enX Group Limited (JSE:ENX) News - Corrections to the Mandatory Offer Circular and availability of the amended circular

ENX GROUP LIMITED
(Incorporated in the Republic of South Africa)
(Registration number 2001/029771/06)
JSE share code: ENX ISIN: ZAE000222253
(“enX” or “the Company”)


CORRECTIONS TO THE MANDATORY OFFER CIRCULAR AND AVAILABILITY OF THE AMENDED
CIRCULAR


1.    Introduction

      Shareholders are referred to the combined offer circular to enX shareholders (the “Circular”) published on
      8 April 2022 regarding a mandatory offer to shareholders by MCC Contracts Proprietary Limited and African
      Phoenix Investments Limited (collectively the “Offerors”), acting in concert, to acquire the remaining shares in
      enX at an offer consideration of R5.60 per share in terms of section 123 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 and
      regulation 86(1) of the Companies Regulations, 2011 (the “Mandatory Offer”). Capitalised terms in this
      announcement bear the same meaning as in the Circular.

      Shareholders are advised that post the issue of the Circular, the directors of the Offerors have detected and brought
      to the Company’s attention certain errors in the Circular, which arose (i) as a result of a miscalculation of the
      mathematical impact of the cross-shareholdings amongst the companies comprising the Offerors’ group of
      companies on the Offerors and Offerors’ directors’ indirect beneficial interests in enX; and (ii) in relation to the
      disclosure of Nick Sennett’s (an African Phoenix director) interests in enX shares the inadvertent omission of
      Nick Sennett’s indirect interest in enX shares held via a hedge fund platform managed by Standard Bank. Whilst
      the errors are minor and immaterial to the Mandatory Offer itself, the directors of the Offerors, who have a
      responsibility to ensure the correctness of information in the Circular relating to the Offerors, consider it necessary
      and appropriate to communicate the corrected percentages and values.

2.    Correction to the “Definitions and Interpretations” section of the Circular

      The definition of “MCC Contracts” is amended as follows:

                               company incorporated and registered in accordance with the laws of South Africa and
                               wholly owned by eXtract Group Limited, which is in turn owned by:
