2 - Introduction

On 13 February 2023, the Board of BLL issued a communiqué and a notice informing the Company's shareholders and the public in general that it intends to put forward a proposal for the reduction of the Company's stated capital (the "Capital Reduction") for approval by shareholders at the Special Shareholders Meeting. The purpose of this circular is to provide you with information relating to details of the Capital Reduction and in a second phase the short form amalgamation of HRHL and CSHL into BLL.

3 - Rationale

With the realignment of the BLL Group strategies in a post pandemic era and in view of increasing shareholders value, the restructuring of BLL through the reduction of capital followed by the amalgamation of HRHL and CSHL into BLL will result in a leaner structure.

This new holding company will enable BLL to be more agile, with the optimised operational structures, allowing the company to benefit directly from the enhanced value of all its owned subsidiaries.

The Board is satisfied on reasonable grounds that the Company will satisfy the Solvency Test as defined in section 6(1) of the Act immediately after the completion of the transactions.

The board is therefore proposing the following:

Step 1

Absorption of accumulated losses of MUR 1,652,688,178 based on unaudited half-year results ended December 31, 2022 and an additional MUR 79,882,132 to cater for losses on amalgamation based on step 2 and to create a reserve of MUR 71,887,192 to provide for ECL risk on current accounts between HRHL and HR OFL.

Step 2

Should step one be approved, the board will then proceed with the short form amalgamation of Haute Rive Holdings Limited and Circle Square Holding Company Ltd with BlueLife Limited where the surviving company shall be BlueLife Limited.
