UPDATED TIMETABLE IN RESPECT OF THE PARTIAL OFFER BY SANLAM
Unless otherwise defined in this announcement, words and expressions contained herein shall have the same
meanings as assigned to them in the combined circular distributed to AfroCentric Shareholders on Thursday,
8 December 2022 (“Combined Circular”) and available on AfroCentric’s website (http://www.afrocentric.za.com/inv-
circulars.php) and on Sanlam’s website (www.sanlam.com/presentations).
Shareholders are referred to the Combined Circular and to the results of Afrocentric General Meeting announcement
published on SENS on Thursday, 12 January 2023 in which Shareholders were advised that all of the resolutions
necessary to approve the Partial Offer and the Asset for Share Transaction were approved by the requisite majority of
votes.
AfroCentric Shareholders are reminded that, whilst the Offer Closing Date is Friday, 31 March 202 3 (unless extended),
AfroCentric and Sanlam, in accordance with Regulation 102(10) of the Takeover Regulations, are required to release
a joint announcement on SENS by no later than 16:30 on Thursday, 16 February 2023, confirming whether the Partial
Offer is unconditional as to acceptances, or has terminated. Unless the Partial Offer has been accepted in respect of
31.3% of AfroCentric Shares by Thursday, 16 February 2023, Sanlam will not be entitled to waive the Minimum Shares
Percentage and the Partial Offer will terminate and no longer be open for acceptance by AfroCentric Shareholders.
If 31.3% or more of AfroCentric Shares are tendered by Thursday, 16 February 2023, Sanlam has the option to waive
the Minimum Shares Requirement and declare the Partial Offer unconditional as to acceptances ; however, if less than
31.3% of AfroCentric Shares are tendered, Sanlam has no election and the Partial Offer will terminate.
Accordingly, AfroCentric Shareholders who wish to participate in the Partial Offer are encouraged to tender
their shares before Thursday, 16 February 2023, in order to ensure that the Partial Offer will be declared
unconditional as to acceptances.
It is noted that the Combined Circular incorrectly identifies the date on which the Partial Offer must be declared
unconditional as to acceptances as being Tuesday, 14 March 2023. Further and subse quent to publishing the
Combined Circular, 27 December 2022 was declared as a public holiday in South Africa. Correcting for both the error
and the declaration of the public holiday, the revised date for the Partial Offer to be declared unconditional as to
acceptances is Thursday, 16 February 2023 and the revised date for the Partial Offer to be declared wholly
unconditional is Thursday, 16 March 2023.
