FINALISATION INFORMATION RELATING TO THE RENOUNCEABLE RIGHTS OFFER
1. Introduction
Shareholders are referred to the announcement released on SENS on 14 April
2009, in terms of which they were advised that the company intends to
proceed with an underwritten renounceable rights offer of 233 733 088 in
order to raise approximately R4 674 662.
Shareholders are advised that the conditions precedent to the
implementation of the rights offer, being the approval of the rights offer
circular by the JSE Limited and the registration of the rights offer
circular and letter of allocation by the Registrar of Companies, have now
been fulfilled and accordingly, shareholders registered in the register of
shareholders at the close of business on Friday, 8 May 2009 will be granted
the right to subscribe for new ordinary shares of 1 cent each ("rights
offer shares") at a subscription price of 2 cents per rights offer share
and in the ratio of one rights offer share for every four Milkworx shares
held ("the rights offer").
2. Purpose of the Rights Offer
The principle purpose of the rights offer is to provide Milkworx with
additional working capital which will enable it to expand its business
operations through, inter alia, the reduction of debt and the optimisation
of existing plant and equipment.
3. Underwriting
The rights offer has been fully underwritten by Inshare (Proprietary)
Limited and confirmation of funding has been provided to the JSE Limited
("the JSE"). The total cost of the underwriting is R233 733.
4. Excess applications for rights offer shares
All rights offer shares not taken up in terms of the rights offer will be
available for allocation to shareholders who wish to apply for a greater
number of rights offer shares than those offered to them in terms of the
rights offer. Accordingly, shareholders may also apply for additional
rights offer shares in excess of the rights offer shares allocated to that
shareholder in terms of the rights offer on the same terms and conditions
as those applicable to the rights offer entitlement.
The right to apply for additional rights offer shares is transferable on
renunciation.
An announcement will be published on SENS or about Monday, 1 June 2009, stating
the results of the rights offer and the basis of allocation of any additional
rights offer shares for which application is made.
