Interim Management Statement and results of the 74th Annual General Meeting and Extra-ordinary General Meeting of 18 August 2011
The attainment of full indigenisation status and the raising of equity and debt financing to both re-financing the Group's subsidiaries and to invest into new projects are the current pillars upon which the Group expects to add shareholder value in future.
The Meikles Group currently requires working capital of US$61m of which a minimum of US$13m will be direct investment into TM Supermarkets by Pick n Pay .The Group is looking to raise a further US$90m for new projects.
The Group's initiatives are aimed at attracting strategic partners, skills and capital in a manner that will stimulate investment and employment creation in Zimbabwe.These expansion and restructuring initiatives preclude the payment of dividends in the near future. The Group's strategies will not involve a rights offer at the holding company level.
All of the negative legacy issues affecting the Group have been satisfactorily concluded from a legal and regulatory perspective with no adverse consequences to the Group.
