Raven Property Group Limited
("Raven" or the "Company")
As previously announced, the Company has been pursuing secondary listings of all of its issued ordinary shares of 1p each ("Ordinary Shares") on the exchange operated by the JSE Limited ("JSE") (the "JSE Secondary Listing") and the Moscow Stock Exchange ("MOEX") (the "MOEX Secondary Listing").
The Company is pleased to announce that it has today received formal approval from the JSE in respect of the JSE Secondary Listing.
In addition, the Company notes that the Financial Surveillance Department of the South African Reserve Bank has approved the JSE Secondary Listing and has classified the JSE Secondary Listing as "domestic" for exchange control purposes.
It is anticipated that a full pre-listing announcement will be released on the Stock Exchange News Service of the JSE on or about 3 September 2018, a copy of which will be available at the Company's website www.theravenpropertygroup.com/investors, with the JSE Secondary Listing expected to take place on 10 September 2018 ("JSE Admission").
In connection with and as a requirement of the JSE Secondary Listing, RPG Holdings Limited (a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company incorporated in Guernsey) has entered into a scrip lending agreement (the "Scrip Lending Agreement") with the JSE, pursuant to which RPG Holdings Limited has agreed to make available by way of a loan to the JSE of up to 400,000 Ordinary Shares ("Custody Shares"), such Custody Shares to be held in a custody account with Rencap Securities Proprietary Limited (the "Scrip Lending Arrangement").
The purpose of the Scrip Lending Arrangement is to enable the JSE to facilitate the settlement of any trades which take place on the JSE during the six month period from JSE Admission. Once the Scrip Lending Arrangement comes to an end then the JSE will return back to RPG Holdings Limited any Ordinary Shares it has borrowed pursuant to the Scrip Lending Agreement.
The Company continues to progress the MOEX Secondary Listing and will provide a further update to the market in due course.
