MEDICLINIC ANNOUNCEMENT IN RESPECT OF MPILO ARRANGEMENTS
During 2005 Mediclinic International (RF) Proprietary Limited
(previously Mediclinic International Limited ("Mediclinic SA")
implemented a black ownership initiative with MP1 Investment
Holdings Proprietary Limited (previously Circle Capital Ventures
Proprietary Limited) ("MP1") and Phodiso Holdings Limited
("Phodiso") (collectively, the "Strategic Black Partners").
Following completion in February 2016 of Mediclinic SA's
combination with the Company (the "Combination"), the Company today
announces that it has entered into arrangements with the Strategic
Black Partners to formalise the basis on which the Strategic Black
Partners hold their shares in the Company. These are in the same
form in all material aspects as the arrangements in existence prior
to the Combination. However, the Company now receives the direct
benefit of the lock-in arrangements described below.
The arrangements that originally applied to the holdings of the
Strategic Black Partners in relation to their shares in Mediclinic
SA before completion of the Combination continue to apply to their
holdings of shares in the Company such that:
-- in the case of the 24,582,960 shares held by Phodiso through
its subsidiary Mpilo Investment Holdings 2 (RF) Proprietary Limited
("Mpilo 2"), representing approximately 3.33% of the Company's
issued share capital, disposals of such shares are restricted until
31 December 2018; and
-- in the case of the 10,958,206 shares held by MP1 through its
subsidiary Mpilo 1 Newco (RF) Proprietary Limited ("Mpilo 1"),
representing approximately 1.49% of the Company's issued share
capital, disposals of such shares are restricted until 31 December
2019.
The arrangements also contain pre-emptive rights in favour of
the Company which provide that, if any of the shares in the Company
or shares in one of the Strategic Black Partners' Mediclinic
holding companies are to be offered for sale, the Company will be
offered the opportunity to purchase such shares or to nominate
another person to purchase such shares, in each case, at a
discounted price of, approximately, in relation to the Mpilo 1
shares, 5% to the then market value and, in relation to the Mpilo 2
shares, 10%. Any exercise of a right to purchase such shares by the
Company itself would require the approval of its shareholders.
