WITHDRAWAL OF CAUTIONARY

The Board of Directors of ZCCM Investments Holdings Plc ("ZCCM-IH") ("the Board") wishes to refer the shareholders and the market to the announcement dated 23 May 2019 regarding ZCCM-IH filing a petition in the High Court of Zambia ("the Court") for the winding up of Konkola Copper Mines PLC ("KCM") on 21 May 2019 (the "Petition") and the subsequent appointment of Mr Milingo Lungu as Provisional Liquidator of KCM (the "Provisional Liquidator") by the Court.

Shareholders are hereby informed that on 25th July 2024, ZCCM-IH filed an application to withdraw the Petition in the High Court of Zambia, and the Court subsequently issued an Order withdrawing the Petition and vacating the Order of Appointment of Ms Celina Mena Nair who replaced Mr. Milingo Lungu as the Provisional Liquidator.

The Shareholders are further informed that pursuant to an Order of the Court Dated 28th June 2024, wherein the High Court ordered the termination of the winding up petition forthwith, vacation of the Provisional Liquidator, Reinstatement of the Board and the Reclassification as a going concern of KCM. ZCCM-IH filed into Court on 31st July 2024 a Notice of Termination of The Winding Proceedings, Vacation of the Provisional Liquidator, Reinstatement of the Board, and Reclassification as a going concern (the "Notice"). The effect of the said Notice is that KCM is no longer in Provisional Liquidation, the Board has been reinstated and management control returned to Vedanta Resources, the majority shareholder in KCM.

Accordingly, shareholders no longer need to exercise caution when dealing with this particular matter in their securities.  

 

By Order of the Board
