SENS-AI conclusion

AttBid and Atterbury Property Fund have increased their aggregate stake in RMH to 41.24% through ongoing market acquisitions at R0.47 per share, in compliance with Takeover Regulation Panel disclosure requirements. This continuation event confirms steady execution of the previously announced mandatory offer, effectively pinning the near-term share price at the R0.47 acquisition floor while progressively reducing the stock's free float. This filing does not represent a new premium or an alteration to the existing offer terms. Investor Takeaway: The continued consolidation of shares at the R0.47 offer price confirms the execution of the mandatory offer but removes any residual price discovery for remaining minority shareholders. Rating Context: This is a technical/administrative event with no direct equity impact. No portfolio action required.

Routine compliance filing for an ongoing mandatory offer. No new equity signal. No portfolio action required.
