NOTICE OF EGM
To obtain shareholder approval for the Crookes Brothers Bonus Scheme 2020 (Scheme)
Notice is hereby given to shareholders as recorded in the Company’s securities register on Friday, 4
September 2020 of an Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of shareholders of Crookes Brothers
Limited (“Crookes Brothers” or “the Company”), to be conducted entirely through electronic
participation, as permitted by the Companies Act, No 71 of 2008 (Companies Act) and by the
Company’s Memorandum of Incorporation (MOI), on Monday, 19 October 2020 at 10:00, at which the
resolutions set out below will be considered and, if deemed fit, passed with or without modification.
A copy of the full Notice of EGM containing the Scheme and the form of Proxy is available on the EGM
registration portal at the following link: www.smartagm.co.za.
RECORD DATES
The notice of EGM has been despatched to shareholders of the Company today, 16 September 2020,
who were recorded as such in the Company`s securities register on Friday, 4 September 2020.
The date on which shareholders of the Company must be recorded as such in the Company`s securities
register in order to attend and vote at the EGM is Friday, 9 October 2020 and the last day to trade to
be eligible to vote at the EGM will be Tuesday, 6 October 2020.
Should any shareholder (or a representative or proxy for a shareholder) wish to participate in and/or
vote at the EGM by way of electronic participation, such shareholder must either:
(i) register online using the online registration portal at www.smartagm.co.za, prior to the
commencement of the EGM; or
(ii) make a written application (the form of which is attached to this notice of the Company’s EGM
(notice) to so participate, by delivering the application form to the transfer secretaries, being
Computershare Investor Services Proprietary Limited, at First Floor, Rosebank Towers, 15
Biermann Avenue, Rosebank, 2196, or posting it to Private Bag X9000, Saxonwold, 2132 (at the
risk of the shareholder), or sending it by email to proxy@computershare.co.za, so as to be
received by the transfer secretaries by no later than 10:00 on Thursday, 15 October 2020. This
is in order for the transfer secretaries to arrange such participation for the shareholder and for
the transfer secretaries to provide the shareholder with the details as to how to access the EGM
by means of electronic participation. Instructions on how to participate in the EGM will also be
forwarded to the shareholder once they have been registered. Shareholders may still
register/apply to participate in and/or vote electronically at the EGM after this date, provided,
however, that those shareholders are verified (as required in terms of section 63(1) of the
Companies Act) and are registered at the commencement of the EGM.
For the avoidance of doubt, dematerialised shareholders without “own name” registration would still
need to submit their voting instructions via their Central Securities Depository Participants (CSDP) or
broker or obtain a letter of representation from their CSDP or broker to participate in and/or vote at the
EGM electronically.
In terms of section 63(1) of the Companies Act, any person participating in the EGM must
present reasonably satisfactory identification and the person presiding at the EGM must be
reasonably satisfied that the right of any person to participate in and vote (whether as a
shareholder or as a representative or proxy for a shareholder) has been reasonably verified.
Shareholders of the Company who wish to participate in the EGM electronically should provide
such identification when making written application to so participate.
