• Mantengu agreed on October 27, 2026, to sell Sublime Technologies to four family trusts for R 1,001 in cash.
• The sale covers 100% of Sublime’s issued share capital and all loan-account claims, reducing group debt by approximately R 135 million.
• The deal requires extinguishing the seller’s guarantees on approximately R 112 million of external debt by November 30, 2026, unless extended.
• The disposal eliminates monthly costs of approximately R 1.2 million, down from R 4 million–R 5 million before staff reductions.
• Sublime has generated no income since June 2025; its energy-intensive silicon carbide operations are unviable at current Eskom tariffs.
