Under that specific authority, AECI repurchased 4 426 604 AECI ordinary shares of 100 cents each (Repurchased Shares) from the AECI Community Education and Development Trust for no consideration (the Specific Repurchase).

Following the Specific Repurchase, the Company applied to the JSE for the delisting of the Repurchased Shares. The JSE granted such application and the Repurchased Shares were delisted with effect from 7 February 2022.

The Repurchased Shares reverted to authorised but unissued shares of the Company in accordance with section 35(5) of the Companies Act, 2008 and were cancelled on 15 February 2022.

Following this delisting and cancellation, there are now 105 517 780 AECI ordinary shares of 100 cents in issue, a reduction of 4,02% due to the Specific Repurchase. There were no other changes to the Company’s share capital. The number of treasury shares held by the Company before and after the Specific Repurchase is nil.
