3. PRINCIPAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE TRANSACTION<br />
3.1. Transaction Consideration and Funding<br />
The proposed Transaction Consideration is based on a cash and debt free Enterprise Value of the Acquired Business of €750 million (USD1.1 billion). The<br />
Transaction Consideration will be adjusted by the deduction of net debt and an adjustment for the difference between the target working capital and the actual<br />
working capital at closing. The Transaction Consideration will be settled as follows:<br />
• €400 million of cash paid out of the proceeds of the Rights Offering;<br />
• €50 million of newly issued Sappi Shares, being the Settlement Shares; and<br />
• the balance by the Vendor Loan Note of a maximum of €250 million.<br />
3.1.1 Cash<br />
The Company will pay €400 million of the Transaction Consideration on the Completion Date out of the proceeds of the Rights Offering. The Transaction is<br />
conditional upon the Rights Offering having closed and settled in accordance with its terms. Details on the Rights Offering will be contained in a rights offer<br />
circular that will be released when the terms and conditions of the Rights Offering are finalised.<br />
3.1.2 Settlement Shares<br />
The Settlement Shares will be listed on the JSE. The price at which each Settlement Share will be issued is Euro 7.16 (R82.39) per share, which was<br />
determined based on the volume weighted average price of Sappi Shares on the JSE over 30 trading days prior to the announcement of signing of the Master<br />
Agreement and the average EUR / ZAR daily exchange rate for the same period.<br />
At this price, the total number of Settlement Shares will be 6,982,105. This number of shares will be adjusted if the subscription price for the Rights Offering<br />
is below Sappi’s share price on the day before announcement of the terms of the Rights Offering. In such circumstances, the adjustment to the number of<br />
Settlement Shares will be based on the number of shares issued in the rights offering and the net proceeds of the Rights Offering. An adjustment to the<br />
number of Settlement Shares will also be made if Sappi were to take any other action with the effect of diluting the value of its shares, or otherwise<br />
disadvantaging M-real in respect of the Settlement Shares, prior to the date it is required to deliver the Settlement Shares. Such dilutive actions include<br />
announcement and completion of the payment of special dividends (but not ordinary dividends), capital distributions or capital reorganisations. Any such<br />
adjustment is to be determined by an international investment bank appointed by Sappi.<br />
