SABCAP’S PROPOSED INDIRECT INVESTMENT IN ARB THROUGH MEH AND MASIMONG
Sabcap shareholders are referred to the announcements released on the Stock Exchange News Service
(SENS) on 25 and 27 January 2022 in which they were advised that Sabcap had subscribed, at nominal
value, for a 49,9% equity interest in Masimong Electrical Holdings Proprietary Limited (MEH) and had
committed loan funding and guarantees of R223,5m to MEH in order to facilitate an offer by MEH to
acquire all the shares in ARB Holdings Limited (ARB) not held by the Alan Burke family pursuant to a
scheme of arrangement (Scheme) and subsequent delisting of ARB from the Johannesburg Stock
Exchange (Offer).
The ARB shares subject to the Offer total 87 107 061, representing 37,07% of the ARB shares in issue
(Offer Shares). The Offer price is 800 cents per Offer Share resulting in a total Offer consideration of
R696,9m (before Offer related costs).
Sabcap shareholders are further referred to the SENS announcement released by ARB today advising
that all the resolutions proposed at the general meeting of ARB shareholders convened in order to
consider and, if deemed fit, to implement the terms of the Offer were approved by 99,9% of the
voteable ARB shares. The implementation of the Scheme remains subject to the fulfillment, or waiver,
where applicable,of a number of Scheme conditions and ARB will release a further announcement as
soon as practically possible.
Sabcap anticipates that the Offer will become unconditional and will be implemented in late May 2022
or June 2022. In that event, Sabcap will have an indirect, look through investment in ARB of 18,5%
through MEH and 1,86% through its 10% shareholding in Masimong Group Holdings Proprietary Limited
(Masimong).
