The SDJV is an unincorporated joint venture between Gold Fields Operations Limited (“GFO”) and GFI Joint Venture Holdings Proprietary Limited (“GFIJVH”). GFO and GFIJVH are wholly owned subsidiaries of Newshelf 899 Proprietary Limited (“Newshelf”). The share capital of Newshelf comprises of:
90,000,000 “A” shares, representing 90% of Newshelf’s equity. Gold Fields Limited is the holder of the “A” shares; and
10,000,000 “B” shares, representing 10% of Newshelf’s equity. South Deep’s BEE shareholders are the holders of the “B” shares.
11    The “B” shares entitle the BEE shareholders to a cumulative preferential dividend of R20.0 million per annum for the first 10 years (expired in December 2020), R13.3 million per annum for the next five years and R6.7 million for the five years thereafter. After 20 years, this preferential dividend will cease. The “B” shares’ rights to participate in the profits of Newshelf over and above the cumulative preferred dividend were initially suspended. The suspension will be lifted over a 20 years period on a phased-in basis as follows:
after 10 years, in respect of one-third of the “B” shares;
after 15 years, in respect of another one-third of the “B” shares; and
after 20 years, in respect of the remaining one-third of the “B” shares.
After 20 years, all of the “B” shares will substantially have the same rights as the “A” shares. The BEE shareholders must retain ownership of the “B” shares for 30 years.
