Sibanye-Stillwater: Notification in terms of Section 45(5) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008
(firmenpresse) -
Johannesburg, 10 July 2019: In terms of the provisions of Section 45(5) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008 (the Companies Act), and pursuant to the special resolution passed at the annual general meeting of the Group held on 28 May 2019, authorising the board of directors (the Board) to provide direct or indirect financial assistance to related and inter-related parties, notification is hereby given by the Group that the Board has adopted resolutions to guarantee the obligations of other companies in the Group (including subsidiaries) in connection with borrowing facilities of the Group, and to provide financial assistance to an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of the Group, namely Western Platinum Limited, by advancing loan funding to the company. These guarantees and loan funding constitutes direct and/or indirect financial assistance in terms of the provisions of Section 45(2) of the Companies Act.
The notice follows the conclusion of the Lonmin Plc (Lonmin) merger, and as part of normal administrative business practises, certain Lonmin subsidiaries are to accede to Sibanye-Stillwaters US$600 million Revolving Credit Facility (USD RCF) and R6 billion Revolving Credit Facility (ZAR RCF) as Borrowers. This necessitates the relevant subsidiarys accession to the USD RCF, the ZAR RCF and the US$700 million High Yield Bonds (Bonds) (collectively the Facilities) as Guarantors, which results in the Group guaranteeing the obligations of these subsidiaries under the facilities. Further the Group has approved intercompany loan funding of R1 billion for Lonmin subsidiaries should they require funding prior to these accessions being concluded.
Having considered all reasonable financial circumstances of the Company in terms of and pursuant to the provisions of Section 45 as read with Section 4 of the Companies Act, the Board satisfied itself that:
- immediately after providing the financial assistance referred to above, the Company would satisfy the solvency and liquidity test contemplated in Section 4 of the Act
- all relevant conditions and restrictions relating to the granting of such financial assistance by the Company contained in the Company''s memorandum of incorporation are satisfied
- the terms and conditions on which such financial assistance is to be given are fair and reasonable to the Company
