Note to the Members
In terms of the notice to shareholders and debenture holders dated 14 December 2018 it was advised that:
“As a result of the demerger, 583,453,309 debentures being 50% of 1,166,906,618 debentures in issue in EWZL will be transferred to CSZL, with the balance remaining in EWZL. The split of the debentures between EWZL and CSZL has been necessitated by the fact that debentures conversion has not taken place. The debentures in issue have a nominal value of 4.665 US Cents per debenture and a coupon rate of 5% per annum and are redeemable on 3 May 2023. Therefore, the conversion of the debentures has been postponed sine die.”
The Cassava Smartech Zimbabwe Limited Directors have since executed a deed in terms of which the company has bound itself as surety and co-principal debtor with Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited to the Holders of Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited Debentures up to 50% of the value of the outstanding debentures. The suretyship is in lieu of the issuance by the company of its own debentures.
Accordingly, debenture holders will continue to hold the Econet Wireless Zimbabwe Limited (EWZL) debenture certificates issued in 2017 on the terms and conditions prescribed thereon.
