Sacoven shareholders ("Shareholders") are hereby advised that at the extraordinary general meeting of Shareholders held today (the "Meeting"), all of the resolutions contained in the notice of extraordinary general meeting and proposed at the Meeting (the "De-listing Resolutions"), were passed by the requisite majority of votes.

Shareholders are reminded that, as a result of the De-listing Resolutions being passed, cancellation of the Company's Ordinary Shares from trading on AIM will be effective at 7.00a.m. UK time (10.00a.m. SA time) on 2 December 2016 and trading in the Ordinary Shares on the Alt-X will be suspended at 7.00a.m. UK time (9.00a.m. SA time) on 30 November 2016 with delisting of the Ordinary Shares from the Alt-X taking place on 20 December 2016.

Important Information regarding the redemption of Ordinary Shares

Shareholders are reminded that if they wish to apply to have the Company redeem their Ordinary Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set out in the Company's circular to Shareholders dated 7 November 2016 (which is available on the Company's website www.sacoven.com) (the "Circular"), they must do so before 1.00p.m. UK time (3.00p.m. SA time) on 5 December 2016 in accordance with the procedures set out in the Circular.

Shareholders should be aware that, if they fail to apply to have the Company redeem their Ordinary Shares, they will lose the right to receive the Redemption Price and will only be entitled to receive a pro-rata entitlement to the assets that remain in the Company on winding up.
