CANCELLATION OF LISTING OF ORDINARY SHARES ON THE
OFFICIAL LIST OF THE LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE
Impala Platinum Holdings Limited ("the Company") has requested
the UK Financial Services Authority to cancel the listing of the
Company's ordinary shares of 2.5 South African cents each
("Ordinary Shares") on the UK Official List and to cancel the
admission of the Ordinary Shares to trading on the London Stock
Exchange's market for listed securities. It is expected that the
cancellation of the UK listing and of the admission of the Ordinary
Shares to trading on the London Stock Exchange ("LSE") will take
effect at 8.00 a.m. (UK time) on
14 January 2013 (the "effective
date").
The Ordinary Shares have been listed on the UK Official List
since February 1973. Currently,
shareholders holding approximately 0.12% of the total issued
capital of the Company appear on the Company's UK register of
members.
However, since listing on the LSE, only a small amount of
trading in the Ordinary Shares has been conducted on the LSE and
taking into account the high costs associated with being admitted
to the UK Official List, the board of directors of the Company
consider that there is no longer any significant benefit to the
Company in maintaining this listing.
Following cancellation of the listing and the admission to
trading in London, the UK register
maintained by Computershare Investor Services PLC will continue.
However, subject to putting the appropriate arrangements in place,
shareholders will only be able to trade their shares on the JSE
Limited ("JSE") after the effective date. It should be noted that
in order to trade their shares on the JSE, shareholders will be
required to dematerialise their shareholding. For further
information in this regard shareholders should contact
Computershare at the address or telephone number below.
