Capitalisation Share Award and Cash Dividend Option
Further to the interim financial results announcement released on the Stock
Exchange News Services and published in the press on 5 May 2003, notice is
hereby given that an award of new fully paid ordinary shares ("the new shares")
will be distributed to shareholders recorded in the register of the company at
the close of business on Friday, 25 July 2003 ("the record date") by way of a
capitalisation of distributable reserves. The last day to trade for the
capitalisation share award will be Friday, 18 July 2003 ("CUM" the entitlement).
The rounded number of shares to which shareholders will become entitled will be
determined according to the following formula per share:
Capitalisation share entitlement = number of shares held on the record date X 33
cents/97.5% of R14.50, which was the ruling price at the close of business on
the JSE on Thursday, 19 June 2003.
This equates to 2,33422 new shares for every 100 ordinary shares held.
Shareholders may elect to decline the capitalisation share award in respect of
all or part of their shareholding and instead receive the interim cash dividend
of 33 cents (2002: 25,5 cents) for the six months period ended 31 March 2003.
Subject to the approval of the JSE Securities Exchange South Africa ("JSE") and
the Namibian Stock Exchange ("NSX"), a listing of the maximum number of new
shares to be issued pursuant to the award will commence on Monday, 21 July 2003.
The new shares will trade "EX" the entitlement with effect from the commencement
of business on Monday, 21 July 2003. No dematerialisation or rematerialisation
of share certificates may take place between Monday, 21 July 2003 and Friday, 25
July 2003, both days inclusive. Documentation, subject to the approval of the
JSE and NSX, dealing with the capitalisation share award and forms of election
will be posted to shareholders today.
Forms of election in respect of shareholders who have not yet dematerialised
their shares ("certificated shareholders") and who wish to elect to receive the
interim cash dividend must be received by the transfer secretaries by no later
than 12:00 on Friday, 25 July 2003 ("the election date").
Shareholders who have dematerialised their shares are required to notify their
duly appointed Central Securities Depository Participant (CSDP) or brokers of
their election in the manner and time stipulated in the agreement governing the
relationship between the shareholder and his/her CSDP or broker. In respect of
dematerialised shareholders, safe custody accounts with the CSDP(s) or brokers
will be updated with the entitlement in respect of the new ordinary shares
and/or payments will be credited to their accounts at their CSDP or broker on
Monday, 28 July 2003.
Certificated shareholders will have their share certificates or cheques posted
(or cash electronically transferred, if so elected) on Monday, 28 July 2003. A
further announcement will be published on Tuesday, 29 July 2003, detailing the
results of the capitalisation share award and cash election.
