Information regarding the renaming and share consolidation
Following the name change and share consolidation, it is necessary to recall the share certificates from Certificated SacOil Shareholders in order to replace them with certificates reflecting the Name Change, Share Consolidation and the new ISIN.
Dematerialised SacOil Shareholders do not hold share certificates and consequently, there is no surrender procedure applicable to them as their shareholding particulars will automatically be updated by their CSDP or Broker.
Certificated SacOil Shareholders should complete the Form of Surrender (yellow) in the Circular to Shareholders dated 31 August 2017 and return it, together with their share certificates or other documents of title, to the Transfer Secretaries. New share certificates will be posted by registered post in South Africa and the United Kingdom, to Certificated Shareholders, at their own risk, who have surrendered their documents of title, within 5 (five) business days after receipt of the existing and documents of title.
If any Documents of Title have been lost or destroyed and the Certificated SacOil Shareholder concerned produces evidence to this effect to the satisfaction of the Transfer Secretaries, then the Transfer Secretaries may dispense with the surrender of such existing Documents of Title against the provision of an indemnity, acceptable to, and in favour of, the Company, by the Certificated SacOil Shareholder concerned.
