Coal of Africa Limited
22 November 2017
ANNOUNCEMENT 22 November 2017
UPDATE WITH REGARDS TO THE PROPOSED SHARE CONSOLIDATION AND NAME
CHANGE
As previously announced on 23 October 2017, Coal of Africa
Limited's ("CoAL" or the "Company") Integrated Report for the
financial year ended 30 June 2017, Notice of the Annual General
Meeting ("AGM") and accompanying proxy for the meeting to be held
on Friday, 24 November 2017 have been posted to shareholders and
are available on the Company's website www.coalofafrica.com.
CoAL's shareholders are advised of the following indicative
timetables detailing key events regarding share consolidation and
name change resolutions set out in the AGM Notice. The indicative
timetables for the Company's listings are detailed below, namely
the Australian Securities Exchange ("ASX"), AIM Market of the
London Stock Exchange ("AIM") and Johannesburg Stock Exchange
("JSE").
The Company would like to reiterate to shareholders that due to
the divergent treatment of changes to CoAL's International
Securities Identification Number ("ISIN") arising from the proposed
share consolidation and name change resolutions, shares on the
United Kingdom register will be suspended from Tuesday 28 November
2017 to Wednesday 6 December 2017. CoAL and its advisors have
worked closely with the ASX, AIM and JSE listing authorities to
avoid any suspensions, however due to ISIN administrative
challenges a temporary suspension is unavoidable should the share
consolidation or name change resolutions be approved by
shareholders at the Company's AGM.
