The attention of certificated shareholders is drawn to the fact that,
notwithstanding that the company is now settling trades through the STRATE
settlement system, such shareholders will receive a share certificate reflecting
the change of name of the company and will be required to dematerialise such
share certificates in order to trade their shares on the JSE. The
dematerialisation process can take between 24 hours and 10 days, depending on
the volumes being processed at the time of dematerialisation. Share
certificates in the Acuity name may not be dematerialised or rematerialised
after Thursday, 23 September 2004.
3. SURRENDER OF SHARE CERTIFICATES
Certificated shareholders in the company who have not already done so are
requested to surrender their share certificates in order to receive new share
certificates reflecting the change of name of the company. The form of
surrender contained in the circular dispatched to shareholders on 25 August 2004
must be completed by all certificated shareholders and returned, together with
the relevant share certificates(s) and/or other document(s) of title, to
Computershare Investor Services 2004 (Pty) Ltd, 70 Marshall Street, Johannesburg
(PO Box 61051, Marshalltown, 2017). The transfer secretaries will send a share
certificate reflecting the change of name of the company by registered mail to
the address of the shareholder concerned as shown in the company`s register of
shareholders, or to any other address as instructed in writing. Share
certificates will be posted on Monday, 4 October 2004, if the documents of title
have been surrendered by Friday, 1 October 2004, or within five business days of
receipt of such document(s) of title if surrendered after Friday, 1 October
2004. This does not apply to dematerialised shareholders who will have their
electronic record of holdings automatically updated by the Central Securities
Depository Participant (CSDP) or broker.
In terms of the exchange control regulations of the Republic of South Africa,
documents of title to be issued to:
Non-resident or emigrant shareholders will be restrictively endorsed in terms of
those regulations; and
emigrant shareholders will be placed under the control of the authorised bank
dealing in foreign exchange in the Republic of South Africa as nominated by that
shareholder. Accordingly, the authorised dealer releasing blocked shares must
countersign the form of surrender, thereby indicating the new share statements
will be under their control.
New share certificates will not be dispatched to certificated shareholders
before such shareholders have surrendered their existing share certificate(s) in
respect of the shares held by them, provided that if any shareholder produces
evidence to the satisfaction of the company that the certificate in respect of
any shares has been lost or destroyed, the company may dispense with the
surrender of such certificate against the provision of an indemnity acceptable
to the company, the costs of which indemnity shall be born by the shareholder
concerned. This does not apply to dematerialised shareholders.
