<\/div>\n<\/div>\nINVESTMENT ACTIVITIES<\/h2>\n
The most important investment activities during the year under review were as follows:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n During June 2015 Remgro entered into an agreement with funds managed by Cinven to acquire 119 923 335 Spire shares (equivalent to a 29.9% shareholding in Spire) at a price of GBP3.60 per share for a total purchase consideration of GBP431.7 million (excluding transaction costs). The transaction was concluded early in July 2015 and Remgro financed the transaction through a combination of its own cash, as well as external funding.<\/p>\n In conjunction with the above transaction, Remgro and Mediclinic concluded an agreement whereby Mediclinic would acquire Remgro\u2019s interest in Spire, subject to Mediclinic raising the appropriate funds in order to conclude such a transaction. During August 2015 Mediclinic raised R10.0 billion through a rights issue in terms of which 111 111 111 new Mediclinic shares were issued at a price of R90.00 per share. Remgro, by following its rights and by underwriting the balance of the rights issue, invested an additional R4.6 billion into Mediclinic. Following the successful conclusion of the rights issue, Mediclinic acquired Remgro\u2019s shareholding in Spire during August 2015 for an amount of R8.6 billion, equal to the purchase price, transaction and funding costs. Remgro thus effectively only facilitated the acquisition of Spire by Mediclinic.<\/p>\n On 30 June 2015 Remgro\u2019s effective interest in Mediclinic was 42.0% (2014: 42.1%). The additional Mediclinic shares acquired by Remgro in terms of it underwriting the Mediclinic rights issue referred to above, marginally increased its interest in Mediclinic to 42.5%.<\/p>\n During April 2015 Remgro acquired a further 2 990 000 RMBH shares for a total amount of R215.5 million. This transaction increased Remgro\u2019s effective interest in RMBH to 28.2% (2014: 27.9%).<\/p>\n Remgro\u2019s interest in Dark Fibre Africa Proprietary Limited (Dark Fibre Africa) is held through its investment in CIVH. Dark Fibre Africa is a wholly owned subsidiary of CIVH. During August 2014 Remgro invested a further R56.6 million in CIVH, thereby increasing its interest marginally from 50.7% on 30 June 2014 to 50.9% on 30 June 2015.<\/p>\n During the year under review Remgro acquired a further 3 380 435 Grindrod shares in the open market for a total amount of R58.0 million, thereby increasing its effective interest in Grindrod to 23.0% (2014: 22.6%).<\/p>\n During July 2014 Remgro acquired an additional 3 000 ordinary shares in KTH for a total amount of R22.5 million. This trans\u00adaction increased Remgro\u2019s effective interest in KTH to 34.9% (2014: 34.7%).<\/p>\n During the year under review Remgro disposed of its investment in Lashou. A loss of $19.9 million was realised on this transaction. This loss is excluded from headline earnings.<\/p>\n During the year under review Remgro invested a further $33.1 million in Milestone III, thereby increasing its cumulative investment to $86.5 million. As at 30 June 2015 the remaining commitment to Milestone III amounted to $13.5 million.<\/p>\n Other smaller investments, amounting to R85.2\u00a0million.<\/p>\n Other than the above-mentioned Spire transaction, there were no significant transactions subsequent to 30 June 2015.<\/p>\n On 30 June 2015, approximately 25% (R986 million) of the available cash at the centre was invested in money market funds which are not classified as cash and cash equivalents on the statement of financial position. Refer to note 14 to the annual financial statements that is published here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The analysis of \u201dEquity employed\u201d and of \u201dSource of headline earnings\u201d below reflects the sectors into which the Group\u2019s investments have been classified. No adjustment has been made where investments are active mainly in one sector but also have interests in other sectors.<\/p>\n Remgro currently has one long-term incentive plan, i.e. the Remgro Equity Settled Share Appreciation Right Scheme (the SAR Scheme). In terms of the SAR Scheme, participants are offered Remgro ordinary shares to the value of the appreciation of their rights to a specified number of Remgro ordinary shares that can be exercised at different intervals but before the expiry of seven years from date of grant.<\/p>\n The earliest intervals at which the share appreciation rights are exercisable are as follows:<\/p>\n Refer to note 25<\/a> to the annual financial statements for full details on the SAR Scheme.<\/p>\n At 30 June 2014, 2 960 766 Remgro ordinary shares (0.6%) were held as treasury shares by a wholly owned subsidiary company of Remgro. As previously reported, these shares were acquired for the purpose of hedging Remgro\u2019s share incentive scheme.<\/p>\n During the year under review no Remgro ordinary shares were repurchased, while 791 208 Remgro ordi\u00adnary\u00a0shares were utilised to settle Remgro\u2019s obligation towards share scheme participants who exercised the rights granted to them.<\/p>\n At 30 June 2015, 2 169 558 Remgro ordinary shares (0.5%) were held as treasury shares.<\/p>\n Rembrandt Trust Proprietary Limited (Rembrandt Trust) holds all the issued unlisted B ordinary shares of the Company and is entitled to 42.57% (2014: 42.61%) of the total votes.<\/p>\n An analysis of the shareholders is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Particulars of subsidiary companies, equity accounted investments and other investments are disclosed in Annexures A<\/a> and B<\/a>.<\/p>\n The names of the directors appear here<\/a>.<\/p>\n On 25 November 2014, the Remgro Board of directors appointed Mr J Malherbe, a current Remgro non-executive director, as co-deputy chairman with Dr E de la H Hertzog, who is the current deputy chairman.<\/p>\n The Board wishes to congratulate Mr Malherbe on his appointment.<\/p>\n Ms S E N de Bruyn Sebotsa has been appointed as an indepen\u00addent non-executive director of Remgro with effect from 16 March 2015. She has considerable experience in the areas of finance, business and the empower\u00adment of women in South Africa.<\/p>\n The Board wishes to welcome Ms De Bruyn Sebotsa as a director to the Company.<\/p>\n In terms of the provision of the Memorandum of Incorporation, Messrs W E B\u00fchrmann, G T Ferreira, F Robertson, J P Rupert and H Wessels retire from the Board by rotation. These directors are eligible and offer themselves for re-election.<\/p>\n At 30 June 2015 the aggregate of the direct and indirect interests of the directors and their associates in the issued ordinary share capital of the Company amounted to 2.57% (2014: 2.52%).<\/p>\n Mr J P Rupert is a director of Rembrandt Trust which owns all the issued unlisted B ordinary shares.<\/p>\n An analysis of directors\u2019 interests in the issued capital of the Company click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The total directors\u2019 fees for services rendered as directors during the past financial year amounted to R3.7 million (2014: R3.5\u00a0million).<\/p>\n It is recommended that a general authority be granted to the Board to acquire, should circumstances warrant it, the Company\u2019s own shares and to approve the acquisition of shares in the Company by any of its subsidiaries, subject to the provisions of the Companies Act (No.\u00a071 of 2008), as amended, and the Listings Require\u00adments of the JSE Limited.<\/p>\n A special resolution to grant this general authority to the Board is incorporated in the notice<\/a> of the Annual General Meeting.<\/p>\n The final ordinary dividend per share was determined at 259 cents (2014: 233 cents). Total ordinary dividends per share in respect of the year to 30\u00a0June\u00a02015 therefore amount to 428 cents (2014: 389 cents).<\/p>\n Notice is hereby given that a final gross dividend of 259 cents (2014: 233 cents) per share has been declared out of income reserves in respect of both the ordinary shares of no par value and the unlisted B ordinary shares of no par value, for the year ended 30\u00a0June\u00a02015.<\/p>\n A dividend withholding tax of 15% or 38.85 cents per share will be applicable, resulting in a net dividend of 220.15 cents per share, unless the shareholder concerned is exempt from paying dividend-withholding tax or is entitled to a reduced rate in terms of an applicable double-tax agreement.<\/p>\n The total gross dividend per share for the year ended 30 June 2015 therefore amounts to 428 cents, compared to 389 cents for the year ended 30\u00a0June\u00a02014.<\/p>\n The issued share capital at the declaration date is 481 106 370 ordinary shares and 35 506 352 B ordinary shares.

In the instance where shareholders do not provide the Transfer Secretaries with their banking details, the dividend will not be forfeited but will be marked as \u201cunclaimed\u201d in the share register until the shareholder provides the Transfer Secretaries with the relevant banking details for pay out.<\/p>\n The name and address of the Company Secretary appears here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The comprehensive<\/a> annual financial statements, as well as the summary annual financial statements have been approved by the Board.<\/p>\n Signed on behalf of the Board of Directors.<\/p>\n Johann Rupert<\/p>\n Chairman<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stellenbosch<\/p>\n 17 September 2015<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Jannie Durand<\/p>\n Chief Executive Officer<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dear Shareholder The Board has pleasure in reporting on the activities and financial results for the year under review.
