Ordinary Resolution Number 8
Authority to issue shares for cash
In terms of the Listings Requirements, the Board of Directors requires
a general authority to enable them to issue shares in the Company for
cash. In addition, treasury shares held by a subsidiary of the Company
can only be used by the Company if the Company complies with the issue
of shares for cash requirements contained in the Listings Requirements.
Ordinary Resolution Number 9
Amendment of The VenFin Share Scheme
The existing VenFin Share Scheme is not suitable in all cases for the
incentivisation of employees. The Board of Directors is of the opinion
that the introduction of an additional arrangement in the form of a share
option scheme will improve their ability to adequately incentivise employees.
In the light of the above the Board of Directors has resolved, subject
to shareholder approval, to introduce a share option scheme as part of
the existing scheme. The share option scheme will be administered by the
trustees of the existing trust in terms of the existing trust deed, but
with its own set of rules. Save for the fact that the new arrangement
will be an option scheme, the salient terms thereof, and in particular
the provisions relating to the strike price of options and the periods
within which options can be exercised, will be similar to those contained
in the existing scheme.
The number of shares that may form the subject matter of The VenFin Share
Scheme, as well as the number of shares in respect of which a participant
may hold rights under The VenFin Share Scheme, has not been changed and
accordingly the rules of the share option scheme have been drafted in
such a manner that: the total number of ordinary shares forming the subject
matter of The VenFin Share Scheme cannot exceed 10% of all the issued
ordinary shares; the total number of B shares forming the subject matter
of The VenFin Share Scheme cannot exceed 10% of all the issued B shares;
the total number of ordinary shares in respect of which a participant
may have rights under The VenFin Share Scheme cannot exceed 1% of the
issued ordinary shares; the total number of B shares in respect of which
a participant may have rights under The VenFin Share Scheme cannot exceed
1% of the issued B shares.
SPECIAL RESOLUTION
Special Resolution Number 1
Authority to repurchase shares
The annual renewal of the authority is required in terms of the Companies
Act and the Listings Requirements. The existing authority to the directors
is due to expire at this annual general meeting, unless renewed.
