                already own, for a cash consideration of R0.42 per Share; and the Delisting of the Shares
                from the JSE if the Delisting Resolution is approved by Eligible Shareholders, or, if the
                Delisting Resolution is not approved, in terms of paragraph 1.17(a) of the Listings
                Requirements should Raubex be able to invoke the provisions of section 124 of the
                Companies Act;
