FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT REGARDING AME`S OFFER TO PURCHASE A 24,9%
INTEREST IN KAYA FM FROM NEW AFRICA INVESTMENTS LIMITED ("Nail")
Further to the initial cautionary announcement dated 13 July 2005, and
those subsequent thereto, shareholders are reminded that, during January
2006, AME increased its offer for Nail`s 24,9% interest in Kaya FM by R4
million to R25 million.
On the bases that:
* this offer is materially higher than the R19,1 million (15,1 cents per
Nail share) offered by Primedia Limited ("Primedia") as appears from the
Primedia announcement dated 17 December 2004 of its firm intention to make
an offer to acquire all the shares in Nail for Nail`s 24,9% interest in
Kaya FM;
* the Competition Commission has unconditionally approved the proposed
merger between AME and Kaya FM;
* an appeal to the Competition Appeal Court has been lodged against the
decision of the Competition Tribunal to approve the Nail/Primedia/Capricorn
merger. This appeal will be heard by the Competition Appeal Court on 17
September 2007;
the board of AME still expects a positive response from Nail to its
increased offer.
Shareholders are accordingly advised to continue to exercise caution in
dealing in their shares until a further announcement in this regard is
made.
