PUBLIC
CENSURE BY THE JSE LIMITED – DISPOSAL OF MINERAL INTERESTS AND OPTION GRANTED
TO DISPOSE OF THE RELATED MINING
INFRASTRUCTURE OF EAST RAND PROPRIETARY MINES LIMITED
DRDGOLD
shareholders (“
Shareholders
”) are referred to
the SENS announcements published by:
-
DRDGOLD on 26 February 2019 (“
DRDGOLD Announcement
”)
regarding the disposal of East Rand Proprietary Mines Limited’s
underground mineral interests to OroTree Limited (“
OroTree
”) for an
aggregate cash consideration of R4 (“
Disposal
”) and the granting of
an option to OroTree to acquire the related mining infrastructure and
associated movable machinery, plant and equipment for an approximate cash
consideration of $10 million, to be exercised on or before 30 June 2019 (“
Option
”),
(the Disposal and Option are collectively referred to hereafter as the “
Transaction
”);
and
-
the JSE Limited (“
JSE
”) on 31 May 2019 regarding the
public censure imposed on DRDGOLD for a breach of paragraph 9.15 of the
JSE Limited Listing Requirements (“
Listings Requirements
”) relating
to the late publication of the DRDGOLD Announcement.
Shareholders
are advised that
in the submissions made
to the JSE, DRDGOLD acknowledged that the basis for the breach was the
misinterpretation of the nature of the Transaction and the application of the
Listings Requirements thereto, particularly in regard to the Option and the
likelihood of OroTree exercising the Option (as
detailed in the DRDGOLD Announcement),
which
resulted in the unfortunate event of the Company inadvertently and
unintentionally breaching the provisions of the Listings Requirements.
The
Company tendered its full cooperation with the JSE during the course of the
JSE’s investigation of the breach and has undertaken to prevent a recurrence of
a transgression of the Listings Requirements by reinforcing internal measures
and policies to ensure compliance with the Listings Requirements, and
specifically in this instance, to ensure that all future announcements are
published within the stipulated timeframes imposed by the JSE pursuant to the
Listings Requirements.
