PSG - shortlisted for the DealMakers Brunswick Deal of the Year 2022
CDH is working with the PSG Group on a complex deal, valued at over R20 billion, that incorporates M&A, capital markets and restructuring.
Our team is advising PSG on the restructuring of the group, which includes the unbundling of all PSG Group's shares in PSG Konsult, Kaap Agri, Curro, Stadio and CA Sales, which are all listed on the Johannesburg Stock Exchange. This restructuring falls under the Companies Act 71 of 2008 because, ahead of its delisting, the PSG Group is disposing of the majority of its assets and repurchasing shares from the majority of shareholders in terms of a scheme of arrangement.

Capacity building and fostering expertise in international arbitration in Africa
The central theme of the Johannesburg Arbitration Week 2024 (JAW) was showcasing arbitration in Africa. This prompted engaging discussion and renewed calls for the Africanisation of international arbitration. This encompasses African disputes being arbitrated in Africa, presided over by African arbitrators, administered by African arbitral institutions, and argued by African lawyers. With expanding foreign direct investment in Africa and the expansion of BRICS to Egypt and Ethiopia, the calls to ensure that Africa has a voice in and imprint on the international arbitration proceedings it participates in are gathering momentum. This ensures that Africa’s unique priorities and experiences are sufficiently taken intoconsideration.

The ball is in our courts: How section 20(9) of the Companies Act empowers courts to unmask corporate identity
One of the cornerstones of South Africa’s corporate law is the separate legal existence of companies, which provides, generally, protection to its directors and shareholders against personal liability for a company’s debts and also makes a distinction between companies forming part of the same group of companies. However, sometimes, through the unlawful actions of shareholders and directors, it is necessary for our courts to look behind the separate legal entity companies in a group and treat such group companies as one legal entity.
