1. OVERVIEW OF THE PROPOSED TRANSACTION

On Monday, the 6th of February 2023, the Board of Directors of African Sun passed a resolution in support of the termination of African Sun's ZSE Listing, with the intent to list the Company's shares on the Victoria Falls Stock Exchange ("VFEX") by way of Introduction.

1.1 The Rationale for the Proposed Transaction

  • The VFEX's potential to be a regional exchange can increase the visibility of a company listed
    on it, which can help attract new customers, suppliers and partners. The Company's migration from the ZSE to the VFEX potentially improves the Company's regional profile and commercial standing, strengthening the Company's prospects for both local and regional expansion. African Sun's capital expenditure and future growth and expansion can be better supported by foreign currency capital and a widened investor base.
  • The VFEX provides extended options for capital raising including debt listing in foreign currency.
  • The VFEX's lower trading costs of 2.12% compared to 4.63% on the ZSE would enable
    Shareholders to retain more value.
  • Liquidity of the African Sun shares can be stimulated by lower trading costs of the VFEX compared to the ZSE as well as increased demand for the investment based on its ability to return foreign currency dividends.
  • The VFEX allows foreign Shareholders to repatriate their dividends and proceeds from share disposals without restrictions.
  • The VFEX offers tax incentives for Shareholders, which include a 5% withholding tax on dividends
    and no capital gains tax on share disposal, thus providing enhanced earnings for Shareholders compared to the ZSE.
  • The provision of a de facto third-party USD valuation of the Company enables African Sun's existing Shareholders to realise the actual value of their investment and to provide a
    more accurate benchmark of the stock's performance while mitigating valuation volatility.
    Furthermore, the USD provides a hedge against the inflation of the ZWL, providing greater investor protection.
  • Entities listed on the VFEX are required to report in USD, resulting in a more understandable basis for evaluation of the Company's performance. Moreover, companies listed on the VFEX are required to meet specific governance and reporting requirements, which can improve the overall management and performance of the Company.

NOTE

  1. In terms of Section 171 of the Companies and Other Business Entities Act (Chapter 24:31), members are
    entitled to appoint one or more proxies to act in the alternative and to attend and vote and speak in their place. A proxy need not also be a member of the Company. A Director or Officer of the Company shall not
    be appointed as a proxy for a Shareholder.
  2. Regulation 74 of the Company's Articles of Association provides that the instrument appointing a proxy shall be deposited at the office of the Company not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for
    holding the meeting.
  3. Shareholders in the form of a corporate body must provide documentary evidence establishing the authority of a person signing the Form of Proxy in a representative capacity; this authority must take the form of a resolution of the corporate body.
  4. According to the approval granted by the ZSE, ordinary resolutions number 1,2 and 3 may be passed by a threshold of 50 per centum plus one ordinary share of the votes of all Shareholders present or represented

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SIGNING AND LODGING THIS FORM OF PROXY

  1. A Shareholder may insert the name of a proxy or the names of two alternative proxies of the Shareholder's choice in the space provided, with or without deleting "the Chairman of the EGM", but any such deletion must be initialled by the Shareholder. The person whose name appears first on the form of proxy will, unless his/her name has been deleted, be entitled to act as a proxy to the exclusion of those whose names
    follow.
  2. A Shareholder's instruction to the proxy must be indicated by the insertion of the relevant number of votes exercisable by that Shareholder in the appropriate space/s provided as well as by means of a cross whether
    the Shareholder wishes to vote, for, against or abstain from the resolutions. Failure to comply with the above will be deemed to authorize the proxy to vote or abstain from voting at the EGM as he/she deems fit in respect of all the Shareholder's votes exercisable thereat. A Shareholder or his/her proxy is not obliged to use all the votes exercisable by the Shareholder or by his/her proxy or cast them in the same way.
  3. Deletion of any printed matter and the completion of any blank spaces need not be signed or initialled. Any alteration or correction must be initialled by the signatory or signatories.
  4. The Chairman shall be entitled to decline to accept the authority of a person signing the proxy form:
    1. under a power of attorney
    2. on behalf of a company

unless that person's power of attorney or authority is deposited at the offices of the Company's transfer secretaries, or the registered office of the Company, not less than 48 hours before the meeting.

  1. If two or more proxies attend the meeting, then that person attending the meeting whose name appears first on the proxy form and whose name is not deleted shall be regarded as the validly appointed proxy.
  2. When there are joint holders of shares, any one holder may sign the form of proxy. In the case of joint holders, the senior who tenders a vote will be accepted to the exclusion of other joint holders. Seniority
    will be determined by the order in which names stand in the register of members.
  3. The completion and lodging of this form of proxy will not preclude the member who grants this proxy form from attending the EGM and speaking and voting in person thereat to the exclusion of any proxy appointed in terms hereof should such member wish to do so.
  4. In order to be effective, completed proxy forms must reach the Company's Transfer Secretaries or the registered office of the Company not less than 48 hours before the time appointed for the holding of the
    EGM.
  5. Please ensure that name(s) of the member(s) on the form of proxy and the voting form are the same as those on the share register.
