Claw Back Offer and Rights Offer
Miranda Mineral Holdings Limited
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 1998/001940/06)
Share code: MMH ISIN: ZAE000074019
("Miranda" or "the Company")
Finalisation Announcement Regarding the Claw Back Offer and Rights Offer
1. INTRODUCTION
Shareholders are referred to the announcements published on the Stock Exchange
News Service ("SENS") on 9 and 25 March 2011 and in the press on 10 March 2011
and 28 March 2011, respectively, wherein details of Miranda`s intention to raise
up to R83.6 million by way of a claw back offer and a rights offer ("the
Transaction") were provided.
2. TERMS OF THE TRANSACTION
In terms of the Transaction, a total of 114 489 898 new shares in the authorised
but unissued share capital of Miranda will be offered in the ratio of 40.241 new
shares for every 100 Miranda ordinary shares ("the Transaction Entitlement")
currently in issue and at a price of 73 cents per share.
Notwithstanding that the Transaction has not been underwritten, the minimum
amount that will be received by Miranda upon implementation of the Transaction
is R70,1 million ("the Minimum Capital Amount"). The Minimum Capital Amount will
be received by the Company even if none of the other Miranda shareholders
subscribe for shares in terms of the Transaction. In such a scenario, a total of
96 029 673 new Miranda ordinary shares ("Claw Back Offer Shares") will be issued
to Global PS Mining Investments Company Limited ("Global PS"), representing a
post Transaction shareholding in Miranda of less than 35%.
A total of 11 989 709 authorised but unissued shares in the share capital of the
Company form part of the rights offer but not of the claw back offer ("Rights
Offer Shares"). In the event that the total number of Rights Offer Shares is
taken up, the Claw Back Offer shares (at which the maximum possible shareholding
of Global PS in Miranda will remain limited to less than 35%) will increase to
102 500 189 new shares in number and the maximum value of the proceeds to be
received by Miranda in terms of the Transaction will be R83,6 million ("the
Maximum Capital Amount").
3. CONDITIONS PRECEDENT
The board of directors of Miranda is pleased to advise shareholders that all the
suspensive conditions pertaining to the Claw Back Offer have been fulfilled,
including:
* approval of the listing, on the JSE Limited ("JSE"), of the Transaction
Entitlement shares to be allotted and issued pursuant to the Transaction.
Valuations on certain minor, greenfields assets are however still in the process
of being approved;
* approval of the listing, on the JSE, of the renounceable (nil paid) letters of
allocation ("LA`s") in respect of the Transaction;
* registration of the Circular setting out the detailed terms of the Transaction
by the Companies and Intellectual Property Registration Office; and
