In line with Harmony’s stated commitment to unwind the Harmony / ARM cross shareholding, Harmony is pleased to announce that it has disposed of 14% of its investment in ARM (“the ARM shares”) to The ARM Broad-Based Empowerment Trust (“the Trust”) for a cash consideration of R829 827 460 representing a price of R29.00 per ARM share.

The Trust has been established for the purpose of warehousing the ARM shares to further facilitate broad-based empowerment in ARM’s shareholder base. The acquisition by the Trust increases ARM’s Black Economic Empowerment (“BEE”) shareholding from 43% to 57%. ARM is Harmony’s largest shareholder and BEE partner with 16.2% of Harmony.

“These funds will be allocated towards Harmony’s numerous growth projects currently under construction where Harmony believes it is able to generate a higher return on investment. It also further demonstrates Harmony’s commitment to South Africa and the South African gold mining industry,” commented Harmony CE, Bernard Swanepoel.
