NOTIFICATION TO R&E AND JCI SHAREHOLDERS
RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
JCI, JCI Investment Finance (Pty) Limited ("JCIIF") and R&E ("the parties") are
pleased to announce that earlier today the parties signed a revised Settlement
Agreement ("the revised Settlement Agreement"), following the lapsing of the
Settlement Agreement concluded between them on 31 August 2009 and then again on
18 September 2009, the terms of which were previously communicated to R&E and
JCI shareholders.
In terms of the revised Settlement Agreement, and subject to the fulfillment of
various suspensive conditions as detailed in such agreement:
1. JCI and JCIIF shall cause 6 051 632 Gold Fields Limited ("GFI") ordinary
shares to be transferred to R&E;
2. JCI shall allot and issue 1 555 710 220 new JCI ordinary shares ("the new JCI
shares") to R&E, representing approximately 44% of the issued share capital of
JCI post the issue of such new JCI shares;
3. R&E shall, following the transfer of the GFI shares to R&E, make a capital
distribution of such GFI shares to R&E shareholders in proportion to their
respective shareholdings;
4. R&E shall distribute the new JCI shares to R&E shareholders in proportion to
their respective shareholdings.
R&E intends also, as part of an unbundling process, to distribute its existing
JCI shares comprising 305 186 049 shares to R&E shareholders in proportion to
their respective shareholdings.
The revised settlement agreement once implemented will as between the R&E group
and the JCI group only, give rise to the JCI group being discharged from R&E`s
claims against the JCI Group and vice versa, this, without the parties making
any admissions of liability or any concessions in regard to their respective
claims.
The terms of the revised settlement agreement will be detailed in a further
detailed announcement and circulars will be furnished to the shareholders of R&E
and JCI in due course, to whom the revised Settlement Agreement will be
presented for approval. The parties have procured irrevocable undertakings from
certain key shareholders as required in terms of the revised Settlement
Agreement.
Shareholders are further advised that a Litigation Settlement Agreement between
the parties, Letseng Diamonds Limited, Investec Bank Limited, Investec Bank Plc
and certain other parties was also concluded, the details of which will also be
included in a detailed announcement to shareholders in due course and the
abovementioned circulars.
RENEWAL OF CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
In the light of the above, R&E and JCI shareholders are advised to continue to
exercise caution when trading in their shares over-the-counter until the further
detailed announcements are made.
