published by the Company on SENS on 1 March 2022 (“Detailed Cautionary

2. PSG GROUP RESTRUCTURING
2.1 PSG Group Shareholders are hereby advised that, subject to the fulfilment (or where
permissible, waiver) of the PSG Group Restructuring Conditions, PSG Group will as
one indivisible arrangement:
2.1.1 implement the PSG Group Unbundling by unbundling –
2.1.1.1 the PSG Konsult Unbundled Shares, comprising approximately 60.8 percent of
the total issued share capital of PSG Konsult, to PSG Group Shareholders by
way of a pro rata distribution in specie, in the ratio of 3.86921 PSG Konsult
Shares for every PSG Group Share held on the PSG Group Unbundling record
date;
2.1.1.2 the Curro Unbundled Shares, comprising approximately 63.6 percent of the
total issued share capital of Curro, to PSG Group Shareholders by way of a pro
rata distribution in specie, in the ratio of 1.81597 Curro Shares for every PSG
Group Share held on the PSG Group Unbundling record date;
2.1.1.3 the Kaap Agri Unbundled Shares, expected to comprise approximately 34.9
percent of the total issued share capital of Kaap Agri, to PSG Group
Shareholders by way of a pro rata distribution in specie, in the ratio of 0.12364
Kaap Agri Shares for every PSG Group Share held on the PSG Group
Unbundling record date;
2.1.1.4 the CA&S Unbundled Shares, comprising approximately 47 percent of the total
issued share capital of CA&S, to PSG Group Shareholders by way of a pro rata
distribution in specie, in the ratio of 1.03650 CA&S Shares for every PSG Group
Share held on the PSG Group Unbundling record date;
2.1.1.5 the Stadio Unbundled Shares, being a portion of PSG Group’s shareholding in
that company, comprising approximately 25.1 percent of the total issued share
capital of Stadio, to PSG Group Shareholders by way of a pro rata distribution
in specie, in the ratio of 1.02216 Stadio Shares for every PSG Group Share
held on the PSG Group Unbundling record date,
in terms of section 46 of the Companies Act and section 46 of the Income Tax Act,
and amounting to a disposal of the greater part of PSG Group’s assets or
undertaking in terms of section 112 of the Companies Act;
2.1.2 implement a number of internal restructuring steps to be undertaken by PSG
Group to facilitate the PSG Group Unbundling;
2.1.3 propose that, inter-conditionally with the PSG Group Unbundling, Exiting
Shareholders dispose of their shareholding in PSG Group to PSG Group by way
of a scheme of arrangement under section 114 of the Companies Act, in terms of
the PSG Group Scheme, for a cash scheme consideration of R23.00 per PSG
Group Share, following which the Remaining Shareholders of PSG Group will be
the only shareholders of PSG Group; and
2.1.4 be delisted from the JSE following implementation of the PSG Group Unbundling
and the PSG Group Scheme.
2.2 The purpose of this Firm Intention Announcement is to provide PSG Group
Shareholders with detailed information regarding the terms and conditions of the PSG
Group Restructuring and to advise PSG Group Shareholders that PSG Group is
ready, able and willing to proceed with the PSG Group Restructuring.
3. RATIONALE FOR THE PSG GROUP RESTRUCTURING
3.1 PSG Group is an investment holding company consisting of underlying investments
that operate across a diverse range of industries, which include financial services
(PSG Konsult), education (Curro and Stadio), food and related businesses (Zeder
and Kaap Agri), route-to-market services for fast-moving consumer goods in southern
Africa (CA&S), as well as early-stage unlisted investments in select growth sectors.
3.2 As a JSE-listed investment holding company, the main objective of PSG Group
remains to create wealth for PSG Group Shareholders on a per share basis.
However, the share price of PSG Group has unfortunately been trading at a
significant discount of approximately 30% to the value of its underlying investments
(or the so-called sum-of-the-parts value) in recent years, despite significant value-
unlock initiatives undertaken, such as the Company’s unbundling of nearly its entire
shareholding in Capitec during the financial year ended 28 February 2021, in terms
of which approximately R21bn was unlocked for PSG Group Shareholders, based on
Capitec’s closing share price on 21 April 2022.
3.3 Given the significant discount at which PSG Group has been trading to its sum-of-
the-parts value in recent times, the PSG Group Board has investigated and decided
on a value-unlock initiative by way of the PSG Group Restructuring.
3.4 The PSG Group Restructuring will entail the unbundling by PSG Group of its JSE-
listed investments in PSG Konsult, Curro, Kaap Agri, CA&S and 25.1% of the total
issued shares in Stadio to PSG Group Shareholders and thereafter the repurchase
for cash of all the PSG Group Shares held by Exiting Shareholders by way of a
scheme of arrangement in terms of section 114 of the Companies Act. The
Remaining Shareholders will then hold 100 percent of PSG Group, with its remaining
assets comprising mainly its investments in Zeder and PSG Alpha (the latter which
holds predominantly early-stage investments and a remaining shareholding in
Stadio).
3.5 The relevant steps to give effect to the PSG Group Restructuring as described in this
Firm Intention Announcement are indivisible. Ultimately, it will result in the delisting
of PSG Group from the JSE, allowing the Remaining Shareholders to focus on the
remaining investments, most notably the early-stage investments that require further
capital, management oversight and strategic input. The PSG Group Restructuring will
accordingly ease the Company's administrative and regulatory compliance
obligations, whilst at the same time unlocking significant value for Exiting
Shareholders.
3.6 The PSG Group investments forming part of the PSG Group Unbundling are mainly
established businesses with strong balance sheets and no immediate requirement
for additional capital and which no longer require an anchor shareholder.
Furthermore, they have exceptional management teams and experienced boards.
This allows the PSG Group Board to propose the PSG Group Restructuring. The
reason why the entire indirect shareholding of PSG Group in Stadio will not be
unbundled, is that PSG Group is of the view that it can still add value and support the
business operations of Stadio, even though Stadio has substantially grown and
consolidated over the last few years. This will be to the benefit of Stadio and will
therefore also benefit Exiting Shareholders. In order to achieve this goal, PSG Group
needs to retain a significant enough shareholding in Stadio following the PSG Group
Restructuring.
4. SALIENT TERMS AND MECHANICS OF THE PSG GROUP RESTRUCTURING
4.1 Implementation of the PSG Group Restructuring
4.1.1 PSG Group will, subject to the fulfilment (or, where permissible, waiver) of the PSG
Group Restructuring Conditions, unbundle the Unbundled Shares to PSG Group
Shareholders, by way of a pro rata distribution in specie in terms of section 46 of
the Companies Act and section 46 of the Income Tax Act.
4.1.2 The PSG Group Unbundling will be implemented in the distribution ratios set out
in paragraph 2.1.1 above, based on the number of PSG Group Shares held by
PSG Group Shareholders on the PSG Group Unbundling record date.
4.1.3 Inter-conditionally, but following the PSG Group Unbundling, the PSG Group
Scheme will be implemented.
4.1.4 Thereafter, following the implementation of both the PSG Group Unbundling and
the PSG Group Scheme, PSG Group is to be delisted from the JSE.
4.2 Anticipated Value Unlock
4.2.1 The table below illustrates the anticipated value to be unlocked by way of the PSG
Group Restructuring for Exiting Shareholders, calculated as at the close of
business on Monday, 28 February 2022 (prior to publication of the Detailed

share prices on the Botswana Stock Exchange on 28 February 2022 and
21 April 2022, respectively, converted from Botswana pula into South African
rand at the ruling exchange rate on those dates.
4.3 Classification
4.3.1 As all the Unbundled Shares will be listed on the JSE on the implementation of the
PSG Group Unbundling, the PSG Group Unbundling will not require the approval
of PSG Group Shareholders in terms of paragraph 5.85 of the JSE Listings
Requirements. However, the PSG Group Unbundling is deemed to constitute a
disposal of the greater part of the assets or undertaking of PSG Group in terms of
section 112 of the Companies Act and therefore requires the approval of the TRP
and the approval of PSG Group Shareholders by way of a special resolution, in
terms of the provisions of section 115 of the Companies Act.
4.3.2 As the PSG Group Unbundling constitutes a disposal in terms of section 112 of
the Companies Act, it qualifies as an “affected transaction” as defined in section
117(1)(c)(i) of the Companies Act.
4.3.3 The PSG Group Scheme will involve the repurchase of PSG Group Shares from
the Exiting Shareholders by way of a scheme of arrangement requiring
shareholder approval in terms of sections 114 and 115 of the Companies Act and
the Companies Regulations.
4.3.4 As the PSG Group Scheme constitutes a scheme of arrangement in terms of
section 114, it also qualifies as an “affected transaction” as defined in section
117(1)(c)(iii) of the Companies Act.
4.3.5 Consequently, both the PSG Group Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme are
regulated by the Companies Act and the Companies Regulations and require the
approval of the TRP.
4.4 Independent Board and Independent Expert’s Report
PSG Group has constituted the Independent Board for purposes of the PSG Group
Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme. The Independent Board is in the process
of appointing an Independent Expert in order to, inter alia, prepare a fair and
reasonable opinion for PSG Group Shareholders. The Independent Expert’s fair and
reasonable opinion, as well as the Independent Board’s recommendation to PSG
Group Shareholders in relation to the PSG Group Unbundling and the PSG Group
Scheme, will be set out in the Circular as required in terms of the Companies Act and
the Companies Regulations.
4.5 PSG Group Restructuring Conditions

and all of the conditions pertaining to each step need to be fulfilled (or where

4.5.1.3 within the period prescribed by section 164(7) of the Companies Act, no valid
demands (relating to appraisal rights) have been received by PSG Group from
any PSG Group Shareholder in terms of that section read together with section

has waived this condition on or before the relevant date set out in the Circular;

of the PSG Group Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme;

person shareholding referred to in paragraph 4.12.2.1 currently being
approximately 12.9%, comprising the Government Employees Pension Fund);

accordance with their terms; and
4.5.1.10 by no later than Friday, 29 July 2022, the shares of CA&S (which are currently

Group, which will be entitled, in its sole discretion, to waive fulfilment of such
conditions precedent, in whole or in part; and
4.5.2.2 the remainder of the PSG Group Restructuring Conditions cannot be waived.
4.5.3 PSG Group may, at any time, extend the date for fulfilment of the PSG Group
Restructuring Conditions.
4.6 Fractional Entitlements in respect of the PSG Group Unbundling
4.6.1 Where a PSG Group Shareholder’s entitlement to the Unbundled Shares in terms
of the PSG Group Unbundling, calculated in accordance with the respective
distribution ratios, gives rise to a fraction of any Unbundled Shares, such fraction
will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in allocations of whole
Unbundled Shares and a cash payment in respect of the fraction to such PSG
Group Shareholders. The remaining fractions of Unbundled Shares will be
bundled and sold on the market for the benefit of the relevant PSG Group
Shareholders to fund the cash payment referred to above.
4.6.2 In accordance with the JSE Listings Requirements, the weighted average traded
price for the Unbundled Shares on the last day to trade, plus one business day,
less 10%, will be used to calculate the cash value for the respective fractions of
the Unbundled Shares to be paid to the applicable PSG Group Shareholders.
4.6.3 Certificated Shareholders whose bank account details are not held by the Transfer
Secretaries, are requested to provide such details to the Transfer Secretaries to
enable payment of the cash amount due for the aforementioned fractions of the
Unbundled Shares. Should no details be on record, the funds will be held by the
Company in trust until such time as the details have been provided and the cash
fraction will thereafter be paid to the PSG Group Shareholder upon its request
without interest, subject to the applicable laws of prescription.
4.7 Implementation of the PSG Group Unbundling
4.7.1 Under the PSG Group Unbundling, PSG Group Shareholders will receive the
Unbundled Shares in Dematerialised form only.
4.7.2 Accordingly, all Certificated Shareholders wishing to receive their Unbundled
Shares must appoint a CSDP under the terms of the Financial Markets Act, directly
or through a Broker, to receive the Unbundled Shares on their behalf.
4.7.3 Should a Certificated Shareholder not appoint a CSDP under the terms of the
Financial Markets Act, directly or through a Broker, to receive the Unbundled
Shares on its behalf, such PSG Group Shareholder will be issued with a statement
of allocation, reflecting its Unbundled Shares, by the Transfer Secretaries. Such
PSG Group Shareholders can thereafter instruct the Transfer Secretaries to
transfer their Unbundled Shares, represented by the statement of allocation, to
their appointed CSDP or can instruct the Transfer Secretaries to issue them, at
their own risk, with a share certificate(s) at any time following the PSG Group
Unbundling.
4.7.4 If a PSG Group Shareholder is in any doubt as to what action to take in respect of
the PSG Group Unbundling, such PSG Group Shareholder should consult its
Broker, CSDP, banker, attorney or other professional advisor.
4.7.5 The PSG Group Unbundling is subject to the PSG Group Restructuring Conditions
set out above.
4.8 Implementation of the PSG Group Scheme
4.8.1 The PSG Group Scheme will be proposed by the PSG Group Board between PSG
Group and the Exiting Shareholders.
4.8.2 The Exiting Shareholders shall receive the cash scheme consideration of R23.00
per PSG Group Share repurchased from the relevant PSG Group Shareholder by
PSG Group, subject to a potential adjustment in terms of paragraph 4.14 below.
4.8.3 The PSG Group Scheme is subject to the PSG Group Restructuring Conditions
set out above.
4.9 Cash Confirmation
In accordance with Regulation 111(4) and Regulation 111(5) of the Companies
Regulations, PSG Group has provided an irrevocable bank guarantee to the TRP
which confirms that PSG Group will have sufficient cash resources in terms of
Regulation 111 to satisfy payment of the maximum possible consideration in respect
of the PSG Group Scheme.
4.10 Concert Parties
4.10.1 The Remaining Shareholders may be deemed to be concert parties with PSG
Group for purposes of the PSG Group Restructuring, as each of the Remaining
Shareholders has in principle agreed to remain PSG Group Shareholders
following the implementation of the PSG Group Restructuring.
4.10.2 The Remaining Shareholders hold, in aggregate, 34.6% of the total number of
issued PSG Group Shares (net of treasury shares).
4.11 Delisting of the PSG Group Shares
Should the PSG Group Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme be implemented,
the listing of the PSG Group Shares on the Main Board of the JSE will be terminated
immediately thereafter.
4.12 Tax considerations in relation to the PSG Group Restructuring and Foreign
Shareholders
4.12.1 PSG Group Shareholders are advised to consult their own tax advisors regarding
the tax consequences of the PSG Group Restructuring.
4.12.2 Insofar as the PSG Group Unbundling is concerned –
4.12.2.1 it is expected that the PSG Group Unbundling will qualify as an unbundling
transaction for purposes of section 46 of the Income Tax Act and will result in
rollover relief being provided to PSG Group and the PSG Group Shareholders.
However, PSG Group will incur capital gains tax (and also dividend withholding
tax in the case of disqualified person PSG Group Shareholders, if any) in
respect of the PSG Group Unbundling to disqualified person PSG Group
Shareholders, as defined in the Income Tax Act. Generally, a disqualified
person in relation to an unbundling is any person who will not be subject to tax
on a subsequent disposal of the Unbundled Shares (such as, for example,
Foreign Shareholders, retirement funds, government and public benefit
organisations) and who hold 5% or more of the shares in the unbundling
company, in this case PSG Group. The tax consequences for Foreign
Shareholders should be confirmed by such Foreign Shareholders with their
advisors;
4.12.2.2 the receipt of the Unbundled Shares in terms of the PSG Group Unbundling by
PSG Group Shareholders resident in South Africa should qualify for tax rollover
relief;
4.12.2.3 any PSG Group Shareholder holding PSG Group Shares as trading stock or on
capital account, as the case may be, will be deemed to acquire the Unbundled
Shares as trading stock or as capital assets on the same basis. Subject to
confirmation from SARS, the PSG Group Shareholders must allocate a portion
of the expenditure or base cost in respect of the PSG Group Shares to the
Unbundled Shares and reduce the expenditure or base cost in respect of the
PSG Group Shares accordingly. The PSG Group Shareholders will be deemed
to have incurred the expenditure or base cost allocated to the Unbundled
Shares on the same date that it was incurred in respect of the PSG Group
Shares;
4.12.2.4 subject to confirmation from SARS, the expenditure or base cost, as the case
may be, to be allocated to the Unbundled Shares on a proportionate basis will
be determined by applying the ratio that the market value of Unbundled Shares,
as at the last day to trade PSG Group Shares in order to be recorded in the
Register to participate in the PSG Group Unbundling, plus one business day,
bears to the sum of the market value, at the end of that day, of the Unbundled
Shares and the PSG Group Shares;
4.12.2.5 PSG Group will advise PSG Group Shareholders of the specified ratio at which
the expenditure or base cost, as the case may be, must be allocated between
the PSG Group Shares and the Unbundled Shares by way of an announcement
expected to be published on SENS on the business day immediately preceding
the record date for the PSG Group Unbundling. The allocated expenditure or
base cost, as the case may be, must be used in the determination of any profits
or losses or capital gains or losses, as the case may be, derived on any future
disposals of the PSG Group Shares and/or the Unbundled Shares;
4.12.2.6 in terms of sections 46(5) and 46(5A) of the Income Tax Act, the distribution of
the Unbundled Shares must be disregarded for dividends tax purposes and
must also not be treated as a return of capital for purposes of paragraph 76B
of the Eighth Schedule to the Income Tax Act;
4.12.2.7 the distribution of the Unbundled Shares to PSG Group Shareholders will be
exempt from the payment of any securities transfer tax.
4.12.3 Insofar as the PSG Group Scheme is concerned, it is anticipated that the specific
repurchase will not be funded by PSG Group from contributed tax capital, resulting
in it being treated as a dividend. In this context, a dividend will be subject to
dividend withholding tax unless there is a specific exemption that applies to, inter
alia, resident companies of South Africa. Securities transfer tax will be payable in
respect of the PSG Group Scheme, which will be funded by the Company.
4.13 PSG Group Shareholders who are non-resident for tax purposes in South Africa are
advised to consult their own professional tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of
the PSG Group Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme in their respective
jurisdictions, having regard to the tax laws in their jurisdiction and any applicable tax
treaties between South Africa and their country of residence.
4.14 Potential adjustment to cash scheme consideration
4.14.1 Please note that the cash scheme consideration of R23 per Share may be reduced
as per the table below. In terms of the relevant tax legislation dealing with
unbundlings, and particularly insofar it pertains to unbundling distributions made
to disqualified person shareholders, an unbundling company such as PSG Group
has no certainty regarding its potential tax exposure unless there is a mechanism
in place to regulate same and to provide certainty regarding the cash requirements
to implement a proposed transaction such as the PSG Group Restructuring.
Following below is the mechanism to be utilised to regulate such exposure, of
which more detail will be included in the Circular.
4.14.2 At the time of this Firm Intention Announcement, the Government Employees
Pension Fund (“GEPF”), being a disqualified person shareholder, holds
approximately 12.9% in the net issued share capital of PSG Group, with the capital
gains tax (“CGT”) payable pursuant thereto having been taken into consideration
to derive at the cash scheme consideration of R23 per Share. The calculation of
the CGT liability of PSG Group is thus based on a percentage equal to 12.9%.
PSG Group’s tax liability in respect of this transaction, and therefore the PSG
Group Scheme’s cash consideration, have been based on the aforesaid.
4.14.3 The final tax liability will only be determinable on or about the applicable last date
to trade prior to implementation of the PSG Group Unbundling, once certainty
regarding the extent of the disqualified person shareholding in PSG Group at such
time and the related underlying tax consequences are obtained. If there is no
change, for example, in the disqualified person shareholding in PSG Group and
the percentage holding thereof, the cash consideration for the PSG Group Scheme
will remain unchanged at R23 per Share. However, PSG Group has no control
over, inter alia, the extent of such disqualified person shareholding. Accordingly,
should PSG Group’s tax liability increase due to changes as per the above on or
before the applicable last date to trade prior to implementation of the PSG Group
Unbundling, the cash consideration of the PSG Group Scheme will potentially be
adjusted as set out below for illustrative purposes (this will only occur if the tax
circumstances change):
Adjustment to PSG Group Scheme PSG Group Scheme cash
cash consideration per Share consideration per Share
Increased
disqualified only CGT CGT and DWT* only CGT CGT and DWT*
persons
shareholding Rand Rand Rand Rand
No additional - - 23.00 23.00
5% additional (0.63) (1.32) 22.37 21.68
10% additional (1.30) (2.69) 21.70 20.31
* Assuming a reduced DWT rate of 15% in respect of disqualified person PSG Group
Shareholders.
A detailed schedule of scenarios will be included in the Circular, and factored in the
independent expert’s report. Please note that, in the unlikely event of an adjustment to
the PSG Group scheme cash consideration occurring, such reduction will not result in
the cash consideration reducing to below R20.31 per Share and that this value is
therefore the minimum amount that Exiting Shareholders will receive in terms of the PSG
Group Scheme, upon it becoming unconditional and being implemented. PSG Group
Shareholders will be updated on the state of affairs prior to the General Meeting.
5. FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS
5.1 No action has been taken by PSG Group to obtain any approval, authorisation or
exemption to permit the distribution of the Unbundled Shares and/or the PSG Group
Scheme or the possession or distribution of this Firm Intention Announcement (or any
other publicity material relating to the Unbundled Shares) in any jurisdictions other
than South Africa.
5.2 The PSG Group Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme are being conducted under
the procedural requirements and disclosure standards of South Africa which may be
different from those applicable in other jurisdictions. The legal implications of the PSG
Group Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme on persons resident or located in
jurisdictions outside of South Africa may be affected by the laws of the relevant
jurisdiction. Such persons should consult their professional advisors and inform
themselves about any applicable legal requirements, which they are obligated to
observe. It is the responsibility of any such persons participating in the PSG Group
Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme to satisfy themselves as to the full
observance of the laws of the relevant jurisdiction in connection therewith.
5.3 Foreign Shareholders should refer to and take into account the disclaimers set out at
the end of this Firm Intention Announcement and to be contained in the Circular in
relation to those jurisdictions.
6. EXCHANGE CONTROL
6.1 The Company will apply for the requisite exchange control approval from the
Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank for the PSG
Group Unbundling and the PSG Group Scheme.
6.2 The Exchange Control Regulations provide for restrictions on the exportation of
capital from the Common Monetary Area. The Common Monetary Area consists of
South Africa, the Republic of Namibia and the Kingdoms of Lesotho and eSwatini.
Transactions between residents of the countries comprising the Common Monetary
Area and foreigners are subject to Exchange Control Regulations provisions, which
are administered by the South African Reserve Bank (“SARB”).
6.3 Various reforms have been made to the Exchange Control Regulations with a view
to relax the rules pertaining to foreign investments. A considerable degree of flexibility
is built into the system and the SARB has substantial discretionary powers in
approving or rejecting a specific application that has been submitted through an
authorised dealer in foreign exchange appointed by the SARB (“Authorised
Dealer”). The relaxations of the provisions of the Exchange Control Regulations are
contained in the Currency and Exchanges Manual for Authorised Dealers (“AD
Manual”). As provided for in the Exchange Control Regulations, the SARB has also
delegated to Authorised Dealers the power to approve certain transactions, without
the SARB’s prior approval.
6.4 It was announced in the 2020 South African Budget that the Exchange Control
Regulations will be replaced by a new capital flow management framework and
regulations. Previously a distinction was made between residents, non-residents and
emigrants. The concept of “emigration” as recognised by SARB is being phased out
with effect from 1 March 2021. Exchange Control Circular 6/2021 dated
26 February 2021 and 8/2021 dated 21 May 2021 set out the changes in relation to
emigrants with effect from 1 March 2021. From this date, natural person residents
and natural person emigrants are treated identically. The process of blocking an
emigrant’s remaining assets fell away and is treated as normal fund transfers in line
with any other foreign capital allowance transfer. Authorised Dealers can now allow
the transfer of assets of an emigrant abroad provided the natural person has ceased
to be a resident of South Africa, has obtained a tax compliance status confirmation
from SARS and is tax compliant upon verification of such confirmation. To ensure a
smooth transition from the previous framework to the new framework, natural persons
that applied to emigrate under the previous framework by obtaining an MP336(b)
form that was attested to by an Authorised Dealer on or before 28 February 2021, will
be dealt with under the previous framework should their emigration applications have
been approved on or before 28 February 2021. PSG Group Shareholders should
consult their relevant Authorised Dealer should they be unsure of their status or the
way in which they need to deal with the Unbundled Shares or the proceeds from the
PSG Group Scheme.
6.5 Securities control with regard to natural persons will continue to apply until
discussions with various stakeholders have been finalised. There are no restrictions
on the part of residents to receive their Unbundled Shares. With reference to non-
residents, generally in the case of Dematerialised shares, the Unbundled Shares will
be credited directly to the share account of the relevant CSDP or Broker controlling
their portfolios and an appropriate electronic entry will be made in the relevant register
reflecting a “non-resident” endorsement. A similar process applies to Unbundled
Shares held by emigrants as these shares will be credited to the emigrant’s share
account of the relevant CSDP or Broker controlling their remaining portfolios and a
similar electronic entry will be made in the relevant register reflecting a “non-resident”
endorsement (which may be held to the order of the Authorised Dealer concerned
under whose auspices the person’s remaining assets are held, should it be relevant
in the case of emigrants).
6.6 In the case of Certificated Shares held by non-residents, the Unbundled Shares will
be endorsed “non-resident”. In the case of emigrants, the share certificates will
equally be endorsed “non-resident” (to be deposited with the Authorised Dealer under
whose auspices the remaining assets are held in appropriate cases in the case of an
emigrant or where the PSG Group Shares have been restrictively endorsed, it being
noted that it would be up to the relevant PSG Group Shareholder to notify the
Authorised Dealer).
6.7 Generally, the CSDP or the Broker will ensure that all requirements of the Exchange
Control Regulations will be adhered to in respect of their clients, whether the shares
are held in dematerialised or certificated format.
6.8 Payment of the proceeds of the PSG Group Scheme will be made into the account
of the relevant CSDP or Broker as the case may be.
6.9 PSG Group Shareholders who are not resident in, or whose registered addresses are
outside the Common Monetary Area, will need to comply with the Exchange Control
Regulations as set out at the end of this Firm Intention Announcement in relation to
those jurisdictions.
6.10 If PSG Group Shareholders are in any doubt as to what action to take, they should
consult their professional advisors.
7. BUSINESS, STRATEGY AND PROSPECTS OF PSG GROUP AFTER THE PSG
GROUP RESTRUCTURING
Following the PSG Group Restructuring, PSG Group will continue to operate, albeit as
an unlisted investment holding company, focusing on its remaining assets comprising
mainly its investments in Zeder and PSG Alpha (the latter which holds predominantly
early-stage investments and a remaining shareholding in Stadio), as well as making
further investments as and when opportune, always with the objective of creating wealth
on a per share basis for Remaining Shareholders.
