FURTHER CAUTIONARY ANNOUNCEMENT
ON
PROGRESS ON KCM AGREEMENTS WITH VEDANTA
Shareholders of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc ("ZCCM-IH" or the
"Company") are referred to the announcement dated 5 September 2023,
wherein the Company provided updates on the progress of
negotiations with Vedanta Resources Limited ("Vedanta") regarding
the future of Konkola Copper Mines ("KCM") and outlined the key
terms of the agreements reached with Vedanta.
In a recent board meeting, management presented to the Board the
proposed KCM Implementation Agreement ("IA") and Shareholders
Agreement ("SHA"), seeking for approval for ZCCM-IH to execute the
said agreements. These agreements were necessitated by the
announced return of Vedanta, the majority shareholder of KCM.
During the presentation, the Board was informed that:
Regarding the background, on 5th September 2023, the Government
of the Republic of Zambia announced that it had reached an
agreement with Vedanta to resolve all outstanding disputes and
Vedanta committed to the following:
a) Payment of $250 million to local creditors;
b) Investment of $1 billion for capital mine development of
KCM;
c) Investment of $20 million in robust and transparent Corporate
Social Responsibility programmes; and
d) Increase workers' salaries by 20% and a one-off payment of
K2,500 across the board.
Further to the discussion, the Board resolved that the proposed
KCM Implementation Agreement and Shareholders Agreement be approved
for execution. A brief description of each document is given
below.
IMPLEMENTATION AGREEMENT:
The Implementation Agreement ("IA") highlights the steps that
need to be taken before the withdrawal of liquidation proceedings
relating to KCM and the subsequent appointment of the Board.
SHAREHOLDERS AGREEMENT
The Shareholders Agreement ("SHA") is a document that will
regulate the relationship between Vedanta and ZCCM-IH as well as
the relationship between Vedanta, ZCCM-IH and KCM. The SHA is
therefore aimed at regulating the business of KCM by setting out,
inter alia, each of Vedanta and ZCCM-IH's obligations.
Shareholders are advised to continue to exercise caution when
dealing in the Company's securities until the conclusion of the
matter .
