI group reported satisfactory value of new business (R311m) written during the six months under review. This demonstrates the MMI group's strong distribution capability and bodes well for future new business growth prospects. Growth in new business volumes will, however, remain dependent on the economic environment, including a recovery in employment and disposable income levels. Africa, although a complex market, remains largely untapped and provides a number of opportunities for the MMI group throughout its footprint in 12 countries outside of South Africa. All business units face opportunities and threats posed by on-going changes in the highly regulated environments in which they operate, including the national health insurance and national social security reform proposals. The board of MMI believes that the MMI group has begun implementing the appropriate strategies to unlock value and generate a satisfactory return on capital for shareholders over time.

4. Material changes

There have been no material changes in the financial or trading position of MMI and its subsidiaries since the publication of MMI's unaudited interim results for the six months ended 31 December 2011.

INDEPENDENT EXPERT'S OPINION

The Directors 11 May 2012 MMI Holdings Limited Mispel Road Parc Du Cap Bellville 7535

Dear Sirs

Fairness opinion relating to the proposed restructuring of the empowerment transaction between MMI Holdings Limited ("MMI") and Kagiso Tiso Holdings Proprietary Limited (RF) ("KTH"), through Off The Shelf Investments 108 Proprietary Limited ("SPV") and Off The Shelf Investments 109 Proprietary Limited ("Newco").

Introduction and BEE restructuring

The definitions outlined in the "Definitions" section of the circular to which this opinion is attached have been used throughout this opinion, unless otherwise indicated.

MMI wishes to facilitate the refinancing of the BEE transaction, through the BEE restructuring as set out in the circular to which this opinion is attached.

Scope

The BEE restructuring involves the amendment of a previously approved BEE transaction and includes the conversion and extension of existing preference shares and in this regard a fairness opinion is required to be provided for any variation or restructuring of an existing agreement in relation to the BEE transaction where there are unlisted voting instruments, in terms of the JSE listings requirements.

In this context, the Board of MMI has appointed Ernst & Young Advisory Services Limited ("Ernst & Young") to advise it as to the fairness of the terms of the BEE restructuring.

Responsibility

Compliance with the JSE regulations is the responsibility of the MMI Board. Our responsibility is to report on the terms and conditions of the BEE restructuring.

We confirm that our fairness opinion has been provided to the MMI Board for the sole purpose of assisting the MMI Board in forming and expressing an opinion for the benefit of the MMI shareholders.

Definition of fairness

A transaction will generally be considered fair to a company's shareholders if the benefits received by the shareholders, as a result of the transaction, are equal to or greater than the value surrendered by the shareholders.

The assessment of fairness is primarily based on quantitative matters. The BEE restructuring may be considered fair if the value to MMI shareholders expected to be derived from the BEE restructuring is expected to be equal to or greater than the value surrendered by the MMI shareholders.

A transaction is generally fair if the cost in terms of that transaction is equal to or less than the benefit of the shares which form the subject matter of the transaction.

A transaction is generally unfair if the cost in terms of that transaction is greater than the benefit of the shares which form part of the subject matter of the transaction.

In opining on whether or not the BEE restructuring is fair to the shareholders of MMI, we have assumed that the Financial Benefit and the Economic Cost, which is a benefit and a cost to the Company, is representative of the cost and benefit to the shareholders of MMI.

Sources of Information

In arriving at our opinion we have utilised the following information:

  • • RMB presentation to the MMI BEE subcommittee dated February 2012;
  • • The circular relating to the BEE restructuring;
  • • Publicly available information relating to MMI and its peers that Ernst & Young deemed to be relevant, including discussions with market participants and fund managers;
  • • Discussions with RMB and MMI management;
  • • "Second Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement" between MMI, KTI, Newco and SPV;
  • • "2012 Amended and Restated Relationship Agreement" between MMI, KTH, Newco and SPV;
  • • "Restructure Agreement" between MMI, KTH, Newco and SPV; and
  • • "Term Sheet Annexure B Restructure Agreement", provided to us by MMI management.
  • • A3 MMI Prefs Amendment Agreement

Procedures performed

In arriving at our opinion we have undertaken the following procedures:

  • • Reviewed the information outlined in Part 1 of the circular to which this opinion is attached;
  • • Performed a valuation of the various options embedded in the A1 preference shares, A2 preference shares and A3 preference shares;
  • • Assessed the financial impact on MMI of the immediate conversion of the A1 preference shares and A2 preference shares to MMI ordinary shares, by determining the Present Value of the differential dividend flows related to the respective instruments;
  • • Assessed the impact of extending the term on the A3 preference shares by determining the Present Value of the differential dividend flows on the A3 preference shares and the equivalent MMI ordinary shares;
  • • Determined the cost to MMI of the implied put option resulting from the extension of the A3 preference shares;
  • • Assessed the cost and benefit of extending the A3 SPV preference shares, including the economic cost to MMI of remaining invested in the A3 SPV preference shares;
  • • Analysed the appropriateness of the listed MMI share price, by considering the:
    • o The long term discount to embedded value per share of the MMI share price; and
    • o The long term discount to embedded value of comparable companies to MMI.
  • • Considered the benefit of the extended SPV lock-ins (the restrictions imposed through the BEE restructuring on the SPV's ability to dispose of certain of its MMI ordinary shares) in terms of the likelihood and impact of the loss of empowerment ownership credentials to MMI; and
  • • Where practical, we have considered the relative cost of replacing KTH as MMI's strategic BEE partner.

We have corroborated the reasonableness of the information provided to us (where practical), for the purpose of supporting our Opinion, whether received in writing or obtained in discussion with Management of MMI, and we are satisfied with the appropriateness of such information.

Valuation

The principle valuation methodologies used include:

  • • Black Scholes option pricing model to value the call options relating to A1 preference share, A2 preference shares and A3 preference shares;
  • • Black Scholes option pricing model to value the implied put option relating to the extension of the A3 preference shares;
  • • DCF method to value the differential dividend cashflows payable by MMI under the existing BEE structure and the BEE restructuring; and
  • • Listed MMI share price, taking into account the liquidity and the appropriateness of the MMI price in relation to the discount to embedded value.

Opinion

In arriving at our opinion we have considered the following significant factors:

  • • The incremental cost to MMI of the immediate conversion of the A1 and A2 preference shares to MMI ordinary shares (i.e. the Present Value of the differential dividend flows applicable to A1 and A2 preference shares and the equivalent MMI ordinary shares);
  • • The net benefit of extending the options on the A3 preference shares (i.e. the Present Value of the differential dividend flows applicable to A3 preference shares and the equivalent MMI ordinary shares);
  • • The cost and benefit of extending the A3 SPV preference shares, including the economic cost to MMI of staying invested in the A3 SPV preference shares; and
  • • The financial benefits of limiting the dilution of MMI's BEE ownership credentials as well as retaining KTH as MMI's strategic BEE partner, as a result of the BEE restructuring.

Based upon and subject to the conditions set out below, we are of the opinion that the BEE restructuring is fair to MMI shareholders.

This opinion does not purport to cater for each individual shareholder's circumstances and/or risk profile, but rather that of the general body of MMI shareholders taken as a whole. Each shareholder's decision will be influenced by such shareholder's particular circumstances and accordingly shareholders should consult with an independent advisor if they are in any doubt as to the merits or otherwise of the BEE restructuring.

Use of this opinion

This opinion is provided solely for the use of the MMI board and MMI shareholders in connection with and for the purpose of their consideration of the BEE restructuring. This opinion shall not, in whole or in part, be disclosed, reproduced, disseminated, quoted, summarised or referred to at any time, in any manner or for any purpose, nor shall any public references to Ernst & Young or Ernst & Young Advisory Services Limited be made by MMI or any of its affiliates, without the prior consent of Ernst & Young Advisory Services Limited.

Limiting conditions

We have relied upon the accuracy of the information used by us in deriving our opinion albeit that, where practicable, we have corroborated the reasonableness of such information through, amongst other things, reference to work performed by independent third party/ies, historic precedent or our own knowledge and understanding. While our work has involved an analysis of the annual financial statements and other information provided to us, our engagement does not constitute, nor does it include, an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Accordingly, we assume no responsibility and make no representations with respect to the accuracy of any information provided to us in respect of MMI.

The opinion expressed above is necessarily based upon the information available to us, the financial, regulatory, securities market and other conditions and circumstances existing and disclosed to us as at the date hereof. We have assumed that all conditions precedent in the transaction agreements, including any material regulatory and other approvals required in connection with the proposed transaction, have been or will be properly fulfilled/obtained. Subsequent developments may affect our opinion, however, we are under no obligation to update, revise or re-affirm such.

Independence and consent to publication

We have been retained by the MMI board as an independent advisor to the board and shareholders in connection with the BEE restructuring and we will receive a fixed fee for the services provided in connection herewith, which fee is payable upon delivery of this opinion. We confirm that, other than the aforementioned, we have no interest, direct or indirect, beneficial or non-beneficial, in MMI or in the success or failure of the BEE restructuring which forms the subject matter hereof.

We hereby consent to this letter and the references thereto being made public to holders of MMI shares in the form and context in which they are to be published in the document to shareholders on or about 18 May 2012. We confirm that we have given and have not withdrawn our consent prior to the issue of the said document to MMI shareholders.

Yours faithfully,

Steve Alt Director Ernst & Young Advisory Services Limited

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANT'S REPORT

The Board of Directors MMI Holdings Limited 268 West Avenue Centurion 0046

11 May 2012

Dear Sirs

Independent reporting accountants' limited assurance report on the unaudited pro forma financial information of MMI Holdings Limited ("the Company")

1. Introduction

MMI Holdings Limited is issuing a circular to its shareholders ("the Circular") regarding its proposed BEE restructuring and repurchase offer ("the Proposed Transaction").

At your request and for the purposes of the Circular to be dated on or about 18 May 2012, we present our limited assurance report on the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position as at 31 December 2011, the unaudited pro forma statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended 31 December 2011 and unaudited pro forma financial effects ("the unaudited pro forma financial information") of the Company presented in paragraph 7 of part I, paragraph 6 of part II and Annexures 4, 5 and 6 to the Circular.

The unaudited pro forma financial information has been prepared in accordance with the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements, for illustrative purposes only, to provide information about how the Proposed Transaction might have affected the reported historical financial information presented, had the Proposed Transaction been undertaken at the commencement of the period or date of the unaudited pro forma statement of financial position being reported on.

2. Directors' responsibility

The directors of the Company are responsible for the compilation, contents and presentation of the unaudited pro forma financial information contained in the Circular, and for the financial information from which it has been prepared. Their responsibility includes determining that: the unaudited pro forma financial information contained in the Circular has been properly compiled on the basis stated; the basis is consistent with the accounting policies of the Company; and the pro forma adjustments are appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information disclosed in terms of the JSE Listings Requirements.

3. Reporting accountants' responsibility

Our responsibility is to express our limited assurance conclusion on the unaudited pro forma financial information included in the Circular. We conducted our limited assurance engagement in accordance with ISAE 3000 (Revised): International Standard on Assurance Engagements applicable to Assurance Engagements Other Than Audits or Reviews of Historical Financial Information and the Guide on Pro forma Financial Information issued by the South African Institute of Chartered Accountants. This standard requires us to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence on which to base our limited assurance conclusion.

We do not accept any responsibility for any reports previously given by us on any financial information used in the compilation of the unaudited pro forma financial information, beyond that owed to those to whom those reports were addressed by us at the dates of their issue.

4. Sources of information and work performed

Our procedures consisted primarily of comparing the unadjusted financial information of the Company with the source documents, considering the pro forma adjustments in light of the accounting policies of the Company, considering the evidence supporting the unaudited pro forma adjustments and discussing the adjusted unaudited pro forma financial information with the directors of the Company in respect of the Proposed Transaction that is the subject of the Circular.

In arriving at our limited assurance conclusion, we have relied upon financial information prepared by the directors of the Company and other information from various public, financial and industry sources.

While our work performed involved an analysis of the historical financial information and other information provided to us, our limited assurance engagement does not constitute either an audit or review of any of the underlying financial information conducted in accordance with the International Standards on Auditing or the International Standards on Review Engagements and, accordingly, we do not express an audit or review opinion.

In a limited assurance engagement, the evidence-gathering procedures are more limited than for a reasonable assurance engagement and therefore less assurance is obtained than in a reasonable assurance engagement. We believe our evidence obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our limited assurance conclusion.

5. Conclusion

Based on our examination of the evidence obtained, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that:

  • • the unaudited pro forma financial information has not been properly compiled on the basis stated;
  • • such basis is inconsistent with the accounting policies of the Company; and
  • • the adjustments are not appropriate for the purposes of the unaudited pro forma financial information as disclosed pursuant to Sections 8.17 and 8.30 of the JSE Listings Requirements.

Yours faithfully

PricewaterhouseCoopers Inc Director: HD Nel Registered Auditor

Notes to the income statement:

    1. The "Before" column represents MMI Holdings Limited group's financial information for the 6 months ended 31 December 2011, and has been extracted, without adjustment from the published December 2011 unaudited interim results of MMI Holdings Limited group.
    1. The "BEE restructuring" column represents the impact of the BEE restructuring transaction and has an ongoing effect:
    • 2.1 The SPV converts the A1 and A2 MMI preference shares into MMI ordinary shares, resulting in a reduction of preference share dividends (accounted for as finance costs) of R15 million. The impact of additional interest income, and the related tax impact, is negligible and has been ignored for these purposes. No adjustment was made to dividends paid on MMI ordinary shares. This also results in the basic weighted average number of shares increasing by 65.7 million shares.
    • 2.2 Both the A3 MMI preference shares and the A3 SPV preference shares are extended for a period of five years. The dividend rate per annum payable by MMI on the A3 MMI preference shares will be R1.32 per share, resulting in a saving of R9 million in finance costs. The net impact of interest income on this saving and the extension of the A3 SPV preference shares, and the related tax impact, is negligible and has been ignored for these purposes.

Transaction costs of R5 million (R4 million net of taxation of 28%) have been taken into account.

    1. Core headline earnings are a measure of the performance that is used by MMI in addition to earnings and headline earnings as it is seen by the directors of MMI as an appropriate measure. Core headline earnings eliminate items of both a once-off and an inherently volatile nature such as changes to the valuation basis, investment variances, capital appreciation/depreciation, Secondary Tax on Companies and the amortisation of any intangible assets recognised due to business combinations.
    1. The diluted weighted average number of shares before the BEE restructuring transaction assumes that all the MMI preference shares would convert into MMI ordinary shares on a one-for-one basis. This represents the fully diluted effect of these preference shares.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF FINANCIAL POSITION

The unaudited pro forma financial information of MMI is the responsibility of the directors and was prepared in order to illustrate the effects of the proposed BEE restructuring assuming that the proposed BEE restructuring took place to its full extent on 1 July 2011 for purposes of the income statement for the six-month period ended 31 December 2011 and at 31 December 2011 for purposes of the statement of financial position. The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared for illustrative purposes only and may not fairly present the financial position, changes in equity, results of operations and cashflows of MMI after the BEE restructuring. The unaudited pro forma financial effects have been prepared using accounting policies that are consistent with IFRS and in terms of the accounting policies adopted by MMI.

Notes to the income statement:

    1. The "Before" column represents MMI Holdings Limited group's financial information for the 6 months ended 31 December 2011, and has been extracted, without adjustment from the published December 2011 unaudited interim results of MMI Holdings Limited group.
    1. The "Odd-lot offer and voluntary offer" column represents the impact of the odd-lot offer and voluntary offer as follows and has an ongoing effect:
    • 2.1 All odd-lot offer shareholders are assumed to sell their odd-lot holdings (less than 100 shares) to MMI at the offer price, totalling R3 million.
    • 2.2 100% of the voluntary holdings (100 to 500 shares) are assumed to be sold by the voluntary shareholders to MMI at the offer price, totalling R53 million.

The total costs associated with the offers are expected to be R56 million which has been taken into account. The offer price assumed for pro forma purposes is R19.07 (based on the closing MMI share price on 8 May 2012 of R17.34 plus 10%); the actual offer price is defined in this circular. The impact of the offers results in a loss of interest income of R1 million on an assumed 5% interest rate (based on MMI Holdings Limited's actual average interest rate earned on cash during the six months from 1 July to 31 December 2011) before tax (tax impact is negligible) and a reduction of 3 million in the weighted average number of shares.

  1. Core headline earnings are a measure of the performance that is used by MMI in addition to earnings and headline earnings as it is seen by the directors of MMI as an appropriate measure. Core headline earnings eliminate items of both a once-off and an inherently volatile nature such as changes to the valuation basis, investment variances, capital appreciation/depreciation, Secondary Tax on Companies and the amortisation of any intangible assets recognised due to business combinations.

Notes to the income statement:

  1. The "Before" column represents MMI Holdings Limited group's financial information for the 6 months ended 31 December 2011, and has been extracted, without adjustment from the published December 2011 unaudited interim results of MMI Holdings Limited group.

  2. The "Odd-lot offer and voluntary offer" column represents the impact of the odd-lot offer and voluntary offer as follows:

  • 2.1 All odd-lot offer shareholders are assumed to sell their odd-lot holdings (less than 100 shares) to MMI at the offer price, totalling R3 million.
  • 2.2 100% of the voluntary holdings (100 to 500 shares) are assumed to be sold by the voluntary shareholders to MMI at the offer price, totalling R53 million.

The total costs associated with the offers are expected to be R56 million which has been taken into account. The offer price assumed for pro forma purposes is R19.07 (based on the closing MMI share price on 8 May 2012 of R17.34 plus 10%); the actual offer price is defined in this circular. The impact of the offers results in a loss of interest income of R1 million on an assumed 5% interest rate (based on MMI Holdings Limited's actual average interest rate earned on cash during the six months from 1 July to 31 December 2011) before tax (tax impact is negligible) and a reduction of 3 million in the weighted average number of shares.

    1. The "BEE restructuring" column represents the impact of the BEE restructuring transaction and has an on-going effect:
    • 3.1 The SPV converts the A1 and A2 MMI preference shares into MMI ordinary shares, resulting in a reduction of preference share dividends (accounted for as finance costs) of R15 million. The impact of additional interest income, and the related tax impact, is negligible and has been ignored for these purposes. No adjustment was made to dividends paid on MMI ordinary shares. This also results in the basic weighted average number of shares increasing by 65.7 million shares.
    • 3.2 Both the A3 MMI preference shares and the A3 SPV preference shares are extended for a period of five years. The dividend rate per annum payable by MMI on the A3 MMI preference shares will be R1.32 per share, resulting in a saving of R9 million in finance costs. The net impact of interest income on this saving and the extension of the A3 SPV preference shares, and the related tax impact, is negligible and has been ignored for these purposes.

Transaction costs of R5 million (R4 million net of taxation of 28%) have been taken into account.

  1. Core headline earnings are a measure of the performance that is used by MMI in addition to earnings and headline earnings as it is seen by the directors of MMI as an appropriate measure. Core headline earnings eliminate items of both a once-off and an inherently volatile nature such as changes to the valuation basis, investment variances, capital appreciation/depreciation, Secondary Tax on Companies and the amortisation of any intangible assets recognised due to business combinations.

STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF KING CODE REPORT

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE OF MMI

Board

The MMI group has a fully functional unitary board. The board structures have roles and responsibilities as set out below.

Role and functions

The board is ultimately responsible and accountable for the affairs and performance of the MMI group, and also for ensuring the sustainability of the group's existence into the future. This responsibility is executed through the delegation of authority to board committees and management.

The functions and responsibilities of the board committees are described comprehensively in their terms of reference, while the powers delegated to management are prescribed and include limited financial decision-making capacity without prior approval by the board.

The board's role includes but is not limited to the following:

  • • ensuring that appropriate systems and procedures are in place to enable the group to conduct its business in an honest, ethical and responsible manner;
  • • ensuring that effective audit, risk management and compliance measures are in place across all businesses;
  • • reviewing, assessing and guiding management in setting group strategy and drawing up business plans;
  • • reviewing and approving all strategic and significant investment acquisitions and disinvestments as well as other substantial capital expenditure of the group;
  • • reviewing and approving corporate plans, financial policies and operating budgets as well as monitoring financial performance;
  • • ensuring accurate, concise, transparent and timely reporting to shareholders;
  • • exercising overriding control over the business of the group; and
  • • exercising independent judgement on issues facing the group.

Composition

Johnson ("JJ") Njeke, a non-executive director, was appointed chairman of the board on 22 November 2011. The group chief executive, Nicolaas Kruger, assisted by his deputy, two executive directors and an executive management team, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the group. The roles of group chairman and group chief executive are segregated in accordance with the principles of good corporate governance:

  • • The chairman manages the board and provides effective leadership in setting strategic direction.
  • • Appropriate governance principles are adopted and implemented at board meetings, and conflicts of interest are managed properly. The board has also appointed a deputy chairman who will act as a lead director to, amongst other duties, chair board meetings when the chairman is conflicted.
  • • Non-executive directors do not hold service contracts and their remuneration is subject to shareholder approval.
  • • All the members of the board's audit committee are independent non-executive directors. The majority of the directors serving on the other committees are also independent.
  • • All directors have access to the services of the company secretary and are entitled, at the group's expense and after consultation with the group chairman, to seek independent expert advice on the affairs of the group.

Appointment and re-election of directors

The nominations committee is responsible for identifying fit and proper candidates who could be appointed to the board, and evaluating them against the specific disciplines and areas of expertise required. This committee has boardapproved terms of reference that clearly define its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice.

Divisional boards

The MMI group has established divisional boards for businesses that are clustered together. These boards comprise non-executive board members, including such other appropriate persons as may be required, and have oversight of the clustered businesses.

The roles and responsibilities, authority, composition, operations and other matters relating to the divisional boards will be defined and set out in the respective divisional board charters.

The divisional boards report to the board on their activities.

Board committees

The board has eight committees that assist it in discharging its duties. The committees meet independently and their chairpersons report findings and recommendations to the board.

Each committee has formal terms of reference that clearly define its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice. The deliberations of these committees do not reduce the individual and collective responsibilities of board members, including board members of the life companies, in respect of their fiduciary duties and responsibilities, and they are nonetheless required to exercise due care and judgement in accordance with their statutory obligations. All board-delegated authorities are reviewed and updated annually.

The board committees are as follows:

Actuarial committee

This committee has board-approved terms of reference that clearly define its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice. The terms of reference are subject to the provisions of the constitution of the group and related documents, professional guidance issued by the Actuarial Society of South Africa, the Companies Act and any other applicable law or regulatory provision of the Republic of South Africa and, where relevant, territories in which the group conducts life insurance business.

The committee is appointed by the board, and comprises at least three members, including:

  • • a chairperson, who is an independent non-executive director of the group and an actuary
  • • an executive director of the group, who is an actuary
  • • at least one other director of the group.

The chairperson of the board may not also serve as the chairperson of the actuarial committee.

Actuaries assist the board in actuarial matters and conduct the actuarial valuations of the life companies in the group. Actuaries are subject to professional governance by the Actuarial Society of South Africa.

A statutory actuary appointed in accordance with the Long-Term Insurance Act, 1998 (Act No. 52 of 1998), has specific responsibilities relating to the solvency of a life company as well as the interests of its policyholders.

The committee meets at least twice a year, with additional meetings being held as and when necessary.

The primary objectives of the committee are to:

  • • review the actuarial reporting process and results;
  • • review the systems of internal control and management of actuarial risks;
  • • review the appropriateness and consistency of actuarial assumptions and methodology for all the life companies in the group; and
  • • review the principles and practices of financial management of discretionary participation policies and the communication thereof to policyholders.

It should, however, be noted that there is a separate committee of the board, the fair practices committee, that is principally tasked with monitoring the fair treatment of policyholders as well as with overseeing adherence to the group's principles and practices of financial management (PPFM) in respect of participating business.

Audit committee

This committee has board-approved terms of reference that clearly define its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice. The committee consists of not less than three members who are independent non-executive directors, to be elected by the shareholders at each annual general meeting on recommendation by the nominations committee and the board. The group CEO, deputy group CEO, group financial director, the head of corporate governance, the group actuary, the external auditors, the chief internal auditor and members of the group's financial management team attend audit committee meetings.

In addition to overseeing the financial reporting process, the audit committee's principal objectives include:

  • • satisfying the board that adequate internal, financial and operating controls are in place and are being monitored by management, and that material financial risks have been identified and are being contained and monitored;
  • • reviewing the financial statements and make appropriate recommendations to the board for approval;
  • • providing the respective boards with an assessment of the effectiveness and independence of the external auditors and the effectiveness of the internal audit function;
  • • dealing appropriately with any financial complaints received relating to the group's accounting policies, internal audit function, the content of the group's financial and/or auditing statements and the group's internal financial controls; and
  • • reviewing and recommending the integrated report for approval by the board.

The board is currently reviewing its policy governing the provision of non-audit services by the group's external auditor. The proposed policy will limit the combined fees for non-audit services in any year to a percentage of the external audit fee, an amount that must be approved by the audit committee. Each individual assignment within specified parameters is subject to pre-approval by the audit committee. Any further scope of changes to be undertaken also requires the audit committee's approval.

The audit committee considers the appropriateness of the expertise and experience of the financial director when such appointment is made and makes annual reassessments.

Divisional audit panels

The group has established divisional audit panels that report to each of the divisional boards. These panels have at least three members (appointed by the board on recommendations by the nominations committee), including such other appropriate persons as may be required. The divisional boards will have oversight responsibilities in respect of these divisional audit panels.

The roles and responsibilities, authority, composition, operations and other matters relating to the divisional audit panels are defined and set out in their respective terms of reference.

The divisional audit panels report to the audit committee of the board on their activities.

Balance sheet management committee

This committee has board-approved terms of reference defining its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice.

The balance sheet management committee comprises at least three members, both executive and non-executive directors, all of whom, including the chairperson, are appointed by the board.

Fair practices committee

This committee has board-approved terms of reference, defining its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice.

The fair practices committee comprises at least three members, both executive and non-executive directors, all of whom, including the chairperson, are appointed by the board.

The main responsibility of the fair practices committee is to ensure that MMI embeds fair treatment of customers as a core corporate value at all levels in the group. The fair practices committee also functions as the discretionary participation committee of the Metropolitan and Momentum life insurance companies and acts as the independent governance forum responsible for overseeing the implementation of and adherence to the Treating Customers Fairly Initiative of the Financial Services Board.

Nominations committee

This committee has board-approved terms of reference, defining its roles and responsibilities taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice.

The nominations committee is chaired by a non-executive director appointed by the board and its members are the chairperson of the board, the deputy chairperson of the board, the chairpersons of the risk and compliance committee, the remuneration committee and the audit committee as well as any other person appointed by the board.

The nominations committee is responsible for identifying fit and proper candidates who could be appointed to the board, and evaluating them against the specific disciplines and areas of expertise required. The interests of different stakeholders are also considered. Proposals are presented to the board for a final decision.

Meetings are held at least twice a year, with additional meetings taking place as and when necessary.

Remuneration committee

This committee has board-approved terms of reference that clearly define its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice. The chairperson and members of the remuneration committee are appointed by the board. The board appoints a non-executive director as the chairperson. The remuneration committee comprises only non-executive directors (a minimum of three), of whom the majority must be independent. Members of senior management also attend meetings.

Remuneration policy for all staff members is set by the remuneration committee. Guidelines, balanced scorecards and key performance indicators (KPIs) are under review to assist the directors and members of the committee in evaluating the key individuals.

The remuneration committee also deals with all aspects of the remuneration of non-executive directors, executive directors and executive management, including share incentive arrangements.

The remuneration committee's principal objectives are to:

  • • review the group's compensation and benefit policies and procedures;
  • • ensure compliance with applicable legislation and regulations;
  • • ensure that effective, affordable and equitable compensation practices are implemented across the wider group;
  • • review and approve proposed adjustments to standard conditions of employment;
  • • review the performance measures and criteria to be applied for annual incentive payments;
  • • evaluate the group's performance and then approve the performance bonus pool and long-term incentive scheme grants;
  • • review and approve general proposals for salary and benefit adjustments for all staff;
  • • set remuneration levels for executive directors as well as the chairman and non-executive directors, subject to board approval;
  • • consider the guaranteed remuneration and annual performance bonuses of executive management; and
  • • devise and implement appropriate short- and long-term incentive schemes across the group for executive directors and management.

MMI has formulated remuneration, policies and practices in terms of guaranteed remuneration as well as short- and long-term incentives.

Risk and compliance committe

This committee has board-approved terms of reference that clearly define its roles and responsibilities, taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice.

The risk and compliance committee comprises at least three members, both executive and non-executive directors, all of whom, including the chairperson, are appointed by the board. Meetings are held at least four times a year, with additional meetings taking place as and when necessary.

The role of the risk and compliance committee is to assist the board in ensuring that the following objectives are achieved:

  • • forming an opinion about the quality, integrity and reliability of the group's risk and compliance management processes;
  • • implementing an effective policy and plan for risk management at group level that enhances the group's ability to achieve its strategic objectives;
  • • providing objective oversight and review of the information presented by the various management teams on risks and risk management in their specific divisions;

It is chaired by an independent non-executive director who is appointed by the board, as are the other non-executive directors (a minimum of three) who serve on it, the majority of whom must be independent.

The transformation monitoring committee, which meets at least four times a year, is responsible for reviewing the strategy to be adopted by the group in support of its strategic transformation objectives, including:

  • • employment equity;

  • • preferential procurement, focusing on the use of suppliers from designated groups;

  • • corporate social investment; and

  • • skills development.

(This committee has been designated as the group's Social and Ethics committee, see below)

Social and ethics committee

The MMI group has three established board committees that already perform a substantial number of the functions prescribed for the social and ethics committee, including the fair practices committee, the risk and compliance committee and the transformation monitoring committee. The board has designated the transformation monitoring committee to discharge the responsibilities of the Social and Ethics Committee. It has been renamed the "Social, ethics and transformation committee". Some of the statutory responsibilities will still reside with other committees, which will report to this committee on their activities in this context. The mandate of the Social, ethics and transformation monitoring committee as well as the other committees will be adjusted appropriately to ensure compliance and efficient functioning.

Executive committee

This committee has terms of reference determined by the Group CEO in terms of delegated authority from the board, defining its scope, mandate, authority and roles and responsibilities as well as its required composition and meeting procedures and in addition taking into account legislative and regulatory requirements and adopting codes of good practice.

MEMORANDUM OF INCORPORATION

Until the Companies Act came into effect on 1 May 2011, the memorandum of incorporation of the Company comprised of its memorandum of association and its articles of association. On the date that the Companies Act came into effect, the memorandum of association and articles of association of the Company automatically converted into what is known as the Company's memorandum of incorporation. Accordingly, for consistency of reference, in this notice of general meeting the term "memorandum of incorporation" is used throughout to refer to the Company's memorandum of incorporation (which previously comprised the Company's memorandum of association and its articles of association, as aforesaid).

All references in this notice of general meeting (including all of the ordinary and special resolutions contained herein) to the Company's memorandum of incorporation refer to provisions of that portion of the Company's memorandum of incorporation that was previously called the Company's articles of association.

The purpose of the general meeting is for the following business to be transacted and for the following special and ordinary resolutions to be proposed.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 1

Amendment to the memorandum of incorporation of the Company in respect of the A3 preference shares

The MMI board believes that an amendment to the memorandum of incorporation of the Company is required for commercial reasons, so as to amend the preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with the A3 preference shares to give effect to the restructuring of KTH's shareholding in the Company as detailed in the circular.

"RESOLVED AS A SPECIAL RESOLUTION THAT the memorandum of incorporation of the Company be and is hereby amended with effect from the date agreed in writing between the holder of the A3 preference shares and the Company as follows:

(i) by the deletion of article 137 of the memorandum of incorporation of the Company in its entirety and the replacement thereof with a new article 137 as detailed in schedule 1 hereto."

The reason for and effect of special resolution 1 is to amend the memorandum of incorporation of the Company so as to amend the preferences, rights, limitations and other terms associated with the A3 preference shares to give effect to the restructuring of KTH's shareholding in the Company as detailed in the circular. The passing and filing of this special resolution 1 will have the effect of amending the memorandum of incorporation of the Company so that the new terms attaching to the A3 preference shares shall be as detailed in schedule 1 hereto. The passing of this special resolution is not intended to be, and is not, a harmonisation of any part of the Company's memorandum of incorporation in accordance with the Companies Act, whether in terms of item 4(2)(a) of Schedule 5 of the Companies Act, or otherwise. This special resolution 1 is being proposed for commercial reasons only, to facilitate the BEE restructuring.

The minimum percentage of voting rights that is required for special resolution 1 to be adopted is 75% (seventy five percent) of voting rights to be cast on the resolution.

SPECIAL RESOLUTION NUMBER 2

Specific authority to repurchase shares in terms of the offers

"RESOLVED THAT, subject to the MMI board being satisfied that the requirements of the solvency and liquidity test as detailed in the Companies Act are complied with, the Company hereby approves, as a specific authority in terms of the Listings Requirements as well as section 48 of the Companies Act and articles 32(f) and 134 of the Company's memorandum of incorporation, the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries, at a price per share which is equal to the VWAP for the 5 (five) trading days commencing on Thursday, 28 June 2012 and ending on Wednesday, 4 July 2012 plus a 10% premium:

    1. pursuant to the odd-lot offer, the shares of shareholders (odd-lot holders) holding less than 100 (one hundred) MMI ordinary shares in the Company (odd-lot holdings) who elect, pursuant to the odd-lot offer, to sell their oddlot holdings to MMI or who do not make an election to retain their odd-lot holdings; and
    1. pursuant to a voluntary offer (voluntary offer), the shares of shareholders (voluntary holders) holding from 100 (one hundred) to 500 (five hundred) shares (voluntary holdings) who elect, pursuant to the voluntary offer, to sell their voluntary holdings to MMI."

Additional requirements imposed by the Listings Requirements

It is recorded that the Company or its subsidiaries may only make a specific repurchase of shares if the following Listings Requirements are met:

  • a. the specific approval for the repurchase of securities will only be valid until such time as the approval is amended or revoked by special resolution of MMI shareholders;
  • b. if the Company announces its intention to make a specific repurchase, it must pursue such proposal unless the JSE permits the Company not to do so; and
  • c. the Company and/or its subsidiaries may not repurchase any shares in terms of this authority during a prohibited period, as defined in the Listings Requirements, unless the Company and/or its subsidiaries has in place a repurchase programme, where dates and quantities of shares to be traded during the prohibited period are fixed and full details of the programme have been disclosed in an announcement over SENS prior to the commencement of the prohibited period. The Company will be in a prohibited period at the time of the repurchase, but will comply with the provisions of the Listings Requirements in this regard.

Statement by the MMI directors

Pursuant to, and in terms of, the Listings Requirements, as well as in terms of section 48 of the Companies Act and articles 32(f) and 134 of the Company's memorandum of incorporation, the MMI board hereby states that, after considering the effect of the specific repurchase, the provisions of section 4 and section 48 of the Companies Act have been complied with and that the:-

  • a. Company and the MMI group will be able in the ordinary course of business to pay its debts for a period of 12 months after the date of the approval of the circular;
  • b. the assets of the Company and the MMI group will be in excess of the liabilities of MMI and the MMI group for a period of 12 months after the date of the approval of the circular, where such assets and liabilities have been recognised and measured in accordance with the accounting policies used in the latest audited consolidated annual financial statements of the MMI group which comply with the Companies Act.

Shareholders from whom the MMI ordinary shares will be repurchased

The shareholders from whom MMI ordinary shares will be purchased in terms of:-

  • • the odd-lot offer, are all MMI shareholders who hold in aggregate less than 100 MMI ordinary shares as at the record date; and
  • • the voluntary repurchase offer, are all MMI shareholders who hold in aggregate 100 to 500 MMI ordinary shares as at the record date.

Reason for and effect of special resolution number 2

The reason for special resolution number 2 is to obtain a specific approval, in terms of the Listings Requirements as well as section 48 of the Companies Act and articles 32(f) and 134 of the Company's memorandum of incorporation, for the acquisition by the Company or any of its subsidiaries from the odd-lot holders of their odd-lot holdings as proposed in the odd-lot offer, and from voluntary holders of their voluntary holdings as proposed in the voluntary offer, which authority shall be valid until such time as the approval is amended or revoked by special resolution of MMI shareholders. The reason for making the odd-lot offer and voluntary repurchase offer is to provide a mechanism for minority shareholders in MMI to realise their investment in MMI in a cost effective manner and to enable MMI to reduce the substantial and ongoing costs of administration connected with a large number of odd-lot and voluntary holders. The passing and filing of special resolution number 2 will have the effect that MMI and/or any of its subsidiaries will be authorised, by way of a specific authority, to acquire shares in the Company in terms of the odd-lot offer from the oddlot holders who elect to sell their odd-lot holding to MMI or who do not make an election, and in terms of the voluntary offer from voluntary holders who elect to sell their voluntary holdings to MMI.

The minimum percentage of voting rights that is required for special resolution 2 to be adopted is 75% (seventy five percent) of voting rights to be cast on the resolution. Odd-lot holders and voluntary holders and their associates (as such term is defined in the Listing Requirements) will, in terms of the Listings Requirements, be excluded from voting on special resolution 2 in respect of the resolutions required to authorise and implement the offers, but will be entitled to vote on special resolution 1 in respect of the resolutions required to effect the amendment to MMI's memorandum of incorporation.

ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 1

Authority to make and implement

"RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT, subject to the passing and registration of special resolution 2 above, the MMI directors be and are hereby authorised and empowered, as required in terms of articles 32(f) and 134 of the memorandum of incorporation of the Company, to make and implement an odd-lot offer to shareholders holding less than 100 (one hundred) MMI ordinary shares in the Company and to make and implement a voluntary repurchase offer to shareholders holding between 100 (one hundred) and 500 (five hundred) MMI ordinary shares in the Company as at the close of business on Friday, 20 July 2012, according to the terms and conditions of the odd-lot offer and voluntary repurchase offer contained in the circular and which has been approved by the JSE."

ORDINARY RESOLUTION NUMBER 2

Authority to give effect to resolutions passed

"RESOLVED AS AN ORDINARY RESOLUTION THAT any independent non-executive director or officer of the Company, acting alone, be and is hereby authorised to take all such steps and sign all such documents as may be necessary to give effect to the resolutions duly passed at this general meeting."

A shareholder may appoint one or more persons of his own choice as his proxy/ies by inserting the name/s of such proxy/ies in the space provided, with or without deleting "the chairman of the general meeting", but any such deletion must be initialled by the shareholder. Any such proxy need not be a shareholder of the Company. Should this space be left blank, the proxy will be exercised by the chairman of the meeting. The person whose name stands first on the proxy form and who is present at the general meeting will be entitled to act as proxy to the exclusion of those whose names follow.

However, if you wish to cast your votes in respect of a lesser number of shares than you own in the Company, insert the number of shares held in respect of which you wish to vote.

If a shareholder does not indicate on this instrument that his proxy is to vote in favour of or against any resolution or resolutions or to abstain from voting, or gives contradictory instructions, or should any further resolution/s or any amendment/s that may be properly put before the general meeting be proposed, the proxy shall be entitled to vote as he thinks fit.

    • a. cancelling the form of proxy in writing or making a later inconsistent appointment of a proxy, and
    • b. delivering a copy of the revocation instrument to the proxy and to the Company,

which revocation will constitute a complete and final cancellation of the proxy's authority to act on behalf of the shareholder with effect from the date stated in the revocation instrument or the date on which it is delivered in terms of paragraph 5b above.

    1. Unless the above section is completed for a lesser number of shares, this proxy shall apply to all the MMI ordinary shares registered in the name of the shareholder /s at the date of the general meeting or any adjournment thereof.
    1. Companies and other corporate bodies are advised to appoint a representative in terms of section 57(5) of the Companies Act, for which purpose a duly certified copy of the resolution appointing such a representative should be lodged with the Company's transfer office, as set out in 12 below.
