U.S.$250,000,000 3.25 PER CENT. CONVERTIBLE BONDS DUE 2022
On 23 July 2019, Implats announced the final results from its invitation (the “Invitation") to holders
("Bondholders") of its U.S.$250,000,000 3.25 per cent. convertible bonds due 2022 (the
"Bonds") to offer to exercise their Conversion Rights as defined in, and in accordance with, the
terms and conditions of the Bonds (the "Conditions") in order to convert the Bonds into ordinary
shares in Implats (the "Ordinary Shares") and receive an Invitation Consideration.
Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this announcement have the meaning
ascribed to them in the Invitation Term Sheet dated 17 July 2019, as amended on 18 July 2019
and 22 July 2019 (the “Invitation Term Sheet”).
Implats announced that, during the Invitation period, it had received indications of interest from
Bondholders representing a further U.S.$29,800,000 in principal amount of the Bonds
(“Indications of Interest”), who Implats understood were unable to submit Invitation Conversion
Notices prior to the Expiration Deadline for administrative reasons. Implats is pleased to
announce that such Bondholders have offered their Bonds for conversion and Implats has
accepted these Bonds for conversion in accordance with the Conditions and has agreed to pay
such Bondholders an amount equal to the Invitation Consideration in respect of such Bonds in
consideration of agreeing to convert their Bonds.
As U.S.$29,800,000 in aggregate principal amount of the Bonds in accordance with the
Indications of Interest have been accepted for conversion, U.S.$249,800,000 in aggregate
principal amount of the Bonds (or 99.9 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount originally
issued) will be converted.
Implats will make reasonable endeavors to accept for conversion the outstanding Bond on the
above terms if a Conversion Notice is received by the Agent in respect of such Bond prior to 5.00
p.m. (London time) on 31 July 2019 in accordance with the Conditions.
Immediately following conversion of the Bonds, as described above, U.S.$200,000 (representing
0.1 per cent. of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds originally issued) is expected to
remain outstanding. As 15 per cent. or less of the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds
originally issued will remain outstanding, Implats may elect to exercise its option to redeem
any such Bonds in accordance with the Conditions. A separate announcement will be made
regarding any such redemption.
In total, 64,204,365 Ordinary Shares are expected to be issued by Implats as a result of the
conversion of the Bonds, as described above, resulting in the total number of Ordinary Shares in
issue increasing to 798,982,743. As at the date hereof, Implats holds 16,233,994 Ordinary Shares
in treasury.
