(B) | The Acquisition (as defined below) was completed on 15 October 2009. | |
(C) | The Seller is the registered and beneficial owner of (i) the Sale Shares (defined below) and (ii) 1,000,000 Shares of the share capital of KIBALI. | |
(D) | The Seller has agreed to sell and the Buyer has agreed to buy the Sale Shares, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of this agreement. | |
(E) | The Buyer is jointly owned in equal share by Randgold and AngloGold. | |
(F) | The parties have calculated the Sale Price (defined below) by reference to the value of the cash offer made to shareholders of Moto Goldmines, adjusted to reflect on the one hand, the fact that the Sale Shares are shares of a subsidiary of Moto Goldmines and on the other hand, a 10 per cent premium added to such amount, resulting in an global amount of USD 113,600,000 as the Sale Price for all the Sale Shares. | |
(G) | The Parties had agreed the dividends from the Sale Shares could be used in part for the repayment of certain loans from KIBALI and the interest thereon in favour of OKIMO.
