Extension of time period for South African institutional investors to rebalance
their foreign investment in Mondi plc
Mondi Group has today been advised by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB) that
it has agreed to an extension of the time period within which South Africa
institutional investors that received Mondi plc shares as a result of the
demerger from Anglo American plc in July 2007 must rebalance their portfolios to
fall in line with the applicable foreign investment limits. SARB has agreed to
extend the period by a further 24 months, expiring 1 July 2011.
At the time of Mondi`s demerger, and as detailed in the Prospectus dated 1 June
2007, SARB indicated that the inward listing of Mondi plc ordinary shares on the
JSE Limited would be treated as foreign assets in the hands of qualifying South
African investors. SARB had given a period of 24 months from the date of
demerger (2 July 2007) for institutional investors to rebalance their portfolios
in line with the foreign investment limits.
Individuals continue to be permitted to hold their Mondi plc ordinary shares
without restriction. Similarly, in accordance with Exchange Control Circular No.
7/2008, South African companies, trusts, partnerships and banks are permitted to
trade and hold inward listed (foreign) securities.
