IMPORTANT LEGAL NOTICES

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 10 of this Circular have been used in this disclaimer.

APPLICABLE LAWS

The release, publication or distribution of this Circular in certain jurisdictions may be restricted by law and therefore persons in any such jurisdictions into which this Circular is released, published or distributed should inform themselves about and observe such restrictions. Any failure to comply with the applicable restrictions may constitute a violation of the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This Circular does not constitute the solicitation of an offer to purchase or subscribe for shares or a solicitation of any vote or approval in any jurisdiction in which such solicitation would be unlawful.

The Scheme, which is the subject of this Circular, may be affected by the laws of the relevant jurisdictions of Foreign Shareholders. Such Foreign Shareholders should familiarise themselves with and observe any applicable legal requirements of such jurisdictions. It is the responsibility of any Foreign Shareholder to satisfy himself as to the full observance of the laws and regulatory requirements of the relevant jurisdiction in connection with the Scheme, which is the subject of this Circular, including the obtaining of any governmental, exchange control or other consents or the making of any filings which may be required, the compliance with other necessary formalities, the payment of any issue, transfer or other taxes or other requisite payments due to such jurisdiction.

The Scheme is governed by the law of South Africa and is subject to any applicable laws and regulations, including the Companies Act and the Takeover Regulations.

Any Shareholder who is in doubt as to their position, including, without limitation, their tax status, should consult an appropriate independent professional adviser in the relevant jurisdiction without delay.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Circular contains statements about Holdsport and Long4Life that are or may be forward-looking statements. All  statements, other than statements of historical fact, are, or may be deemed to be, forward-looking statements, including, without limitation, those concerning: strategy; the economic outlook for the industry; operating results; growth prospects and outlook for operations, individually or in the aggregate; liquidity and capital resources and expenditure and the outcome and consequences of any pending litigation proceedings. These forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather reflect current expectations concerning future results and events and generally may be identif ied by the use of forward-looking words or phrases such as “believe”, “aim”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “foresee”, “forecast”, “likely”, “should”, “planned”, “may”, “estimated”, “potential” or similar words and phrases.

Examples of forward-looking statements include statements regarding a future financial position or future profits, cash flows, corporate strategy, anticipated levels of growth, estimates of capital expenditure, acquisition strategy, and expansion prospects for future capital expenditure levels and other economic factors, such as, inter alia, interest rates.

By their nature, forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties because they relate to events and depend on circumstances that may or may not occur in the future. Holdsport and Long4Life caution that forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. Actual results, financial and operating conditions, liquidity and the developments within the industry in which Holdsport and Long4Life operate may differ materially from those made in, or suggested by, the forward-looking statements contained in this Circular.

All these forward-looking statements are based on estimates and assumptions, as regards Holdsport, made by Holdsport and Long4Life as communicated in publicly available documents issued by Holdsport and Long4Life, all of which estimates and assumptions, although Holdsport and Long4Life believe them to be reasonable, are inherently uncertain. Such estimates, assumptions or statements may not eventuate. Factors which may cause the actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied in those statements or assumptions include other matters not yet known to Holdsport and Long4Life or not currently considered material by Holdsport and Long4Life.

Shareholders should keep in mind that any forward-looking statement made in this Circular or elsewhere is applicable only at the date on which such forward-looking statement is made. New factors that could cause the business of Holdsport and Long4Life not to develop as expected may emerge from time to time and it is not possible to predict all of them. Further, the extent to which any factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statement are not known. Holdsport and Long4Life have no duty to, and does not intend to, update or revise the forward-looking statements contained in this Circular after the date of issue of this Circular, except as may be required by law.

Any change will be released on SENS and published in the South African press.

2. Shareholders are referred to paragraph 5.7 of the Circular (which contains a summary of Dissenting Shareholders’ Appraisal Rights in respect of the Scheme) regarding timing considerations relating to the Appraisal Rights afforded to Shareholders.

3. Shareholders should note that as transactions in Shares are settled in the electronic settlement system used by Strate, settlement of trades takes place three Business Days after such trade. Therefore persons who acquire Shares after the Voting Last Day to Trade (i.e. 19 September 2017) will not be eligible to vote at the Scheme Meeting, but will, provided the Scheme is approved and they acquire the Holdsport Shares on or prior to the Scheme Last Day to Trade (expected to be 17 October 2017), participate in the Scheme (i.e. sell their Shares to Long4Life, or its nominee in accordance with the Scheme for the Scheme Consideration).

4. A Shareholder may submit a Form of Proxy at any time before the commencement of the Scheme Meeting (or any adjournment of the Scheme Meeting) or hand it to the Chairman of the Scheme Meeting before the appointed proxy exercises any of the relevant Shareholder’s rights at the Scheme Meeting (or any adjournment of the Scheme Meeting), provided that should a Shareholder lodge a Form of Proxy with the Transfer Secretaries less than 48 hours (excluding Saturdays, Sundays and official public holidays) before the Scheme Meeting, such Shareholder will also be required to furnish a copy of such Form of Proxy to the Chairman of the Scheme Meeting before the appointed proxy exercises any of such Shareholder’s rights at the Scheme Meeting (or adjourned or postponed Scheme Meeting).

5. If the Scheme Meeting is adjourned or postponed, Forms of Proxy submitted for the initial Scheme Meeting will remain valid in respect of any adjournment or postponement of the Scheme Meeting.

1. INTRODUCTION

In the Firm Intention Announcement released by Holdsport and Long4Life on SENS on Tuesday, 25 July 2017, Shareholders were informed that Long4Life had made an offer to acquire the Scheme Shares for the Scheme Consideration in terms of which Scheme Participants can elect to receive either:

• the Option A Scheme Consideration, being 12.10 Long4Life Shares per Scheme Share; or

• the Option B Scheme Consideration, being 11.20 Long4Life Shares and R5.00 payable in cash per Scheme Share.

To the extent that certain Scheme Participants elect the Option A Scheme Consideration and not the Option B Scheme Consideration, those Scheme Participants who elect the Option B Scheme Consideration will be afforded the opportunity to apply for Excess Scheme Cash in accordance with paragraph 5.3.3.

Implementation of the Scheme is subject to the fulfilment or waiver of the Conditions Precedent including, inter alia, approval of the Scheme by Scheme Members.

In the event that the Scheme becomes operative, the listing of all of Holdsport’s Shares on the Main Board of the JSE will be terminated, and Scheme Participants will be deemed to have disposed of all of the Scheme Shares for the Scheme Consideration, thereby constituting Holdsport as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Long4Life.

2. PURPOSE OF THIS CIRCULAR

The purpose of this Circular is to provide Holdsport Shareholders with relevant information regarding the Scheme, including, inter alia, the report of the Independent Expert prepared in terms of section 114(3) of the Companies Act, the recommendation of the Holdsport Independent Board in respect of the Scheme, and to give notice convening the Scheme Meeting in order to consider and, if deemed fit, to pass with or without modification the resolutions necessary to approve and implement the Scheme in accordance with the Companies Act and the Takeover Regulations. A notice convening the Scheme Meeting is attached to, and forms part of, this Circular.

3. NATURE OF THE BUSINESS OF LONG4LIFE AND HOLDSPORT

3.1 Long4Life

Long4Life is an investment holding company with a lifestyle focus that seeks to generate superior returns for Long4Life Shareholders over the medium- to long-term. Long4Life plans to invest primarily in businesses with attractive growth prospects, led by strong, entrepreneurial-minded management teams. The Long4Life Board, who collectively have a wealth of operational and deal-making experience across various industries, are responsible for capital allocation and play an active role in identifying and approving attractive investment opportunities.

Long4Life operates a decentralised management structure, providing financial, strategic and management support to its investee companies. Long4Life takes a long-term view on investments, while retaining the flexibility to dispose of investments which no longer meet the investment criteria and the agility to take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

On 14 July 2017, Long4Life informed its shareholders that a Share Purchase Agreement had been concluded to acquire the entire issued share capital of Sorbet for a maximum consideration of R116 million, to be settled through a combination of cash and Long4Life shares. The acquisition is subject to a number of conditions precedent. Further information regarding the acquisition of Sorbet can be obtained in the Prospectus.

On 23 August 2017, Long4Life informed its shareholders that a Share Purchase Agreement had been concluded to acquire the entire issued share capital of Inhle for a maximum consideration of R360 million, to be settled through a combination of cash and Long4Life shares. The acquisition is subject to a number of conditions precedent. Further information regarding the acquisition of Inhle can be obtained in the Prospectus.

3.2 Holdsport

Holdsport is a leading South African cash retailer selling sport, leisure and recreational merchandise through a national store network operating the Sportsmans Warehouse and Outdoor Warehouse retail chains. The store network operates large-format stores that are mostly located in value centres in retail nodes located in South Africa and Windhoek, Namibia and recently entered Mall of Africa through a smaller-format Sportmans Warehouse store.

Sportsmans Warehouse provides a range of sports equipment, footwear and apparel catering for both individual and team sports. It operates out of 38 stores in South Africa and one in Windhoek, Namibia.

Outdoor Warehouse sells a wide range of outdoor and camping equipment, apparel and related merchandise. The focus of the chain is camping, hiking, off-road and general open-air recreation. Outdoor Warehouse operates out of 24 stores around South Africa and one in Windhoek, Namibia.

Holdsport also owns a wholesale division, Performance Brands, which is a developer and wholesaler of technical apparel and equipment. The portfolio includes the well-known brands First Ascent and Capestorm, as well as two new brands in Second Skins (technical sportswear) and African Nature (outdoor safari brand) recently acquired during 2016.

4. RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

4.1 Long4Life’s rationale for the Proposed Transaction

The Long4Life Board believes that the Proposed Transaction will fulfil the majority of Long4Life’s stated investment criteria, and that the acquisition of Holdsport will prove to be a key acquisition in building the Long4Life investment platform.

4.2 Holdsport’s rationale for the Proposed Transaction

The Holdsport Board’s view is that the Proposed Transaction represents a compelling proposition and attractive opportunity for the Holdsport Shareholders to realise value for their current shareholding, as well as the opportunity to participate in the growth opportunity in Long4Life.

Having Long4Life as the sole shareholder of Holdsport will provide Holdsport with access to Long4Life’s strong balance sheet, providing appetite and capacity for growth both acquisitively and organically, as well as access to Long4Life’s management team providing proven deal making expertise. The Proposed Transaction will provide improved efficiency of the capital structure of the business. The Long4Life platform will also provide support for existing senior management to grow the business.

5.2.2 at any time between 1 March 2017 and 17:00 on the Business Day immediately preceding the Finalisation Date of the Scheme, no Material Adverse Change has arisen in the business of Holdsport.

5.2.3 The Conditions Precedent in:

5.2.3.1 paragraphs 5.2.1.5 and 5.2.2 have been stipulated for the sole benefit of Long4Life and Long4Life shall be entitled to waive the fulfilment of the aforesaid Conditions Precedent (in whole or in part) on or before the date for fulfilment thereof on written notice to Holdsport; and

5.2.3.2 paragraphs 5.2.1.1, 5.2.1.2, 5.2.1.3, 5.2.1.4, 5.2.1.6 and 5.2.1.7 are regulatory in nature and may not be waived, unless Long4Life and Holdsport agree in writing to waive any of the aforesaid Conditions Precedent (or part thereof) on or before the date for fulfilment thereof on the basis that any such regulatory conditions are no longer (or are not) applicable to the Proposed Transaction.

5.3 Scheme Consideration

5.3.1 In the event of the Conditions Precedent to the Scheme being fulfilled, or waived, and the Scheme becoming operative, Scheme Participants can elect to receive either:

5.3.1.1 the Option A Scheme Consideration, being 12.10 Long4Life Shares per Scheme Share; or

5.3.1.2 the Option B Scheme Consideration, being 11.20 Long4Life Shares and R5.00 payable in cash per Scheme Share;

provided further that; (i) in the absence of an election being received by the Transfer Secretaries by 12:00 on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, Scheme Participants will be deemed to have elected to receive the Option B Scheme Consideration; and (ii) Dissenting Shareholders who become Scheme Participants after the Scheme Consideration Record Date, as contemplated in paragraph 5.7 below, will be deemed to have elected to receive the Option B Scheme Consideration.

21

5.3.2 To the extent that certain Scheme Participants elect the Option A Scheme Consideration and not the Option B Scheme Consideration, those Scheme Participants who elect the Option B Scheme Consideration will be afforded the opportunity to apply for Excess Scheme Cash.

5.3.3 Allocations of Excess Scheme Cash will be done between the Scheme Participants who elected to apply for Excess Scheme Cash, pro rata to their relative holdings of Scheme Shares. The allocation of Excess Scheme Cash will result in a reciprocal increase in the Cash Component and a decrease in the Share Component for Scheme Participants who elect to apply for Excess Scheme Cash. Any increase in the Cash Component and reciprocal decrease in the Share Component will be in intervals of whole Ratio Points and not fractions of Ratio Points. The total cash to be paid to all Scheme Participants will not exceed the Maximum Cash Scheme Consideration.

5.4 Fractions

5.4.1 Where a Scheme Participant’s entitlement to the Scheme Consideration, results in a fractional Share Component entitlement, such fraction of a Long4Life Share will be rounded down to the nearest whole number, resulting in allocations of whole Long4Life Shares and a cash payment will be made to the Scheme Participant for the fraction.

5.4.2 The applicable cash payment will be determined with reference to the VWAP of a Long4Life Share traded on the JSE on Wednesday, 18 October 2017, discounted by 10%. The basis for the applicable cash payment will be announced on SENS on Thursday, 19 October 2017.

5.4.3 For illustrative purposes, this Circular assumes the VWAP of a Long4Life Share traded on the JSE on Wednesday, 18 October 2017 to be 615 cents. The basis for the applicable cash payment would therefore be 553.5 cents (615 cents discounted by 10%).

5.4.4 Example of fractional entitlement:

This example assumes that a Scheme Participant holds 125 Scheme Shares at the close of business on the Scheme Consideration Record Date and that Scheme Participant elects the Option A Scheme Consideration.

Long4Life Share entitlement = 125 × 12.10 (being the Share Component entitlement under the Option A Scheme Consideration on the Scheme Consideration Record Date)

= 1 512.5 Long4Life Shares. The rounding provision described above is then applied and the Shareholder will receive:

1 512 Long4Life Shares in respect of the 125 Scheme Shares held and a cash payment for the fractional entitlement based on the 553.5 cents noted above of 553.5 x 0.5 = 276.75 cents.

5.5 Settlement of the Scheme Consideration

5.5.1 Subject to paragraphs 5.5.2 and 5.5.4 below and subject to the Scheme becoming operative, Scheme Participants will be entitled to receive the Scheme Consideration.

5.5.2 Settlement of the Scheme Consideration is subject to the Exchange Control Regulations, the salient provisions of which are set out in Annexure 8 to this Circular.

5.5.3 Holdsport or its agents will administer and effect payment of the Cash Component of the Option B Scheme Consideration and/or will transfer or post the Long4Life Share Component of the Scheme Consideration to Scheme Participants.

5.5.4 Scheme Participants who hold Dematerialised Holdsport Shares will:

5.5.4.1 if they are not Dissenting Shareholders on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, have their accounts held at their CSDPs credited with the Scheme Consideration and debited with the Scheme Shares they are transferring to Long4Life pursuant to the Scheme on the Operative Date; or

5.5.4.2 if they are still Dissenting Shareholders on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, have their accounts held at their CSDPs credited with the Scheme Consideration and debited with the Scheme Shares that they are transferring to Long4Life pursuant to the Scheme within three Business Days of the date on which they cease to be Dissenting Shareholders and become Scheme Participants.

22

5.5.5 Scheme Participants who hold Certificated Holdsport Shares and who are not Dissenting Shareholders on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, will:

5.5.5.1 if they have surrendered their Documents of Title and have completed a Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue) which is delivered, to the Transfer Secretaries on or before 12:00 on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, have their share certificates in respect of the Share Component posted to them, at their risk, within three Business Days of the Operative Date and receive the Cash Component by way of an EFT by completing the relevant section of the Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue), in which case the Cash Component will be paid to them on the Operative Date by way of EFT;

5.5.6 if they have surrendered their Documents of Title and have completed a Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue) and delivered it, to the Transfer Secretaries after 12:00 on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, have their share certificates in respect of the Share Component posted to them, at their risk, within three Business Days of the Transfer Secretaries receiving their Documents of Title and completed Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue), and receive the Cash Component by way of an EFT by completing the relevant section in Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue), within three Business Days of the Transfer Secretaries receiving their Documents of Title and completed Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue). Scheme Participants who hold Certificated Holdsport Shares that apply for Excess Scheme Cash, have surrendered their Documents of Title and have completed a Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue) which is delivered to the Transfer Secretaries on or before 12:00 on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, will only be paid the Cash Component on the Excess Cash Payment Date.

5.5.7 Scheme Participants who hold Certificated Holdsport Shares and who are Dissenting Shareholders on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, but who become Scheme Participants after the Scheme Consideration Record Date, will need to surrender their Documents of Title, together with completed Forms of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue), to the Transfer Secretaries, and will have their share certificates in respect of the Share Component and/or cheques in respect of the Cash Component posted to them, at their risk, within three Business Days of the later of the date on which the Transfer Secretaries receive their Documents of Title and completed Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue) and the date on which they cease to be Dissenting Shareholders. As noted in paragraph 5.3.1 above, such Scheme Participants will be deemed to have elected to receive the Option B Scheme Consideration.

5.5.8 Where, on or subsequent to the Operative Date, a person, who was not a registered holder of Scheme Shares on the Scheme Consideration Record Date, tenders to the Transfer Secretaries Documents of Title together with a duly stamped Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue), purporting to have been executed by or on behalf of the registered holder of such Scheme Shares and, provided that the Scheme Consideration shall not already have been posted or delivered to the registered holder of the relevant Scheme Shares, then such transfer may be accepted by Holdsport as if it were a valid transfer to such person of the Scheme Shares concerned, provided that Long4Life and Holdsport have been, if so required by either or both of them, provided with an indemnity on terms acceptable to them in respect of such Scheme Consideration.

5.5.9 The Scheme Consideration will be paid to Scheme Participants, in full, in accordance with the terms of the Scheme without regard to any lien, right of set-off, counterclaim or other analogous right to which Holdsport or Long4Life may otherwise be, or claim to be entitled.

5.5.10 If the information regarding authorised dealers is not given or written instructions to the contrary are provided but no address is given, as required in terms of paragraphs 2 and 3 of Annexure 8, the Scheme Consideration will be held in trust by Holdsport, or the Transfer Secretaries on behalf of Holdsport, for the Scheme Participants concerned, pending receipt of the necessary information or instructions. No interest will be paid on the Scheme Consideration so held.

5.5.11 If the Scheme becomes operative and a Scheme Participant has failed to return a completed Form of Election, Surrender and Transfer (blue) and return it to the Transfer Secretaries within three years after the Operative Date or, if in the case of a Dissenting Shareholder who subsequently becomes a Scheme Participant pursuant to paragraph 5.5.7 of this Circular, within three years after the date on which such Dissenting Shareholder subsequently became a Scheme Participant as aforesaid, the Share Component of the Scheme Consideration due to such Scheme Participant will be disposed of at the ruling market price and the disposal consideration, less the costs incurred in disposing of the relevant Long4Life Shares, will, together with the Cash Component of the Scheme Consideration due to the

Page 25: COMBINED CIRCULAR TO HOLDSPORT … · Financial adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Holdsport Independent Expert Reporting accountants and auditors to

23

Scheme Participants, be paid to the benefit of the Guardian’s Fund of the Master of the High Court, from which it may be claimed by the Scheme Participant, subject to the requirements imposed by the Master of the High Court.

5.6 Effects of the Scheme

The effect of the Scheme will be that Long4Life will, with effect from the Operative Date, become the registered and beneficial owner of all the Scheme Shares.

5.7 Dissenting Shareholders

Holdsport Shareholders are hereby advised of their Appraisal Rights in terms of section 164 of the Companies Act:

5.7.1 Holdsport Shareholders who wish to exercise their Appraisal Rights in terms of the aforementioned section of the Companies Act are required, before the Scheme Special Resolution to approve the Scheme is voted on at the Scheme Meeting, to give notice to the Company in writing objecting to the Scheme Special Resolution in terms of section 164(3) of the Companies Act.

5.7.2 If the Scheme Special Resolution approving the Scheme is adopted by the Company, the Company is required in terms of section 164(4) of the Companies Act, within 10 Business Days after the Company adopts the Scheme Special Resolution, to send a notice to Holdsport Shareholders who gave written notice to the Company objecting to the Scheme Special Resolution and did not withdraw such written notice or vote in support of the Scheme Special Resolution, notifying them that the Scheme Special Resolution has been adopted.

5.7.3 Holdsport Shareholders who gave written notice to the Company in terms of section 164(1) of the Companies Act (and have not withdrawn that notice), who voted against the Scheme Special Resolution approving the Scheme and who have complied with all the procedural requirements set out in section 164 may, in terms of sections 164(5) to 164(8) of the Companies Act, within 20 Business Days of receiving notice from the Company in terms of section 164(4) of the Companies Act, demand that the Company pay them a fair value for the Holdsport Shares held by that Holdsport Shareholder and in respect of which they have given the aforesaid written notice.

5.7.4 If the Company receives a demand in terms of sections 164(5) to 164(8) of the Companies Act and such demand is not withdrawn by the Operative Date, the Company shall, in accordance with section 164(11) of the Companies Act, within five Business Days of the Operative Date, make an offer to those Holdsport Shareholders to purchase such Holdsport Shares.

5.7.5 A Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a demand in terms of sections 164(5) to 164(8) may withdraw that demand before Holdsport makes an offer in accordance with section 164(11) of the Companies Act or if Holdsport fails to make such an offer. If a Dissenting Shareholder voluntarily withdraws its demand made in terms of sections 164(5) to 164(8) of the Companies Act, it will cease to be a Dissenting Shareholder and will become a Scheme Participant whose Holdsport Shares will be acquired by Long4Life, in accordance with paragraph 5.5 above, with retrospective effect from the Operative Date.

5.7.6 A Dissenting Shareholder who has sent a demand in terms of sections 164(5) to 164(8) has no further rights in respect of the Holdsport Shares in respect of which it has made such demand, other than to be paid the fair value of such Holdsport Shares, unless:

5.7.6.1 that Dissenting Shareholder withdraws that demand before Holdsport makes an offer in accordance with section 164(11) of the Companies Act;

5.7.6.2 Holdsport fails to make an offer in accordance with section 164(11) of the Companies Act and that Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its demand; or

5.7.6.3 Holdsport makes an offer in accordance with section 164(11) of the Companies Act below and the Dissenting Shareholder allows such offer to lapse,

in which case that Holdsport Shareholder’s rights shall, in terms of section 164(10) of the Companies Act, be reinstated without interruption.

5.7.7 The offer made in accordance with section 164(11) of the Companies Act will, in terms of section 164(12)(b) of the Companies Act, lapse if it is not accepted by the Dissenting Shareholder within 30 Business Days after it was made. If the Dissenting Shareholder allows that offer to lapse, it

Page 26: COMBINED CIRCULAR TO HOLDSPORT … · Financial adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Holdsport Independent Expert Reporting accountants and auditors to

24

will cease to be a Dissenting Shareholder and will become a Scheme Participant whose Holdsport Shares will be acquired by Long4Life, in accordance with paragraph 5.5 above, with retrospective effect from the Operative Date.

5.7.8 A Dissenting Shareholder who accepts an offer made in terms of section 164(11) of the Companies Act will become an Excluded Dissenting Shareholder and will not participate in the Scheme. The Excluded Dissenting Shareholder must thereafter, if it (i) holds Certificated Holdsport Shares tender the Documents of Title in respect of such Certificated Holdsport Shares to Holdsport or the Transfer Secretaries, or (ii) holds Dematerialised Holdsport Shares, instruct its CSDP or Broker to transfer those Holdsport Shares to Holdsport or the Transfer Secretaries. Holdsport must pay that Excluded Dissenting Shareholder the agreed amount within 10 Business Days after the Excluded Dissenting Shareholder has accepted the offer and tendered the Documents of Title or directed the transfer to Holdsport of the Dematerialised Holdsport Shares.

5.7.9 A Dissenting Shareholder who considers the offer made by Holdsport in accordance with section 164(11) of the Companies Act to be inadequate, may, in accordance with section 164(14) of the Companies Act, apply to a Court to determine a fair value in respect of the Holdsport Shares that were the subject of that demand, and an order requiring Holdsport to pay the Dissenting Shareholder the fair value so determined. The Court will, in accordance with section 164(15)(v) of the Companies Act, be obliged to make an order requiring:

5.7.9.1 the Dissenting Shareholders to either withdraw their respective demands or to tender their Holdsport Shares as contemplated in paragraph 5.7.10; and

5.7.9.2 Holdsport to pay the fair value in respect of the Holdsport Shares (as determined by the Court) to each Dissenting Shareholder who tenders its Holdsport Shares, subject to any conditions the Court considers necessary to ensure that Holdsport fulfills its obligations under section 164 of the Companies Act.

5.7.10 If, pursuant to the order of the Court, any Dissenting Shareholder withdraws its demand, the Dissenting Shareholder will cease to be a Dissenting Shareholder and will become a Scheme Participant whose Holdsport Shares will be acquired by Long4Life, in accordance with paragraph 5.5 above, with retrospective effect from the Operative Date.

5.7.11 If, pursuant to the order of the Court, a Dissenting Shareholder tenders its Holdsport Shares to Holdsport, such Dissenting Shareholder will become an Excluded Dissenting Shareholder and will not participate in the Scheme.

5.7.12 A copy of section 164 of the Companies Act, which sets out the Appraisal Rights, is included in Annexure 10 to this Circular.

5.8 Exclusivity and break fee

5.8.1 The Firm Intention Offer Letter contains provisions relating to the implementation of the Proposed Transaction and certain undertakings.

5.8.2 In this regard, Holdsport has undertaken that, during the period between the Signature Date and the Effective Date, it will not (and will procure that no other member of the Holdsport Group or any of their directors, officers, agents and/or professional advisers), directly or indirectly, save as may be required by applicable law (including the fiduciary duties of the Holdsport Board):

5.8.2.1 solicit, invite, initiate or encourage any expression of interest, enquiry, proposal or offer regarding a Competing Offer;

5.8.2.2 participate in any discussions or negotiations regarding a Competing Offer, unless such an offer is a Superior Offer;

5.8.2.3 agree to, approve or recommend a Competing Offer, unless the Competing Offer constitutes a Superior Offer; or

5.8.2.4 enter into any agreement related to a Competing Offer, unless such offer has not come about as a result of a breach of paragraph 5.8.2.1 and constitutes a Superior Offer.

5.8.3 Holdsport has agreed to notify Long4Life of and provide Long4Life with, save as may prohibited by applicable law (including the fiduciary duties of the Holdsport Board) or any confidentiality obligation of Holdsport in relation to the Competing Offer, the name of the person from whom it receives a

25

Competing Offer, copies of all other due diligence material exchanged between such person and Holdsport to the extent not already provided to Long4Life and the details of the material terms and conditions of the Competing Offer.

5.8.4 If Holdsport announces a Superior Offer, Long4Life will have 20 Business Days to match or better the Competing Offer, in which event, Holdsport shall not be entitled to implement the Competing Offer.

5.8.5 Each of Long4Life and Holdsport has undertaken to the other to pay a break fee equal to the actual costs incurred for professional advisers fees and expenses in connection with the Proposed Transaction limited to a maximum amount of R5 million (representing 0.2% of the Scheme Consideration) if, inter alia, –

5.8.5.1 in the case of Holdsport: (i) the Holdsport Independent Board after recommending that the Holdsport Shareholders vote in favour of the Scheme withdraws its recommendation for the Scheme, (ii) the Independent Holdsport Board recommends a Competing Offer, or (iii) it breaches any of its material undertakings in relation to the Proposed Transaction, which, if capable of being remedied, is not timeously remedied; or

5.8.5.2 in the case of Long4Life: (i) the Long4Life Shareholders do not pass the requisite ordinary and special resolutions required to be passed by them in order to implement the Scheme; or (ii) if Long4Life fails to take all steps that are reasonably required in order to procure the implementation of the Scheme within the timeframes required for such steps in terms of the Companies Act, the Takeover Regulations and the JSE (or such extended periods of time as may be approved by the relevant regulatory authorities).

5.9 Funding of the Scheme Consideration

5.9.1 Share Component

Long4Life has sufficient authorised but unissued ordinary shares in its share capital to settle the Share Component of the Option A Scheme Consideration or the Option B Scheme Consideration, which ever may become applicable.

5.9.2 Cash Component

The Maximum Cash Scheme Consideration, as well as its other expenses related to the Proposed Transaction, will be funded by Long4Life through use of the existing resources of Long4Life.

Long4Life has delivered to the TRP an irrevocable, unconditional bank guarantee (in conformity with Regulations 111(4) and 111(5) of the Takeover Regulations) issued by The Standard Bank of South Africa Limited for the Maximum Cash Scheme Consideration.

5.10 Foreign Shareholders and Exchange Control Regulations

Annexure 8 to this Circular contains a summary of the Exchange Control Regulations as they apply to Scheme Participants. Scheme Participants who are Foreign Shareholders must satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of any relevant jurisdiction concerning the receipt of the Scheme Consideration, including (without limitation) obtaining any requisite governmental or other consents, observing any other requisite formalities and paying any issue, transfer or other taxes due in such jurisdiction. If in doubt, Scheme Participants should consult their professional advisers immediately.

5.11 Restricted Jurisdictions

5.11.1 To the extent that the release, publication or distribution of this Circular in certain jurisdictions outside of South Africa may be restricted or prohibited by the laws of such jurisdiction, then this Circular is deemed to have been provided for information purposes only and neither the Holdsport Board nor the Long4Life Board accept any responsibility for any failure by Foreign Shareholders to inform themselves about, and to observe, any applicable legal requirements in any such relevant foreign jurisdiction.

5.11.2 Holdsport Shareholders who are in doubt as to their position should consult their professional advisers immediately.

6. TAX CONSEQUENCES FOR SHAREHOLDERS

The tax implications of the Scheme on Shareholders will depend on the individual tax circumstances of each Shareholder. Shareholders should seek advice from appropriate professional advisers if they are in any doubt whatsoever about their tax position.

7. PRO FORMA EARNINGS AND NET ASSET VALUE EFFECTS PERTAINING TO THE SCHEME

7.1 Holdsport Shareholder

7.1.1 The table below sets out the pro forma financial effects of the election of the Scheme on a Holdsport Shareholder.

7.1.2 Pro forma financial effects are presented in respect of the year ended 28 February 2017 for purposes of the Companies Act, Regulation 106 requirements as well as the JSE Listings Requirements.

7.1.3 The reasonable assurance report on the pro  forma financial information relating to a Holdsport Shareholder prepared by the Independent Reporting Accountant to Holdsport is set out in Annexure 3 to this Circular.

7.1.4 The summary pro forma financial effects of the Scheme on Holdsport Shareholders, for which the Holdsport and Long4Life Board is responsible, has been provided for illustrative purposes only to provide information about how the election of the Scheme may have affected Holdsport Shareholders.

7.1.5 Due to its nature, the pro forma financial information may not be a true reflection of the actual impact of the election of the Scheme.

7.1.6 Holdsport’s results have been consolidated into Long4Life’s results in order to produce pro  forma financial information of the Consolidated Group (“Consolidated Group”) after implementation of the Scheme. It should be noted that the consolidated Holdsport Group will not remain as a stand-alone group post the Scheme. Clarity on the consolidation adjustments has been provided in Annexure 2 to this Circular.

7.1.7 The pro  forma financial information of the Consolidated Group has been prepared in accordance with IFRS and Long4Life’s accounting policies. The pro forma financial information of the Consolidated Group has been prepared on the assumption that the Scheme became effective on 1 March 2016 for the statement of comprehensive income and 28 February 2017 in respect of the statement of financial position from a Holdsport perspective and on 1 April 2016 for the statement of comprehensive income and 31 March 2017 in respect of the statement of financial position from a Long4Life perspective.

7.1.8 The pro  forma financial effects on Holdsport Shareholders have been derived by multiplying the pro forma financial information of the Consolidated Group by the switch ratio applicable to the Share Component of the Scheme Consideration, being:

A. 12.10 Long4Life Shares per Scheme Share under the Option A Scheme Consideration; and

B. 11.20 Long4Life Shares and R5.00 payable in cash per Scheme Share under the Option B Scheme Consideration.

7.1.9 Although the market capitalisation of Holdsport as at the Last Practicable Date is larger than Long4Life’s market capitalisation, both the Holdsport Board and the Long4Life Board are of the view that the Scheme should not be disclosed as a reverse acquisition in accordance with IFRS. With reference to the pertinent facts and circumstances, the following consideration as laid out in IFRS3 Business Combinations Appendix B15 and B16, were taken into account to reach this conclusion:

• Long4Life’s current total assets and net asset value are both greater than that of Holdsport based on its latest reported figures, being 31 March 2017 and 28 February 2017, respectively;

• The senior management of the combined group will be controlled by Long4Life management after the Scheme; and

• The Scheme Consideration represents a premium over the pre-transaction market value of Holdsport.

7.1.10 The Directors of Holdsport and Long4Life are responsible for the preparation of the pro  forma financial information contained in this Circular, the table below and Annexure 2.

Notes:

1. Earnings per share and net asset value per share figures take into account the respective switch ratios for the Option A Scheme Consideration and Option B Scheme Consideration.

2. The pro forma financial effects for the Holdsport Shareholders that have selected the Option B Scheme Consideration has been adjusted to include: (i) the R5 cash to the net asset value and tangible net asset value per share calculations and (ii) the after-tax interest (assumed for the purposes of this calculation to be taxed at the South African corporate tax rate of 28%) on the R5 cash at 7.2875% added to their earnings, headline and core headline earnings per share calculations.

7.2 Long4Life

7.2.1 The table below sets out the pro forma financial effects of the Scheme on the results of Long4Life.

7.2.2 Pro forma financial effects are presented in respect of the year ended 31 March 2017 for purposes of the Companies Act, Regulation 106 requirements as well as the JSE Listings Requirements.

7.2.3 The pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year ended 31 March 2017 and pro forma consolidated statement of financial position at 31 March 2017 have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, based on current information available to management, in order to provide information about the financial effects of the Scheme on the financial position and financial results of Long4Life. Due to its nature, the pro  forma financial information may not fairly present Long4Life’s financial position, changes in equity and results of operations or cash flows after the Scheme, and are based on the assumptions that:

• for the purpose of calculating earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the year ended 31 March 2017, the Scheme was implemented on 1 April 2016; and

• for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share at 31 March 2017, the Scheme was implemented on 31 March 2017.

7.2.4 In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any

Page 30: COMBINED CIRCULAR TO HOLDSPORT … · Financial adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Holdsport Independent Expert Reporting accountants and auditors to

28

post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing.

7.2.5 The pro  forma financials effects of the acquisitions of Sorbet and Inhle have not been taken into account as regulatory and non-regulatory conditions precedent remain outstanding at the Last Practicable Date.

7.2.6 The accounting policies of Long4Life have been used in calculating the pro  forma financial effects. The accounting policies used are consistent with the existing accounting policies used by Long4Life for its latest annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 and the accounting policies herein have been applied on the same basis.

7.2.7 Although the market capitalisation of Holdsport as at the Last Practicable Date is larger than Long4Life’s market capitalisation, both the Holdsport Board and the Long4Life Board are of the view that the Proposed Transaction should not be disclosed as a reverse acquisition in accordance with IFRS. With reference to the pertinent facts and circumstances, the following consideration as laid out in IFRS3 Business Combinations Appendix B15 and B16, were taken into account to reach this conclusion:

• Long4Life’s current total assets and net asset value are both greater than that of Holdsport based on its latest reported figures;

• The senior management of the combined group will be controlled by Long4Life management after the Proposed Transaction; and

• The Scheme Consideration represents a premium over the pre-transaction market value of Holdsport.

Subject to the Scheme becoming operative, the JSE has granted approval for the suspension of the listing on the JSE of the Holdsport Shares with effect from the commencement of trade on the JSE on Wednesday, 18 October 2017 and the termination of the listing on the JSE of the Holdsport Shares from the commencement of trade on Thursday, 26 October 2017.

9. TREATMENT OF SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN

The Holdsport Board has determined that the participants under the Forfeitable Share Plan (who have been issued with Holdsport Shares under the Forfeitable Share Plan in terms of which such participants have full voting rights and dividend rights in respect of such Holdsport Shares) are entitled to participate in the Scheme (equally with all other Holdsport Shareholders) in respect of all of their Holdsport Shares but on the basis that:

• In terms of the Forfeitable Share Plan Rules, a portion of the Holdsport Shares held by a Forfeitable Share Plan Participant would vest (“Unrestricted HSP Shares”) and a portion would not vest (i.e. still be subject to the restrictions contemplated in terms of the Forfeitable Share Plan Rules) (“Restricted HSP Shares”).

• The portion of the Long4Life Shares to be received by such participants as Scheme Consideration pursuant to the implementation of the Scheme attributable to the Restricted HSP Shares will continue to be subject to the same restrictions and other terms and conditions as set out in the award letters issued to such participants.

• Forfeitable Share Plan Participants under the Forfeitable Share Plan Rules who are also Scheme Participants shall only be entitled to elect (and receive) the Option A Scheme Consideration in respect of Restricted HSP Shares.

The Long4Life Board has reviewed the Forfeitable Share Plan and is considering adopting the Forfeitable Share Plan or a plan that is substantially similar to the Forfeitable Share Plan on a group wide basis in 2018, subject to requisite shareholder approval at a shareholder meeting.

10. DIRECTORS’ REMUNERATION AND SERVICE CONTRACTS OF DIRECTORS OF HOLDSPORT

Any remuneration received by the Directors of Holdsport in the form of Holdsport Shares may in future be awarded in the form of Long4Life Shares.

There are no service contracts in place for executive and non-executive directors to act in their capacity as members of the Holdsport Board.

19. OPINIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

19.1 Appointment of an Independent Expert

The Holdsport Independent Board has appointed the Independent Expert, an independent adviser acceptable to the TRP, to provide an independent professional expert’s opinion regarding the Scheme, and to make appropriate recommendations to the Holdsport Independent Board in the form of a fair and reasonable opinion.

19.2 Report of the Independent Expert

The Independent Expert has, as contemplated in Regulation 110(3) of the Takeover Regulations, performed a valuation on the Holdsport Shares and a valuation on the Long4Life Shares, as contemplated in Regulation 110(10), of the Takeover Regulations.

The report of the Independent Expert also includes the items required by section 114(3) of the Companies Act.

Taking into consideration the terms and conditions of the Scheme, the Independent Expert is of the opinion that such terms and conditions are fair and reasonable to Holdsport Shareholders. Holdsport Shareholders are referred to Annexure 1 to this Circular which sets out the full text of the report of the Independent Expert regarding the Scheme.

19.3 Views of the Holdsport Independent Board

The Holdsport Independent Board, after due consideration of the report of the Independent Expert regarding the Scheme, and in accordance with its responsibilities in terms of Regulation 110 of the Takeover Regulations, has formed a view of the range of the fair value of the Holdsport Shares and the Long4Life Shares, which accords with the valuation range contained in the Independent Expert’s opinion. The Holdsport Independent Board has not received any other offers during the Offer Period or within six months before the Offer Period. The Scheme Consideration is within the Independent Expert’s valuation range for the fair value per Holdsport Share and exceeds the current traded price per Holdsport Share if based on the quoted price per Long4Life Share when the Firm Intention Announcement was announced on SENS on 25 July 2017.

The Holdsport Independent Board, taking into account the report of the Independent Expert regarding the Scheme, has considered the terms and conditions thereof, and are unanimously of the opinion that the terms and conditions of the Scheme are fair and reasonable to Holdsport Shareholders and, accordingly, recommend that Holdsport Shareholders vote in favour of the resolutions to be proposed at the Scheme Meeting.

ANNEXURE 1

OPINION OF THE INDEPENDENT EXPERT

25 August 2017

The Independent BoardHoldsport Limited (“Holdsport”)The Mill House1 Canterbury StreetCape Town8001

Dear Sirs,

INDEPENDENT FAIR AND REASONABLE REPORT IN RESPECT OF THE PROPOSED SCHEME OF ARRANGEMENT IN TERMS OF WHICH LONG4LIFE LIMITED WILL ACQUIRE THE ENTIRE ISSUED SHARE CAPITAL OF HOLDSPORT LIMITED

1. INTRODUCTION

In a joint announcement published on the Stock Exchange News Service (“SENS”) of the JSE Limited (“JSE”) on 25 July 2017 by Holdsport Limited (“Holdsport” or “the Company”) and Long4Life Limited (“Long4Life”), shareholders were informed that Long4Life had made an offer to acquire 100% of the issued ordinary share capital of Holdsport (“Scheme Shares”) from Holdsport shareholders (“Holdsport Shareholders”) not already held (the “Proposed Transaction”).

The Proposed Transaction will be implemented by way of a scheme of arrangement (“Scheme”) in terms of section 114(1) of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended (“Companies Act”), to be proposed by the Holdsport board of directors (the “Board”) between Holdsport and Holdsport Shareholders. In terms of the Scheme, Holdsport Shareholders can elect to receive either:

• 12.1 ordinary shares in Long4Life (“Long4Life Shares”) for every one Holdsport Share held by them (“Option A Scheme Consideration”); or

• 11.2 Long4Life Shares and R5.00 in cash for every one Holdsport Share held by them (“Option B Scheme Consideration”), subject to a maximum cash consideration of R204 million,

(Collectively referred to as “the Scheme Consideration”).

Full particulars of the Proposed Transaction are contained in the circular (“the Circular”) to Holdsport Shareholders to be dated on or about 31 August 2017, of which this opinion forms part.

2. SCOPE

PSG Capital Proprietary Limited (“PSG Capital”) has been appointed by the Board as the independent expert to advise, in accordance with the Companies Act on whether the terms and conditions of the Scheme, are fair and reasonable as far as Holdsport Shareholders are concerned.

3. RESPONSIBILITY

Compliance with the Companies Act is the responsibility of the Board. PSG Capital’s responsibility is to report on the terms and conditions of the Proposed Transaction as they relate to Holdsport Shareholders.

We confirm that our fair and reasonable opinion (the “Opinion”) has been provided to the Board, which Opinion will be distributed to Holdsport Shareholders in connection with the Proposed Transaction, requiring shareholder approval of same. We understand that the results of our work will be used by the Board to satisfy the requirements of the Companies Act.

4. DEFINITION OF THE TERMS “FAIR” AND “REASONABLE”

A transaction will generally be considered fair to shareholders if the benefits received by shareholders, as a result of the transaction, are equal to or greater than the value surrendered.

Page 39: COMBINED CIRCULAR TO HOLDSPORT … · Financial adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Holdsport Independent Expert Reporting accountants and auditors to

37

The assessment of fairness is primarily based on quantitative considerations. Accordingly, the Scheme may be considered fair if the Scheme Consideration is equal to or greater than the value of the Holdsport Shares being surrendered by Holdsport Shareholders.

In terms of the Companies Regulations, a transaction will be considered reasonable if the value received by the shareholders in terms of the corporate action is higher than the market price of the company’s securities at the time that the corporate action was announced.

The Proposed Transaction may therefore be considered reasonable if the Scheme Consideration exceeds the market value of the Holdsport Shares as at the date of the announcement of the Proposed Transaction.

In addition, other qualitative factors are also considered in evaluating the reasonability of the Scheme Consideration. Even though the consideration may differ from the market value of the assets being acquired, a transaction may still be reasonable after considering other significant qualitative factors.

We have applied the aforementioned principles in preparing our Opinion. This fair and reasonable opinion does not purport to cater for an individual shareholder’s position but rather the general body of shareholders subject to the Scheme. A shareholder’s decision regarding fair and reasonableness of the terms of the Scheme may be influenced by their particular circumstances (for example taxation and the original price paid for the shares).

5. SOURCES OF INFORMATION

In the course of our valuation analysis, we relied upon financial and other information, including prospective financial information, obtained from Holdsport management (“Management”), Long4Life management and from various public, financial and industry sources.

• Considered other relevant facts and information relevant to concluding this opinion.

9. VALUATION METHODOLOGY

In considering the Proposed Transaction, PSG Capital performed an independent valuation of Long4Life and Holdsport as at 30 June 2017.

For our valuation of Long4Life, we have applied a net asset valuation as valuation methodology, given the fact that Long4Life has yet to complete any acquisitions and the majority of the net asset value of the company comprise of cash or cash equivalents. No premium or other adjustments were taken into account in the valuation of Long4Life for its management experience and expertise or any other qualitative considerations.

For our valuation of Holdsport, we have applied the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) valuation method as our primary valuation methodology. We furthermore applied a market multiple approach as a secondary valuation approach.

Key external and internal value drivers identified in the valuation of Holdsport include, inter alia:

• revenue growth, EBITDA margins, net profit/loss margins, expected growth rates in revenue and EBITDA, capital expenditure requirements, working capital requirements and the optimal weighted average cost of capital.

The key value drivers as set out above are influenced by various factors, including, inter alia:

• the growth opportunities in the industry in which Holdsport operate; and

• the ability of Holdsport to achieve the forecasted revenue and EBITDA growth.

Sensitivity analyses were conducted, where practical, utilising key value drivers, which included, inter alia, a variance range of 1.0% in the discount rate applied and a 1.0 variance range in the exit multiple applied in the DCF, which analysis resulted in a variation range on the calculated value of Holdsport of 4.1% and 8.5% respectively.

10. REASONABILITY

In arriving at our opinion with respect to the reasonability of the Proposed Transaction, we considered, inter alia, the following:

• historic trading prices of Holdsport and Long4Life shares on the JSE;

• the trading liquidity of Holdsport and Long4Life shares;

• the potential diversification of Holdsport Shareholders’ exposure to underlying operations;

• the premium at which Long4Life shares has traded since listing on the JSE compared to underlying net asset value which may be ascribed to the management team’s track record and expertise in value creation;

• deal and portfolio uncertainty in Long4Life as a material portion of the company’s capital has not been deployed; and

• uncertainty on future dividend payments to Holdsport Shareholders, as same would be dependent on the Long4Life portfolio of investee companies once its capital has been deployed.

11. MATERIAL EFFECTS ON THE RIGHTS OF HOLDSPORT SHAREHOLDERS

The effect of the Proposed Transaction is that the interests of the Holdsport Shareholders will be swapped for shares in Long4Life on implementation of the Scheme as part of the Scheme Consideration.

12. OPINION

Our opinion is based on the current economic, market, regulatory and other conditions and the information made available to us up to 11 August 2017. Accordingly, subsequent developments may affect this opinion, which we are under no obligation to update, revise or re-affirm, as stated herein.

Based on PSG Capital’s analysis, subject to the aforegoing and after taking into account all financial and non-financial considerations, we calculated an indicative exchange ratio of 11.8 to 14.3 Long4Life shares for every one Holdsport share (“Exchange Ratio”), with a most likely exchange ratio of 13.1 being the midpoint of the range, however, any exchange ratio in excess of 11.8 Long4Life shares for every one Holdsport share would be considered fair to Holdsport Shareholders.

Page 42: COMBINED CIRCULAR TO HOLDSPORT … · Financial adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Holdsport Independent Expert Reporting accountants and auditors to

40

The Scheme Consideration alternatives therefore falls within the Exchange Ratio calculated.

In considering the Exchange Ratio listed above, Holdsport shareholders should take particular notice of the following factors:

i) The actual market value range achieved in a specific transaction may be higher or lower than our estimate of the market value range depending upon the circumstances of the transaction (for example strategic considerations of the purchaser), the nature of the business (for example the purchaser’s perception of potential synergies and Long4Life management deal-making ability); and

ii) The above Exchange Ratio is based on the respective standalone valuations of Holdsport and Long4Life under current management, strategies and business plans.

Subject to the aforegoing assumptions, based on our analysis and after taking into account all financial and non-financial considerations, we are of the opinion that the Proposed Transaction is fair and reasonable to Holdsport Shareholders.

13. LIMITING CONDITIONS

This opinion is provided to the Board in connection with and for the purpose of the Proposed Transaction for the sole purpose of assisting the Board in forming and expressing an opinion for the benefit of Holdsport Shareholders. This opinion is prepared solely for the Board and therefore should not be regarded as suitable for use by any other party or give rise to third party rights.

The forecasts relate to future events and are based on assumptions, which may not remain valid for the whole of the relevant period. Consequently this information cannot be relied upon to the same extent as that derived from audited financial statements for completed accounting periods. We express no opinion as to how closely actual results will correspond to those forecasted for Holdsport and Long4Life.

We relied upon the accuracy of the information used by us in deriving our opinion, albeit that, where practicable, we have corroborated the reasonableness of such information and assumptions through, amongst other things, reference to historic precedent and our knowledge and understanding. Whilst our work has involved an analysis of the annual financial statements, forecasts and other information provided to us, our engagement does not constitute nor does it include an audit conducted in accordance with applicable auditing standards. Accordingly, we assume no responsibility and make no representations with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any information provided to us in respect of the Proposed Transaction.

The opinion expressed is necessarily based upon information available to us, the financial, regulatory, securities market and other conditions and circumstances existing and disclosed to us as at the date hereof. We have furthermore assumed that all conditions precedent, including any material regulatory and other approvals required in connection with the Proposed Transaction have been or will be properly fulfilled. Subsequent developments may affect our opinion, however we are under no obligation to update, revise or re-affirm such.

We have no interest, direct or indirect, beneficial or non-beneficial, and to the best of our knowledge we are not related to a person who has or has had such interest in Holdsport or Long4Life within the immediately preceding two years or in the outcome of the Proposed Transaction.

ANNEXURE 2

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE ELECTION OF THE SCHEME ON A HOLDSPORT SHAREHOLDER

The table below sets out the pro  forma financial effects of the election of the Scheme on a Holdsport Shareholder. Pro forma financial effects are presented in respect of the year ended 28 February 2017 for purposes of the Companies Act, Regulation 106 requirements as well as the JSE Listings Requirements.

The summary pro  forma f inancial effects of the Scheme on Holdsport Shareholders, for which the Holdsport and Long4Life Board is responsible, has been provided for illustrative purposes only to provide information about how the election of the Scheme may have affected Holdsport Shareholders.

Due to its nature, the pro forma financial information may not be a true reflection of the actual impact of the election of the Scheme.

Holdsport’s results have been consolidated into Long4Life’s results in order to produce pro forma financial information of the Consolidated Group after implementation of the Scheme. It should be noted that the consolidated Holdsport Group will not remain as a stand-alone Group post the Scheme.

The pro  forma f inancial information of the Consolidated Group has been prepared in accordance with IFRS and Long4Life’s accounting policies. The pro  forma financial information of the Consolidated Group has been prepared on the assumption that the Scheme became effective on 1 March 2016 for the statement of comprehensive income and 28 February 2017 in respect of the statement of financial position from a Holdsport perspective and on 1 April 2016 for the statement of comprehensive income and 31 March 2017 in respect of the statement of financial position from a Long4Life perspective.

The pro  forma f inancial effects on Holdsport Shareholders have been derived by multiplying the pro  forma f inancial information of the Consolidated Group by the switch ratio applicable to the Share Component of the Scheme Consideration, being:

• 12.10 Long4Life Shares per Scheme Share under the Option A Scheme Consideration; and

• 11.20 Long4Life Shares and R5.00 payable in cash per Scheme Share under the Option B Scheme Consideration.

Although the market capitalisation of Holdsport as at the Last Practicable Date is larger than Long4Life’s market capitalisation, both the Holdsport Board and the Long4Life Board are of the view that Proposed Transaction should not be disclosed as a reverse acquisition in accordance with IFRS. With reference to the pertinent facts and circumstances, the following consideration as laid out in IFRS3 Business Combinations Appendix B15 and B16, were taken into account to reach this conclusion:

• Long4Life’s current total assets and net asset value are both greater than that of Holdsport based on its latest reported figures, being 31 March 2017 and 28 February 2017, respectively;

• The senior management of the combined group will be controlled by Long4Life management after the Proposed Transaction; and

• The Scheme Consideration represents a premium over the pre-transaction market value of Holdsport.

The directors of Holdsport and Long4Life are responsible for the preparation of the pro  forma financial information contained in this Circular.

Notes

1. The financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column has been prepared based on Holdsport’s audited consolidated financial results for the 12 months ended 28 February 2017.

2. The financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column has been prepared based on Long4Life’s audited consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017.

3. The financial information in the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing. In order to draw comparison to the financial results of Holdsport, the pro forma finance income earned on the cash raised on listing has been recorded in the “Finance income” row. The finance income earned has been calculated as the cash raised on listing of R2 billion earning interest at 7.2875% accounted for 12 months from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017, compounded monthly.

4. The financial information in the “Pro forma Long4Life results” column is calculated as the sum of the financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column and the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” column.

5. The financial information in the “Other adjustments” column reflects the following:

• Transaction costs (not tax deductible) incurred by both Long4Life and Holdsport related to the Scheme. For breakdown of these costs please refer to paragraph 22.

• The accelerated IFRS2 Share-based payment expense due to the earlier vesting of certain shares in terms of the rules of the Holdsport Forfeitable Share Plan dealing with the delisting of Holdsport.

• The issue of Long4Life Shares in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration is reflected in the “Number of shares in issue” row.

6. The financial information in the “Pro  forma after the implementation of the Scheme” column has been presented as the sum of the financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column, the “Pro forma Long4Life results” column, and the “Other adjustments” column. The number of shares used to determine the per share values was determined as the number of Long4Life Shares in issue at 28 February 2017, the number of Long4Life shares issued on Long4Life’s listing and the number of Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration.

7. All adjustments, with the exception of the transaction costs, are expected to have a continuing effect.

8. All earnings per share calculations have been performed on a net of treasury shares basis. In addition, the earnings per share figures were adjusted to reflect the appropriate switch ratio.

Notes

1. The financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column has been prepared based on Holdsport’s audited consolidated financial results for the 12 months ended 28 February 2017.

2. The financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column has been prepared based on Long4Life’s audited consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017.

3. The financial information in the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing. In order to draw comparison to the financial results of Holdsport, the pro forma finance income earned on the cash raised on listing has been recorded in the “Finance income” row. The finance income earned has been calculated as the cash raised on listing of R2 billion earning interest at 7.2875% accounted for 12 months from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017, compounded monthly.

4. The financial information in the “Pro forma Long4Life results” column is calculated as the sum of the financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column and the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” column.

5. The financial information in the “IFRS10 adjustment” column has been prepared in accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. Post the implementation of the Scheme, Holdsport will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Long4Life, who will then be required to consolidate the results of Holdsport into the greater Long4Life group. In terms of IFRS10, the following consolidation adjustments are required to be made:

• All of Holdsport’s capital and reserves (excluding the share-based payment reserve) are required to be reversed on consolidation.

• The value of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration based on Long4Life’s 30-day VWAP up to the date of the first cautionary announcement on 3 July 2017 is required to be credited to share capital.

• The value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme is credited from cash and cash equivalents.

• Goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 is required to be reversed.

• Acquisition goodwill is calculated as the sum of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration and the value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme less Holdsport’s capital reserves (excluding the share-based payment reserve) as at 28 February 2017 net of goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 (refer to note 6).

• The issue of Long4Life Shares in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration is reflected in the “Number of shares in issue” row.

6. Goodwill and intangible assets adjustment represents the value paid in excess of the book net asset value of Holdsport. Based on preliminary fair value allocation exercise, the surplus of the Scheme Consideration over the book net asset value of Holdsport is attributed to goodwill and intangible assets. A fair value allocation exercise in terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations will need to be performed at the Effective Date.

Please see below for a reconciliation of the goodwill f igure:

7. The financial information in the “Other adjustments” column reflects the following:

• An accounts payable being raised for the transaction costs (not tax deductible) incurred by both Long4Life and Holdsport related to the Scheme. For breakdown of these costs please refer to paragraph 22.

• The accelerated IFRS2 share-based payment expense due to the earlier vesting of certain shares in terms of the rules of the Holdsport Forfeitable Share Plan dealing with the delisting of Holdsport.

• Linked to the accelerated IFRS2 share-based payment expense, deferred tax previously recognised on vested shares is reversed and corporate tax on those shares is recognised.

• The negative adjustment to finance income w.r.t. the Maximum Cash Scheme Consideration of R204 million earning interest at 7.2875% accounted for 12 months from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017, compounded monthly.

8. The financial information in the “Pro  forma after the implementation of the Scheme” column has been presented as the sum of the financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column, the “Pro  forma Long4Life results” column, “IFRS10 adjustments” column and the “Other adjustments” column. The number of shares used to determine the per share values was determined as the number of Long4Life Shares in issue at 28 February 2017, the number of Long4Life shares issued on Long4Life’s listing and the number of Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration.

9. All adjustments, with the exception of the transaction costs, are expected to have a continuing effect.

10. All net asset value per share calculations have been performed on a net of treasury shares basis. In addition, the net asset value per share figures were adjusted to reflect the appropriate switch ratio.

Notes

1. The financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column has been prepared based on Holdsport’s audited consolidated financial results for the 12 months ended 28 February 2017.

2. The financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column has been prepared based on Long4Life’s audited consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017.

3. The financial information in the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing.

4. The financial information in the “Pro forma Long4Life results” column is calculated as the sum of the financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column and the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” column.

5. The financial information in the “Other adjustments” column reflects the following:

• Transaction costs (not tax deductible) incurred by both Long4Life and Holdsport related to the Scheme. For breakdown of these costs please refer to paragraph 22.

• The accelerated IFRS2 Share-based payment expense due to the earlier vesting of certain shares in terms of the rules of the Holdsport Forfeitable Share Plan dealing with the delisting of Holdsport.

• The issue of Long4Life Shares in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration is reflected in the “Number of shares in issue” row.

• The negative adjustment to finance income with respect to the Maximum Cash Scheme Consideration of R204 million earning interest at 7.2875% accounted for 12 months from 1 March 2016 to 28 February 2017, compounded monthly.

6. The financial information in the “Pro  forma after the implementation of the Scheme” column has been presented as the sum of the financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column, the “Pro forma Long4Life results” column and the “Other adjustments” column. The number of shares used to determine the per share values was determined as the number of Long4Life Shares in issue at 28 February 2017, the number of Long4Life shares issued on Long4Life’s listing and the number of Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration.

7. All adjustments, with the exception of the transaction costs, are expected to have a continuing effect.

8. All earnings per share calculations have been performed on a net of treasury shares basis. In addition, the earnings per share figures were adjusted to reflect the appropriate switch ratio.

9. As Holdsport Shareholders who select this option receive R5 cash per share held, after-tax interest (assumed for the purposes of this calculation to be taxed at the corporate tax rate) at 7.2875% will be added to their personal earnings per share, but not to the pro forma financial statements.

Notes

1. The financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column has been prepared based on Holdsport’s audited consolidated financial results for the 12 months ended 28 February 2017.

2. The financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column has been prepared based on Long4Life’s audited consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017.

3. The financial information in the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing.

4. The financial information in the “Pro forma Long4Life results” column is calculated as the sum of the financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column and the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” column.

5. The financial information in the “IFRS10 adjustment” column has been prepared in accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. Post the implementation of the Scheme, Holdsport will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Long4Life, who will then be required to consolidate the results of Holdsport into the greater Long4Life group. In terms of IFRS10, the following consolidation adjustments are required to be made:

• All of Holdsport’s capital and reserves (excluding the share-based payment reserve) are required to be reversed on consolidation.

• The value of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration based on Long4Life’s 30-day VWAP up to the date of the first cautionary announcement on 3 July 2017 is required to be credited to share capital.

• The value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme and the Cash Component of the Option B Scheme Consideration is required to be credited from cash and cash equivalents.

• Goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 is required to be reversed.

• Acquisition goodwill is calculated as the sum of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration, the value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme and the Cash Component of the Option B Scheme Consideration less Holdsport’s capital reserves (excluding the share-based payment reserve) as at 28 February 2017 net of goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 (refer to note 6)

• The issue of Long4Life Shares in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration is reflected in the “Number of shares in issue” row

6. Goodwill and intangible assets adjustment represents the value paid in excess of the book net asset value of Holdsport. Based on preliminary fair value allocation exercise, the surplus of the Scheme Consideration over the book net asset value of Holdsport is attributed to goodwill and intangible assets. A fair value allocation exercise in terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations will need to be performed at the Effective Date.

Please see below for a reconciliation of the goodwill f igure:

• The accelerated IFRS2 share-based payment expense due to the earlier vesting of certain shares in terms of the rules of the Holdsport Forfeitable Share Plan dealing with the delisting of Holdsport.

• Linked to the accelerated IFRS2 share-based payment expense, deferred tax previously recognised on vested shares is reversed and corporate tax on those shares is recognised.

8. The financial information in the “Pro  forma after the implementation of the Scheme” column has been presented as the sum of the financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column, the “Pro  forma Long4Life results” column, “IFRS10 adjustments” column and the “Other adjustments” column. The number of shares used to determine the per share values was determined as the number of Long4Life Shares in issue at 28 February 2017, the number of Long4Life shares issued on Long4Life’s listing and the number of Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration.

9. All adjustments, with the exception of the transaction costs, are expected to have a continuing effect.

10. All net asset value per share calculations have been performed on a net of treasury shares basis. In addition, the earnings per share figures were adjusted to reflect the appropriate switch ratio.

11. As Holdsport Shareholders who select this option receive R5 cash per share held, R5 will be added to their personal net asset value per share, but not to the pro forma financial statements.

ANNEXURE 3

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION RELATING TO A HOLDSPORT SHAREHOLDER

The DirectorsHoldsport LimitedThe Mill House1 Canterbury StreetCape TownWestern CapeSouth Africa8001

25 August 2017

Report on the Compilation of Pro forma Financial Information

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 10 of the Circular to which this letter is attached apply mutatis mutandis to this report.

We have completed our assurance engagement to report (“Report”) on the compilation of pro  forma earnings and diluted earnings, headline and core headline earnings, net asset value and net tangible asset value per share and the related notes relating to the Scheme Shareholder of Holdsport who is to receive the Scheme Consideration (collectively “Pro  forma Financial Information”). The Pro  forma Financial Information is set out in the Salient Features, paragraph 1.1.6 of the Combined Circular (“Circular”) to be issued by Holdsport and Long4Life (“the Company”) on or about 31 August 2017.

The Pro  forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors of Holdsport and Long4Life to illustrate the impact of the proposed offer by Long4Life to acquire all of the Scheme Shares in Holdsport (“the Transaction”) as detailed in the Circular on the Scheme participant who receives the Scheme consideration.

As part of this process, the Company’s earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings and core headline earnings per share, have been extracted by the directors from the Company’s published financial statements for the period ended 28 February 2017 (“Published Financial Information”), which was independently reviewed. In addition, the directors have calculated the net asset value and net tangible asset value per share as at 28 February 2017 based on financial information extracted from the Published Financial Information.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro forma Financial Information

The directors of Holdsport and Long4Life are responsible for compiling the Pro forma Financial Information on the basis of the applicable criteria as detailed in paragraphs 8.15 to 8.33 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the SAICA Guide on Pro forma Financial Information, revised and issued in September 2014 (“Applicable Criteria”).

Reporting accountant’s independence and quality control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors issued by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (“IRBA Code”), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Part A and B).

The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements and, accordingly, maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the Pro forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the directors on the basis of the Applicable Criteria, based on our procedures performed.

Page 54: COMBINED CIRCULAR TO HOLDSPORT … · Financial adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Holdsport Independent Expert Reporting accountants and auditors to

52

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro  forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the reporting accountants’ comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled, in all material respects, the Pro forma Financial Information on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any Published Financial Information used in compiling the Pro  forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the Published Financial Information used in compiling the Pro forma Financial Information.

The purpose of Pro  forma Financial Information included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on the unadjusted Published Financial Information as if the Transaction had been undertaken on 1 March 2016 for purposes of the pro  forma earnings, diluted earnings, headline and core headline earnings per share and on 28 February 2017 for purposes of the net asset value and net tangible asset value per share. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Transaction, subsequent to its implementation, will be as presented in the Pro forma Financial Information.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro  forma Financial Information has been properly compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the Applicable Criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the Pro forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the Transaction and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the Applicable Criteria; and

• The Pro forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those pro forma adjustments to the unadjusted Published Financial Information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Company, the Transaction in respect of which the Pro forma Financial Information has been compiled and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Pro forma Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Pro  forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

Yours faithfully

KPMG Inc.

ANNEXURE 5

PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION OF THE SCHEME (LONG4LIFE)

The table below sets out the pro  forma f inancial effects of the Scheme. Pro  forma f inancial effects are presented in respect of the year ended 31 March 2017 for purposes of the Companies Act, Regulation 106 requirements as well as the JSE Listings Requirements.

The pro forma consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the year 31 March 2017 and pro forma consolidated statement of financial position at 31 March 2017 have been prepared for illustrative purposes only, based on current information available to management, in order to provide information about the financial effects of the Scheme on the financial position and financial results of Long4Life. Due to its nature, the pro forma financial information may not fairly present Long4Life’s financial position, changes in equity and results of operations or cash flows after the Scheme, and are based on the assumptions that:

• for the purpose of calculating earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the year ended 31 March 2017, the Scheme was implemented on 1 April 2016; and

• for the purpose of calculating net asset value per share and net tangible asset value per share at 31 March 2017, the Scheme was implemented on 31 March 2017.

In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro  forma f inancial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro  forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing. The pro forma financials effects of the acquisitions of Sorbet and Inhle have not been taken into account as regulatory and non-regulatory conditions precedent remain outstanding at the time of this Circular.

The accounting policies of Long4Life have been used in calculating the pro forma financial effects. The accounting policies used are consistent with the existing accounting policies used by Long4Life for its latest annual financial statements for the year ended 31 March 2017 and the accounting policies herein have been applied on the same basis.

Although the market capitalisation of Holdsport as at the Last Practicable Date is larger than Long4Life’s market capitalisation, both the Holdsport Board and the Long4Life Board are of the view that Proposed Transaction should not be disclosed as a reverse acquisition in accordance with IFRS. With reference to the pertinent facts and circumstances, the following consideration as laid out in IFRS3 Business Combinations Appendix B15 and B16, were taken into account to reach this conclusion:

• Long4Life’s current total assets and net asset value are both greater than that of Holdsport based on its latest reported figures;

• The senior management of the combined group will be controlled by Long4Life management after the Proposed Transaction; and

• The Scheme Consideration represents a premium over the pre-transaction market value of Holdsport.

The Directors of Long4Life are responsible for the preparation of the pro forma financial information contained in this Annexure.

The Independent Reporting Accountants’ reasonable assurance report on the pro forma financial information is set out in Annexure 6 to this Circular.

Notes

1. The financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column has been prepared based on Long4Life’s audited consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017.

2. The financial information in the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing. In order to draw comparison to the financial results of Holdsport, the pro forma finance income earned on the cash raised on listing has been recorded in the “Finance income” row. The finance income earned has been calculated as the cash raised on listing of R2 billion earning interest at 7.2875% accounted for 12 months from 1 April 2016 to 31 March 2017, compounded monthly.

3. The financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column is calculated as the sum of the financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column and the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” column.

4. The financial information in the “Holdsport annual results” column has been prepared based on Holdsport’s audited consolidated financial results for the 12 months ended 28 February 2017.

5. The financial information in the “Other adjustments” column reflects the following:

• Transaction costs (not tax deductible) incurred by both Long4Life and Holdsport related to the Scheme. For breakdown of these costs please refer to paragraph 22.

• The accelerated IFRS2 Share-based payment expense due to the earlier vesting of certain shares in terms of the rules of the Holdsport Forfeitable Share Plan dealing with the delisting of Holdsport.

• The issue of Long4Life Shares in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration is reflected in the “Number of shares in issue” row.

6. The financial information in the “Pro  forma after the implementation of the Scheme” column has been presented as the sum of the financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column, the “Pro forma Long4Life results” column, and the “Other adjustments” column. The number of shares used to determine the per share values was determined as the number of Long4Life Shares in issue at 28 February 2017, the number of Long4Life shares issued on Long4Life’s listing and the number of Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration.

7. All adjustments, with the exception of the transaction costs, are expected to have a continuing effect.

8. All earnings per share calculations have been performed on a net of treasury shares basis.

Notes

1. The financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column has been prepared based on Long4Life’s audited consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017.

2. The financial information in the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing.

3. The financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column is calculated as the sum of the financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column and the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” column.

4. The financial information in the “Holdsport annual results” column has been prepared based on Holdsport’s audited consolidated financial results for the 12 months ended 28 February 2017.

5. The financial information in the “IFRS10 adjustment” column has been prepared in accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. Post the implementation of the Scheme, Holdsport will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Long4Life, who will then be required to consolidate the results of Holdsport into the greater Long4Life group. In terms of IFRS10, the following consolidation adjustments are required to be made:

• All of Holdsport’s capital and reserves are required to be reversed on consolidation.

• The value of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration based on Long4Life’s 30-day VWAP up to the date of the first cautionary announcement on 3 July 2017 is required to be credited to share capital.

• The value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme is credited from cash and cash equivalents.

• Goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 was reversed.

• The net difference between value of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration plus the value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme and Holdsport’s capital reserves as at 28 February2017 less goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 was recognised as goodwill (refer to note 6).

• The issue of Long4Life Shares in terms of the Option A Scheme Consideration is reflected in the “Number of shares in issue” row.

6. Goodwill and intangible assets adjustment represents the value paid in excess of the book net asset value of Holdsport. Based on preliminary fair value allocation exercise, the surplus of the Scheme Consideration over the book net asset value of Holdsport is attributed to goodwill and intangible assets. A fair value allocation exercise in terms of IFRS 3: Business Combinations will need to be performed at the Effective Date.

Please see below for a reconciliation of the goodwill f igure:

Notes

1. The financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column has been prepared based on Long4Life’s audited consolidated financial results for the nine months ended 31 March 2017.

2. The financial information in the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of the JSE Listings Requirements. In terms of paragraph 8.26(d) of the JSE Listings Requirements “no changes must be made to pro forma financial information in respect of post statement of financial position events except in respect of any post statement of financial position corporate action of the issuer or the target, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment”. Long4Life’s latest published results released are for the financial year ended 31 March 2017. Post this latest year-end, Long4Life raised R2 billion in capital by way of a private placement of ordinary shares which was open to institutional investors and successfully listed on the JSE on 7 April 2017. The listing of Long4Life constitutes a material corporate action that would have a significant impact on the Long4Life Shareholders and Holdsport Shareholders, and would materially alter the pro forma effects of the Scheme. As such, adjustments have been made to account for the listing.

3. The financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column is calculated as the sum of the financial information in the “Long4Life annual results” column and the “Listing of Long4Life securities on the JSE” column.

4. The financial information in the “Holdsport annual results” column has been prepared based on Holdsport’s audited consolidated financial results for the 12 months ended 28 February 2017.

5. The financial information in the “IFRS10 adjustment” column has been prepared in accordance with IFRS 10 – Consolidated Financial Statements. Post the implementation of the Scheme, Holdsport will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Long4Life, who will then be required to consolidate the results of Holdsport into the greater Long4Life group. In terms of IFRS 10, the following consolidation adjustments are required to be made:

• All of Holdsport’s capital and reserves (excluding the share-based payment reserve) are required to be reversed on consolidation.

• The value of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration based on Long4Life’s 30-day VWAP up to the date of the first cautionary announcement on 3 July 2017 is required to be credited to share capital.

• The value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme and the Cash Component of the Option B Scheme Consideration is required to be credited from cash and cash equivalents.

• Goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 is required to be reversed.

– Acquisition goodwill is calculated as the sum of the Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration, the value of the Holdsport Shares acquired by Long4Life prior to the Scheme and the Cash Component of the Option B Scheme Consideration less Holdsport’s capital reserves (excluding the share-based payment reserve) as at 28 February 2017 net of goodwill reflected on Holdsport’s balance sheet as at 28 February 2017 (refer to note 6).

– The issue of Long4Life Shares in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration is reflected in the “Number of shares in issue” row.

6. Goodwill and intangible assets adjustment represents the value paid in excess of the book net asset value of Holdsport. Based on preliminary fair value allocation exercise, the surplus of the Scheme Consideration over the book net asset value of Holdsport is attributed to goodwill and intangible assets. A fair value allocation exercise in terms of IFRS 3 – Business Combinations will need to be performed at the Effective Date.

Please see below for a reconciliation of the goodwill f igure:

7. The financial information in the “Other adjustments” column reflects the after-tax effect of the transaction costs incurred by both Long4Life and Holdsport related to the Scheme. For a breakdown of these costs please refer to paragraph 22 of the Circular.

8. The financial information in the “Pro  forma after the implementation of the Scheme” column has been presented as the sum of the financial information in the “Before the Scheme” column, the “Pro  forma Long4Life results” column, “IFRS10 adjustments” column and the “Other adjustments” column. The number of shares used to determine the per share values was determined as the number of Long4Life Shares in issue at 28 February 2017, the number of Long4Life shares issued on Long4Life’s listing and the number of Long4Life Shares issued in terms of the Option B Scheme Consideration.

9. All adjustments, with the exception of the transaction costs, are expected to have a continuing effect.

10. All net asset value per share calculations have been performed on a net of treasury shares basis.

ANNEXURE 6

INDEPENDENT REPORTING ACCOUNTANTS’ ASSURANCE REPORT ON THE COMPILATION OF PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION (LONG4LIFE)

The DirectorsLong4Life Limited7th FloorRosebank Towers13-15 Biermann AvenueRosebank2196

25 August 2017

Report on the Compilation of Pro forma Financial Information

The definitions and interpretations commencing on page 10 of the Circular to which this letter is attached apply mutatis mutandis to this report.

We have completed our assurance engagement to report (“Report”) on the compilation of pro  forma earnings and diluted earnings, headline and core headline earnings, net asset value and net tangible asset value per share of Long4Life (“the Company”), the pro forma statement of financial position of the Company, the pro forma satatement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income of the Company and the related notes, including a reconciliation showing all of the pro forma adjustments ot the share capital, reserves and other equity items relating to the Company, (collectively “Pro  forma Financial Information”). The Pro  forma Financial Information is set out in the Salient Features, paragraph 1.1.6 of the Combined Circular (“Circular”) to be issued by Holdsport and Long4Life (“the Company”) on or about 31 August 2017.

The Pro forma Financial Information has been compiled by the directors of Long4Life Limited (“Long4Life”) to illustrate the impact of the proposed offer by Long4Life to acquire all of the issued shares in Holdsport and the Scheme of Arrangement (“the Transaction”) on the Company’s financial position as at 31 March 2017 and the Company’s financial performance for the year ended 31 March 2017.

As part of this process, the Company’s earnings, diluted earnings, headline earnings and core headline earnings per share, net asset value and net tangible asset value per share, statement of profit and loss and other comprehensive income and statement of financial position have been extracted by the directors from the Company’s published financial statements for the period ended 31 March 2017 (“Published Financial Information”), which was independently audited by Deloitte Inc. In addition, the directors have calculated the net asset value and net tangible asset value per share as at 31 March 2017 based on financial information extracted from the Published Financial Information.

Directors’ Responsibility for the Pro forma Financial Information

The directors of Long4Life are responsible for compiling the Pro  forma Financial Information on the basis of the applicable criteria as detailed in paragraphs 8.15 to 8.33 of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited and the SAICA Guide on Pro forma Financial Information, revised and issued in September 2014 (“Applicable Criteria”).

Reporting accountant’s independence and quality control

We have complied with the independence and other ethical requirements of the Code of Professional Conduct for Registered Auditors issued by the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (“IRBA Code”), which is founded on fundamental principles of integrity, objectivity, professional competence and due care, confidentiality and professional behaviour. The IRBA Code is consistent with the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (Part A and B).

The firm applies International Standard on Quality Control 1 Quality Control for Firms that Perform Audits and Reviews of Financial Statements, and Other Assurance and Related Services Engagements and, accordingly, maintains a comprehensive system of quality control including documented policies and procedures regarding compliance with ethical requirements, professional standards and applicable legal and regulatory requirements.

Reporting Accountants’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion about whether the Pro forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, by the directors on the basis of the Applicable Criteria, based on our procedures performed.

We conducted our engagement in accordance with International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3420, Assurance Engagements to Report on the Compilation of Pro  forma Financial Information Included in a Prospectus, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board. This standard requires that the reporting accountants comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform procedures to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the directors have compiled, in all material respects, the Pro forma Financial Information on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

For purposes of this engagement, we are not responsible for updating or reissuing any reports or opinions on any Published Financial Information used in compiling the Pro  forma Financial Information, nor have we, in the course of this engagement, performed an audit or review of the Published Financial Information used in compiling the Pro forma Financial Information.

The purpose of Pro  forma Financial Information included in the Circular is solely to illustrate the impact of the Transaction on the unadjusted Published Financial Information as if the Transaction had been undertaken on 1 April 2016 for purposes of the pro forma earnings, diluted earnings, headline and core headline earnings per share and on 31 March 2017 for purposes of the net asset value and net tangible asset value per share. Accordingly, we do not provide any assurance that the actual outcome of the Transaction, subsequent to its implementation, will be as presented in the Pro forma Financial Information.

A reasonable assurance engagement to report on whether the Pro  forma Financial Information has been properly compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria involves performing procedures to assess whether the Applicable Criteria used by the directors in the compilation of the Pro forma Financial Information provide a reasonable basis for presenting the significant effects directly attributable to the Transaction and to obtain sufficient appropriate evidence about whether:

• The related pro forma adjustments give appropriate effect to the Applicable Criteria; and

• The Pro forma Financial Information reflects the proper application of those pro forma adjustments to the unadjusted Published Financial Information.

The procedures selected depend on the reporting accountant’s judgment, having regard to the reporting accountant’s understanding of the nature of the Company, the Transaction in respect of which the Pro forma Financial Information has been compiled and other relevant engagement circumstances.

The engagement also involves evaluating the overall presentation of the Pro forma Financial Information.

We believe that the evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Opinion

In our opinion, the Pro  forma Financial Information has been compiled, in all material respects, on the basis of the Applicable Criteria.

Yours faithfully

KPMG Inc.

(b) the company fails to make an offer in accordance with subsection (11) and the shareholder withdraws the demand; or

(c) the company, by a subsequent special resolution, revokes the adopted resolution that gave rise to the shareholder’s rights under this section.

(10) If any of the events contemplated in subsection (9) occur, all of the shareholder’s rights in respect of the shares are reinstated without interruption.

(11) Within five business days after the later of –

(a) the day on which the action approved by the resolution is effective;

(b) the last day for the receipt of demands in terms of subsection (7)(a); or

(c) the day the company received a demand as contemplated in subsection (7)(b), if applicable, the company must send to each shareholder who has sent such a demand a written offer to pay an amount considered by the company’s directors to be the fair value of the relevant shares, subject to subsection (16), accompanied by a statement showing how that value was determined.

(12) Every offer made under subsection (11) –

(a) in respect of shares of the same class or series must be on the same terms; and

(b) lapses if it has not been accepted within 30 business days after it was made.

(13) If a shareholder accepts an offer made under subsection (12) –

(a) the shareholder must either in the case of –

(i) shares evidenced by certificates, tender the relevant share certificates to the company or the company’s transfer agent; or

(ii) uncertificated shares, take the steps required in terms of section 53 to direct the transfer of those shares to the company or the company’s transfer agent; and

76

(14) A shareholder who has made a demand in terms of subsections (5) to (8) may apply to a court to determine a fair value in respect of the shares that were the subject of that demand, and an order requiring the company to pay the shareholder the fair value so determined, if the company has –

(a) failed to make an offer under subsection (11); or

(b) made an offer that the shareholder considers to be inadequate, and that offer has not lapsed.

(15) On an application to the court under subsection (14) –

(a) all dissenting shareholders who have not accepted an offer from the company as at the date of the application must be joined as parties and are bound by the decision of the court;

(b) the company must notify each affected dissenting shareholder of the date, place and consequences of the application and of their right to participate in the court proceedings; and

(c) the court –

(i) may determine whether any other person is a dissenting shareholder who should be joined as a party;

(ii) must determine a fair value in respect of the shares of all dissenting shareholders, subject to subsection (16);

(iii) in its discretion may –

(aa) appoint one or more appraisers to assist it in determining the fair value in respect of the shares; or

(bb) allow a reasonable rate of interest on the amount payable to each dissenting shareholder from the date the action approved by the resolution is effective, until the date of payment;

(iv) may make an appropriate order of costs, having regard to any offer made by the company, and the final determination of the fair value by the court; and

(v) must make an order requiring –

(aa) the dissenting shareholders to either withdraw their respective demands, or to comply with subsection (13)(a); and

(bb) the company to pay the fair value in respect of their shares to each dissenting shareholder who complies with subsection (13)(a), subject to any conditions the court considers necessary to ensure that the company fulfils its obligations under this section.

(15A) At any time before the court has made an order contemplated in subsection (15)(c)(v), a dissenting shareholder may accept the offer made by the company in terms of subsection (11), in which case –

(a) that shareholder must comply with the requirements of subsection 13(a); and

(b) the company must comply with the requirements of subsection 13(b);

(16) The fair value in respect of any shares must be determined as at the date on which, and time immediately before, the company adopted the resolution that gave rise to a shareholder’s rights under this section.

(17) If there are reasonable grounds to believe that compliance by a company with subsection (13)(b), or with a court order in terms of subsection (15)(c)(v)(bb), would result in the company being unable to pays its debts as they fall due and payable for the ensuing 12 months –

(a) the company may apply to a court for an order varying the company’s obligations in terms of the relevant subsection; and

(b) the court may make an order that –

(i) is just and equitable, having regard to the financial circumstances of the company; and

(ii) ensures that the person to whom the company owes money in terms of this section is paid at the earliest possible date compatible with the company satisfying its other financial obligations as they fall due and payable.

Page 79: COMBINED CIRCULAR TO HOLDSPORT … · Financial adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Long4Life Legal adviser to Holdsport Independent Expert Reporting accountants and auditors to

77

(18) If the resolution that gave rise to a shareholder’s rights under this section authorised the company to amalgamate or merge with one or more other companies, such that the company whose shares are the subject of a demand in terms of this section has ceased to exist, the obligations of that company under this section are obligations of the successor to that company resulting from the amalgamation or merger.

(19) For greater certainty, the making of a demand, tendering of shares and payment by a company to a shareholder in terms of this section do not constitute a distribution by the company, or an acquisition of its shares by the company within the meaning of section 48, and therefore are not subject to –

(a) the provisions of that section; or

(b) the application by the company of the solvency and liquidity test set out in section 4.

(20) Except to the extent –

(a) expressly provided in this section; or

(b) that the TRP rules otherwise in a particular case,

a payment by a company to a shareholder in terms of this section does not obligate any person to make a comparable offer under section 125 to any other person.
