Notice of General Meeting
Notice is hereby given that a General Meeting of Shareholders
(“General Meeting”) will be held at the offices of Numis Securities
Limited, The London Stock Exchange Building,

Thursday, 9 February 2017 at 09:30.
Please note that as the General Meeting will be held at The London
Stock Exchange (“LSE”) all attendees will be required to show ID in
order to gain entry to the meeting venue.
The resolutions passed at the Company’s Annual General Meeting
held on 25 November 2016 did not
include the customary resolution to disapply the statutory
pre-emption rights or, as is required in terms of the Listings
Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”), to allow the Company to
carry out a general issue of ordinary shares for cash (“General
Issue”). The Company now wishes to obtain the rights to
provide the board of directors (“Board”) with the flexibility to
proceed with a General Issue, as and when suitable opportunities
arise.
Accordingly, the General Meeting is being convened in order to
propose, amongst other things, a resolution to disapply the
statutory pre-emption rights and a resolution as required by the
JSE to allow the Company to proceed with a General Issue.
A circular to Shareholders (“the Circular”) setting out details
of the proposed resolutions, including the notice convening the
General Meeting, will be posted to Shareholders on Tuesday,
17 January 2017.
