BROAD-BASED BLACK ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT ACT: ANNUAL COMPLIANCE
REPORT
In accordance with the JSE Limited ("JSE") Listings Requirements
applicable to the Company having a secondary listing on the JSE,
notice is hereby given that the Company's annual compliance report
in terms of section 13G(2) of the South African Broad-Based Black
Economic Empowerment Act, No. 53 of 2003, as amended (the "B-BBEE
Act"), has been submitted to the Broad-Based Black Economic
Empowerment Commission (the "B-BBEE Commission"). The compliance
report is available on Mediclinic's website at
https://www.mediclinic.com/en/governance/sustainable_development.html
.
The compliance report relates to the Group's South African
operations and presents an assessment of the broad-based black
economic empowerment status of Mediclinic International (RF) (Pty)
Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and its subsidiaries
which include Mediclinic Southern Africa (Pty) Ltd.
About the B-BBEE Act
The B-BBEE Act was enacted to establish a legislative framework
for the promotion of broad-based black economic empowerment in
South Africa and is intended to encourage transformation by
including black people in the economy. It covers aspects such as
ownership, management control, skills development, enterprise and
supplier development and socio-economic development. Although
compliance with the B-BBEE Act and the Codes of Good Practice
issued in terms thereof is voluntary, an obligation was introduced
by way of an amendment to the B-BBEE Act in 2013, which became
effective in June 2016, requiring public, JSE-listed companies to
report their broad-based black economic empowerment status to the
B-B BEE Commission .
