      FINALISATION ANNOUNCEMENT - THE TERMS OF THE RIGHTS 
                             OFFER 
-------------------------------------------------------------- 
 

INTRODUCTION

ZCCM-IH Shareholders ("Shareholders") are referred to the Declaration Announcement published on 11 April 2014 advising shareholders of the proposed Rights Offer to be implemented by way of a fully subscribed renounceable Claw-Back Rights Offer (the "Rights Offer").

In compliance with the Listing Rules of the Lusaka Stock Exchange ("LuSE") and further to the Declaration Announcement dated 11 April 2014, Shareholders are advised that the relevant Rights Offer terms and documentation have been finalized. Accordingly, ZCCM-IH will now proceed with the Rights Offer.

AUTHORISATION

At the Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) of the Company held on 24 February 2014, ("EGM") Shareholders authorised the Board of Directors to proceed with the recapitalisation of ZCCM-IH to strengthen the Company's balance sheet in the immediate to long term by issuance of new Ordinary Shares to existing Shareholders by way of a renounceable claw-back rights offer to raise up to a maximum of ZMW 2.5 billion.

SALIENT TERMS

Pursuant to the adoption of the EGM resolutions and the completion of the recapitalisation, the Government of the Republic of Zambia ("GRZ") and the National Pension Scheme Authority ("NAPSA") have subscribed for a total of 71,503,858 new Ordinary Shares on the following basis:

   1.    GRZ 
   --     43,100,861 new Class "A" Ordinary Shares at a price of ZMW 29.23 per share; and 
   --     19,482,040 new Class "B" Ordinary Shares at a price of ZMW 29.23 per share. 
   2.    NAPSA 

-- 8,920,957 new Class "B" Ordinary Shares at a price of ZMW 29.23 per share on a claw - back basis.

GRZ's subscription for the 43,100,861 new Class"A" Ordinary Shares and the 19,482,040 new Class"B" Ordinary Shares represents full take up of its 87.53 % entitlement under the Rights Offer.

The 8,920,957 new Class "B" Ordinary Shares subscribed for by NAPSA represent the full 12.47 % entitlement due to minority Shareholders under the Rights Offer and these shares are therefore subject to claw back purchases by the respective minority Shareholders in exercise of their rights to follow and subscribe for the new shares on a pro-rata basis, should they wish to.

The recapitalisation of ZCCM-IH has therefore already been realised and completed via the share subscription by GRZ as take-up of its full entitlement of 87.53 % of the Rights Offer and the underwriting subscription by NAPSA for 12.47 % of the Rights Offer, in advance of the opening date for minority Shareholders to participate in the Rights Offer exercise.

Accordingly, minority Shareholders are now being offered the opportunity to exercise their right to claw back their shareholding in ZCCM-IH by participating in the Rights Offer via purchase of shares from NAPSA on a pro-rata basis, should they wish to. The salient terms and features of the Rights Offer are summarised below:

UNDERWRITER

ZCCM-IH entered into an Underwriting Agreement with NAPSA in terms of which NAPSA committed and subscribed, on a claw back basis, for all the 8,920,957 Claw-back Rights Offer Shares representing 12.47 % of the Rights Offer as the full entitlement of the Minorities. Accordingly, a total of ZMW 260,759,573.11 has already been paid by NAPSA to ZCCM-IH in line with the Underwriting Agreement.

The Claw-back Rights Offer has therefore been fully subscribed for and the minority Shareholders will now have the opportunity and right to acquire , should they wish to , from NAPSA , their pro rata portion of the Rights Offer Shares upon the terms set out in the Circular.

In terms of the Underwriting Agreement, after the Rights Offer closes , NAPSA will be allotted such number of Rights Offer Shares as are not subscribed for ( i.e. not clawed back ) by the minority Shareholders.

LETTERS OF ALLOCATION (LA's)

The rights to new ZCCM-IH shares (i.e. letters of allocation or LA's) will be listed and therefore can be traded on the LuSE for the duration of the Rights Offer as per the time table above and will lapse thereafter. ZCCM-IH will issue all rights (LAs) to new shares in dematerialised form.

RIGHTS OFFER DOCUMENTATION

The Rights Offer Circular document ("Circular") and a form of instruction, where applicable, setting out detailed information relating to the Rights Offer will be posted to shareholders on or around Monday, 12 May 2014.

Shareholders are reminded that the last day for registration for the rights (the Record Date) is Friday 09 May 2014.

-- The last day to trade on the Marché Libre Paris in France to qualify for Record Date is Friday 25 April 2014.

-- The last day to trade on the LuSE in Zambia in order to be on the share register on Record Date is Tuesday 06 May 2014.

FOREIGN BASED SHAREHOLDERS

This paragraph is intended as a general guide only and any person outside of Zambia who is in doubt as to his or her position should consult his or her professional advisor without delay.

The Claw-back Rights Offer is being made in accordance with the Company's Act, the Securities Act and the LuSE Listing Requirements in Zambia. The Offer is addressed to persons to whom it may lawfully be made. By subscribing for any Claw-back Rights Offer Shares, you will be deemed to have represented and agreed that :- (a) you are not (and any person for whom you are acting is not) (i) resident in any jurisdiction in which such offer would be unlawful or (ii) a person to whom the Claw-back Rights Offer may not lawfully be made; and (b) you have received all necessary information to make an informed investment decision.

The LAs and the Claw-back Rights Offer Shares have not been and will not be registered or offered under or in terms of the laws of any jurisdiction other than Zambia. In the circumstances, the making of the offer, the distribution of the Circular and the form of instruction, where applicable, and the transfer of Claw-back Rights Offer Shares and/or LAs to certain persons who have registered addresses outside of Zambia, or who are resident or located in, or who are citizens of, countries other than Zambia, ("Foreign Persons") may be restricted by the laws of the relevant jurisdiction and failure to comply with any of those restrictions may constitute a contravention of the laws of any such territory ("Restricted Territories").

Foreign Persons should consult their professional advisors as to whether they require any governmental or other consent or need to observe any other formalities to enable them to participate in the offer and/or to sell or renounce their LAs. It is the responsibility of Foreign Persons wishing to take up LAs or to transfer or dispose of their LAs to satisfy themselves as to the full observance of the laws of any relevant territory in connection therewith.

Receipt of the Circular, a form of instruction or the crediting of LAs to the securities account of a Foreign Person will not constitute an offer in those jurisdictions in which it would be illegal to make an offer and such Foreign Persons will not be entitled to take up or transfer LAs or acquire Claw-back Rights Offer Shares unless such action would not result in the contravention of any registration or other legal requirement in their relevant jurisdiction.

NEXT ANNOUNCEMENT

The Last Announcement giving the results of the close of the Rights Offer will be published on or around Monday 30 June 2014.
