SABCAP TRADING UPDATE AND PRELIMINARY TRADING STATEMENT FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED 30 JUNE 2021
TRADING UPDATE
Shareholders are advised that all of Sabcap's investee companies are trading at or ahead of Pre-Covid
levels and ahead of 2020 levels and in many cases achieving satisf actory growth on those levels. As a
consequence, Sabcap anticipates improved results for the six months ended 30 June 2021 notwithstanding
the effect of the stronger rand in 2021 on the valuations of Sabcap’s foreign assets.
Sabcap has made some changes in its portfolio which have resulted in an even more conservatively geared
balance sheet and increased funding potential for new investments, buy backs and dividends.
As advised on SENS on 24 May 2021, Sabcap has continued share buybacks as deemed appropriate from
time to time. At 30 June 2021 there were 40 190 000 shares in issue net of treasury shares (31 December
2020: 40 960 000).
