Zambezi Platinum will benefi cially hold 159 905 453 Northam shares, Boost for Northam amounting to approximately 31.4% of the total issued ordinary share capital listed on JSE of Northam. Zambezi Platinum’s preference shares which will be issued to participants on 18 May 2015 at R41 per share, provide an affordable oppor- tunity for a broad range of investors, over and above those directly invested in Northam, to gain exposure to this exciting sector. The preference shares will trade under the ZPLP ticker symbol. Speaking at the JSE on Monday, chairman elect of Zambezi Platinum, Photo Credit: Philip Mr Lazarus Zim, described the nature of the transaction which saw the Mostert Photography establishment of Zambezi Platinum and which has revitalized Northam’s em- powerment status, as unique and unprecedented. “Unlike many prior BEE transactions, everyone party to this transaction is protected from the vicis- situdes of the market through the ringfencing of Zambezi. With Northam’s strong balance sheet, visionary and energetic leadership, we can now pursue value-accretive growth opportunities which will benefi t shareholders and all stakeholders alike.” Northam chief executive Paul Dunne added, “This landmark transaction recognises the fundamental value of Northam along with its growth potential. Now, with meaningful and sustainable empowerment participation, we are well poised to realise further upside.” Much like its namesake, one of Africa’s greatest waterways, Zambezi Platinum seeks to ensure that there is signifi cant value and benefi t fl owing through to a broad range of stakeholders – communities, employees, a women’s group and a core of strategic partners who offer fi nancial, legal and business skills, supportive of Northam’s ambitions.
