PROPOSED ODD-LOT OFFER, AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM OF INCORPORATION AND DISTRIBUTION OF
CIRCULAR AND NOTICE OF GENERAL MEETING IN RELATION THERETO
1. Introduction and rationale
As at 19 May 2023, there were a total of 1,510 ordinary shareholders (“Odd-lot Holders”) on the share register that
held less than 100 Invicta ordinary shares (“Invicta Shares”), comprising 40.92% of the total number of ordinary
shareholders (“Invicta Shareholders”) in the Company. Conversely, the total number of Invicta Shares held by the Odd-
lot Holders comprise 36,349 (“Odd-lot Holdings”) representing only 0.04% of the total issued Invicta Shares. Therefore,
a significant portion of the administrative time and costs associated with the Invicta Shareholders base is incurred with
respect to Invicta Shareholders that hold less than 1% of the total Invicta Shares in issue. The Invicta board of directors
(the “Board”) has proposed the repurchase of the Odd-lot Holdings of Odd-lot Holders (the “Odd-lot Offer”) to facilitate
the reduction in Invicta Shareholders in an equitable manner.
An Odd-lot offer is a standard corporate action undertaken by JSE-listed companies. In order to (i) provide Odd-lot
Holders with an opportunity to realise the value of their investment without incurring dealing charges which might
otherwise make it impractical to sell their Odd-lot Holdings, and to provide liquidity for those Odd-lot Holders who elect
not to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or who make no election and; (ii) from the Company’s perspective, to reduce the
costs and complexity of managing a large shareholder base, Invicta has decided to proceed with the implementation of
the Odd-lot Offer to repurchase the Invicta Shares from the Odd-lot Holders at a 5% premium to the 30-day volume
weighted average price of an Invicta Share at the close of business on Monday, 24 July 2023 (“Offer Price”).
For Invicta to implement the Odd-lot Offer, the Board is seeking approval from Invicta Shareholders to (i) effect certain
required amendments to the Company’s memorandum of incorporation (“MOI”) (“MOI Amendments”), and (ii)
implement the Odd-lot Offer.
2. Odd-lot Offer
Following receipt of the necessary Invicta Shareholder approval for the MOI Amendments and the Odd-lot Offer, the
Odd-lot Offer will open and Odd-lot Holders must decide to either:
• sell their Odd-lot Holding to Invicta at the Offer Price; or
• retain their Odd-lot Holding.
Odd-lot Holders can elect to retain their Odd-lot Holdings or sell their Odd-lot Holdings at the Offer Price. Those Odd-
lot Holders who do not make an election by 12:00 (SA time) on Friday, 4 August 2023 will automatically be regarded
as having accepted the Odd-lot Offer and chosen to dispose of their Odd-lot Holdings.
3. Circular and notice of general meeting
For Invicta to implement the Odd-lot Offer, the Board is seeking approval from Invicta Shareholders to implement the
Odd-lot Offer and the MOI Amendments and is therefore convening a general meeting of Invicta Shareholders (“General
Meeting”), to be held virtually through electronic communication, at 12:30 on Thursday, 6 July 2023. A circular
(“Circular”), containing details of the Odd-lot Offer and MOI Amendments, together with a notice of General Meeting
(“Notice of General Meeting”), will be made available to Invicta Shareholders on Monday, 5 June 2023 on the
Company’s website (https://www.invictaholdings.co.za/circulars-to-shareholders). Copies of the Circular may also be
requested from the Company Secretary of Invicta by emailing Lebohang Mpumlwana on lebo@invictaholdings.co.za or
calling +27 (0)11 620 7300.

5. Tax considerations
The Board has specifically resolved that the Odd-lot Offer will be distributed as a return of capital and will result in a
reduction of ‘contributed tax capital’ as defined in section 1 of the South African Income Tax Act, (Act 58 of 1962), as
amended. The Offer Price will therefore not be regarded as a dividend for South African income tax purposes. Invicta
Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax and/or other professional advisors regarding the taxation implications
arising out of the acceptance of the Odd-lot Offer.
