Acceptance of long-term incentives by Directors and Company Secretary
In compliance with the JSE Limited Listings Requirements, shareholders are advised of the following
off-market acceptances of ordinary shares and options in respect of ordinary shares on 26 November
2019.
The routine long-term incentive schemes (LTI’s), which have been approved by shareholders, were
designed to be rolling in nature, such that shares vesting on an annual basis would be replaced by
additional awards. The dealings disclosed herein represent the ‘top up award’ for those LTI’s vesting
in November 2019. The final award made to the Director / Company Secretary is the difference
between the share price and the option strike price multiplied by number of options granted, subject to
meeting additional vesting criteria. If at maturity the share price is less than the option strike price the
option expires out of the money.
