TRANSACTION ANNOUNCEMENT
The Board of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc (“ZCCM-IH” or “the Company”), wishes to advise the shareholders and the market participants that the Company has signed a Management Services Agreement (“MSA”) with the Industrial Development Corporation Limited (“IDC” or the “Corporation”). As per the proposed agreement, the IDC will provide mandatory and ad hoc group services to ZCCM-IH on a per hour cost basis for a period of five years from the implementation of the agreement.
The Board wishes to inform the shareholders and the market that ZCCM-IH, with its advisors, has prepared the financial and non-finanial information which is required in the Circular to ZCCM-IH shareholders (“Shareholders”) to ensure Shareholders have sufficient information to vote on the Transaction at an Annual General Meeting (“AGM”). In line with the requirements of Section 9 of the Lusaka Securities Exchange (“LuSE”) Listings Requirements, the salient features of the Transaction are as follows.
| Particulars of the Transaction | Management Services Agreement involving ZCCM-IH and the Industrial Development Corporation Limited | |||||
| Conditions Precedent include: | ZCCM-IH Shareholder approval. | |||||
| Consideration: | Services to be costed on a per hour basis as defined in an appendix of the MSA. A copy of the MSA will be in the Circular and available for inspection at the Company's offices. | |||||
| Other significant terms of the Agreement: |
|
|||||
| Effective Date | Upon approval of the agreement by shareholders at the AGM | |||||
| Rationale for the Transaction | The Industrial Development Corporation is the majority shareholder of ZCCM-IH with 60.28% of shares. The IDC group has 36 companies under its portfolio. The IDC has a mandate to transform subsidiaries in its portfolio focusing on business remodelling, capital restructuring and financing support amongst others. This is underpinned by effective Group oversight which includes the provision of group management services to ZCCM-IH in all functional areas listed in the MSA. IDC has been providing management services to ZCCM-IH since 2017 and has increased its level of services to ensure ZCCM-IH is aligned to the vision of the IDC. Thus, ZCCM-IH accesses and benefits from the IDC's group management services. With effect from the date of shareholder approval, the IDC formalised its arrangement for management services by entering into Management Services Agreements with subsidiaries and introducing management fees determined based on cost recovery plus mark-up. Management services by the IDC to its subsidiaries confer economic benefits to ZCCM-IH. Considering the above, ZCCM-IH intends to sign the management services agreement with the IDC. |
