(2) The pro forma financial information presented is not to be misleading, it is there to assist investors in analysing future prospects of the issuer and is to include all appropriate adjustments permitted by section 236 (adjustments to financial statements) of which the issuer is aware, and which are considered necessary to give effect to the corporate action as if the corporate action had been undertaken at the commencement of the period being reported on or, in the case of a pro forma statement of financial position, at the date reported on. Presentation of pro forma financial information 230. (1) Pro forma financial information must state— (a) the purpose for which it has been prepared; (b) that it is prepared for illustrative purposes only; and (c) that because of its nature it may not necessarily present the issuer’s actual financial position, changes in equity, results of operations or cash flows. (2) Pro forma financial information must be presented in columnar form showing separately the unadjusted financial information and the pro forma adjustments, and must identify the basis upon which it is prepared; and the source of each item of information and adjustment.

Accounting policies to be adopted in preparing and presenting pro forma financial information 231. (1) Pro forma financial information must be presented in a manner consistent with both the format and accounting policies adopted by the issuer in its report of historical financial information. (2) In quantifying pro forma financial information adjustments, the issuer must apply accounting policies on the same basis as the issuer would normally adopt in preparing its annual financial statements. (3)The requirementtoapplythe issuer’s accounting policiesin preparingproformafinancialinformation applies to adjustments made in respect of a material acquisition. (4) Pro forma financial information must be prepared in accordance with the policies adopted in presenting the unadjusted financial information of the issuer at the relevant date or for the relevant period, even where new accounting standards will apply subsequently. Selection of periods 232. Pro forma financial information may be published only in respect of— (a) the most recently financial reporting period; (b) in the case of a pro forma statement of financial position, as at the date on which such periods end or ended; (c) a profit forecast, provided that the forecast has been published and reported on in terms of Part X (transactions) or Part XII (mineral companies), for the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income purposes, and for the periods specified in paragraphs (a) and (b) for the purposes of a statement of financial position. Subsequent events 233.

S.I. 134 of 2019 95 (d) in respect of any corporate action of the issuer or the target which occurred after the preparation of theirstatements of financial position, where it would be misleading not to make an adjustment, and in such instance, in addition to providing full details of the adjustment, details must be provided as to why the issuer believes it would be misleading not to make an adjustment. Accounting periods 234. Where a pro forma statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or statement of cash flows is presented for two or more entities or business undertakings, such as may be the case in a material acquisition, the unadjusted information about the issuer and the adjustments in respect of the other entity or entities must cover periods of the same length. Unadjusted information 235. (1) The unadjusted information must be derived from the most recent— (a) published audited annual financial statements, published interim reports or provisional reports; (b) previously published report of historical financial information; (c) previously published pro forma financial information reported on in accordance with section 241 (3)(b). (2)  Any previously published profit forecast must be updated and a new profit forecast published taking account of the effects of the transaction concerned. Adjustments to financial statements 236.

An issuer is not permitted either— (a) to omit adjustments that are directly attributable to a transaction and factually supportable on the grounds that they do not have a continuing effect; or (b) to make adjustments to eliminate items solely on the grounds that they are considered not to have a continuing effect. (2)  Issuers must interpret section 227 in line with the requirements of IFRS and guidelines issued by PAAB. Earnings and headline earnings per share 238.

Securities and Exchange (Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Listings Requirements) Rules, 2019 96 Provided that where the transaction includes the issue of securities, the calculation is to be based on the weighted average number of issued shares adjusted as if that issue had taken place at the beginning of the period. Profit forecasts and estimates 239. (1) The requirements of subsections (2) to (10) apply to forecasts or estimates of profits or losses, cash flows or net asset values collectively defined as profits or losses. A profit estimate is for a financial period that has expired but for which the results have not yet been published. (2)  Any statement or information relating to the future prospects of an issuer, or an undertaking that is to become a material part of an issuer’s group, must be clear and unambiguous. The issuer must determine in advance with its sponsoring broker whether such a statement of information will constitute a profit forecast or an estimate. Any profit forecast or estimate must be compiled with using accounting policiesthat are consistent with those applied by the applicant. (3) A specific profit forecast which–– (a) states a figure for the likely level of profits or losses for the current financial period or financial periods subsequent to that period, or contains data from which a calculation of such a figure for profits or losses may be made. (b) is usually made when an applicant includes a number, percentage, range, value or any other term that has a recognised value. This list is not exhaustive and issuers must consult with their sponsoring brokers to ascertain whether a statement constitutes a specific forecast. (4) A general profit forecast–– (a) indicates a minimum or maximum figure for the likely level of profits or losses for the current financial period and financial periods subsequent to that period, or contains data from which such calculation may be made, even if no particular figure is mentioned and the word profit is not used; (b) is usually made when an applicant uses the following words or terms: improvement, “increase”, “growth”, “decline”, “decrease”, “similar” or “in line with”. The use of these words or terms must not result in the statement becoming a specific profit forecast; (c) this list is not exhaustive and applicants must consult with their sponsoring brokers to ascertain whether a statement is a general forecast. (5)  A profit estimate bears the same meaning as a general or specific forecast, with the exception that it relates to a financial period ended but for which no financial information has yet been published. (6)  When an applicant clearly states in an announcement that it has certain future targets or objectives that it would like to achieve, such shall not be interpreted as a profit forecast or estimate as referred to above, provided that the targets or objectives do not specifically relate to the current or next reporting period. (7) A specific or general profit forecast or estimate of an applicant, or an undertaking that is or will become a material part of the issuer’s group, which is included in any communication with shareholders is the sole responsibility of the directors and must— (a) include the key assumptions that have been used in arriving at the forecast or estimate; (b) make reference to the relevant previously published information, for instance any line item in the statement of profit or loss or other comprehensive income, statement of financial position or the statement of cash flows , to which it relates; and (c) in the case of a specific profit forecast or estimate, must be reported on by the sponsoring brokers in accordance with section 24 (profit forecast). (8)  A dividend forecast must be treated as a profit forecast where the applicant has a known policy of relating dividendsto earnings, or has an insufficient level of retained earnings, or the forecast otherwise implies a forecast of profit. In the event of uncertainty, the ZSE must be consulted. (9)  A profit forecast or estimate of an applicant, or an undertaking that is to become a significant part of an issuer’s group, which is included in any communication with shareholders must be reported on by the issuer’s auditors or accountants and by the issuer’s sponsoring broker as referred to in section 23(financial reporting procedures). The applicant must compile its report in terms of International Standard on Assurance Engagements (ISAE) 3400 and IFRS.

S.I. 134 of 2019 97 (10) The period of the forecast or estimate should normally be to the end of an issuer’s financial period. If it is not, then the period of the forecast or estimate must be in respect of a period for which the results will be published, or the issuer must make a new forecast for such a period. The forecast or estimate must be disclosed on a per share basis and must include profit after tax, disclosing separately any items expected to be of such size, nature or incidence that their disclosure is relevant to explain the expected performance, as well as tax charges, earnings and headline earnings, and cash flows or net asset values if applicable. (11)  A profit forecast included in a prospectus, a pre-listing statement or circular containing proposals to be put to shareholders in a general meeting concerning a refinancing or reconstruction of the issuer or its group, or in any other communication with shareholders, must include a statement of the principal assumptions for each factor that would have a material effect on the achievement of the forecast. These assumptions must— (a) be clearly segregated between assumptions about factors that the directors can influence and assumptions about factors that are entirely outside the influence of the directors; (b) be readily understandable by investors; (c) be specific about the particular aspect of the estimate or forecast to which they refer and about the uncertainty attaching to that aspect; and (d) not relate to the general accuracy of the estimates such as sales estimates, expense estimates, underlying the forecasts. (12)  If a profit estimate is included in any of the documents referred to in subsection 9, the estimate may only be subject to assumptions in exceptional circumstances, and such exceptional circumstances must be explained.

(2)  This Part deals with transactions, principally acquisitions and disposals, by an issuer. It describes how they are categorised, what the requirements are for announcements and circulars and whether shareholder approval is required. It then considers additional requirements for take-overs and mergers. (3)  Twenty-ninth Schedule (detailed requirements for take over and mergers) sets out, in a table, certain requirements for the contents of Category 1 and Category 2 circulars. References to transactions 252. (1)References in this Part to a transaction by an issuer— (a) include a transaction by any subsidiary of the listed company; (b) exclude a transaction in the ordinary course of the company’s trading activities; (c) exclude an issue ofsecurities or a transaction to raise finance which, in either case, does not involve the acquisition or disposal of any asset of the listed company or of its subsidiaries; and (d) include the written grant or acquisition of an option to acquire or dispose of assets as if the option had been exercised. (2) An issuer which is in any doubt as to the application of the listings requirements contained in this Part must consult the ZSE at an early stage. Categorisation and explanation of terms 253. (1) Any issuer considering a transaction must, at an early stage, consider the categorisation of the transaction. (2) A transaction is categorised by assessing its size relative to that of the issuer proposing to make it and the listed holding company of such issuer, if applicable. (3) The comparison of size is made by the use of the percentage ratios set out below. The different categories of transactions are— (a) Category 3—a transaction where any aggregate percentage ratio is 5 per centum or more but each transaction is less than 20 per centum; (b) Category 2—a transaction where any aggregate percentage ratio is 20 per centum or more but each transaction is less than 30 per centum; (c) Category 1—a transaction where any aggregate percentage ratio is 30 per centum or more; (4) Figures used for categorisation purposes must be the aggregate market value of all those securities before the announcement of the transaction or, in the case of consideration in the form of a new class of securities for which an application to listing will be made, the issue price of such securities or, if no price can be determined for that new class of securities, the expected aggregate market value of the securities in that class. (5) In cases of doubt as to whether a transaction is to be categorised under this section, the issuer must consult the ZSE at an early stage and must comply with any instructions the ZSE may give regarding the categorisation of the transaction.

S.I. 134 of 2019 101 Percentage ratios 254. (1) The percentage ratios are the figures, expressed as a percentage, resulting from each of the following calculations–– (a) consideration to market capitalisation—the consideration divided by the aggregate market value of all the equity securities of the listed company; (b) dilution—the number of securities issued by an issuer as consideration for an acquisition compared to those in issue prior to the transaction; (2) Where a transaction is to be settled partly in cash and partly in shares, its category size is to be calculated by first assessing the cash-to-market capitalisation percentage and then adding this percentage to the dilution percentage. (3) The calculation showing all categorisation workings must be supplied to the ZSE when the announcement and circular are submitted for approval. (4) Where either of the above calculations produces an anomalous result, or where the calculations are inappropriate to the sphere of activity of the issuer, the ZSE may disregard the calculation and may substitute other relevant indicators of size. (5) The ZSE may require the issuer to provide a fair and reasonable opinion on transaction values, taking into account other ratios, or may use any other appropriate indicators of size to determine the category size of a transaction, and such indicators may include net asset valuations, discounted cash flow, statement of financial position and turnover. (6) If either of the percentage ratios changes to the extent that the categorisation of the transaction is altered between the time the transaction is first discussed with the ZSE and the announcement, the issuer must inform the ZSE and must comply with any instructions the ZSE may give regarding the categorisation of the transaction. Consideration 255. When calculating the consideration for a transaction— (a) the consideration is the amount paid to the sellers but the ZSE may require the inclusion of further amounts, for instance where the purchaser agrees to discharge any liabilities, whether actual or contingent, of the sellers as part of the terms of the transaction; (b) where all or part of the consideration is in the form of securities to be listed, the consideration attributable to those securities means the aggregate market value of those securities based on the ruling price of such securities at the time the terms of the transaction are agreed; (c) if deferred consideration is or may be payable in the future, the consideration is the maximum possible total consideration payable under the agreement. If that total consideration is not subject to any maximum the transaction will normally be treated as a Category 1, notwithstanding the category into which it otherwise falls; (d) if the transaction involves a new class of securities for which an application for listing will be made, the consideration is the product of their issue price or, if the issuer does not provide evidence of their listed price, some other appropriate value determined to the satisfaction of the ZSE. Indemnities and similar arrangements 256. (1) Any agreement or arrangement with a party, not being a member of the issuer’s group— (a) under which an issuer agrees to discharge any liabilities for costs, expenses, commissions or losses incurred by that party, whether or not on a contingent basis; and (b) which would be exceptional; and (c) under which the maximum liability is unlimited; must be treated as a Category 1 transaction. (2) For the purpose of this Part, indemnities such as those customarily given in connection with sale and purchase agreements and indemnities given to advisers against liabilities to third parties arising out of providing advisory services are not exceptional.

Securities and Exchange (Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Listings Requirements) Rules, 2019 102 Aggregation of transactions 257. (1)  Transactions completed during— (a) the 12 months prior to the date of the latest transaction; or (b) the period since the date on which the mostrecent published audited statement of financial position was prepared; or (c) the period since the publication of the latest pre-listing statement or circular; whichever is the shorter, must be aggregated with the latest transaction for the purpose of determining the categorisation to apply to the latest transaction. (2) In cases of doubt as to whether transactions must be aggregated under this section, the issuer must consult the ZSE at an early stage and must comply with any instructions the ZSE may give regarding the aggregation of the transactions. (3) Where acquisitions are entered into during a period of 12 months which cumulatively exceed 100 per centum in either of the percentage ratios, the provisions relating to a reverse take-over provided for in the Twenty-ninth Schedule (detailed requirements for take over and mergers) must be applied. (4) Without prejudice to the generality of subsections (1) and (2), transactions will normally only be aggregated in accordance with those sections if they— (a) are entered into by the issuer with the same party or with parties connected with one another; or (b) involve the acquisition or disposal of securities or an interest in one particular company; or (c) together lead to substantial involvement in a business activity which did not previously form a part of the company’s principal activities. (5) If under subsection (1) the aggregation results in a Category 1 requirement for shareholder approval, then that approval is required only for the latest transaction. Category 3 requirements 258. (1) In the case of a Category 3 transaction the issuer must, without delay and in any event within four calendar days after the terms of the transaction are agreed and before it is implemented, publish a press announcement setting out— (a) particulars of the transaction, including the names or details of— (i) any company or business which is the subject of the transaction; and (ii) the ultimate beneficiary of the transaction; and (iii) if the transaction is an acquisition, the sellers; and (iv) if the transaction is a disposal, the purchasers; and (v) the effective date of the transaction; and (vi) any conditions precedent; and (vii) any other significant terms of the transaction; and (b) a description of the business carried on by the listed company; and (c) the consideration for the transaction, and how it has been or is to be paid or given, including the terms of any arrangements for deferred payment; and (d) the value of the net assets that are the subject of the transaction, and any significant pro forma effect the transaction will have on the net assets and net tangible assets per share of the company; and (e) the profits attributable to the net assets that are the subject of the transaction, and any significant pro forma effect the transaction will have on the historical earnings and headline earnings per share of the company; and (f) the reason for the transaction; and

(6) Where an issuer is required to publish a supplementary press announcement in terms of subsection (5), the ZSE may require the issuer to ensure that— (a) any person who assumed responsibility for any statement or assessment contained in the earlier press announcement, or who was responsible for any assessment or forecast on the basis of which any such statement or assessment was made, assumes responsibility for any revision of that statement, assessment or forecast in the supplementary press announcement; (b) any other person on whose statement, assessment or forecast anything in the supplementary press announcement is based assumes responsibility for that statement, assessment or forecast. (7) If as a result of any significant change or new matter referred to in subsection (5) the percentage ratios of the transaction are affected and the transaction requires re-categorisation into a higher category, the issuer must re-categorise the transaction accordingly.

Fifth Schedule (Sections 129, 143, 272, 288 and 290) PART A Independent fairness opinions Scope of this Schedule The objectives of this Schedule are as follows:— (a) to provide sponsoring brokers and issuers with certainty, at an early stage of the process, as to the acceptability or otherwise to the ZSE of a nominated independent professional expert who will issue a fairness opinion; (b) to provide guidelines regarding the required quality of independent fairness opinions generally; and (b) to ensure consistent and detailed reporting practices with regard to fairness opinions. As the issues of independence and competence will be unique to every transaction, this schedule provides guidance rather than specific rules. The overriding objective is to ensure that the board of directors receives competent and adequate advice from an acceptable independent and competent third party regarding a transaction. The board of directors must ensure that any director who is party to the transaction (being the subject matter of the fairness opinion) is excluded from the process of mandating the expert and providing the necessary recommendations to shareholders. The issuer must confirm this in terms of the Schedule 5C declaration. 5.1 A fairness opinion must:— (a) be prepared by an independent professional expert, acceptable to the ZSE, who has no material interest either in the transaction or in the success or failure of the transaction; (b make appropriate disclosure where the independent professional expert has any existing or continuing relationship with the issuer or any other parties involved in the transaction; and (c) set out all of the material factors and assumptions taken into account in the preparation of the statement (as set out in paragraph 5.8 below). 5.2 At an early stage in a contemplated transaction and preferably before engaging a party to prepare a fairness opinion, the sponsoring broker on behalf of the issuer, must submit to the ZSE— (a) a declaration of independence completed by the nominated independent professional expert, in the form set out in Schedule 5A; (b) a declaration of competence completed by the nominated independent professional expert, in the form set out in Schedule 5B; and (c) a declaration by the issuer, in the form set out in Schedule 5C. The above declarations must be submitted for every transaction. 5.3 The ZSE may, unless the issuer is able to provide additional information to satisfy the ZSE, require the issuer to appoint a different independent professional expert to prepare the fairness opinion if (based on the information received in terms of paragraph 5.2 above and the ZSE’s investigation thereof) the ZSE is not satisfied as to— (a) the independence of the nominated independent professional expert; or (b) the competence of the nominated independent professional expert with regard to the particular transaction; or (c) any reasons given by the issuer for the appointment of the nominated professional expert. 5.4 The ZSE undertakes to give the sponsoring broker its approval or disapproval for the appointment of the independent professional expert within 120 hours of receipt of the duly completed declarations required in paragraph 5.2 above. No documentation will be accepted for review by the ZSE until approval for the appointment has been given. 5.5 Before issuing a fairness opinion, the independent professional expert must perform a valuation of the issuer or the subject of the transaction. Where a valuation has been prepared by a competent third party (in respect of assets such as property or mineral reserves and rights, for example), the independent professional expert should set out the manner in which he has satisfied himself or herself that he can rely upon the valuation. 5.6 The ZSE’s request for the opinion of an independent professional expert may result in a statement that the transaction is fair. Where this is not the case and the fairness is impaired, the independent professional expert should give full reasons for his opinion in this regard. Even if the opinion is that the transaction is fair, the independent professional expert must, where appropriate, emphasize critical matters upon which it has relied in arriving at the opinion.

Securities and Exchange (Zimbabwe Stock Exchange Listings Requirements) Rules, 2019 162 5.7 The ZSE only requires that the expert opine on the fairness of a transaction though it would allow the expert to opine on the reasonableness, provided detailed disclosure is made in this regard. Fairness is based on quantitative issues and reasonableness on qualitative issues. For illustrative purposes, in the case of a disposal to a related party, the transaction may be said to be fair if the consideration payable by the related party is equal to or greater than the value of the business that is the subject of the transaction. In other instances, even though the consideration may be lower than the value of the business, the transactionmay be said to be reasonable in certain circumstances, after considering othersignificant qualitative factors. 5.8 The content of the fairness opinion is at the discretion of the independent professional expert, but must include at least the following basic elements— (a) title; (b) addressee; (c) date of statement; (d) opening or introductory paragraph with the purpose for which the report has been prepared; (e) reference to the relevant ZSE listings requirement in terms of which the opinion is being issued; (f) headings identifying the major sections including, but not limited to, introduction, procedures and the opinion; (g) an explanation as to how the terms “fair” and, if so mandated by the board of directors “reasonable”, as indicated in paragraph 5.6 above, apply in the context of the specific transaction; (h) details of the information and sources of information; (i) identification and discussion of both the external and internal key value drivers,sensitivities performed and assumptions used; (j) if applicable, a summary of the manner in which the independent professional expert has satisfied itself as to the appropriateness and reasonableness of the underlying information and assumptions; (k) a full explanation of the significant factors that led to the opinion given; (l) any limiting conditions; (m) the relationships between the issuer ,and any other parties involved in the transaction, and the independent professional expert, as required by paragraph 5.1(b) above and as identified in the declaration completed in terms of paragraph 5.2(a) above and disclosure of the number and value of shares acquired, if the expert’s fees were paid for in shares; (n) confirmation that a valuation has been performed and identification of the valuation methodologies applied and, where there has been reliance upon a third party valuation, confirmation that the independent expert is satisfied with this valuation; (o) a summary of other factors taken into account or procedures carried out in reaching the opinion; (p) a statement that an individualshareholder’s decisionmay be influenced by such shareholder’s particular circumstances and, accordingly, that a shareholder should consult an independent adviser if in any doubt as to the merits or otherwise of the transaction; (q) the opinion; (r) the independent professional expert’s name (including registration number if the expert is registered anywhere with any professional body), address and authorised signature; and (s) any other information that the independent professional expert feels is appropriate. 5.9 The date on which the opinion is issued must be the same as the date that the directors authorise the submission of the relevant circular to the ZSE for formal approval. 5.10 The independent professional expert has a duty to evaluate all the information provided in a critical manner, as required in paragraph 5.8(j) above. This in no way implies that the information must be audited or that the accuracy of all information must be checked. There must be a statement as to how the information has been evaluated and whether or not the expert believes that such information is reasonable, particularly where the information contains forecasts prepared by the management or directors of the issuer. Any statement indicating that there has been no independent verification or any other similar statement would only be permissible subject to the following— (a) the experts stating clearly what is meant by “no independent verification”; and (b) such statement not invalidating any work that has been done in terms of this paragraph. 5.11 The ZSE has the right, but not the obligation, to request the independent professional expert to— (a) clarify any aspect of the statement; or (b) expand the statement so as to address any issues of concern to the ZSE.

In this instance the ZSE will record whichever executive staff members have qualified for Approved Executive classification aswell asthe details ofthe othersponsoring brokerstaff employed (“employmentstatus”).

General requirements 29.11 1. All parties involved in negotiations should aim at the ideal situation, that is, that negotiations should be carried out in such confidentiality that no suspension would be necessary and the company would be able at the conclusion of the negotiations to make an announcement giving full details of the transaction. 2. If the situation described in paragraph 1 above is not attainable the parties must submit to the ZSE a draft press announcement for approval. Such announcement, which must be published as soon as possible, should contain all available details regarding the negotiations and a warning to shareholders that they should consult their professional advisers before dealing in their shares until such time as the result of the negotiations is known. In these circumstances no suspension will normally be necessary, but where a brief suspension occurs because of factors such as price fluctuations, the listing will usually be restored on publication of the announcement. 3. Any other suspension of a listing, at the request of a company, will only occur in very exceptional circumstances, and then for the briefest possible period. 4. In all instances where a preliminary announcement has been published the parties concerned must publish a progress report every 28 days until negotiations have been finalised whereupon an announcement giving full details must be published. 5. Companies should ensure that when negotiations commence, the attention of all directors and members of staff involved should be drawn to prohibiting insider trading. 6. The ZSE will normally require that bankers or Auditors be requested to make a statement to the effect that a transaction is considered to be fair and reasonable in circumstances where— (a) the parties concerned in the transaction are not at arms’ length; (b) any special circumstances exist where the ZSE is of the opinion that the auditors opinion is required.
