Dear Sir
SECURITIES LENDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN SOUTH AFRICAN PRIVATE EQUITY FUND III, L.P. (“SAPEF III LP”) AND JSE LIMITED (“THE JSE”) TOGETHER (“THE PARTIES”)
In terms of the rules of the JSE, the JSE is empowered through the Settlement Authority to borrow uncertificated certificates from third parties to facilitate the management of the settlement process, as governed by rule 10.120 (See annexure 1).
Therefore, in this context the parties have entered into a securities lending agreement in terms of which SAPEF III LP will make certain securities (“the securities”) available on loan to the JSE to be utilised by the JSE to facilitate the settlement of uncertificated securities, as detailed in Annexure 2.
For the sake of clarity, the parties wish to record in writing the following salient terms of the agreement:
1.
SAPEF III LP shall deliver the securities to the JSE by close of business on such later date as may be agreed between the parties.
2.
The JSE shall pay to SAPEF III LP a lending rate equivalent to the most favorable lending rate that the JSE is able to procure from other lenders of securities for a similar lending.
3.
The JSE shall, upon six business day’s notice from SAPEF III LP transfer to SAPEF III LP by electronic entry, the equivalent type and number of the securities by no later than the end of the notice period.
It is the intention of the parties to keep SAPEF III LP in the same position, except with regard to the direct exercise of voting rights, as if the securities were never lent and delivered to the JSE.
