The Board wishes to inform the shareholders ("Shareholders") of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc ("ZCCM-IH" or "the Company"), and the market that, ZCCM-IH has entered into a transaction with First Quantum Minerals ("FQM") whereby the Company will convert its dividend rights and economic value in its 20 percent equity in Kansanshi Mining Plc ("KMP") into a life of mine royalty (the "Transaction").

The Company, in consultation with its Transaction advisors, has prepared the financial and technical information which is required in the Circular to ZCCM-IH shareholders to ensure that Shareholders have sufficient information to vote on the Transaction at an Extraordinary General Meeting ("EGM").

In compliance with the requirements of Section 9 of the Listings Requirements of the Lusaka Securities Exchange ("LuSE"), the key features of the Transaction are as follows.

Brief Particulars of the Transaction

· The grant of a life of mine royalty (the "Royalty") to ZCCM-IH in respect of 3.1 per cent of the gross value of Royalty products to be extracted from the KMP mine pursuant to a Royalty Agreement to be executed on the Transaction closing date.

 

· Post transaction, the economic value of ZCCM-IH's 20% equity stake in KMP will be realised through the VAT refunds. 

 

· The varied rights attached to the ZCCM-IH Class A shares in KMP will be amended and prescribed in the amended KMP Articles of Association ("New KMP Articles") to be adopted at Closing.

 

· ZCCM-IH Class A shares will entitle the Company to nominate 2 Directors to the KMP Board each with voting rights

 

· At closing ZCCM-IH will de-recognise its equity stake in KMP as an investment in associate and recognise the acquired Royalty as a financial asset.

 

Conditions Precedent include:

· ZCCM-IH Shareholders approval.

· Approval of the Transaction by the Competition and Consumer Protection Commission.

· Letter of No Objection from the Securities and Exchange Commission of Zambia concerning the New KMP Articles.

· Withdrawal of the criminal complaint against KMP directors and confirmation of such withdrawal

· Zambia Revenue Authority confirmation of the parties' tax position on the Transaction.

 

Key Financial Terms of Agreement

· Pursuant to the KMP shareholder resolution, KMP will make a dividend declaration of United States Dollars Nine Hundred Seventy-Five Million (US$975,000,000) payable in proportion to the shareholding structure (ZCCM-IH:20% and Kansanshi Holdings Ltd 80%) to be paid no later than the date falling seven (7) days following the date of execution of the framework agreement as stated below:

 

ü United States Dollars One Hundred and Ninety-Five Million (US$195,000,000) to ZCCM-IH and United States Dollars Seven Hundred and Eighty Million (US$780,000,000) to Kansanshi Holdings Limited ("KHL").

 

· At Closing, the change of KHL's Class A shares to Class C shares and the variation of ZCCM-IH's rights (inter alia, to reflect that ZCCM-IH's dividend right is converted into the Royalty rights as further described below) pursuant to the New KMP Articles and the Termination Agreement between KHL, KMP and ZCCM-IH relating to the termination of rights and obligations under the KMP Shareholders Agreement.

 

· At Closing, a Royalty consideration of Six Hundred and Eighty-Five Million Dollars (US$ 685,000,000) representing ZCCM-IH's dividend declared on Class A shares by KMP, will be settled by issuance of a Loan Note by KMP to ZCCM-IH.

The aggregated amount of the VAT refund is:

 

ü US$ 442 million and

ü ZMW 433 million

Rationale for the Transaction

· A key objective of the ZCCM-IH Strategic Plan (2020-2026) is to extract value from the ZCCM-IH portfolio by focusing on the income flow from each investee company. The right to receive quarterly Royalty payments ensures that ZCCM-IH is guaranteed a predictable and regular revenue stream over the Kansanshi life of mine.

· Another key objective of the ZCCM-IH Strategic Plan is the investment in greenfield and brownfield mining and mining-related ventures across a diverse range of minerals. With this regular Royalty income from KMP, ZCCM-IH will be better placed to finance these investments;
