At the annual general meeting of the Company held on 11 November 2010, the
requisite majority of Shareholders approved a resolution authorising the
directors of Sephaku Holdings (the "Directors") to issue shares for cash in
accordance with paragraph 5.52 of the JSE Limited`s ("JSE") Listings
Requirements ("the General Authority").
In accordance with the General Authority, the Directors entered into a
Subscription Agreement with Sanlam Private Investments (Proprietary) Limited
("Sanlam") on 10 May 2011, to subscribe for 2 500 000 Sephaku Holdings shares
at a price of R3.50 ("the Issue"), being a 12.5 per cent premium to the 30-
day VWAP of Sephaku Holdings` shares. This brings the total number of shares
issued under the General Authority, in the current financial year, to 12 586
936.
The JSE has granted approval to list the 2 500 000 new Sephaku Holdings
shares on Monday, 16 May 2011. Following the listing and the issue of the new
Sephaku Holdings shares to Sanlam, the Company will have 168 392 298 total
shares in issue and the Issue to Sanlam will equate to 1.48 per cent of the
issued share capital of the Company.
The 2 500 000 new Sephaku Holdings shares will rank pari passu with the
existing Sephaku Holdings shares in issue. Sanlam qualifies as a "public"
shareholder within the meaning of paragraphs 4.25 and 4.26 of the JSE
