In terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited, a listed company is required to publish a trading statement as soon as it is satisfied that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the financial results for the financial period to be reported on next will vary by 20% or more from those of the previous corresponding period.

Shareholders are hereby advised that a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the earnings per share of R&E for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 will be between 56 and 76 cents per share, compared to the audited earnings per share of 1032 cents per share for the previous financial year ended 31 December 2010. Shareholders should however take note that included in the earnings per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 was the JCI settlement which amounted to 1091 cents per share, without which the loss per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 would have amounted to 59 cents per share.

Furthermore, a reasonable degree of certainty exists that the headline loss per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 will be between 11 and 31 cents per share, compared to the audited headline earnings per share of 1051 cents per share for the previous financial year ended 31 December 2010. As detailed above, included in the headline earnings per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 was the JCI settlement of 1091 cents per share, without which the headline loss per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2010 would have amounted to 40 cents per share.

The earnings per share and headline earnings per share for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 is therefore in line with management’s expectations. The financial information on which this trading statement is based has not yet been reviewed and reported on by the Company’s auditors. The results for the financial year ended 31 December 2011 are expected to be published in due course.

1. Introduction

• • ODD-LOT OFFER AND SPECIFIC REPURCHASE

In order to facilitate an inexpensive method for minority shareholders in R&E to realise their investment in R&E where they receive an offer price at a premium per R&E share and do not have to incur transaction costs, the directors of R&E are proposing the implementation of an odd-lot offer to R&E shareholders holding 99 or less ordinary shares (“odd-lot offer”) as well as a specific offer to repurchase the shares of R&E shareholders holding from 100 to 1 500 ordinary shares in R&E (“specific offer”). In doing so the Company will also be able to reduce the substantial and ongoing costs of administration connected with a large number of odd-lot and specific holders.

• • As at Monday, 27 June 2011, 835 shareholders, being 32.71% of the total number of R&E shareholders, held less than 100 shares each (“odd-lot holders”). An additional 1 176 shareholders, being 46.07% of the total number of R&E shareholders, held from 100 to 1 500 shares each (“specific holders”). This means on Monday, 27 June 2011, 78.78% of the total number of R&E shareholders held 1 500 shares or less each. In aggregate these shareholders hold approximately 0.79% of the total number of R&E shares in issue.

• • In terms of the odd-lot offer, odd-lot holders are offered the opportunity to:

• Sell their odd-lot holdings for the cash consideration; or
• Retain their odd-lot holdings.

Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election will automatically be regarded as having chosen to sell their odd-lot holdings for the cash consideration.

• • In the case of specific holders, R&E is extending a specific offer to acquire their entire shareholding for the cash consideration. Those specific holders who do not make an election will retain their shareholding in R&E.

• • A circular containing the full details of the odd-lot offer and specific offer (collectively hereinafter “the offers”) and incorporating a notice of general meeting (“the General Meeting”) will be posted to all R&E shareholders on or about Monday, 8 August 2011 (“the circular”).

2. MECHANISM OF THE OFFERS

• • The offers shall be open for acceptance from 09:00 on Monday, 12 September 2011 and will close at 12:00 on Friday, 30 September 2011. All odd-lot holders and specific holders, recorded as such on the register at the close of business on Friday, 30 September 2011, will be invited to participate in the odd-lot offer and specific offer, respectively.

• • ODD-LOT OFFER

The shares of those odd-lot holders who do not make an election to retain their shares and the shares of those odd-lot holders who elect to sell their shares, will be repurchased by R&E at the offer price (see paragraph 3 below). Any such repurchase will be regarded as an acquisition of shares in terms of section 48 of the Companies Act 71 of 2008, as amended (“the Companies Act”) and as an odd-lot offer in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE Limited (“JSE”). Shareholders will be required to vote on the odd-lot offer at the general meeting referred to in paragraph 8 below. Odd-lot holders who do not make an election to retain their shares should note that, subject to the applicable resolutions being passed at the aforesaid general meeting, their shares will automatically be repurchased by R&E, without any further action on their part and without any further notice to them.

• • SPECIFIC OFFER

The entire shareholding of those specific holders who elect to sell their shares will be repurchased by R&E at the offer price. Any such repurchase will be regarded as an acquisition of shares in terms of section 48 of the Companies Act and as a specific repurchase of shares in terms of the Listings Requirements of the JSE. Shareholders will be required to vote on the specific repurchase at the General Meeting referred to in paragraph 8 below. Specific holders who do not elect to sell their shares will retain their shareholding in R&E.

3. OFFER PRICE

The offer price of 265 cents per R&E share, is the volume weighted average traded price of a R&E share on the JSE over the 30 trading days commencing Monday, 20 June 2011 and ending Friday, 29 July 2011, plus a 10% premium.

4. EFFECT ON R&E’S SHARE CAPITAL

The repurchase of shares by R&E pursuant to the offers will have no material effect on R&E’s ordinary share capital.

5. FINANCIAL EFFECTS

The repurchase of the shares pursuant to the offers will have no significant effect on R&E’s earnings per share, net asset value per share or tangible net asset value per share. Assuming the maximum number of 591 085 shares are repurchased in terms of the offers the financial cost is expected to be R1.57 million with an additional R289 000 for the expenses of the transaction.

6. Salient dates and times

The salient dates and times in respect of the offers are as follows:

Notes:

• • These dates and times are subject to change. Any material changes will be released on SENS.

  • In the case of certificated odd-lot holders and specific holders who elect to receive the cash consideration, payment will be made either by:
• electronic funds transfer into the bank accounts of odd-lot holders and specific holders if such holders’ banking details have been provided in the form of election and surrender; or
• by cheque which will be posted at the risk of odd-lot holders and specific holders if such holders’ banking details have not been provided in the form of election and surrender.
  • Those odd-lot holders who do not make an election will be deemed to have elected to sell their ordinary shares. Specific holders who do not make an election will be regarded as having chosen not to sell and their shareholding will remain unchanged.
